The Flagler Museum is the luxury mansion commissioned by Henry Flagler (railroads and oil baron) as a wedding present to his third wife. Known as the "Taj Mahal of North America," the residence contains 55 rooms furnished in an assortment of styles with European antique pieces. The mansion is set in magnificent grounds which also contain Mr. Flagler's private, restored railroad car.

World famous for its permanent collection and the quality of its traveling exhibitions, the Norton Museum of Art first opened in 1941 to display the art collections of Ralph and Elizabeth Norton.

Younger children's eyes light up at the sight of Playmobil Fun Park. This favorite Palm Beach attraction is a replica castle with themed play areas such as a medieval village, a western town and a fantasy doll house.

Lion Country Safari is 500 acres of animal preserve divided into geographical regions ranging from the East African Serengeti to the American West.  Over 1,300 animals are kept here, ranging from elephants, antelopes, chimpanzees, wildebeest, ostriches, American bison, buffalo, flamingos, and many other unusual species.

Palm Beach animal parkThe park operates an un-caged environment for the animals and travel through the park is via motor vehicle following a viewing loop road.

The park also has an amusement park with paddleboats, a carousel, mini golf, and a baby animal nursery that's a hit with the younger children. In all it provides a great day out for the family.

A popular scenic biking route is the Lake Trail, running the length of the island on the Intracoastal Waterway side. It offers views of some of the mansions and grounds as well as views of downtown West Palm Beach.
