Palm Beach Attractions – Armory Art Center Sep 29

While you’re out booze cruisin’ the Intracoastal Waterway or hunkering down in a boardroom by the beach (blasphemy, honestly) know you can return to a little bit of culture in the midst of your marauding.

Eras away from the state-of-the-art, modern day, hip and chic architectural styles, treat yourself to some historical happenings while honing your creativity.

Guests at the Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Resort can lounge and lavish in the sun as often as they please, but when they get a wild hair to get creative?

The Armory Art Center is a not-for-profit community based arts education and exhibition center. Founded in 1986, it now stands and continues to grow as proof of the community’s drive and involvement in establishing a place for people to gather for art and appreciation.

More than a dozen state-of-the-art studios call the Armory their home, housed in a building modeled after the Art Deco Style (circa 1939). Over 100 courses are offered and nearly 3,000 students pass through the Center’s doors annually.

As West Palm Beach’s only community art center, the Armory instructs classes in:

  • Ceramics
  • Jewelry
  • Painting
  • Drawing
  • Printmaking
  • Photography
  • Sculpture

Not only does the Center offer annual classes but they also host Master Workshop series when 25 artists from around the country are featured and draws at least 400 participants each season. Youth, too, can get in on the creativity. With a unique Summer Art Camp, kids get a chance to partake it studio art activities from kindergarten through high school.

Get messy, get creative, and get on down to the Armory Art Center for some heart to heart with art.

Palm Beach Attractions – Palm Beach Kennel Club Aug 25

Palm Beach has gone to the dogs.

More literally than figuratively.

But guests of the Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Resort and South Floridians, never fear.

The Palm Beach Kennel Club & Poker Room has a legacy as long as the four-legged friends that frequently appear on the track.

In 1932, the Club brought greyhound racing and pari-mutuel wagering to Palm Beach County on Wednesday, February 17. Packed with people waiting to get their “paws” on bets, 4,000 attended the grand opening of this now premier entertainment complex some 77 years later.

Estimated to have turned 32 million patrons over the years, with wagers well over billions, greyhound racing has become Palm Beach’s #1 spectator sport.

The racing track isn’t the only thing to go barking mad over, either. The Kennel Club also offers a 60-table Poker room with regularly scheduled tournaments, as well as a vast array of dining choices.

As one of the oldest and most competitive racetracks in the country, the Palm Beach Kennel Club is elegant, expansive, and extraordinary. While it’s nothing like a stroll on Clematis, it gives some the same thrill as finding fashion. Fascination comes in all kinds and the Palm Beach Kennel Club is something to see – whether you’re betting on pooches or playing cards.

Palm Beach Things To Do – Art After Dark Jul 30

If you just so happen to be around Clematis Street in Palm Beach on the second Thursday of August, you’ve got a shot at double the fun than normal.

The Norton Museum of Art has been running an Art After Dark program that, conveniently enough, pairs up with Clematis by Night! The joint program is called “Hot Hop” for Palm Beach’s Hop Palm electric cars that’ll take you from the museum down to Centennial Square for further late night festivities.

The Art After Dark program features activities, art (surprise), live music, film screenings and refreshments.

The galleries themselves are open from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. but the various activities they run, as well as the cash bar on site, will stay open until 9:00 p.m. Feel free to sip on something bubbly as you scour busts in sculpture sections, or peruse the paintings lining the walls. If neither are for you, creativity comes in all shapes, sizes and mediums so fear not, you may find your own inspiration!

Though the area is famed for some seriously fancy fashion and being the favorite of many deep-pocketed patrons, the museum’s admission won’t follow the trend.

Admission for adults is $8, 13 to 21 $3, and children under 12? Free, not unlike the concerts that will follow at Centennial Square.

August 13, 2009, themed “Off The Wall” will feature do-it-yourself artistry, a 30-minute gallery tour, Yoga with Therese Abair of Living Fit Today, as well as hip-hop, pop, top hits, and reggae music from DJ Rumble.

Read a detailed schedule here.

And if you get hunger pains, shoot ‘em down with a shot and a taco chaser at Rocco’s Tacos and Tequila, also on Clematis Street.

Palm Beach Attractions – Dolphin World May 22

Ever wanted to be at one with those kooky but graceful little swimmers in the deep?

I sure have and I have to tell you, it’s a one of a kind experience.dolphin world

Guests at the Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Resort are particularly in luck. Dolphin World’s Dolphin Encounter and VIP Monkey/Orangutan Park package includes pick up service! You won’t have to worry about winding and weaving through traffic to get to the park – they’ll get you to where you need to be.

Though there are others, this package is particularly a winner. The focus, naturally, is on your encounter with the dolphins where you’ll be greeted by the chipper swimmer, share some special moves, hugs, smooches and the like but where it would usually stop for others, it won’t for you!

The up close and personal experience continues with encounters with even more quirky characters! You’ll coddle a scaly snuggler, either a snake or other reptile, and even get your hands on a tweeting tropical bird – no, it won’t be Polly and you won’t be the pirate asking him if he wants a cracker; however, do feel free to bring your eye patch. Leave the wooden leg at home, though.

There’s more. Monkey around with an Orangutan, laugh at the lemurs and waddle with those cute little goofs in tuxes, penguins. When you’re done pal-ing around with the animals, you’ll get to watch the show – in fact, a few of them!

The Land Animal, Bird, and Reptile Shows are all included, as well as a Marine Park Tour and a VIP Behind The Scenes Tour. When your day finally comes to a close, you’ll have had lunch (included) and tugged on a free T-shirt to remember your fun in the sun.

P.S. If you book 30 days ahead, you’ll get a free video of your fun with your fuzzy, and scaly friends.

Price and times vary, please verify with Dolphin World prior to booking.
