South Florida Attractions
The list of things to do in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties seems endless. South Florida's tropical environment makes it an excellent spot for zoos and botanical gardens, while museums offer a respite from the sizzling South Florida sun. The following list of South Florida museums, gardens, zoos, and other attractions are ones that we have personally visited since this site was started.

Boomers!
Boomers! is a chain of entertainment complexes with locations in California, Florida, and New York. This one is located in Boca Raton, and is a great place to take kids (as well as the young-at-heart) for a fun day of widely varied activities.
There's a lot to chose from at Boomers!. There are the traditional things like bowling and miniature golf, and more unusual activities like bumper boats (I love these!) and Lazer Tag. You'll also find a game room with tons of video games, go-karts, a rock climbing wall, and a play area for little kids.
Naturally, there's a snack bar. The food isn't great, but it's about what I expected.
There is no charge for admission, but the fun doesn't come cheap. Each game and attraction costs a specified number of "points"; points can be purchased individually ($1.00 for 3 points, $5.00 for 15 points, and $10.00 for 30 points) or in value packs of up to $100 for 750 points. You can also purchase special passes that include certain activities. Group rates and private parties are also available.
The center is open Sunday through Thursday, 10AM – 10PM and Friday and Saturday, 10AM – 12 Midnight. Be sure to check their web site for specials and such, as some days require you to purchase a value pack to enter (Like $12 Tuesday). (Boomers! continued)
