One of the top attractions in the area is the Edison and Ford Museum. Enjoy the large campus, beautiful gardens, and historic homes on the self-guided tour.
You wont be able to miss this if you try. A block from The Luminary, ArtFest is Southwest Florida's premier Art Festival. The free festival is open to all ages and will feature pieces by over 150 local artists. Here's a map of the booths: https://www.zapplication.org/fair_area_maps/9377.jpeg
If you have an extra day, we recommend checking out Sanibel and Captiva Island. About a 45 minute drive or uber from the hotel is a beautiful island with miles of beaches and bike paths. We recommend going there for the day, renting bikes, and biking through the Ding Darling Wildlife Preserve, or just having a beach day. With many shops, local restaurants, and even a Farmers Market on Sunday, it is a perfect way to spend a day in Southwest Florida.
Hop on the free Trolley around the River District in Downtown Fort Myers. Here's the full list of stops or simply wave down the trolley anywhere between Lee St and Monroe Street: https://www.leegov.com/leetran/PublishingImages/RiverDistrictTrolleyGuide.pdf
