Immerse Yourself in the Marine Life in Fort Lauderdale
Anne Kolb Nature Center Exhibit Hall
Do you want to experience a Fort Lauderdale aquarium in the heart of a natural Florida mangrove? If so, the Anne Kolb Nature Center is the perfect choice for an afternoon of fun and adventure. In addition to the Exhibit Hall’s interactive displays and hands-on fish, reptile, and amphibian encounters, there is also a local mangrove to go exploring afterwards.
The Museum of Science and Discovery
The Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale is a museum and an aquarium, all in one! Visitors to the Florida Ecoscapes section may observe playful otters and view a tank filled with different sea animals. In this section, kids and adults alike learn about unique environments, gaining important environmental knowledge as they do so. The museum’s exhibits are said to be one of the most enjoyable things to do with children.
Miami Seaquarium
Although not in Fort Lauderdale, a drive down south to Miami will bring you down to South Florida’s best aquarium. There are marine shows that feature dolphins and sea lions and highly rated sea exhibits with animals like manatees, penguins, rays, and others. There is even an opportunity to get in the water and interact with the dolphins for the afternoon. The Miami Seaquarium is definitely worth a visit if you want the ultimate sea life experience.

A true local to South Florida, I was born and raised right here in Broward County. As an avid traveler, I have always loved staying in AirBNBs because it allowed me to have a more authentic experience of the city I was exploring. When presented with the opportunity to become a host in my hometown I was thrilled to bring that same experience to people visiting South Florida.
