Spending the day cruising around on two wheels is fun and also healthy for Dad and the kids. Try a bicycle scavenger hunt to make it even more interesting. Dad doesn’t own a bike? You can rent bikes from Jupiter Outdoor Center at Riverbend Park or the Visit Palm Beach Kiosk in Downtown. You can even reserve them online go to https://www.visitpalmbeach.com.

4. Go camping

Camping is a great way to get some fresh air and take a break. You can also pitch a tent in your backyard. Especially if your kids are too young to make it through a night at the campsite, consider setting up a tent in your backyard for a similar experience.  Make sure to grab stuff to make  over the fire – smore’s, hot dogs etc are easy to roast over a fire. If you are in your backyard, you can always go inside if it gets to hot and buggy.
