Excellent place to watch birds. Friendly, helpful staff. Peaceful.
Excellent place !! First time and I loved it !! 💜💜
We loved it here! The staff was extremely helpful!
Had a great time. Saw many different birds and types of fish and even crabs. The view from the tower is one of the highlights.

Beautiful place!!!
Awesome place! A little hot and not the amount of animals we were expecting to see but it was still fun! And the top view was the best!!

It’s a long boardwalk that is in full sun but there are several covered bird blinds with seating and water fountain. We spent a long time here and really enjoyed seeing nature undisturbed. There was warning of an alligator but we never saw it - another positive about being up above it all.
Beautiful place, with lots of wonderful nature to see, I enjoyed a slow walk and it took me all morning but you could do it faster. My favorite part was the alligators and the view from the tower was spectacular.
