Broward County Information

As part of the South Florida Metropolitan area, Broward County boasts a population of nearly two million people. Situated along Florida's eastern coast, the County enjoys the sparkling Atlantic Ocean on one side and the beautifully mysterious Everglades on the other. This makes the area perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who come to swim, surf, hike, boat, fish, and more under the South Florida sunshine, and with the area's tropical climate, residents and visitors can do these things all year long.

Broward County also has several other notable places worth visiting. In Fort Lauderdale, the county seat, you'll find the Museum of Discovery and Science, featuring an IMAX theater, interactive and educational exhibits, and animals native to Florida. Butterfly World in Coconut Creek lives up to its name - it's the largest butterfly park on the planet! In addition to the over 3,000 butterflies fluttering around, you'll get to enjoy beautiful plants, ponds, and gardens. Flamingo Gardens in Davie is a 60-acre botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary. Visitors here can enjoy the serenity of beautifully manicured gardens, groves, wetlands, and even a rainforest. Shoppers will delight in the Festival Flea Market Mall, a quarter-mile long market with over 500 stores and eateries. In fact, this is the biggest indoor flea market in America! Finally, like other South Florida locales, there is much to be said for the vibrant culture of the area. With so many cultures calling Broward County home, there is an exciting and diverse mix of food, music, and more that will tantalize the senses of locals and tourists.
