Studies have shown time and time again that vacations can help reduce stress, improve your mental health and create a better sense of well-being. Thankfully, you don’t have to go on a long and extravagant trip to feel the benefits! Beautiful Florida is a vacation destination on its own, and the Palm Beach area offers plenty of options for fun, stress-free day trips.

So, grab your significant other, round up the kids or get together with some good friends and visit any of these day trip destinations, all within an easy drive from Arden:

1. Lake Worth Beach

   A day at Lake Worth Beach is sure to be full of adventure! Visit Count Down Escape Games for a puzzling experience solving riddles and locks, then head over to Adventure Mini Golf – they even have an advanced course to test out your skills. Wrap up the evening at the Lake Worth Drive In movie theatre watching nostalgic films under the stars.

2. Delray Beach

   If you’re looking for a more romantic getaway, then a visit to Delray Beach might be for you. Start off the day at Wakodahatchee Wetlands, exploring the park as you stroll hand-in-hand. The Silverball Museum is filled with classic pinball and arcade games, and is sure to be an afternoon of fun! Then grab a waterfront dinner at Deck 84, and enjoy live music on the weekends.

3. Boca Raton

   Looking for something to do with the kids or grandkids? Sugar Sands Park in Boca Raton has a science museum, live theatre and a whole host of events throughout the year. For nature lovers, try out the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center – they have a butterfly garden, trails, aquariums and even scavenger hunts! Or if art is more your thing, the Museum of Art offers a variety of exhibits and special events just for kids.

4. Jupiter

   There’s no better place to have a classic Florida experience than Jupiter. Jupiter Beach Park is just the place to dip your toes in the water or play in the sand. You can tour Inlet Lighthouse, a historical lighthouse that’s been in operation since the 1860s. And when you’re hungry, grab a bite at the Food Shack and enjoy some of the freshest and tastiest seafood around!

5. Wellington

   Rather take a staycation? Take a wild ride at Lion Country Safari, right next door to Arden, and see what animals you spot!
