If you are planning your family vacation in Fort Lauderdale, be sure to have a lot of time and comfortable shoes. There is so much to see in this fine city and so many places all within walking distance that you will truly be amazed. If going as a couple, you will discover some of life's simplistic yet exciting things and if going as a family, the kids will have an opportunity to become educated about the history of Fort Lauderdale. No matter what your age, you will enjoy discovering all the fascinating things this city has to offer.A remarkable outing is Butterfly World. Have you ever seen a beautifully colored butterfly land on a plant? You watch quietly as the butterfly gracefully flaps its wings back and forth. Then, you decide to sneak up on the butterfly in hopes of getting a better view, or even getting to touch it. However, before you get too close, the butterfly scurries away. At Fort Lauderdale's Butterfly World, you will get to see and touch butterflies. Instead of flying from you, they will gently rest on your shoulders. Both kids and adults will be mesmerized by the thousands of vibrant creatures. The entire experience is amazing. Butterfly World is designed as a tropical rainforest, where you can enjoy the many acres property with waterfalls, tropical birds, gorgeous flowers and vegetation, and butterflies.
While in Fort Lauderdale, this world-renowned landmark is something you cannot afford to miss. Your kids will talk about this experience for many years to come. Another place to visit that is sure to leave a lasting memory is Billie Swamp Safari. With the Seminole Indian being the first inhabitants of Fort Lauderdale, here you will get an up-close look at Big Cypress, the 2,200-acre reservation where they lived. Daily tours will take you into the wetlands where wildlife such as bison, deer, ostriches, alligators, and others live.
To give visitors the best view possible, special customized swamp buggies are used. This allows people to see over the frontier while having a comfortable ride through the wetlands. If you prefer, you can book an airboat or even trek through on special trails.Both options are extremely reasonably priced. The buggies run for approximately one hour, while the airboat is much quicker, providing a 20-minute tour. If you want to enhance your experience even more, you can choose an overnight stay in a real Tiki hut. These are two adventures that the entire family will love experiencing together.
