Gumbo is fun when they're feeding the various sea creatures in the pools that have; the seahorses in the tanks are sweet. BUT, Wakotahatchee has a fabulous boardwalk with birds galore and we saw 4 alligators on this last visit! We always see at least 2 when we visit Florida! Herons, storks, whistling ducks...great! So too is the fact that... More

This nature center specializes in rehab for sea turtles and also has tanks of rays and some other creatures. The walk through the tropical hammock gives a feel of ancient Florida and the climb up the tower will give you an excellent view of the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal as well as the park you are in.

But, my teenage niece LOVED Gumbo Limbo. She learned a lot about turtles and the environment. We all enjoyed the great view from the tower on the boardwalk, and the... More

The center was very clean and the staff was very friendly and very informative. It was a great educational experience. It was amazing to see the concern and care the employees give to these animals. They also have a lovely walk throughout the area with a tower that you can climb and get a great view of the area around... More

What a great little spot just off the main drag. We were just looking for some shade and stumbled across this quiet oasis. No charge. But they do ask for $5 per adult.

Tanks, turtle rescue hospital, perfect inexpensive educational fun outing. Well-worth the visit. Great for families to combine with trip to beach.

Great place, educational for all ages, convenient to I-95 travelers, does close early so keep that in mind if you plan a visit. Spent very enjoyable few hours and would definitely return!

I have been coming to this nature center ever since I was a little kid. There are presently a ton of new tanks that house turtles and other marine life. The people that work at the center are full of information and are great with answering kids questions. They have also set up an area where you can see how... More

A great place to visit. We, unfortunately , didn't realize they close at 4, so will have to go back to see the place more leisurely. There are 4 tanks with fish at different stages of life. There are injured turtles being medically helped so they can return to the sea. There is a short boardwalk and a tower to... More
