Fort Lauderdale - Venice of America

Feel like a millionaire as you sail along Ft. Lauderdale's wet streets. Ride the Water Taxi from 10:30 am until midnight for only $10. You can get on and off the boat as often as you like at 11 convenient stops all day and night long. Stop for a leisurely meal or a drink or to shop on Las Olas the fashion center of Ft. Lauderdale and get back onto to the taxi to relax or to go on to your next stop. My favorite time to sail is during the Christmas Holidays when you pass all the brightly lit homes along the river.

Llooking for a nice cool place to enjoy a Ft. Lauderdale afternon then The Museum of Discovery and Science is a great place to visit with or without the kids. The "Living in the Everglades" exhibit allows you to view the heart of Florida. Kids under 7 will love the Discovery Center. Everyone will want to take a Simulated Trip to the Moon or Mars. And the Imax Theatre is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a breathtaking movie. The museum is also a great place fo buy educational souvenirs to bring home.
