Things to Do in Fort Lauderdale (When You're Tired of the Beach)

Let’s be honest—Fort Lauderdale beaches are great, but sometimes you’re sunburned, rained out, or just craving something way more exciting than lounging in the sand. Whether you're a local looking for something new, a tourist trying to dodge the typical, or planning a group event, Fort Lauderdale is home to some truly smash-worthy indoor fun.

1. 💥 Smash Plates & Stress with Plate Therapy

Plate Therapy at The Smashit House is not your typical Fort Lauderdale attraction. Write down what’s bothering you, throw a plate against the wall, and let the satisfying shatter do the healing. It’s stress relief with a side of chaos, and yes—it’s BYOB.

Great for:

  • Tourists

  • Bachelorette parties

  • Post-breakup catharsis

  • Group therapy (without the awkward chairs)

2. 🪓 Get Competitive at The Axehole House

Step into The Axehole House and unleash your inner lumberjack. Our axe throwing lanes are perfect for couples, coworkers, or anyone who enjoys a little sharp-edged competition. Newbies welcome—our coaches have your back (and not your fingers).

Great for:

  • Unique date nights

  • Corporate team building

  • Bachelor parties

  • Weekend warriors

3. 🔥 Take the Heat in the Scream Room or Rage Room

Need to let it all out? Scream into the void (literally) or break stuff in our Rage Room. You can punch, smash, scream, and destroy safely in a space built to take the hits. It’s Florida therapy, reimagined.

Great for:

  • Post-work blowouts

  • Friends-day-out

  • Moms with teens

  • Rainy day tantrums
