Fort Myers Great Day Out
  Southwest Florida Museum of History |
Next, take a historic downtown walking tour (offered Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10 a.m. from December through April) with the Southwest Florida Museum of History (also downtown) or take advantage of ample opportunities for antiques hunting. Lunch at April’s Eatery (cash only) inside the historic Arcade Theatre building.
Little kids in tow? Head to the Imaginarium Hands-On Museum for an afternoon of hands-on learning and exploration. Budding historians, scientists and inventors will want to take a narrated tour of the Edison & Ford Winter Estates just south of the main downtown area. While children of all ages will enjoy the indoor/outdoor celebration of the prolific inventor's and industrialist's lives, estates officials say kids in the fourth grade (age 9 or 10) or higher get the most out of the experience. Dinner options abound, but try kid-friendly Joe’s Crab Shack, right on the water or, for a more sophisticated evening out (with a babysitter and sans kids), The Veranda.
