Visiting Fort Lauderdale Beyond the Beach

When most people think of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they think about cruising and the beach. While these certainly are a part of the overall vibe of Fort Lauderdale, there is so much more to a visit there than just the beach. 

For more than 20 years, Broward Center for the Performing Arts has been bringing the arts to residents and visitors. Concerts of all sorts are offered. Make it an entire evening by booking dinner at Serenade, the upscale dining venue at the Center.

The Parker Playhouse is part of the Broward Performing Arts Center and has a 40 plus year history of providing a great venue for smaller productions. The Playhouse seats slightly more than 1,100 patrons.

Fort Lauderdale has a unique Antique Car Museum. It is dedicated to the Packard and has 22 of them that date from 1909 through 1947. In addition, there are other items collected by Arthur O. Stone.

From the IMAX Theatre to the child-friendly exhibits, the  Museum of Discovery and Science is a place the entire family can and will enjoy. A newer permanent exhibit about the human body adds a new dimension to the already jam-packed museum.

Every visitor to Fort Lauderdale should take a tour and what could be more fun than a paddle boat. The Jungle Queen offers three-hour sightseeing of the New River. It also offers a BBQ dinner at 6 p.m. in the evening. Dine on chicken, BBQ ribs and shrimp while enjoying a comedy revue. The boat provides a delicious and memorable evening’s entertainment.
