Where to stay in Lauderhill
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Rooms in Lauderhill are chosen for position rather than for the city itself, since the whole of Broward County is within reach and the Miami metropolitan area runs on from there. Central Broward Regional Park is the exception. A base near the park puts a visitor beside the one large green space in the city, with the Island SPACE Caribbean Museum close enough for an afternoon.
Eight square miles hold the city. Museums pull a stay outward. The Museum of Discovery and Science, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, the Stranahan House and the War Memorial Auditorium are county draws rather than city ones, and a room near the through roads makes them easier to reach than a room deep in a residential grid.
Old Dillard High School and the Stonewall National Museum Archives & Library belong to that same run. The Coral Springs Museum of Art, the Coral Springs Center for the Arts and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds sit elsewhere in Broward County, far enough that a car is the only sensible way to take them in. The Miami metropolitan area is the wider draw, and Lauderhill's place among its principal cities is what puts beds here within reach of most of it.
About Lauderhill
What is Lauderhill known for?
Central Broward Regional Park anchors the city's own short list of places to go, which stays short because Lauderhill dates only from 1959 and has no older centre to fall back on. The Island SPACE Caribbean Museum is the other name on it. Everything else sits in Broward County.
The Museum of Discovery and Science, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale and the Young at Art Museum are all within a short drive, and the Coral Springs Museum of Art and Coral Springs Center for the Arts add to the same county-wide list.
What are the main landmarks in Lauderhill?
Two names belong to the city itself. Central Broward Regional Park and the Island SPACE Caribbean Museum are the ones a visitor reaches without leaving Lauderhill, and everything else on the list belongs to Broward County around it. The Museum of Discovery and Science, the Stranahan House, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale and the War Memorial Auditorium head that wider list.
Old Dillard High School, the Buehler Planetarium and Observatory, the Young at Art Museum and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds fill it out.
What is the history of Lauderhill?
Lauderhill dates from 1959. That makes it one of the newer cities of Broward County, and the record here starts with the street plan rather than with a church, a fort or a port. The older record sits outside it.
Stranahan House and Old Dillard High School carry the county's earlier story, and the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, the War Memorial Auditorium and the Museum of Discovery and Science came later to hold what the county had collected. The Stonewall National Museum Archives & Library and the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book belong to the same county-wide record. Lauderhill grew as part of that.
The city took its place among the principal cities of the Miami metropolitan area, and its eight square miles sit among the built-up ground of that region rather than at any centre of it. Central Broward Regional Park came with the growth. The Island SPACE Caribbean Museum stands with it on the city's short list.
The Coral Springs Museum of Art, the Coral Springs Center for the Arts and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds show how much of what a visitor does from here belongs to other parts of Broward County.
Where is Lauderhill?
Broward County surrounds the city on all sides, and Lauderhill's eight square miles sit inland within the built-up ground of the Miami metropolitan area. There is no coastline here. Central Broward Regional Park supplies most of the open ground, and the rest of the city is street after street of the subtropical suburb that filled this part of Broward County after 1959.
The Island SPACE Caribbean Museum stands among it.
What is the climate of Lauderhill?
Shade is worth having here. Summer runs hot and wet across Broward County, with storms building through the afternoon and the humidity holding into the evening, which is why the paths at Central Broward Regional Park fill early and empty by midday. Winter is the dry season.
Those months are when a visit built around the museums of Broward County, and the driving between them, costs the least effort.
How do you get to Lauderhill?
Lauderhill sits among the road network of Broward County, and most arrivals come by car from elsewhere in the Miami metropolitan area rather than to the city itself. Nothing else is far. The Museum of Discovery and Science, the War Memorial Auditorium and the Stranahan House are a county drive away, and the Coral Springs Center for the Arts is another.
Central Broward Regional Park is the one stop reachable on foot from parts of the city.
