Things to Do

What to do in and around Wellington

Horse shows may be the headline, but Wellington also offers parks, recreation, shopping and convenient access to the rest of Palm Beach County.

See an equestrian event

Start with Wellington International during the winter season. Even visitors who do not follow equestrian sport may enjoy seeing high-level show jumping in the setting that made Wellington famous.

Explore local parks

The Village of Wellington maintains numerous parks and recreation facilities, ranging from neighborhood green spaces to athletic complexes and the Wellington Aquatics Center.

Shop in Wellington

The State Road 7 and Forest Hill Boulevard corridors contain much of the area's major retail activity. The Mall at Wellington Green remains one of the community's best-known shopping destinations.

Make it a Palm Beach County day

Drive east for downtown West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, museums, dining and Atlantic beaches. Wellington works well as an inland base for exploring the broader county.

Seasonal tip

Winter feels different in Wellington

From roughly January through March, equestrian events bring added activity to the community. Restaurants, roads and the showgrounds can be busier, especially around major competitions. If a particular event is the reason for your visit, confirm the current schedule before you go.
