Broadway at the Beach Blog

It's that time of year when the hardest decision of the day is what to wear when the temperatures rise and fall on not just a daily basis, but even on an hourly basis. Whether it's cool, crisp mornings, or the warm sun beaming down during our drive home from work, it's safe to say what we wear and even what we do is dependent on the forecast!

So if our day is anything like the meme above, here's how we will not only dress accordingly, but enjoy accordingly at Broadway at the Beach:

Winter Chill: Start out your morning with a hearty and hot breakfast at Paula Deen's Family Kitchen where you can fill up on all your comfort food favorites including pancakes, biscuits and gravy, potatoes, bacon and that all important cup of coffee! It's the type of meal that will warm you up and fill you up all morning long!

Spring Time Temps: It's not chilly, but still not swimsuit weather, but it's the perfect time to do some shopping for your favorites. From the trendy fashions of Gemini Boutique and Bijuju to your surfing favorites at Tsunami Surf Shop and Ron Jon Surf Shop, you can stroll through Broadway and peruse through today's latest and seasonal fashions in the comfortable cool breezes!

Summer Sizzle: The heat of summer making a midday comeback? A milkshake from Johnny Rockets or ice cream from any of our lite bite eateries may make you sweetly enjoy the rising temperatures even more. Not one for sweating while wearing your sweater and leggings? Ripley's Aquarium, WonderWorks and Dave & Buster's will be a great place to beat the heat and enjoy games and indoor experiences.

Fall Is In The Air: Similar to spring, it's that in between season where we find ourselves bundling up in the mornings and taking off the layers by mid-afternoon. This is the perfect time of year to watch football with friends at your favorite restaurant at Broadway, indulge in those pumpkin spice flavors of our ice cream shops and when the temperatures are just right, it's the time to walk around and enjoy a beautiful sunset overlooking Lake Broadway.

So whether the meteorologists are calling for hot, cold or one of those days in between, you can experience and enjoy them all at Broadway at the Beach!

This season, a new exhibition at Broadway at the Beach will go beyond the surface and will take you deeper than just skin deep.

Now through September 29^th, BODIES HUMAN: Anatomy in Motion will be on display in Heroes Harbor. This eye-opening exhibition is comprised of actual real life bodies and organs.

Bodies? Yes. Gruesome? No.

By presenting in an artful, compelling and dignified environment, guests will connect with the human artifacts on a personal level that will help them to better understand their own bodies. The exhibit includes more than 100 specimens including organs and full bodies.

Before this exhibition, one may only be allowed to go "under the skin" to this extent by becoming a doctor or scientist.

How?

The exhibit will showcase specimens preserved through a polymer impregnation process that replaces fluids with polymers that prevent decay and decomposition.

BODIES HUMAN is appropriate for all ages with three supplemental guides available for families, sixth through eighth graders and high school students.

So this summer, you can not only go into the deep blue at Ripley's Aquarium or into the unknown of space at WonderWorks, you can also go further within at the new BODIES HUMAN: Anatomy in Motion at Broadway at the Beach!
