LEE COUNTY:
(Overview of one of the fastest growing counties in the United States)
Along Florida’s southwestern coast, family adventures reach the beach and
expand inland to wild animal parks and historical sites galore! Lee County,
from Boca Grande to Bonita Springs, offers more than 50 miles of beaches famous
for rare shells and calm Gulf of Mexico waters. Families particularly enjoy
the gently sloping sands of Fort Myers Beach on Estero Island, long recognized
as one of the world’s safest beaches. Brilliant sugar-white sand for sculpting
sand castles, and numerous public parks with plenty of amenities, make Fort
Myers Beach an ideal family playground.
Heading to the mainland, families can hop on the downtown tram for a narrated tour of Fort Myers’ colorful history. Along the way, stop at the side-by-side winter estates of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, two famous friends who spent years as neighbors along the Caloosahatchee River. Also on the grounds is a museum showcasing the world’s largest collection of Edison’s inventions and memorabilia, including 200 Edison phonographs and his collection of rare antique automobiles.
Let the living history lesson continue at the Burroughs Home, where charming tour guides in 1920s-era costumes share insight about the Georgian revival-style home, considered Fort Myers’ first luxury residence. And the Fort Myers Historical Museum, housed in a restored Spanish-style train depot, showcases exhibits from ancient Indian civilizations to early European settlers. At the Children’s Science Center, in Cape Coral, kids will marvel at the dazzling optical illusions, ferocious dinosaurs and stunning solar systems on display.
Lee County also offers plenty of "wild" family adventures. Visitors are immersed in native flora and fauna at the Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium, in Fort Myers, which features three nature trails, live-reptile exhibits, a freshwater aquarium and a natural history museum just for kids. Enjoy the planetarium’s star and laser-light shows.
Located in Bonita Springs, Everglades
Wonder Gardens is one of Florida’s oldest wildlife attractions. The zoo and
botanical gardens, established in 1936, feature exotic Everglades wildlife,
from bears and birds of prey to panthers and crocodiles. For wild water fun,
head over to Sun Splash Family Waterpark in Cape Coral, where 12 acres of
slides and rides offer lots of thrills and spills for everyone. With the many
other attractions and history,
you’ll say . . . I
Love Lee County!
