Fort Lauderdale Beach
Think of Florida and you’ll immediately imagine the beach, making the wide stretch of sand in Fort Lauderdale one of its premier attractions. Throw everything you’ll need for the day into your rental and head off to find the perfect spot for you. With 20 lifeguard towers staffed every day of the year, it’s safe to swim in the clear blue water.
Bonnet House Museum and Gardens
Dating back to 1920, Bonnet House Museum and Gardens was the winter home of the Birch and Bartlett families. It remains a fascinating place to discover, with a mix of formal gardens, five diverse ecosystems, art and architecture. Peruse the collection of paintings, the personal treasures left behind by the previous occupants and the house itself, which was designed by Frederic Clay Bartlett.
Museum of Discovery and Science
A great day out for all the family, the Museum of Discovery and Science lets the kids interact with dinosaurs and discover real fossils. There’s Harry the Heap, the singing robot, and exhibits that look into hurricanes and how they affect this part of the world. Little ones won’t feel left out either, as the Discovery Center has been created with under-sevens in mind.

Places to visit
Miami
Take the I-95 Express in your car rental from Fort Lauderdale and in just half an hour you’ll find yourself in Miami. Explore South Beach and its iconic art deco buildings, take in the Cuban culture on Calle Ocho in Little Havana or head out on a boat to see the incredible stretch of coastline from a different angle. Finally, load up the car with designer goods from a luxury shopping spree in the Miami Design District, before making your way back to Fort Lauderdale.
Orlando
Just over three hours’ drive away along the I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike sits the tempting destination of Orlando, with its theme parks and museums. With a Fort Lauderdale car rental you can take advantage of the proximity and treat the family to a day of excitement at Universal Studios, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the Magic Kingdom. Before you leave, be sure to take in the impressive collection of Tiffany Glass at the Charles Homer Morse Museum of American Art.
The Everglades
It would be a shame to miss the Everglades while visiting Florida and the national park is situated just under an hour’s drive from Fort Lauderdale via the Ronald Reagan Turnpike. Covering a space of 1.5 million acres, it’s the biggest subtropical wetland in the United States and is home to an impressive array of flora and fauna. Among these are the endangered leatherback turtle, Florida panther and West Indian manatee. For the best chances of catching a glimpse of such species, take an airboat ride through the mangroves.
