The Naples Zoo is a must stop while vacationing in Naples, Florida. There are many exhibits to see and shows to watch throughout the day. The many different sections of the zoo really keeps the crowds coming, like the African Oasis with it's jumping Impalas and gazelles and its rutting River hogs. It really makes you feel like you are on a real safari. At mid-day the gator feeding at Alligator Bay is where you want to be. You can see enormous gators fight over their lunches, jumping out of the water to snag a piece of chicken.
Throughout the day you can do just about anything you would like. There is a very exciting Primate Cruise (my favorite) that you float around and see all the monkeys, apes and of course the lemurs. (I cannot get enough of them) It is about a 20 minute ride so it is perfect when you need to cool off and take a break. It seems as if the primates think we are the shows and they are there to watch us!
I'm sure you will love it here at the zoo and I'm sure you would love the lemurs as well.

The Philharmonic Center for the arts.
"The Phil" is a gorgeous center that host one of the top regional orchestras in all of the US. It has been a non-profit organization since it was established in 1989 and has been entertaining our young and old since the very first day. This season the main attraction in the museum is Pablo Picasso's Preoccupations and Passions collection. It is the first major Picasso exhibit on our west coast and the Naples Museum of Art brought it to us, but only on till the 18th of this month. The Phil put on events every year for more then 57,000 youngsters, anything from concerts and shows to modern dance classes and music lessons. So you can see how The Phil really connects with our community and our youth.
If you are looking for something to do in the Naples or Southwest Florida area I would highly recommend going and spending a day at The Phil.

Dining on the Bay - Naples, Florida
Here is a look at the newly Opened Scenes on the Bay.Located at • 489 Bayfront Place • Naples, Florida 34102
Scenes on the Bay, just had it's grand opening this past weekend. The relaxing feel of this upscale restaurant with its multiple tv's, live entertainment and views of the Naples Bay makes you not want to leave this place. We only stopped in for a few drinks so we didn't get the chance to sample the food but from what I could see and smell I know it had to be good. I did read over the menu and was surprised on how diversified it was. With Asian, Caribbean, Italian and American food there is sure to be something here for the pickiest eaters. And with one of the most impressive beer and wine list in all of Naples how could you not stop in for a drink or two.
Here is a shot from our table we sat at over looking Naples Bay.
