Ft. Lauderdale day tour?

Our flight does not depart until 8:45 pm. We will have a car. 5 young adults. Can anyone recommend a nice beach area or fun excursion to do during the day? 11am -7pm? Thanks:)

There's plenty to keep you occupied, you can kill a whole day at Sawgrass Mills , the largest outlet center in Florida. Just west of Sawgrass Mills are two Everglades airboat operators, Everglades Holiday Park - Sightseeing Tours and Sawgrass Recreation Park .

Just minutes from the beach is the Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District in downtown Fort Lauderdale, home to cultural attractions, shops, parks and restaurants. Along Riverwalk, the brick-lined meandering promenade, discover the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Museum of Discovery and Science with its Blockbuster 3D IMAX Theater, Florida Grand Opera, Old Fort Lauderdale, Stranahan House and the Museum of Art.

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino , hotel and casino complex is comparable to a Vegas shopping/casino experience. One of the nicest beaches in SoFla is Hollywood Beach with itsHollywood Oceanfront Broadwalk , swim all day in our warm turquoise waters.

Haven't had enough cruising then hop on the Jungle Queen Riverboat or the Carrie B. Harbor Tours and see the yachts and homes of the rich and famous. Or you can just hop on the Water Taxi/Water Bus for the poor mans tour of the waterways.

Even more bargain shopping is available at the largest flea market in SoFla, the Swap Shop. Or you can spend some big bucks on our version of Rodeo Drive,Las Olas Boulevard. IKEA recently opened a store 15 minutes west of the cruiseport, great place for lunch if you have a hankerin for some Swedish meatballs...:p

Thanks! Are there any hotels that offer day rates for use of their facility on the ocean side that you would recommend?

None that I'm aware of. If you happen across a website that lists hotels that offer day rooms, be sure to call the property directly to confirm as the information on the web sites can be inaccurate.
