If you are unable to join us for the Friday outing to the museum, we encourage you to stop by if you have the time while you are in Lakeland. The Polk Museum of Art is free and has a lovely collection.
The famous Lakeland swans can be found around Lake Morton. We also recommend driving around Lake Morton (with swans), Lake Hollingsworth (the largest), and Lake Mirror (closest to downtown with Hollis Garden).
Hollis Garden is along Lake Mirror, close to downtown Lakeland. It is a small, but lovely garden.
This is not your average farmers market and boasts a wide variety of local artisans.
Our recommendations include: Take Heart (fair trade), Scout & Tag, Black & Brew (cafe), Pressed (bookstore and cafe)
For our aviation lovers, Fantasy of Flight has an impressive collection of aircraft.
