CHICAGO You can still see polar bears<br />
at the Brookfield Zoo—but in a muchimproved<br />
way: The new Great Bear<br />
Wilderness exhibit boasts an underwater<br />
viewing area where you can watch them<br />
dive into an 80,000 gallon pool. czs.org<br />
ST. AUGUSTINE, FL Renamed Castillo de<br />
San Marcos in 1942, this fort (located 53<br />
miles from Jacksonville) once defended<br />
Florida from pirates. The moat is drained,<br />
but park rangers still give cannon and<br />
musket demonstrations. nps.gov/casa<br />
SAN JUAN, PR The view from “El<br />
Morro” hasn’t changed much in the 70<br />
years since this poster was created. Nor<br />
has the six-level fort, which still abounds<br />
in steep, uneven staircases (so wear<br />
comfy shoes). nps.gov/saju<br />
SEA CLIFF, NY Located on the Long<br />
Island shore, Sea Cliff is just 21 miles<br />
from New York (that’s one long step). It<br />
makes a great day trip for architecture<br />
fans, who fawn over its huge collection<br />
of pre-1900 Victorians. seacliff-ny.gov<br />
