Riverside Hotel on Las Olas: The Perfect Vacation Spot for Educational Adventures for the Whole Family

Fort Lauderdale, FL — January 2026 — The historic Riverside Hotel on Las Olas Boulevard is redefining family travel by offering an ideal home base for immersive “edutainment” adventures. Blending culture, history, science, and outdoor discovery with the comfort of a relaxing vacation, the Riverside Hotel invites families to explore Fort Lauderdale in a way that inspires curiosity, learning, and lifelong memories.

Perfectly positioned along the picturesque New River and steps from the Riverwalk, the Riverside Hotel places families at the center of the city’s richest educational attractions. Guests can step next door to the Stranahan House Museum, where Fort Lauderdale’s pioneer history comes alive, or walk to the NSU Art Museum, home to exciting exhibitions and hands‑on programs for young creatives.

Just a short stroll away, the Museum of Discovery & Science offers interactive STEM exhibits, flight simulators, an IMAX theater, and environmental displays that spark wonder for children of all ages. Families can continue learning outdoors aboard Carrie B Cruises, immersing themselves in the city’s maritime stories, or explore nature and wildlife through thrilling airboat rides at Everglades Holiday Park.

The adventure continues with the Water Taxi, connecting guests to educational and scenic stops throughout the Venice‑style waterways. For active families, EZE Electric Bike Rentals provides a fun and eco‑friendly way to explore the arts district, waterfront parks, and historical landmarks.

Back at the hotel, families can unwind in newly refreshed guestrooms and enjoy convenient on‑site dining at Wild Sea Las OlasBoathouse at the Riverside, and the New River Café & Bakery.

“Families today want vacations that entertain and enrich,” said Heiko Dobrikow, Executive Vice President and General Manager. “The Riverside Hotel offers the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and discovery.”
