This theater has several concerts during the school year. We went to a Latin Salsa and Jazz program…read moreand it was really nice. Students from FAU performed for a good size audience and the event encouraged people to dance right in front of the stage, making the evening very fun and lively. It's located "on the hill" near the visual arts center and the Arts Complex. As you walk in there is a desk for tickets, will call or information. We got our tickets online, so we just showed our QR code at the entrance of the auditorium and got seated. It's a large size theater venue with great acoustics and comfortable seating. We parked for free in Parking Garage 2, which is only a block away.

St. Ambrose Carnival is the annual fund raising event for the St. Ambrose Catholic Church school in…read moreDeerfield Beach. This year was the 23rd year of the event. It is an extremely popular event in the community running from February 28th to March 3rd. The sell advance discount tickets up until February 27th. Rides are by Hildebrand Rides. The day of the carnival unlimited ride wristbandswere were sold for $30. It could get quite expensive especially if you have more than one child. They had a few rides for the small fry set. The other rides were the fast spinning, turn you upside down, and make you want to toss your cookies kind. Not my thing. The event has a wide variety of foods. Sausages, burgers, philly cheese steaks, pizza, and spaghetti are some of the entree items. They also had funnel cake and baked goods for dessert. Food tickets are $1.50 per ticket. Two burgers, a shared fries, and two soft drinks came to $21.00. Alcohol is a big thing here which I always find surprising since it's a church event. There is a full bar serving beer and mixed cocktails. They also offer bottles of alcohol in their spin the wheel booth. Other games of chance include raffles and bingo. The carnival has games as well. Live entertainment is on stage throughout the carnival. Acts are from the country, pop, and rock genres. On the Friday night I attended it was the Jack Flash classic rock band and the Emily Brooke band. Admission to the concerts is free. I used to bring my daughter and her friends to enjoy the rides when she was younger. Now she lives in Orlando and is a Universal pass holder. Now I mainly come to visit my friend who volunteers and to get dinner. The bands were entertaining this year and even though I don't go on the rides it's still fun to see them. The best part of the carnival is running into friends in the community.

I don't have children but I enjoy the happy carnival atmosphere. I don't know how the organizers manage to do this but the noise factor from the carnival is basically non-existent. As I mentioned earlier I live across the street and hear nothing when I leave the school grounds. Well done St. Ambrose!

2025 Geekfest. I went and had a blast. The map showed where everything was and what was included…read more Some of the bad reviews I've read I believe come from disappointed vendors. There were quite a few that were charging way more than their competitors and I'm sure lost sales over it. Also only about a little over half of them brought their A game. Too much 3d printing . Zero creativity. But mixed among them were truely talented artists and creators. We had a great time and will be back next year.

Nice little comic-con... Room for improvement…read more This is the 4th year for Geekfest. They have been in the same location since its inception. Once a year the Grand Palm Room of Florida Atlantic University turns into a haven for Geeks of all manner. If your poison of choice is comics, they got 'em. Into video games? There are some set up to play and tons of game related merchandise to buy. Like Anime? It's everywhere! The admission is $11.00 to get in. Which is great for a con. If you happened to have yourself some BelleChere Bucks (this year's headlining cosplay guest) that price dropped down to $10.00. FAU student? Free. Doesn't get better than that. Your admission band also qualifies you for the all you can eat $7.50 buffet at the FAU dinning hall. The Food selection was incredible. The quality was highly edible. You certainly knew you weren't in a 4 star restaurant, but for college food? It was pretty damn good. Would have made my college cafeteria jealous. The booths and vendors were all very nice and had plenty of product on hand. There were events and raffles and cosplay contests throughout the 3 day fest. Things were very low-key and relaxed. Walking down the halls you could find the likes of Shredder and Blackcat strolling and reclining on chairs lining the hallways. You could see the King and Queen with their Raptor Birds of Prey. They even pulled out the cutest little owls which watched all the action with their giant eyes. If there was one downside to the con it would be the venue itself. I would say that Geekfest might have outgrown the comfy confides of The Grand Palm. The layout is a little disjointed at this point. There are rooms downstairs and more rooms upstairs. Like the roads of Boston, you have to know where you are going... and how to get there. We couldn't find one hall so we missed the Black Butler Drag show and Starlord Dance Off. The upstairs was not really staffed so it was just large college classrooms from end to end. We looked into some of the rooms but didn't find anyone in drag! Part of what makes Geekfest so comfortable and accessible (and cheap!) is the scale of the show. However, in order for it to get to the next level, if that is even the desire, the prompters have to transplant it to a larger more capable location. With that accomplished they would be better able to attract more people and guests. The event would run smoother and they would be able to host and do more. Hopefully this is the small con that can.

