2. Design-Your-Gift
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 74 reviews
Design-Your-Gift is an interactive bead and jewelry design store for ages 5 to 105. Over 40,000 beads that I have purchased in the U.S. and international cities - St. Petersburg, Manila, Venice, New Delhi, Mumbai, Paris, Buenos Aires, Amsterdam and more. Loose beads can be purchased individually, but most visitors sit and design their jewelry on site. Plus, I can teach customers how to finish clasps and ear wires or complete the jewelry for them. Customers can choose to create their own special jewelry for themselves or for gifts for the special women in their lives. It's a great destination for birthday parties, ladies night out groups, rainy days or too hot days in SWFL, or when out-of-town visitors need a creative activity! And great for dads to bring the kids (boys too) on a Saturday to make gifts for mom for the holidays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or just because! The schedule is posted on the website or customers are welcome to call to schedule a private party or visit.

I didn’t even know this place existed. We went for my boyfriends birthday and had a great time. We did axe throwing (our first time) and the girl that was our axe expert was super fun and very bubbly. We ended up deciding to do an escape room too that day because she was so awesome!

Come experience the Wonder! Travel back in time to Old Florida with a visit to this historic cultural icon. Established in 1936, the Everglades Wonder Gardens has an extraordinarily rich history.

We visited the Wonder Gardens in May of 2019 and had 2 seniors 3 Adults and 1 toddler in our group. I cannot say enough good things about this place!! It simply is Wonderful. From the staff, and the affordability of admission and food for the animals , to the cleanliness of the grounds and the nice conditions of the animals. We truly had a great time!! Some highlights were feeding the alligators, and flamingos!!! Who knew flamingos were so large!!! Highly recommend especially if you have small children. It’s just the right size And there is plenty of shaded areas. Highly recommend!!!
