Sightseeing
One other place I recommend for animals is just off the beaten path. Just across the bridge (first stop light), on the mainland is the McGough Nature Center (long walk or a very short drive). They have a lot of info about local animals including ones to visit (one of their stars actually pooped on Pres George Senior) and a beautiful eagle. The coolest part is the turtle pond (they have food you can buy for the turtles). It has a great variety. They also have paths to run/walk, a dock into the intercoastal to check out and a small playscape. The best part of McGough is it is free (though I request you make a donation to the Friends of McGough while you are there). Good for a couple hour change of pace (take a lunch and have a picnic while you are there if you like) and is usually not busy during the weekend.

Clearwater Marine Aquarium
249 Windward PassageClosest "good" aquarium, Dolphin Tale was shot there.
Closest min-golf to the condo. This is a chain that has multiple locations up and down the islands. Each one is different. Look for coupons in guidebooks to save a small fortune.

Well worth the drive (I recommend doing a 1/2 day trip there). Grab lunch at the pier afterwards. Has tape tours including special ones for kids. This is the largest Dali collection in the US and second only to his museum in Spain.
