Things To Do
Lakes Park
Huge park with a lake, botanical garden, great playground and train you can ride on with your kids! Where we like to go on dates, and where we got engaged! They have bikes, kayaks, and paddleboats available to rent. Also look for the ice cream shop on the boardwalk! Free admission; $1/hr parking
Manatee Park
December through February is prime manatee season! Visit Manatee Park to see the manatees gathered in the warm waters near the power plant. Look for kayak rentals here or Telegraph Creek for an up-close experience.
Fort Myers Beach
Closest beach to Fort Myers - it suffered a lot of damage from Hurricane Ian, but much is being rebuilt. You can still find restaurants, shops, and activities here like parasailing or jetskiing.
Edison & Ford Winter Estates
A Fort Myers must-do. Combination museum and historical site of Edison and Ford's winter homes. There's lots to see, so make sure you have a couple hours at least.
IMAG History & Science Center
History & Science Center with lots of hands-on exhibits. Kids will love it!
Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center
Art gallery & event space in downtown Fort Myers. Check the website for live music performances, rooftop karaoke, and more!
The Laboratory Theater of Florida
We all love a good community theater.
