Kids events in Boca Raton

Events where the organizer has told us the audience is children — an age range on the listing, or a program run by a venue built for them. Where a session is split by age, each band is listed separately, because "Fossil Hunter (Ages 6–9)" and "Fossil Hunter (Ages 10–12)" are different afternoons at different times.

Two venues do most of the work. The Children’s Science Explorium in Sugar Sand Park runs Early Afternoon Explorers, Science Squad and The Lab through the week, mostly free and mostly needing a booking. Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, on the beach side of the city, runs treks, seining and night hikes that suit older children and often sell out.

Sugar Sand Park itself carries the rest — acting, robotics, tots’ music, cheerleading, holiday camps in every school break. It sits on Military Trail, which puts it within reach of both the city and West Boca, and it is the single most useful address in town for a parent with a free afternoon.

If a class you know about is missing, it probably is not in a public calendar feed. Send it in and a person will read it before it appears.
