Bonita Springs & Estero Great Day Out
  Koreshan State Historic Site |
Head farther south to Bonita Springs and Big Hickory Seafood Grille, complete with "Cracker-style" fare and more refined choices, such as Cubana Grouper. Oh, and keep an eye out for Old Blue, the resident heron.
Next stop: Wonderland. Well, Everglades Wonder Gardens may feel like Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole, or at least back to the 1930s when the attraction was built. Each tour is narrated by a knowledgeable staffer (often one with a sense of humor). Tours are continuous, and visitors are escorted to wherever the group is at the time they arrive. Florida native fauna, including an extensive collection of alligators and other reptiles, are on display among tropical plantings.
After the 60-minute tour, drive to Bonita Beach Park to catch some rays or find some shells to add to your collection, then mosey on back to the mainland and Rodes Fresh & Fancy, a seafood market with a restaurant attached. The seafood is as fresh as it gets, and the key lime pie delightful.
