Tuskawilla Park

Tuskawilla Park is small, but it is full of small wonders. A pleasant birding area, it is right smack in the heart of Daytona Beach, off Nova Road at Orange Avenue.

Even with the hum of traffic nearby, this is a place to be on the lookout for a Barred Owl! The open coastal hammock terrain attracts many birds and it is inviting to weary migrants. And the neighbors are excellent. The Museum of Arts & Sciences is adjacent to the park on Museum Avenue and well worth a visit.

The Museum features the skeleton of a giant ground sloth excavated in the area - the finest yet found in North America. Other permanent exhibits include a collection of 17-19th century American furniture and decorative arts, and Cuban history and local history exhibits. Other offerings include special exhibits and a gift shop. For information, call the Museum at (904) 255-0285.
