Buehler Planetarium and Observatory
Located on the campus of Broward College, Buehler Planetarium and Observatory is fantastic! It’s exhilarating, with the state-of-the-art equipment that makes you feel like you’re really floating in space. Even better, it’s free to enter, and there’s free parking also, something you’d never find “up north.” One caveat; try to avoid going on the weekend. The Planetarium gets quite busy then, with long lines and waiting times… but that is still fine for a free thing to do in Davie, FL.

That includes premium shopping, top-notch live entertainment, and fine dining too! If you want to stay a night or two, the rooms are relatively affordable. Many guests will tell you that the food here is even better than in Las Vegas. (Now that’s saying something.) If you have the kids with you, don’t worry; you’ll find plenty of family-friendly activities here.

Billie Swamp Safari
Have you ever heard of the “River of Grass” in Florida? That’s what locals called the Florida Everglades, one of the most astounding and intriguing environments on the planet. Filled with an incredible variety of wildlife, Billie Swamp Safari will get you close to all of them. Trained guides take you out on an airboat ride that you and the family will never forget! It’s 25 minutes of twists and turns in a subtropical wonderland teeming with plants and wildlife! Many of the guides are genuine Seminole Indians who know the Everglades like the back of their hand. Our recommendation? Take the twilight expedition to see everything and, as a cherry on top, a beautiful sunset to boot!
Davie Golf Club
One of Davie’s best values, Davie Golf Club, was recently renovated and today resembles a championship-level course. Offering multiple tees and multi-tiered greens, Davie Golf Course is the only public golf course in the entire area. They even featured the course in a DJ Khaled music video that featured the irrepressible Justin Bieber! (The song “Let It Go.”) In short, it’s the perfect place in Davie, FL, to practice your swing as well as your short game! (Many people store their golf and other sports equipment in a Davie, FL storage unit*.)

Yep, they’re welcome at Happy Pony World also, so that kids can learn all about the majestic animals. A definite must-see in Davie!
Revolution Live Sunday Jazz Brunch
Is there anything better than listening to jazz while enjoying the great outdoors? Yes, when that live jazz is free and adjacent to one of the best Riverwalks in the country!

(You can even bring your pets as long as they’re well-behaved and on a leash.)
