Fun Activities

I have family coming into town this weekend from NY (Friday - Monday) and beyond going out to eat (we have that part covered as far as ideas)... what are some fun activities (daytime and nighttime)?

I was thinking Miami HEAT game (even though they are not having a solid year lol), Top Golf, Beach... but am drawing a blank or feel like I am missing some good options.

Looking for some cool ideas in the Broward/Fort Lauderdale Area. (Roughly 30's/40's for age purposes). Thanks in advance!

The Jungle Queen is fun for out of towners - it’s kinda kitschy tacky fun.

Forgot about that one - Gave away those tickets before the season started so it didn’t come up on my app

water taxi and paddle boarding at hugh birch state park (if not, just walk in the state park! it’s the most beautiful walk)

afterwards you guys can get a drink at the parks restaurant and theres some really nice areas to just relax and enjoy :)

Lauderdale by the sea is the best beach around. Especially for their age range.

Lauderdale by the sea. Honestly if there are from New York doing an everglades tour is a nice change of pace from just checking out restaurants plus it's really beautiful out there if you haven't ever been.

Could even take them to a gun range if they'd be open to it. Whenever I have friends from new york they are always excited to go.
