Top 4 Fort Lauderdale Attractions for Family Fun

Butterfly

Fort Lauderdale is more than just a world-famous Spring Break destination; the city also boasts a wide variety of family-friendly attractions for all ages. If you’re visiting Fort Lauderdale as a family, check out these four fun destinations:

Museum of Discovery and Science

Two floors of interactive exhibits await at this museum, which is home to the world’s largest captive Atlantic coral reef. Also on display are bats, lizards, snakes, and even pet alligators. Enjoy a ride on an Everglades airboat, then head to the on-site AutoNation Imax 3D Theater for an exciting cinematic experience. Before you leave, stop by the Explore Store for souvenirs, games, books, and gifts.

Bluefoot Pirate Adventures

Take off in search of pirate treasure on this pirate-themed family cruise. Children and adults can enjoy this scenic 60-minute jaunt down the Fort Lauderdale Waterway, which includes a treasure hunt (and pirate booty!) as part of the experience. Adults can enjoy the beautiful Florida landscape while kids are entertained by activities like face painting and water cannon battles.

Funderdome Indoor Playground and Cafe

Part playground, part cafe — Funderdome offers something for everyone! Children between the ages of six months and thirteen years are invited to lose their shoes and enjoy attractions like the Sky Trail Ropes Course and the Space Quadrant Laser Maze. There’s also a toddler zone for kids 3 years and under and an arcade for guests of all ages. On the menu are family favorites like pizza, burgers, chicken strips, and salads.

Butterfly World

Located only 15 miles outside Fort Lauderdale (and definitely worth the short drive) is Butterfly World. The whole family will be spellbound by the butterfly-filled botanical garden, which is home to thousands of butterflies from five continents. Stroll through the beautiful Hanging Garden and Butterfly Emerging Area, where you can view new butterflies emerging from their cocoons. Stop by the Lakeside Cafe to grab a bite, then hit the sanctuary’s beautiful rose garden and Lorikeet Encounter Area.
