You HAVE to visit this museum if you travel to Fort Lauderdale. It not only has a huge IMAX 3D theater where you can watch amazing videos with various themes ranging from nature to outer space. I personally liked the one talking about the stars and the Milky Way. :)

The other exhibit I really liked was the coral reef which is not an imitation, it's a real Atlantic coral reef surrounded with colorful fishes (the small ones looked so cute), and other sea creatures. It was really amazing and most importantly educational. I can only recommend it to everyone, families and friends alike.

Fort Lauderdale History

The fort was destroyed and then abandoned, only to be rediscovered in 1893 by Frank Stranahan, who built there a house. It took 18 years for the new settlement to be incorporated as a city. During this period, Stranahan had built other houses – one of which serves today as a museum – and the Florida East Coast Railway arrived into town. In 1925, as a result of the Florida land boom, [...]
