Visit Lauderdale stands at the forefront of accessible tourism, ensuring that every traveler and their companion feels welcomed and accommodated. With initiatives that cater to diverse needs, Greater Fort Lauderdale is more than a vacation; it’s an escape to a community that embraces everyone. Whether it’s navigating the pristine beaches in our eight coastal cities, enjoying a show at Broward Center for the Performing Arts, or the thrill of airboat adventure and alligator show at Everglades Holiday Park, our experiences are designed with accessibility in mind.

We work with partners like Wheel the World to map out our slice of paradise to remove barriers for all. It starts when you arrive at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, which offers the Hidden Sunflower Disability program, which allows those with non-visible disabilities to request extra assistance when traveling.

With downtown less than five miles from the airport, there is no reason to delay the good times in Greater Fort Lauderdale. Shop on Las Olas Boulevard, explore pet-friendly accommodations like the Plunge Beach Resort, or take a scenic kayak through the waters at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. Come, explore, and find your place in Greater Fort Lauderdale – where we Welcome Everyone Under the Sun.
