Learn about local history while visiting the home of artists, at this eclectic Fort Lauderdale estate. On a tour of the tropically landscaped grounds, which encompass five distinct ecosystems, visitors may see Amazon parrots, a troop of Costa Rican squirrel monkeys and an occasional manatee traveling through the Boathouse Canal. During the museum’s annual Orchid Festival, kids can make an orchid collage, learn to compost worms and enjoy face painting and Hawaiian dancing.
