It's always rejuvenating to get out in nature! Frenchman's Forest offers a very short walk on a paved path through gorgeous tropical jungle and tall forest to a gazebo overlooking a small rippled lake. Kids spark up on a walk like this. The path continues as a grass and dirt trail which is not fun if the grass has not been trimmed because it makes your legs itchy and you feel worried about snakes, ticks, and other creepy crawlies. So I recommend just coming here if you want a very short walk with kids and have somewhere else to go afterward. It's nice to get a little dose of nature to remind you of what matters. Afterward head over to Downtown at the Gardens for a train ride and carousel.
