Play Away Adventures Parents, grandparents make memories and bond with their kids, grandkids on fun educational trips. We Looking for a fun way to vacation with your grandkids?

Grandparents get a chance to make memories and bond with their grandkids on fun educational travel trips. We do all the planning and make all the arrangements. Both the adults and children will enjoy our interesting, exciting, learning-oriented adventures. This summer we are providing two types of trips. One in New Orleans (with a culture-based theme) and one in South Florida (with an animal-based

theme). The New Orleans trips – “Steamboats, Parade Floats and Music in Mystical New Orleans” – are for kids ages 9-13 and the adults in their lives. During this trip, we’ll explore the world of Mardi Gras and Jazz, along with the mysticism of Voodoo and the “Cities of the Dead” (cemeteries), in New Orleans. We’ll also take a bus tour of the town, ride the Steamboat Natchez, and travel on the oldest continuously running trolley in the US. Mix this up with the sounds, smells, and sights of New Orleans French Quarter, the local foods, and some art projects and scavenger hunts designed specifically for this trip and the kids in the age range, and you will have a fun, fascinating experience in one of America’s favorite cities. The Dates are: New Orleans 6/5- 6/10/2016
New Orleans 6/20 - 25/2016

The trip includes:
• 5 nights of accommodations
• 13 meals: 5 breakfasts, 4 lunches, 4 dinners
• 12 Expert-led lectures
• 11 Field trips
• 4 Hands-on experiences
• 4 Performances

The South Florida trip – “Lions, and Alligators in South Florida, Oh My!” – are for kids ages 6-9 and the adults in their lives. Beautiful, sunny Florida is the perfect location to learn the ins and outs of land and sea animals in the Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach areas. This is chance to come face to face and study the animals you and your youngster love the most, like alligators, owls, fish, giraffes, birds, lions, and MANY more animals! You will also learn about animals that you probably have never heard of – like, do you know what a Lechwe, Oryx, or Eland is? How about the difference between an Alligator and a Crocodile? We will visit the everglades, snorkel near the beach, visit local animal sanctuaries, and come face- to-face with lions (through the windows of our bus, of course!). You and your grandchild will both have a blast in this expert-led, informative, activities-packed adventure in beautiful, sunny South Florida. The Dates are: Ft. Lauderdale 6/26–7/1/2016
Ft. Lauderdale 7/10-7/15/2016
Ft. Lauderdale 7/31–8/5/2106

The trip includes:
• 5 nights of accommodations
• 13 meals: 5 breakfasts, 4 lunches, 4 dinners
• 12 Expert-led lectures
• 6 Field trips
• 6 Hands-on experiences
• 3 Performances


Once you arrive at the departure hotel, we take care of everything else – all the hotel arrangements, transportation, and meals (with the exception of meals on one afternoon where you are “on your own” to explore and see the sights of interest to you). We also make all the arrangements for the educational guides who will es**rt us at each field trip site, the arts/crafts projects, hands-on experiences, and evening activities. It is an easy way to travel, have fun, and leave with interesting and fond memories. Interested? E-mail us for more information at [email protected]. We would love to travel with you!!!!

I am super excited!! Play Away Adventures is going to take groups to St. Augustine this upcoming summer (2018)! I LOVE St. Augustine and have been hoping to take families or grandparents and their kids on an inter-generational learning adventure to see this amazing city. There is so much that we can offer that is not available to the general public. And all of it is interactive and hands-on. Tons of fun! Super interesting! (Did you know that St. Augustine is older than Jamestown?). If this sounds like it might be of interest, please look at my website: www.PlayAwayAdventures.com or e-mail me at [email protected]

Our kids were enthralled by this possum we got to see/touch at Sawgrass Nature Center. Did you know a possum is a marsupial? (Carries its baby in a pouch). I learned that when a possum plays “dead” it is instinctive (the possum has no control over the reaction), and its smell changes so that it actually smells like a dead animal.

I’m back from another great week with grandparents and grandkids who explored the wildlife in South Florida. We had so much fun! And, I’m always amazed at how much I learn! Here is a picture of an alligator who was right by our airboat at Everglades Holiday Park. Amazingly, we saw FIVE alligators!! (I don’t expect I’ll ever see this many all in one area again).

The 4 mile drive through at Lion Country Safari was fabulous! Our families researched an animal in advance, so they we so excited when they saw their “special” animal. Here we are entering Safari World. Giraffe feeding and the splash area here were such hits! Next time we’ll make it to Putt Putt, bird feeding, paddle boats, the petting zoo and the other offerings at the Park. If you are interested in joining our next adventure, it starts Sunday July 30, 2017. Contact Audrey at [email protected]

Red Reef was so much fun! We had fabulous weather. Here are two of our travelers. By the way, Ms. Audrey got sunburned on one of her shoulders (you’d think she’d learn to put sunscreen EVERYWHERE!).

At Gumbo Limbo, the kids climbed on the turtle statue. We saw some of the real turtles that Gumbo Limbo recently rescued. Fortunately, these turtles had the care at Gumbo which will enable most of them to be released back into the wild.

Ms. Robin pointed out adaptations (and let us touch!) animals rescued at the Sawgrass Nature Center. Here she is letting everyone feel a baby alligator. We loved the up-close look (not sure the alligator was quite as thrilled!).

Expecting to see alligators and lots of other neat animals when I take my 6-9 year-old travelers and their grandparents to see South Florida animals next week and the week of 7/31. This is all through Road Scholar's Intergenerational travel. If you know anyone with 6-9 year old grandkids, there still is room on the bus!! Have them contact Road Scholar ASAP. I'll post photos of our trips! Audrey
