The South Beach Wine and Food Festival is Feb. 23-26, 2012 and one event in particular is aimed specifically at families: the Fun & Fit as a Family event at Jungle Island.

Tickets are only $20 and going fast and that’s because it’s the most fun you can have teaching your kids about healthy lifestyle options. The event will feature Kellogg's Kidz Kitchen and uses an interactive approach to "show families that through daily exercise and healthy food choices, they can improve the qualities of their lives and have fun in the process."

As you walk around Jungle Island, you’ll find five major destinations of activity:

• Destination Garden - Learn how food goes from the ground to your table.
• Destination Food - Sample healthy snacks and drinks.
• Destination Fitness - Work up a sweat! Run an obstacle course then learn to check your heart rate and see how many calories you’re burning.
• Destination Discover - Learn how to make delicious, healthy meals from favorite local chefs.
• Kellogg’s Kidz Kitchen - See celebrity chefs like Guy, Rachel and Robert. They’ll show you how to make heart healthy meals.

So, let’s recap: delicious and healthy food, hands-on fun in the kitchen, fascinating animal exhibits, celebrity chefs and $20 tickets. You just have to decide whether to go Saturday, Feb. 25 or Sunday, Feb. 26.
