During your Fort Lauderdale vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale
A fantastic modern-art facility, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale features permanent collections including those from William Glackens; the CoBrA Movement in Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam with over 200 paintings; 50 sculptures; 1,200 works on paper from 1948 to 1951, including the largest repository of Asger Jorn graphics outside the Silkeborg Kunstmuseum in Denmark; stunning Picasso ceramics; and contemporary works from over 90 Cuban artists in exile around the world. Traveling exhibits and continuing art classes make the museum a great place to spend a rainy day.
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.
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.
Banyan Marina Resort
These fabulous waterfront apartments, located on a beautifully landscaped residential island, may have you vowing never to stay in a hotel again. They're intimate, charming, and reasonably priced. Built around a stunning 75-year-old banyan tree, the Banyan Marina Resort is situated directly on the active canals halfway between Fort Lauderdale's downtown and the beach. When available, you'll choose between one- and two-bedroom apartments, which have been recently renovated. All are comfortable and spacious, with French doors, full kitchens, and living rooms. The best part of staying here, besides your gracious and knowledgeable hosts, Dagmar and Peter Neufeldt, is that the convenient water taxi will find you here and take you anywhere you want to go, day or night. There is a small outdoor heated pool and a marina for those with boats in tow. Since 1998, the Neufeldts have been honored by a local area-enhancing campaign, Broward Beautiful, winning first place for the past 3 years in a row in the category of small multi-family dwellings.
Courtyard Villa on the Ocean
Nestled between a bunch of larger hotels, this small, historic hotel offers a romantic getaway right on the beach. A remodeling and redecorating included the addition of 18th- and 19th-century antique reproduction furnishings to this charmed setting. Courtyard Villa offers spacious oceanfront efficiencies with private balconies, larger suites overlooking the pool, and full two-bedroom apartments. Accommodations are plush, with chenille bedspreads and carved four-poster beds; fully equipped kitchenettes are an added convenience. The tiled bathrooms have strong, hot showers to wash off the beach sand. Room no. 8 is especially nice, with French doors that open to a private balcony overlooking the ocean. Relax in the hotel's unique heated pool/spa or on the second-floor sun deck. You can also swim from the beach to a living reef just 50 feet offshore. Scuba-diving instruction is available on the premises.
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.
