Top Fort Lauderdale Family-friendly Shows

Harken back to yesteryear on a fun Fort Lauderdale sightseeing cruise aboard the Carrie B paddlewheeler. Sail past yachts, mansions, and cruise ships along the New River, Intracoastal Waterway, and Port Everglades. Spend time on the open sun deck, sit outside under a canopy, or in air-conditioned comfort on the main deck. The captain narrates the tour and a full-service bar and light snacks are available to purchase.

Immerse yourself in a swampland adventure at Sawgrass Recreation Park. Glide across the river on an airboat tour, spotting alligators, turtles, and a variety of birds that are only found in this region. Complete your visit with a wildlife show featuring native species and learn about the park's conservation measures.

Cruise down the waterways of Fort Lauderdale on a mini powerboat and enjoy a relaxing time on the water.
