Take your family to the 180-acre Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, to enjoy picnicking and swimming. This well-preserved park, located right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s heart, is even home to a tree that's over 200 years old.
Catch a glimpse of 20,000 live exotic butterflies and some of the world's prettiest bird species at Butterfly World. Learn about the life cycle of these gorgeous winged creatures and, if you’re lucky, a butterfly might just land on you. Additionally, stroll the beautiful gardens while enjoying relaxing music playing in the background.
Fort Lauderdale Beach is the perfect place for a whole day of family fun. Sunbathe on the sandy oceanfront or go swimming in the crystal-clear water. After spending a day making sandcastles with the kids, head to the promenade next to the beach for shopping and dining options.
The Museum of Discovery and Science is dedicated to new findings in the scientific community. However, you’ll get more than just theoretical knowledge over here, as your children can experience hurricane force winds, ride on the Everglades Airboat Adventure, and try their hand digging for fossils near a giant megalodon.
Appreciate an enchanting evening with the entire family aboard the Jungle Queen Riverboat, where you can also get great dinner deals. The delightful cruise on the serene New River will make you feel like you're in a moment frozen in time. You might also catch a glimpse of alligators in their natural habitat!
