During your Fort Lauderdale vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Museum of Discovery & Science
This museum's high-tech, interactive approach to education proves that science can equal fun. Adults won't feel as if they're in a kiddie museum, either. During the week, school groups meander through the cavernous two-story modern building. Kids 7 and under enjoy navigating their way through the excellent explorations in the Discovery Center. Florida Ecoscapes is particularly interesting, with a living coral reef, bees, bats, frogs, turtles, and alligators. Most weekend nights, you'll find a diverse crowd ranging from hip high-school kids to 30-somethings enjoying a rock film in the IMAX theater, which also shows short science-related films daily. Out front in the atrium, see the 52-foot-tall Great Gravity Clock, the largest kinetic-energy sculpture in the state. Call for details on changing exhibits.
Billie Swamp Safari
Billie Swamp Safari is an up-close-and-personal view of the Seminole Indians' 2,200-acre Big Cypress Reservation. There are daily tours into reservation wetlands, hardwood hammocks, and areas where wildlife (seemingly strategically placed deer, water buffalo, bison, wild hogs, ornery ostriches, rare birds, and alligators) reside. Tours are provided aboard swamp buggies, customized motorized vehicles specially designed to provide visitors with an elevated view of the frontier while you comfortably ride through the wetlands and cypress heads. The more adventurous may want to take a fast-moving airboat ride or trek a nature trail. Airboat rides run about 20 minutes, while swamp-buggy tours last about an hour. A stop at an alligator farm reeks of Disney, but the kids won't care. You can stay overnight in a native Tiki hut if you're really looking to immerse yourself in the culture.
Bonnet House
This historic 35-acre plantation home and estate, accessible by guided tour only, will provide you with a fantastic glimpse of Old Florida. Built in 1921, the sprawling two-story waterfront home (surrounded by formal tropical gardens) is really the backdrop of a love story, which the very chatty volunteer guides will share with you if you ask. Some have actually lunched with the former resident of the house, the late Evelyn Bartlett, wife of world-acclaimed artist Frederic Clay Bartlett. The worthwhile 1 1/4-hour tour brings you quirky people, whimsical artwork, lush grounds, and interesting design. Inquire about the literary walks and science workshops, which are offered regularly on the grounds.
The Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa
In its day, the Hollywood Diplomat was a swanky affair, an oceanfront playground tending to a host of celebs that included Sinatra and Co. The new Diplomat, which opened in 2002, was built on the site of the original to the tune of $600 million. It's now a 1,060-room, full-service beach resort loaded with amenities. The main building is a 39-story oceanfront tower (with adjacent conference center) surrounded by 8 acres of man-made lakes. A gorgeous bridged, glass-bottomed swimming pool with cascading waterfalls, private cabanas, and a slew of watersports and activities adds a tropical touch. Rooms are a cross between those in a subtle boutique hotel and those in an Art Deco throwback, with dark woods, hand-cut marble and, most impressive, the 10-layer Heavenly Bed, a Westin trademark, with custom-designed pillow-top mattresses and very cushy down blankets (crank up the air-conditioning!).Dining options are resortlike in quantity and quality. The fine-dining steakhouse looks very elegant, and several more casual options are available. A South Beach-style nightclub, Satine, is also on-site -- convenient, considering there is no nightlife in the surrounding area unless you go north to downtown Hollywood or south to South Beach. At press time, construction on Diplomat Landing, the hotel's shopping-and-entertainment complex across the street, was ongoing, but a few places were already open -- such as Nikki Marina, an offshoot of South Beach's St. Tropez-ish Nikki Beach Club.The Diplomat's Country Club and Spa is modeled after an Italian villa, with 60 luxurious guest rooms, yacht slips, a 155-acre golf course, and a world-class spa and tennis club. The 30,000-square-foot spa has 17 treatment rooms, a spa pool, a spa menu, and an extensive selection of treatments.
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
Welcome to Casino City -- Florida. That's right, the Seminole Indians have managed to create a miniature Vegas within Hollywood, Florida, and it's doing a booming business. Although the massive 130,000-square-foot casino doesn't have typical bet-against-the-house Vegas games (such as blackjack, roulette, or craps), it does have thousands of video slot machines and poker tables, and they're always packed. The main draw here is the casino, but the guest rooms are surprisingly cushy and swank, with flatscreen TVs, Egyptian-cotton linens, and big bathrooms with massive showerheads; the suites are hyper-luxurious. Equally impressive is the 4.5-acre lagoon-style pool very similar to the one at the Hard Rock in Vegas, with waterfalls, hot tubs, wireless access for those who insist on working and, of course, a bar. In fact, there are lots of bars here, especially at the attached entertainment complex with two clubs open 24/7 as well as restaurants and stores. The food court within the casino isn't a bad choice for a quick bite, or you can choose from several on-site, full-service restaurants, including a swanky steakhouse. The 22,000-square-foot spa isn't too shabby either. If you're seeking real Sin City action, you may be disappointed; but if you find yourself looking for a little more bling than what you'd typically find on South Beach, the Hard Rock's where it's at.
Fort Lauderdale Beach Hostel
For the young, or for backpackers on a budget, this hostel is a great option, with both dorm beds and private rooms at bargain-basement prices. Clean and conveniently located, the hostel is just 654 feet from the ocean. It features free parking, free phones, free self-cook food, free breakfast buffet and, if you're lucky, free use of the surfboards or in-line skates lying around.
