Located only minutes from vibrant Sarasota and about an hour from bustling Tampa, IMG Academy sits within a short drive of several of Florida’s top attractions such as:
- Unspoiled beaches, such as the famous white sand at Siesta Key
- Distinctive restaurants, diverse shopping options and multi-cultural events in Bradenton, Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tampa
- Adventure Island, Busch Gardens and the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa

You can also head down to St. Armand’s Circle (about a 15-20 minute drive) for shopping and dining. This is a great area to take the family for the day and explore the area.
From there, you can drive down to Siesta Key and visit this world-famous beach. We also have many local beaches where you can spend time soaking in the sun and enjoying the Florida weather!
For more information on things to do locally visit the Bradenton Visitors Bureau and the Sarasota Visitors Bureau.
If you have more time on your hands, you can venture to Tampa (approximately a one hour drive) or Orlando (approximately a two hour drive). In Tampa you will find theme parks like Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, you can go to the Lowry Park Zoo, or check out the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Orlando offers you a chance to visit Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Wet ‘n Wild, and much more!
