NATURE AND THE EVERGLADES
Experience South Florida's fragile ecosystem from the Everglades "The River of Grass" to the beauty and wonder of the butterfly to sea turtles nesting on shore.

At Billie Swamp Safari, experience the Everglades via airboat or swamp buggy. View gators and a variety of water fowl in their natural habitat. Even spend the night in a Chikee hut. Website

At Butterfly World in Coconut Creek, witness metamorphosis in living color as thousands of butterflies from around the world glide and soar amid lush botanicals. Get a glimpse of sea turtles laying their eggs on our 23 miles of beach from May-August. Website

Bonnet House
Once a pocket of gentility on an untamed coast, the 35-acre estate is now a preserve for an Old Florida time warp, located between the Fort Lauderdale beach and the Intracoastal waterway, just south of Sunrise Boulevard.

Immerse yourself in Greater Fort Lauderdale's undersea world where reefs are made of living coral and dead ships. Where gulfstream currents bring a treasure trove of brilliantly colored exotic aquatic wildlife. And where life begins anew through an artificial reef program which provides a safe harbor for that wildlife, augments the delicate natural reefs and even stems beach erosion.
