EXPLORE FORT LAUDERDALE

The International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) is Fort Lauderdale’s tribute to those who have contributed to competitive swimming, diving, water polo, and synchronized swimming. The city has been a center for these sports since the 1920’s. Its museum is the “Official Repository for Aquatic History” as deemed by Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) – the governing body for Olympic aquatic sports.

In 2020, the City committed $46 Million to the renovation of the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center, including the construction of a 27-meter high dive tower. This will be the only tower of its kind in the western hemisphere. This renovation of the aquatic center will undoubtedly bring the facility back to its world-class competition status and reestablish Fort Lauderdale as the premier location for competitive aquatic sports, not just in the United States but around the world.

Stroll, people watch, sip a latte at an outdoor cafe or shop the chic boutiques along Las Olas Boulevard, a sophisticated mile of fashion, art and sidewalk cafes. Stop by the Stranahan House, a preserved 1900s house furnished with antiques of the era. Join the party, a “Cycle Party” and go on a foodie tour of Las Olas Boulevard on a quadracycle. Or “follow the red brick road” of Riverwalk, the landscaped park, to the Arts & Entertainment District.

When the sun goes down in Greater Fort Lauderdale, the gaming tables heat up. From blackjack and poker to thoroughbred racetracks and jai-alai courts, Greater Fort Lauderdale offers high-stakes, high-energy action 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Add in slots, harness racing, baccarat, pai gow, and dozens of other table games—as well as drinks, dancing, and entertainment—and it’s clear that Greater Fort Lauderdale’s casinos are a can’t-lose proposition.

For those who like to lace up their skates, Xtreme Action Park has an indoor Roller Skating Rink, as well as a go-kart track, bowling alley, and trampoline park. At more than 200,000 square feet, Xtreme Action Park is the largest action sports facility in the state and also plays host to matches in Florida’s premier roller derby league, the Gold Coast Derby Grrls.

Whether your interests lie in Food or Fitness, Art or Adventure, Live Music or Environmental Causes, you will find a variety of Special Events, Activities and Infinite Experiences for Everyone Under the Sun, all just a short walk from the Marina.
