Bonnet House’s Family Summer Special

By Bonnet House Blog No Comments

Looking for a fun, affordable, and educational way to keep the whole family entertained this summer? Look no further than the Family Summer Special at Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, running from May 27 through August 31! This seasonal offer allows you to enjoy the beauty and history of one of Fort Lauderdale’s most beloved landmarks without breaking the bank.

From late May to the end of August, adult admission is just $25, and kids 17 and under get in free (with a paying adult). That means more family time, nature, history, and savings. With self-guided tours available through your mobile device, you can explore at your own pace and let curiosity lead the way.

Bonnet House is the perfect setting for a summer day out. Nestled on 35 acres of lush, tropical land, the estate is a peaceful retreat where history and ecology come to life. Step inside the historic house to discover the colorful world of Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett, who filled their home with art, stories, and a passion for creativity. Then wander through vibrant gardens, admire exotic plants, and watch for turtles, birds, and aquatic wildlife in the picturesque lakes and ponds.

Whether you’re a local or visiting South Florida, this is a unique chance to learn something new and share an enriching experience with your kids. You’ll leave with beautiful photos, fun facts, and memories that last far beyond summer.  Find more information on Bonnet House’s Family Summer Special here!
