Visit a Museum or Aquarium
Take a twist on your ideal trip to the museum by checking out some of the area’s most diverse and interactive rainy-day past times. From maritime encounters to appreciation of classic cars, the Sarasota Classic Car Museum and Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium are the top two on our list.
Sarasota Classic Car Museum – Known as the second oldest operating antique car museum in the country, the Sarasota Classic Car Museum is open seven days a week – perfect for that unpredictable rainy Florida weather! If you’re a fan of classic rock, check out John Lennon’s 1965 Mercedes Benz and Paul McCartney’s Mini Cooper! With more than 75 types of antique domestic and foreign cars, you’ll find collectors, car enthusiasts, and future NASCAR drivers checking out the stock!
Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium – As natives of Florida, we can all appreciate the beautiful marine wildlife surrounding us. From sea lions to turtles, sharks to manatees, we encourage visitors to totally immerse themselves in the beautiful marine exhibits of Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium. If you make the trip, don’t miss their 135,000 gallon shark exhibit (just stay dry!)
