"The Last Picture Show" ( theater name)
Not so fancy or updated theater, reminds me of my childhood movie theater. The ticket prices are so much lower than the big chain theaters, especially on Tuesday's. Usually about 5-6 movies showing, many of them still in the big theaters. Stop by Char-Hut first ( in same parking lot) for a great burger cooked to order prior to your show and you're all set!!!

As we approach our 25th year anniversary, we are so grateful to our loyal friends & supporters. Patrons and critics alike agree this past season has been filled with some of the strongest, most creative, most exuberant productions in our history. From classics such as “Evita,” “The Rothschilds,” “Most Happy Fella,” and our current production of “Nine,” to our original shows such as “The Soul of Motor City,” “Vegas - A Night on the Strip” and our smash production of “Swing, Swing, Swing” (which we’re bringing back by popular demand) the quality of our shows has never been better! Our next season is again filled with an amazing line-up from the 40th anniversary production of “Saturday Night Fever” and a brand new, recent Broadway hit Gershwin’s “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” to astounding new shows such as “Time Step,” “Hot Latin Rhythms,” and “Imagine - A Beatles Retrospective.” Join us in celebrating 25 Years As Broward's Most Popular Award-Winning Theatre!

Nice regional theater that features excellent talent and fun shows. Theater itself could use a little updating but they put out first rate productions. Their most recent production of Saturday Night Fever was chock-full of fun, lively numbers, great humor and beautiful music & dancing....MoreThanks you Cindy, we really appreciate your support and review!

Mission “To create a stimulating and enjoyable educational visual arts experience for the South Florida community exhibiting diverse Florida, national and international artists.” About Coral Springs Museum of Art What began late in 1996 as a City project to build a comprehensive recreation and community center, soon turned into The Coral Springs Center for the Arts – a performance theater and art museum. Housed in the impressive 30,000 square foot center for the arts building is the equally impressive Coral Springs Museum of Art which was incorporated in January of 1997. With its beautiful, open architectural design, and atrium view, coupled with its warm and inviting ambiance, the Museum is unlike any other cultural institution – it is a unique place for all to experience the passion and beauty of the visual arts. Throughout the organization’s tenure, the profound philosophy that art is for everyone remains, and the Museum is unwavering in its commitment in demolishing the stigma ass

The Coral Springs Museum of Art is co-located with the Center for the Art, a concert hall, which appears to be why the reviews on TripAdvisor mix descriptions of the arts with descriptions of concerts. We visited the museum, which is a small, well-lighted space that features rotating exhibits of contemporary artists (there appears to be no permanent collection). The exhibits were interesting, the staff was nice, and the admission fee was very reasonable. Coral Springs is fortunate to have such a nice facility.

Got a facial & Massage package as a gift. It was pretty cool. It’s located in the Royal Palms Hotel a block from the beach. Had a few champagnes at the bar and was able to use the pools I will be back. Highly recommended it.

Not only does Butterfly World have a very good collection of butterflies it also has a substantial bird aviary,a good collection of flowering plants and a bug zoo . The butterfly house and bird aviary are in separate buildings and are attractions by themselves. The flowering plant collection and bug zoo are just added bonuses. There is the mandatory gift shop which has a nice selection and a plant nursery with a variety of items for sale.
It is worth the trip to Coconut Creek just off the Florida Turnpike.

Located near the Everglades, this park provides elevation and scenic beauty - perfect for bikers.

Here for the first time after moving to Weston for some shooting / target practice. I hear and read bad reviews from this outdoor range. Found it not to be real. The range is very well organize and safety is first and foremost as there is a mix ox experience shooters and beginners and families. Not expensive at all and the only outdoor 100 yards range near by. Liked it and will be back.
As for the park itself, I’ll need to come back with the family and enjoy the other activities offered.

A typical local bowling alley with arcade and food. I have been there often with youth groups (Scouts and Civil Air Patrol) and youth sports teams for bowling, pizza and soft drink parties. A nice change of pace -- fun night or end-of-season celebration.

Shopping rarely deserves its’ more common description of ‘retail therapy’ given the stress, anger and post credit card statement anxiety it often generates, but today’s visit was almost close to it.
Few people were around and even fewer children minimised both the congestion and noise and made getting around rather easy.
If you hadn’t realised, Sawgrass is huge, gargantuan in fact much larger than most UK set ups. There is something for all budgets and all styles from high-end shops to budget conscious discount stores. Just be mindful that in many shops the real bargains (often at 60-70% off) are on sales rails and products sometimes don’t come with high street comparison prices. That said, there are some terrific savings to be had and this technique is not universally followed. Consequently, it can get really busy, especially so after lunch and with that comes tired and slow shoppers and fractious children making the perfect recipe for retail disharmony. However, go early, with a plan and ideally go mid-week and parting with your money could almost be pleasurable. Shopping heaven.

Good family fun for young kids & pre-teens when you can overlook the facility. It's a bit run down. Reasonably priced for all day skating in comparison to other activities available in the area.

I love the Promenade. It's been such a great addition to Coconut Creek. It's a place people can meet up to eat, browse, get pampered, or catch a movie. Whenever I have guests in from out of town I bring them over and they never fail to be impressed.
For entertainment one of my favorite places is the Silverspot. They have $8 movies on Tuesdays. The chairs are over sized and comfy. You can even have the restaurant there bring food and alcoholic beverages to your seat.
Also on Tuesdays you can get the $5 burger at Bar Louie a few doors down. The have a half priced appetizer and $5 martini happy between 5 and 7. The restaurants range from the upscale like Ethos Greek Bistro to the casual Rubios Coastal grill. If you like an adult beverage World of Beer is a fun and casual spot to meet up with friends to grab a cold one. Cooper's Hawk Winery is a recent addition to the Promenade catering to wine lovers. Starbucks will satisfy you caffeine craving while Cold Stone Creamery is a great place to grab desert.
I never fail to get a great haircut at Pyure. They give you a hand massage with lotion with your cut. It is so relaxing. I hit up European Wax when I need eyebrow shaping.
The Promenade is a great place to get a unique gift. When I want to gift costume jewelry or a cute bag I head over to Charming Charlie. I could easily kill an hour browsing that store. Pizazz has one of a kind and affordable gifts for anyone on your list. It's Sugar is another great store to pick up a gift. They have so many unique candies as well as novelty items.
The Promenade has wide sidewalks and plenty of parking. You can either park in the garage or if you are talented enough there is parallel parking in front of the shops. The landscaping is extremely well kept up. There is a very nice fountain at the entrance on Lyons Road. You will never see garbage on the streets and everything looks very pristine. I always feel safe leaving my car as I often see security circling around. There is something for everyone and it's a great spot to meet up with a friend. In addition they often have events during the holidays. A full listing of events as well as job openings can be found on their website.
