Fun family, greek, and more!
Great Greek Food and fun local neighborhood with a real Florida feel. Excellent place to sit and eat lunch on the river. They also have a lovely small aquarium and kid play area, ice cream shop, and all easily walkable in an afternoon!

My favorite zoo, and one of the nicest local family activities.
One of the best zoos in america - family friendly and can be walked in less than a day and see everything. They do a great job caring for their animals, and the food is decent, and kids even have a place to play in water. Is a super family park.

Food scene
Small, Local favorite - pressed cuban sandwiches are the BEST in town. All sandwiches, salads are super fresh and delicious. Eat outside on rustic picnic tables with the locals in rural Odessa.