Located at the end of Sample Road on the edge of the Everglades this massive 180 acre park is the…read morebest in Coral Springs. Located in the park is the Coral Springs Aquatic Complex which has 4 swimming pools, a kiddie water playground, swim shop, 9, 7.5 and 10-Meter dive platforms and fitness center. Classes and clubs meet here and the pool can be rented for private events. Olympic gold medalist, Dara Torres trained here. Also in the park is the award winning Tennis Center of Coral Springs which has 12 green har-tru courts. Membership is required to play here and participate in the programs and camps. My favorite part of the park is the Sawgrass Nature Center & Wildlife Hospital, a not-for-profit organization that rescues injured or orphaned wildlife. they provide the public with education about South Florida's wildlife and environment while rescuing and rehabilitating over 700 animals a year. They offer a a yearly Earth Day festival, summer wildlife camp, and programs for school groups. The Dr. Steven G. Paul Dog Park was built in honor of Dr. Steven G. Paul who dedicated his life to animals and creating this park for the community. Dr. Paul was a veterinary graduate of Ohio State University. He ran two veterinary hospitals and gave public lectures on pet care, wrote newspaper and magazine columns, and appeared on local television to give pet tips. Dr. Paul attended veterinary conference in Massachusetts in 1992 and saw a dog park in Boston Commons. He loved the idea of dogs playing freely and decided to bring the idea back to South Florida. The dog park was built in the mids 90's in the Coral Springs Sportsplex. New agility equipment and water stations have been added for the dogs and there are benches and shade areas for the people. The Florida Panthers Ice Den where the NHL Panther practice and the public can ice skate. They have a pro shop and ice hockey leagues and figure skating practice. The Coral Springs Sportsplex Park also has the Rotary Community Garden, picnic tables, public art, sports fields, a playground, and a walking/jogging trail. I have been here many times through the years to bring injured wildlife to the Sawgrass Nature Hospital, to take my daughter ice skating, with camp groups to use the pool, and with my Jack Russell Sunny to play at the dog park. I have a lot of great memories here. I can't think of another park in the area that has so much to appeal to so many.

Definitely a great place to watch your kids play sports. It's not huge, but there is a full size…read morefootball field which they divide into sections for the littles to play their various sports. There is one baseball field and 2 dug outs. The only benches are at the baseball field. Also Bball courts! There is a snack bar area but I've never seen it open. They have restrooms though! Bring your own chair if you want to sit next to the field, or there is a Pavilion near all of the fields that is covered and has benches. I like that there is a play area for the kids. It's next to the pavilion so you can still watch your kid play on the field while your other is playing in the park area. - Except for baseball. Baseball is a little too separated to watch kid play baseball and other kid play at the park. It's near a nature center and right off the sawgrass. I definitely wouldn't shy away from participating in an event here or renting the pavilion for a bday party. 2 places to park! I like to park at the dog park, but there is dedicated parking for the sportsplex. I like the dog park is across the street and you enter the park almost in the middle vs parking waaaaay down at the end in the parking lot.

The 2,900 seat arena opened in 1984 for division 1 women's basketball and in 1988 it started hosting men's basketball and volleyball games. In 2007 the arena received a 10 million dollar renovation which included a new roof, renovated locker rooms, upgraded exterior, renovated lobby, chair back seating, and a video scoreboard. In the summer of 2008 club suites were added. In November of 2022, Eleanor R. Baldwin made a $7.5 million donation to Florida Atlantic University Athletics. In honor of the gift, the FAU Arena became known as the Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena. I came here for FAU Education Day. School groups were able to come and watch a women's basketball game between FAU and FIU. In between quarters there was Owlsley, the FAU mascot, dancers, cheerleaders, t-shirt giveaways, and a balancing act. The FAU Owls fought hard but were ultimately overcome by FIU by two points. This was a really fun event and the stadium was clean and comfortable. I would definitely come back for future games.
