Things To Do
East Las Olas Boulevard
This is an outdoor area with great stores, restaurants and live entertainment nightly. We love the food at Louie Bossi and El Camino. You can also catch a water taxi or sunset cruise to explore the riverfront.
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Just steps from both the AC Hotel Fort Lauderdale and the W Fort Lauderdale, the beach is the perfect place to unwind and relax. You could also explore a variety of restaurants or try out beach volleyball, jet skiing, snorkeling, parasailing, fishing, etc. Our personal favorite restaurants to check out are S3 or Takato.
Bonnet House Museum & Gardens
The Bonnet House is a great museum to learn a little more about Florida's history, see some art from Frederic Clay Bartlett, and tour one of the last examples in South Florida of a native barrier island habitat.
Jungle Queen Riverboat
The Jungle Queen is a sightseeing cruise that takes you up the historic New River past waterfront homes, through downtown Fort Lauderdale, and stops at a tropical isle to see exotic birds, monkeys and alligators.
Hugh Taylor Birch State Park
This park is a two-mile loop that's perfect for running, walking, skating or bicycling. You can also rent kayaks or paddle boards to take out on the intracoastal.
