Dinosaurs Are Coming To North Fort Myers

Author Marija

When you think North Fort Myers, you may not think dinosaurs, but get ready, they’re coming.

Over 200 million years ago dinosaurs roamed the earth. And now, dinosaurs are back and coming to the Lee Civic Center in North Fort Myers June 16-18. Jurassic Quest is the #1 dinosaur experience in North America with the largest and most realistic touring dinosaur exhibit.

As you approach the gates of Jurassic Quest, you can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation building. The sight of towering dinosaur replicas greets you, their ferocious teeth and intimidating size creating a perfect photo opportunity. From the T-Rex to the Stegosaurus, these lifelike creatures give you a taste of the excitement that lies ahead.

While you will get to see these life-size dinosaurs, there’s much more than that. There are animatronic dinosaurs you can ride, bounce houses and crafts. You can even unleash your inner paleontologist. Armed with shovels and brushes, you’ll have the chance to dig up your very own dinosaur bones and learn how to identify them. Who knows? You might even uncover a new species!

Tickets start at $22 and are on sale now. For more information, click here

Southwest Florida City Named As The Best Place To Live In The US

I have lived in 4 cities in Florida and loved each of them differently. Tallahassee, Cape Coral, Fort Myers and now St. Petersburg. Which one did I like the best? I am loving St. Pete the most so far because there is a lot to do. None of the cities I lived in was named best place to live in the United States, but I did live near the one that is. And I did go to this Southwest Florida city  a lot.

Scholaroo compared 150 cities in the US in 9 different areas. Affordability, Crime levels, Leisure/Entertainment, Quality of life, Healthcare, Education, Employment, and Infrastructure. Can you guess which city in Florida was ranked number one for 2023? This particular Southwest Florida city was ranked last for affordability but #1 in Leisure & Entertainment and Healthcare. They held a major golf tournament shortly after Hurricane Ian. It’s also the home of the Pickleball Championships, and probably the best burger I’ve ever had in my life.

So even though housing and rent prices are screaming along to all time new highs, it still made number one. Still can’t guess? Below are the top 10 cities to live in the United States.

  • 10. Cambridge, Massachusetts

    Cambridge Ranked Number One In Education and Employment. Even though they are number 10 on the list, these are great reasons to move here.

  • 9. Leawood, Kansas

    Leawood Kansas has a high ranking when it comes to the Economy. According to this list they are #3 .

  • 8. Papillion, Nebraska

    Nebraska is in the top 10 for best healthcare. According to the research they are ranked #8.

  • 7. Madison, Mississippi

    My mom lives here and she loves it. Alpharetta is ranked #3 in the Economy.

  • 5. Portland, Maine

    I’ve been to Portland and it’s a very nice city. They have a high ranking in Leisure and entertainment. They come in at #4 in this category.
