As far as what to see or do, whew! That's a long list. If you can search this website for posts on lifestyle visits, you'll get a lot of suggestions.

But a simple list would be:

Take a trolley tour.

If you have a rental car and/or cart, just drive around the different neighborhoods to see villas, cottages, designers and premier areas, but make sure you have the latest Villages map. If one is not provided, you can buy one at the sales office when you check in. It can get confusing without one.

Visit the town squares at night, especially during vendor nights, to hear the music and see the sights.

Check out the rec centers and see the facilities there.

Talk to residents when you meet them anywhere. We love to talk about this place, both good and bad (but mostly good!!). Despite a few curmudgeons, we are a friendly community.
