            Looking for "hidden" South Florida sightseeing off the beaten path

            Jump to last reply Flag this topic

            Two college DDs and I will spend last 2 weeks of Dec in South Florida (just west of FLL) with Grandma. We have been going there for ages, did most of the "usual" tourist sites from Lion Country Safari in the north to the Pennekamp State Park and Key Largo. Done day trips to Naples, etc. No one is interested in Orlando, been there many times as well.

            So, Fodorites, please put on your thinking caps. What can we do for either day trip or short 1-2 night stay that is "unusual" or off the beaten path. I know we sound jaded, but have been going there at this time of year lots & lots. Want to include kids, as they need to spend time with Grandma. Want to include all 4 of us.Unfortunately, Grandma is slipping away fast (early Alzheimer's) and we are afraid this might be our last trip to her condo, she may need more restricted living arrangements in the near future. We have access to her car (please don't go there) and would be willing to drive some for a fun time. Thanks!
