We do Turtle walks to watch for nest and early one morning found a Pelican lying on the beach. Strangely he wasn't afraid when we wrapped him in a damp towel, piled into the SUV and took him to CROW. We were leaving for vacation up north but they called and kept us posted on his health. Unfortunately he didn't... More

This is a wildlife injury/illness rescue center for the entire Ft. Myers area, creatively designed so that there is a whole pick-up and delivery system for any injured or sick wild animal, then a system for releasing them back into the wild, the goal for each. They have a continuous loop film of the hospital, and even tiny sparrows and... More

You just visit a static exhibition and USD 5 for 5 minutes is a bit too much. Other rehabilitation centers, such as in Sarasota, allow you to view animals (that are cured). More

Stop in and see the great work this place does in helping and rehabilitating injured wild life. While on a wild life adventure during our stay our party came across a severely injured loggerhead turtle that had been hit by a passing boat. The appropriate people were contacted and at last work the turtle was recovering at CROW. Thanks to... More

The way stories are told about each of the rescued animals, starting with their condition and thru their treatment and release is fascinating. Interesting to see the combination of eastern and western medicine techniques applied. Wish we did so well for some of the humans on this planet! More

Worthwhile organization doing great things which is 100% funded by charitable giving. Even if you lack interest in hearing about wildlife rehab stop in and leave a donation. More

Everyone loves the work that CROW does, including myself. But the education center, the public access point, either needs to have more room or more organization. It is difficult to see/read/view the exhibits as the order of things is a bit disjointed. I know CROW does wondeful work in rehabilitating the animals and birds in its care and will support... More

This education center is something special. The animal patients are recovering from illness and injury and not on display but the gift shop and education center are really comprehensive. More

We learned a ton from our visit to CROW. The interpretive center was fun and interesting. We listened to an intern give a talk on burrowing owls. We purchased their book to learn more about their work and mission. We were amazed to learn that they use acupuncture and chinese herbs as part of their rehabilitation. They are doing amazing...

Really just a presentation of wildlife. I love the fact that this organization is helping wildlife but the actual visit wasn't what I expected. More
