Hubby and I stopped here after hotel checkout and we are glad we did. It was amazing to walk around with birds above and beside you. We got some great pictures and it was a good learning experience. The place was well maintained. more

Loved this place! Although a little stinky and the fact that you need to watch out for birds that sit above in the trees this place was one of the highlights of our vacation. Hawks, owls and even a crow that talks when it's in the mood are just a few of the permanent bird residents here that are not... more

My wife and I were at the sanctuary on Nov 1st. It was our second visit there. Our first visit was 3 1/2 years ago. We liked it so much we had to come back. Not only is it a great place to see all kinds of birds, but the wild birds that just land a few feet from you... more

My husband and I visited the Seabird Sanctuary during our honeymoon vacation to Florida in August. Entry is free (however you are encouraged to make a donation) and there are a lot of really cool birds there. The sanctuary is not overly huge but a nice little attraction and cool place to see some local wildlife as well as some... more

We visited the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary several times while in the area. It is one of the largest wild bird rehabilitation centers in the United States. For 30+ years, the Sanctuary has been a hospital for birds of all kinds. The Sanctuary's Mission as always been dedicated to Rescue, Repair & Rehabilitation and release of healthy wild birds. It’s a... more

If you like seabirds this is a must, the work that is done at the seabird sanctuary is excellent. We stayed at the apartments next door so we visited several times during the week we stayed. more

This sea bird hospitall is unlike a zoo - rather you see the injured birds as they are rehabilitated. Some are released while some remain residents if their injuries prohibit release. It's a great cause & free but it makes you happy to give a donation to help with their work. more

I love visiting this place when I am out there, but even I have to admit that it really, really smells. If you love birds or even just respect the altruism of the sanctuary, you should be able to overlook it . This is first and foremost a bird sanctuary - this place is for them. There is no admission... more
