Explore the Arts, History & Sciences

The Broward Center and The Parker provide special seats for purchase and complimentary assisted listening devices. The Broward Center hosts a variety of performances (sensory-friendly, open-captioned, and sign-interpreted) and welcomes service animals.

Everyone can enjoy the scenic parks and beaches that add to the area’s allure.  

All Broward County parks – from Davie’s Tree Tops Park to T.Y. (Topeekeegee Yugnee) Park in Hollywood – provide services and programs for guests with disabilities. And so do the beaches and  parks, including Hugh Taylor Birch State Park in Fort Lauderdale and Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park in Dania Beach. Both parks feature accessible picnic pavilions and restrooms, offer beach wheelchairs, and allow service animals. 

Other outdoor attractions offering accessible amenities include Butterfly World in Coconut Creek and Flamingo Gardens in Davie. 

For water fun, hop on a Jungle Queen Riverboats, which weaves its way through the Intracoastal Waterway, offering a sightseeing cruise and a dinner and a show add-on. Both the boat and island are wheelchair accessible.
