Store Your Luggage Around Bradenton With Bounce

Bradenton is a laid-back city on Florida's Gulf Coast with a real family vibe as well as marinas, golf courses, riverwalks, and an unbreakable connection with that strange aquatic creature, the manatee. You'll find its name splashed around the city and if you're lucky, spot one or two swimming upriver. Malls bear its name, the library bears its name, and it's the city emblem. 

Apart from an obsession with manatees, Bradenton is a Florida city with enough cultural activities to keep even the nerdiest of visitors busy. There's art on the sidewalks, in the parks, and in the museums, plus a choice of over a hundred and fifty shops and restaurants to spend your time in. If that's not enough then you're in the wrong city.

You can't snap a photo of a passing manatee floating down the river if you've got your hands full of bags. Do the sensible thing and leave your luggage at a Bounce luggage storage service. Bounce lockers are there to make your life easier so you can capture the moment without having to leave your luggage on the sidewalk while you do it.

Bradenton City Guide

Top Things To Do

You don't need to be visiting Bradenton with kids to enjoy the city to the full as there are more than a few activities for adults only too. The city has around twenty-five important historic sites as well as several great museums and a shopping and dining scene that could rival Manhattan in New York if it got any better. 

Museums

The museums you'll find in Bradenton are not the same as museums in other cities. They have their own character and reflect the fusion of cultures that have played a major role in the city's development. From residential homes that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, to outdoor railroad museums to maritime museums dedicated to the ships and sailors that navigated the seven seas and more, Bradenton has them all.

• Florida Maritime Museum: The Florida Maritime Museum is a huge installation consisting of three individual buildings surrounded by a nature reserve. The museum exhibits just about everything there is connected with boats and life on the water whether it be a river, a lake, or the sea. There are also detailed displays on the hurricanes which have played a big part in Florida's past and wreaked havoc in the state.
• The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature: The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature is the largest museum of its kind in the state of Florida. One of the creatures this museum explores in depth is the manatee, so if you want to learn more about these ugly, but undeniably cute, creatures this is the place to be. As well as endless exhibits of deceased flora and fauna, the museum houses a planetarium and a manatee rehabilitation center.
• Village of the Arts: More like a living museum than a building stuffed full of relics, Bradenton's Village of Arts is a colorful community full of art galleries where you can watch artists work. Take a stroll around to absorb the lively arty atmosphere or browse the paintings and sculptures as they take life before your eyes and you may even be tempted to invest in something which in a hundred years time could be worth a lot of money.

Shopping

Downtown Bradenton is one of the best spots in the city for going shopping although not the only one by any means. There are plenty more locations worth having a wander around where designer name stores rub shoulders with discount outlets, so search hard enough and you never know what bargains you might find.

• Manatee West Shopping Center: No, thankfully you won't find any manatees swimming around in tanks in the Manatee West Shopping Center, although you may come across some manatee-themed gifts or pottery somewhere if you look hard enough. This center is a great place to browse around at a leisurely pace when you haven't got a lot to do one afternoon.
• Bealls: You won't need to go from store to store in Bradenton if you pop into Bealls. This massive department store stocks everything from household goods to furniture to, well, you name it and they've got it stacked away somewhere on the shelves of the various floors. If you're in Bradenton on a rainy day or when it's cold, which is pretty rare in Florida, you may want to consider doing your shopping here.
• Red Barn Plaza Flea Market: Bargain hunting is fun and in Bradenton, there's no better place to do it than at the Red Barn Plaza Flea Market. One person's cast-off is another one's treasure and you'll find plenty of treasures being offered in this eclectic flea market which is super fun to go around even if you don't end up buying anything.

Dining

Without a doubt Bradenton loves its European and American fare, as they are the food types you'll see most commonly on restaurant menus in the city. Greek, Italian, German and Spanish rule the day while spicy or Asian food take a back seat unless you can sniff them out.

• Mean Dean's Local Kitchen: If there's one restaurant you have to eat in while you're in Bradenton it has to be Mean Dean's. Get ready to be served atomic shrimp and gator bites and follow that with blackened alligator chowder and you'll know, without a doubt, you're in Florida.
• Cremesh European Restaurant: Simplicity is the key when it comes to presenting great food and the Cremesh European Restaurant in Bradenton has got that off to a T. They serve traditional European dishes elevated to a new level in surroundings that are coolly sophisticated but comfortable at the same time.
• Restaurant Edelweiss: Go to the Restaurant Edelweiss in Bradenton and you'll be yodeling their praises louder than Chistopher Plummer singing Edelweiss in the vintage film Sound of Music. They serve a varied selection of super German food that’s great washed down with a tankard of cold craft beer.
