Jupiter - My Family Travels

Jupiter, Florida is a

 

Jewel of

Unmatched adventures and a

Place

In which to

Travel and be

Entertained….

Royally!

 

Jupiter offers something for everyone.  We have parks galore for biking, hiking, sailing, and trailing.  Riverbend Park offers 10 miles of biking and equestrian trails.  There are canoes and kayaks to rent.  Paddle through alligator infested waters, while enjoying a glimpse of Mother Nature gone primeval. 

 

Diving, fishing, and snorkeling are Jupiter’s treasures.  Being so close to the warm Gulf Stream brings an abundance of sea life close to shore. 

 

We can’t forget our golfers, with residents Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus, (to name a few).  With nearly 30 golf courses within a 10-mile radius, it is truly a “golfer” paradise. 

 

Our schools are all “A” rated.  Jupiter High School includes nationally ranked teams in baseball and lacrosse.  The football team tries hard, but “The Spirit of Jupiter Marching Band” has ranked at least 4 in the state for the past 5 years. 

 

For outdoor fun, come out to Roger Dean Baseball Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins Spring Training camp.  It also hosts the Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals minor leagues.  Baseball, hotdogs and fireworks last from January to September.

 

The town has a soft heart for the arts with both the Maltz Theatre and the Atlantic Performing Arts studios showing off the local talent.   Some of our celebrity neighbors include Burt Reynolds, Celine Dion and Kid Rock.

 

Historically speaking, come visit the Loxahatchee Battlefield reenactments at Riverbend Park.  We also boast claim to the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Museum and Lighthouse from 1860.  Across the water lies Bubba Gump Fish Restaurant.  It offers boat tours as well as Forrest Gump trivia and tee shirts.

 

For those who enjoy animals, we have the Loggerhead Marine Life Center – a state of the art rehabilitation center for turtles.  It sponsors programs to watch the turtles being hatched on the beach and crawl to their ocean home.  They promote marine conservation, offer kids the opportunity to learn about biology and share their knowledge through local-sponsored events. 

 

For those who enjoy festivals, Jupiter offers a ton of them.  The Jupiter Jubilee , Artigras  and Artfest by the Sea just to name a few.  Every month is another opportunity to imbibe in good food and drink. 

 

For horse lovers, Jupiter offers a multitude of equestrian events.  We have a large population of cow folk out here in the “Farms”.  There are even opportunities for the “first timers” to take their first trot.

 

On the not so pretty days, head out to our bowling alley, complete with disco ball.  Or maybe take in a movie at the Jupiter Theatre.  There is shopping at the Palm Beach Gardens Mall, about 6.2 miles south on I-95.   It offers over 160 stores, for browsing and buying pleasure.

 

Our beaches are unique touting their own personality: some are for dogs, some are for surfers.   For pool lovers, our community pool offers a refreshing dip.  Less than 15 miles down I-95 is Rapids Water Park, known for it’s 35 slides and water rides, a lazy river and wave pool.

 

The car enthusiast will appreciate Palm Beach International Raceway, offering racing galore.  If learning to fly is on your bucket list, the Jupiter Tequesta Airport offers private lessons.

 

Jupiter is located approx. 2.35 hours south of Orlando (154 miles) and 2.40 hours north of Key Largo (150 miles).   

 

Voted by me, Austin Welsh, the best place to chill.

    I had the chance to experience Denmark during the Christmas season, and it’s something I’ll always hold close to my heart. Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen felt like stepping into a storybook. The way the entire park was dressed in soft, glowing lights, handmade decorations, and the comforting scent of mulled wine in the air made every moment feel special.

    There’s a unique warmth about this place that isn’t just from the cocoa or winter drinks, but from the people, the laughter, and the little traditions scattered around every corner. Watching families gather, children’s faces light up at the sight of the reindeer, and the simple joy of wandering through beautifully decorated stalls reminded me how lovely the holiday season can be.

    It’s not just about the decorations or the rides — it’s the feeling of togetherness, the calm, and the way time seems to slow down so you can really take in the small, meaningful moments. I left with a heart full of good memories and a deep appreciation for the charm and kindness of Danish traditions.

    If you ever get the chance to visit, I promise it’s a place that will stay with you long after you’ve left.

    This article is incredibly informative and well-structured. It offers clear, practical guidance on a topic many travelers often overlook—traveling with minors. The detailed breakdown of required documents and the emphasis on consent letters provide much-needed clarity for parents and guardians planning a trip. A must-read for anyone traveling with children!

  • Thank you for such praise, I am glad I could present the material in a way that made you want to see and experience St. Augustine’s Black history for yourself.

    Of course, this beach town has lots more to offer but if you are willing to walk the lanes and dig a little bit, the history of the first Blacks and how much they contributed to protecting the colony is fascinating.

    Hope you get there and enjoy your trip.

  • Davide

    Your trip sounds absolutely incredible! Lisbon is truly a magical city, and your experience during the EuroCup must have made it even more special. If anyone reading this is planning a trip to Lisbon, I highly recommend taking a free walking tour to explore the city’s rich history, charming streets, and hidden gems with a local guide. You can check out this great option: https://www.guruwalk.com/lisbon. It’s a fantastic way to get an insider’s perspective on the city!

    Great content for cruise lovers !! One of the most advantage of cruising is you do not have to pick your luggages every day , and every day you discover a new country. Although one day is not enough to see everything it gives an idea about a country ! With my experience since 2007, 99,9% of my guest said that Kusadasi/Turkey is their favorite port among all the other ports. Because we have a lot of options for every traveler. The most popular places , if your ship is docking at Kusadasi, is Ephesus ancient city which is only 25 min. drive away. Ephesus was the 4th largest ancient city of the world in 2 c AD.Most of the ruins are reconstructed and gives an idea about Roman’ glorious times. If you ever visit Ephesus, I suggest you to see Terrace Houses , where the rich were living and houses are decorated with beautiful mosaics and frescoes from 3rd c AD.If you want to add a spiritual break , thats House of Virgin Mary is there. It is believed that she was taken by St. John the apostle to there.Another place you must see Ephesus Museum.. Forget all that boring museums you have seen . While guiding , I explain the most interesting artifacts , including original staue of Artemis. BTW. did you know that one of seven wonders of ancient world was located there? Well… not so much left , but it is still worth to be seen. If you ever visit Kusadasi,and want to have private tour, please feel free to contact with me ! I am very happy to answer your questions and customize your trip to Ephesus. Please visit my website,not only for Ephesus trip but also to get an idea about my beloved country Turkey/Turkiye. You can see different types of tours that I organize. Archaeological , culinary or lets customize your tour to Turkey together!! luxurytoursofturkey.com/
