Fort Lauderdale is a beautiful city unlike any other. The people are just as warm as the summer days and filled with the same passion for life and fun as you will discover in hundreds of attractions and activities in this city. When in Fort Lauderdale, ensure you have ample time to get around and enjoy some of the amazing places found.
The Anne Kolb Nature Center is a wonderful option. This center is located on more than 1,400 acres of wonderful wetland. In this area, wading birds and many forms of native wildlife can be seen up close. For the angler, there is an Intracoastal fishing pier and an exhibit hall for those environmentally conscious. As a special treat, the second Thursday of every month a literary coffeehouse called Mangrove Cafe is opened from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood is another wonderful option for your visit. This center is open all year long and rotates exhibitions in and out to keep the interest of the public. On Sundays, you will enjoy classical and jazz concerts, as well as art workshops, special classes and events geared for children, and educational historical and cultural exhibits.
The Bonnet House is located on 35 acres of sub-tropical seaside property in a charming estate build by the Bartlett family. The architecture is enchanting and the scenery breath-taking.
To continue with the historical theme, the Broward County Historical Commission offers on display photographs and artifacts from Broward County's past years. On occasion, you will have the chance to see something extra special on display, but whatever they are highlighting at the time of your stay, you will find interesting.
While you will probably spend most of your time outdoors in the sun or at the beach, if you love literature, the Fort Lauderdale Library is truly unique. This eight-story building not only houses research and reference material but also a 300-seat theater, cultural information center, and the Charcuterie Restaurant as well as the First Moon Cafe. If you need to prepare for or conduct meetings, several meeting rooms are quite accommodating.
Finally, for a memorable and educational experience, take some time out of your busy schedule to visit Buehler Planetarium. Located on the Broward Community College Central Campus, this innovate facility is the home to magnificent laser light shows.
You will also have a chance to learn more about astronomy and space exploration. For the evening shows, several telescopes are available as well. As you can see, the city of Fort Lauderdale is filled with so many things to do. Once you have visited this fine city, you may never want to leave.
