There are many parks, to really make you enjoy the outside nature. Along with many other activities to do like, Astro Skate and Fun Center, Hunsader Farms, McKechnie Field, Rosa Fiorelli Winery & Vineyard, Hi-Tech Paintball Inc. you should never run out of something to do. With a huge variety of activities and things to choose from, it makes the experience of Bradenton even more exciting for not just kids but parents too. The night life is full of life but more quiet then some areas. Bradenton can be pricey at times, but certainly affordable. Driving through the streets of Bradenton are beautiful. Traffic is heavy at times, but never constant. For the most part and what I have experienced its safe, but there's a few areas that are not so nice to hang around, especially at night. Other then that i cant really say anything else bad. Overall view of things I would say that Bradenton is an amazing place to live and there is just no place like it. Read Less
