Top Fort Lauderdale Theater Shows

Immerse yourself in a swampland adventure at Sawgrass Recreation Park.

Complete your visit with a wildlife show featuring native species and learn about the park's conservation measures.

Escape to 60 acres of tropical paradise with this admission ticket to Flamingo Gardens Botanical Garden and Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary. The gardens boast more than 3,000 species of rare and exotic, tropical, subtropical and native plants. The arboretum has some of the largest trees in the entire state of Florida. And the wildlife sanctuary is home to native-Florida animals like alligators, bobcats, otters, eagles, panthers, peacocks and, of course, the famous flamingos.

Avoid crowded bars and opt for a more fun way to listen to great music and enjoy your favorite drinks—a cruise that passes through downtown Fort Lauderdale, Port Everglades, and Las Olas Boulevard. No need to worry about expensive bar tabs—you can bring your own drinks and use the cooler boxes on the boat. The afternoon tours stop at the legendary sandbar in front of Millionaire's-mile for a swim, while the evening cruises through downtown and explores the yachts and mansions.

Go for an immersive airboat ride through Everglades National Park—and leave the transit and logistics to someone else—on this half-day tour from Fort Lauderdale. Pick between morning and afternoon tour times, and meet your driver at your hotel. Then, head for the Everglades: upon arrival, transfer to your boat and zip along the waterways, soaking up the unique scenery and looking out for alligators and wildlife as you go.
