The South Florida Museum in Bradenton has interesting exhibits for the whole family, and The Manatee Village Historical Park is a must see for history buffs. This historical park takes you back in time where you can tour restored buildings such as the Wiggins General Store, Fogarty Boatworks and Bunker Hill School. There is also a hands-on exhibit at the park for children and a lovely picnic area sheltered by two-hundred-year-old oaks. Shopping is another popular pastime in Bradenton. The Village of the Arts is located in downtown Bradenton at 12th Street and 11th Avenue where artisans live, work and sell from their studios. An open-air farmer’s market is held every Saturday along the historic cobblestone Main Street of Bradenton, and the Red Barn Flea Market & Plaza, one of Florida’s most unique shopping experiences, features more than 600 retail stores and flea market style booths. The Orlando attractions such as Disney World, MGM Studio and Sea World are just an hour and a half away from Bradenton. What does all of this mean to you, the tourist?

Bradenton Weather & Climate

South Central Florida, along the Gulf Coast near the south end of Tampa Bay, enjoys warm weather with lots of sunshine year round. During the months of June through September, it is hot and humidity hovers around 50 percent or higher. Although this sounds high, Gulf breezes help to moderate temperatures and virtually every structure in Florida is equipped with air conditioning. The rainy season is from late May through October. You can expect almost daily thunderstorms during this time, but they dissipate quickly and within minutes the sun is shining again. Winters are much drier in comparison with lovely warm daytime temperatures and cool nights. The hurricane season in Florida runs from late August through November, but generally plenty of warning time is given for these types of tropical storms.
