Crowne Plaza Fort Myers At Bell Tower Shops

Fort Myers is home to some of the best beaches in the nation. Take a break from your busy schedule and journey out to the sandy shores of Fort Myers Beach or Sanibel Beach. Delight in the shops, quaint cottages, and old Florida charm this area is known for.

There are countless things to do in Fort Myers. Visit the 60 interactive exhibits, like the hurricane simulator or sea creature touch tank, at the Imaginarium Hands-On Museum. For an exciting night out, head to Bell Tower shops where you'll find restaurants, shops, and a movie theater. Music enthusiasts can catch a concert at Hertz Arena or a Broadway show at Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall.

Whether you're in town for college sports, spring training, or a Minor League game, sports fans will be just minutes away from the CenturyLink Sports Complex, which is home to Hammond Stadium. Catch a ballgame with the family and enjoy the energetic stadium atmosphere. If you prefer to tee off and practice your backswing, visit one of the many local golf courses for the day.

Travel back in time as you explore the historic Edison and Ford Winter Estates. Get an inside look at how Thomas Edison and Henry Ford lived with a guided tour through the 15,000-square-foot museum, newly renovated laboratories, and botanical gardens.

Make sure to visit Manatee Park, a non-captive warm water refuge for the Florida Manatee, for a truly unique experience for the entire family. The best time of the year to spot these gentle sea cows is from December to February when the Gulf of Mexico waters are below 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Admire the manatees from various viewing areas before walking through the beautiful butterfly garden.
