Turtles

 

Giant concrete turtles upon which kids of all ages can climb and play. What more do you need for some fun time out of the car while roadtripping?

I like turtles.

Mammoth Site

The Hot Springs, South Dakota, Mammoth Site is home to the world's largest concentration of mammoth remains.

Ochopee Post Office

After the Ochopee post office burned down in 1953, a tomato farm irrigation pipe shed was quickly transformed into a post office. This tiny post office has served the tiny everglades town of Ochopee ever since.

Octagon Wildlife Sanctuary

The Octagon Wildlife Sanctuary in Punta Gorda, Florida, has rescued and cared for over 1000 animals over the past 30 years. The sanctuary is not a zoo but is open to the public on weekends and by appointment.  They depend on donations and admission fees to care for the animals.

We especially enjoyed the opportunity to get up close with the big cats.

Keep your fingers out of the kitty cages
