Attractions in Fort Lauderdale

Anne Kolb Nature Trail

This is a great nature trail. 20 acres of coastal mangrove ensure that your nature trail is through dense mangrove forest with the opportunity to look above and beyond from the 68 feet high observation tower.

Bonnet House Museum and Gardens

Bonnet House was designed as a seaside retreat without the opulence of the Palm Beach mansions. Instead it was designed on Frederic Bartlett's vision of a Caribbean plantation. Hurricanes Wilma and Katrina caused some damage in 2005 and restoration work is underway to restore the grounds original looks and feel.

Buehler Planetarium & Observatory

Fort Lauderdale attractions also cater for those who have sci-fi in your blood. The Buehler Planetarium has up to date sound and vision equipment to ensure you enjoy your journey across the universe at one of their presentations.

Carrie B Cruises

How can you possibly be at a place long known as the Venice of America and not go on a fantastic sightseeing cruise to see Fort Lauderdale in all its glory? Carrie B Cruises take you on some great trips along Tarpon River past some stunning mansions and eventually past the hundreds of yachts docked near 17th Street.

Discovery Cruise Line

One of the attractions in Fort Lauderdale is the Discovery Cruise to the Bahamas. Whilst this ship has received mixed reviews over the years I doubt you will find a cheaper way to travel to the Bahamas provided you're happy with the 5 hour journey and everyone seems very happy with the price.

Everglades Holiday Park

If you fancy seeing The Everglades close up and want to see wildlife in their natural habitat the an airboat ride through The Everglades could be what you're looking for. The boat ride takes you out into the natural habitat and the guides will try to find you the animals in their natural habitat.

Fort Lauderdale Beachfront

This beach is long, wide and stunning. One of the cleanest beaches you will see and clear waters with very little wave which is great for snorkeling. The beach is very accessible along its full length and makes a great family beach and a place to chill out.

Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum

A Ft Lauderdale attractions includes a unique collection of antique cars in pristine condition. Have a close look at the class of the cars an image driving one in a bygone era. The work is the vision of Arthur Stone and all the cars and memorabilia are lovingly cared for. A stunning collection.

Heliflite

Fancy seeing Fort Lauderdale from the air or perhaps you fancy a quick trip down to Key West. A fun opportunity to fly in one of the helicopters and get a bird's eye view of Florida.

Las Olas Boulevard

A great place to go for a walk and see how those with money spend it! Expensive shops, great restaurants and cafes make this a good place to window shop and take in a coffee or two.

Museum of Discovery and Science & IMAX 3D Theater

Do you want to see a dinosaur in 3D then the IMAX 3D Theater is the place for you. This is not a large venue but has interesting items for the children but the theater is something else and well worth the visit.
