Bluefoot Pirate Adventures

“A pirate’s life is the life for me.”  It’s hard to find that kind of life in the sunny seas of Fort Lauderdale, but there is one boat out there that understands it.  Tucked behind the Bahia Mar lies the hidden gem of Bluefoot Pirate Adventures.  It’s not just about looking like a pirate here.  You’ve got to talk that talk, or walk the plank.  Arr, Matey! Click Here for InTown’s Gallery of Bluefoot Pirate Adventures.

Bluefoot Pirate Adventures offers a real journey for the whole family.  They dress you up like a pirate (swords, eye patch, and all) and teach you to talk like one as well.  Not once will they let up on their buccaneer character, especially first mate “Quick-Handed Jill”.  As Captain Kyle steers the ship during your journey, the kids get to do it all!  They begin their voyage by looking for the key to a treasure chest.  With the help of a map, they match the colors of the mansions off the Intracoastal Waterway to their map.  Click Here for InTown’s Gallery of Bluefoot Pirate Adventures.

As you enjoy the cool breeze of the waters, the mini-pirates are off blasting their water cannons against the evil Barnacle Bill who comes by to try and steal their treasure chest.  You can never go wrong when kids get to spray water in someone’s face.  Alas, with the help of Davy Jones (that’s right), the key to the chest is found and treasure is shared among all on the ship.  Yes, Bluefoot Pirate Adventures is truly something different.  They provide an amazing pirate voyage that you can’t find anywhere else.  As they say, “Bluefoot is the finest pirate ship in Broward County”!  True, they are the only pirate ship in Broward County, but that statement still stands strong.  Click Here for Bluefoot Pirate Adventures’ website.

Butterfly World

They say one of the secrets to longevity is to take a walk outside.  One of the best places to do that is at Butterfly World.  If you’re going fro a stroll, choosing a spot with amazing scenery seems like a smart thing to do.  The multi-colored butterflies and hummingbirds that randomly fly over your head are also pretty incredible.  These are nothing like the ones you've seen before!  Butterfly World has the world's most exotic butterflies and largest amount of free-flight birds.  Check here to see InTown’s listing of Butterfly World!

If you want some family fun, it’s almost inevitable that you’ll hit a crowded venue.  Yet, at Butterfly World, there is more than enough space that includes their 10-acre butterfly farm and research facility.  It’s educational fun for the kids.  The staff is also so accommodating that everything seems scripted, but part of the fun here is the spontaneity.  As you walk around, a butterfly may land in front of your feet or a parrot may sit on your shoulder.  Click here to see InTown’s Gallery of Butterfly World.

Butterfly World is nothing short of the most serene atmosphere in South Florida.  Once the dream of an electrical engineer, it’s uniquely special.  You can’t find another haven like this.  After spending a day walking through this world, you will feel absolutely rejuvenated.  They do say walking is an effective way to clear the mind.  It is most definitely a peaceful place that carries a dream-like surrounding. Click here to visit Butterfly World’s website.

Funderdome

Are you over going to places “where a kid can be a kid”?  This is for all the parents who are tired of going to the same crowded venues every week.  There is another option to take your child out for an entertaining day out without breaking the bank.  It’s one of the best-kept secrets in South Florida – Funderdome.  This is a place where both kids and adults can all play.  Click here for InTown’s Listing of Funderdome! 

From the moment you enter Funderdome, it’s fun and friendly.  The venue is tiled, clean, and simple. Once you pass the front desk and put away your shoes (socks only), you enter another world.  You can’t help but take a moment to gaze at the elaborate indoor playground awaiting your enjoyment.  It includes padded baby slides, air cannons for foam balls, rock-climbing, a rope course, and a basketball court.  Click here for Intown’s Gallery of Funderdome.

The playground may sound like it’s there for babies, toddlers, kids, and teens, but what about the adults?  If you want to play, there's a fun laser maze to challenge your skills.  For those that want to kick back, there’s a café with wi-fi, pizza, coffee, and tea, all within eye-range of the kids, of course.  You can also bring out the big kid in you by joining the fun.  Follow your little one and you might find yourself racing on the co-joined slides or starting a battle with the air-cannons.  There’s something here for everyone.  Click here for Funderdome’s website.Share on stumbleupon
