Like the cleanliness of the park and ease of travel to get there.Docents are so well versed about these beautiful creatures. Area available for picnic too. More

Well maintained - great staff. Beautiful grounds and Manatees when it's cold out. More

We went at beginning of April. The water was warm in the gulf already. No manatees the day we went but a nice little walk and area for the kids to play so all in all decent little outing More
