The Unique Cultural Experience You Can Only Enjoy Right Here In Florida

Visiting the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum in Clewiston provides a unique cultural experience in Florida. Come learn about the Seminole Tribe!

Published Sep 11, 2024

Many unique cultural experiences in Florida can be enjoyed on a free day from work or a weekend with the kids. Some of my favorite afternoons are spent in museums, nature preserves, or other special places that put education at the forefront. If you happen to be in the Clewiston area, then I recommend taking a trip over to the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum. Located on the Big Cypress Reservation, this museum celebrates the history and traditions of the Seminole Tribe and provides insights into Florida from long, long ago.

It's never too late in Florida to enjoy some waterpark fun, am I right? But if you really want to try something unique, I recommend heading to Rapids Water Park in Riviera Beach for Florida's first and only dueling water coaster. Dubbed Mega Mayhem, this water coaster has been declared the longest dueling coaster of its kind, and you can battle your friends to see who shoots to the bottom the fastest.
