I love nature, and I love learning about it. This was perfect. There were a few different tanks, with fish and small sharks. There was a tank with a baby sea turtle. There were numerous walkways under the shade of the trees (this is a hammock.) There is also a little hop and information center. There is an area where... more

A truly memorable day was spent at this lovely Nature Reserve. It is both educational and entertaining and the sea turtles were adorable! On the day we visited a male and female turtle were released at sea, this event was celebrated with cake for the visitors and supporters. The nature trail is fascinating, lots of spiders, butterflies and bugs to... more

I really miss our 2008 nature walk to the treehouse/lookout to see a panoramic view of the ocean, city, and Intracoastal Waterway. Beautiful location off A1A, with many animals and very knowledgable staff. Just make sure you have enough time to go everywhere, because they close at 4! more

It is very low key and wholesome. There are a few large outdoor tanks with marine life. Again, the volunteers are happy to talk and answer questions for as... more

Four outdoor tanks with sealife, nurse sharks, logger head turtles and rays. It's free but I think you can make a donation. We bought a ton of stuff in the little gift store. Make sure you dont... more
