My daughter and I visited this state park today. We parked at the US 19 entrance and was treated to a boat ride to the actual park.

An old tourist attraction now run as a state park. Such a lovely natural area. You can follow the trails and see fox, bear, flamingos, herons-anything natural to Florida. Except old Lu the hippo-but that is another story! Go there you won't regret it.

This is a great place to bring your friends and family. You can take the river cruse by boat or the train ride. It,s day out and lots of fun. They have a museum, a gift shop and food. They have all the animals that live in Florida there and the Manatees

I visited the park with family from the UK, they offered a discount for RAC members so tickets were about £6 each. Bargain !

What a wonderful park!! We really enjoyed our visit today to this park! Well maintained, knowledgeable and clean park. There were lots of wildlife to see. Loved it!

I went during a time when the Crystal River was cloudy and I could barely see the manatees. I remember touching one but I just didn't enjoy it. It wasn't for me.

It was a nice place to visit, convenient and clean. The staff was great especially the man who took us on the boatride down the canal. Everyone was so knowledgable and took their time to answer all of your questions.

Very neat opportunity to view the natural wildlife of Florida. A boat takes you down the wild side on the river and you can either take the boat back or walk the trail through the woods. We walked back and saw a big snake~~just keep walking....fast. Staff was knowlegeable and went out of their way to teach the kids facts... More

Manatees, water fowl, wide open lots of things to see and do. Worth the trip. that's all, and that's enough.
