The canals have a beautiful walking path (no bikers, please) right on the water. The walk is picturesque, with large bridges between canals reminiscent of Venice's namesake in Italy. The canals are a great way to take advantage of a sunny day by the water, especially if you feel like steering clear of sand.

The museum is fascinating, and almost forces its visitors into a full sensory experience. Some pieces are constructed around the form of the room while others demand attention in the center, making the space feel alive in its constantly surprising progression. There is so much color around each corner that even children will enjoy the views.

The tree isn't always lit, but when you catch it at a time it is, there's something kind of magical about it. Its a relatively simple concept, and that is what makes it beautiful. Even if you can only make it over during the day, it's certainly a sight to beheld.
