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.
