We stopped here one morning and were pleasantly surprised by the place. It is not a large place but has a nice path that lets you see how the Keys used to be. There were tons of spiders along the path and my kids loved that. Me not so much. The bird sanctuary was fun and the people that volunteer there are full of information. They let my kids feed the left over fish to the fish under the dock and that was a great experience. The price is reasonable to get in and since there is not alot to do on Marathon this is nice little side trip.

We stumbled on Crane Point by accident. Quite a nice little museum with very helpful docents. The fish "lagoon" outside was fascinating.
The trails aren't much to speak of, but the center is going through a big renovation, and I think the outdoor exhibits will improve dramatically. Visit the bird rescue center. The volunteers are wonderful. Make sure you walk all the way out to the end and spend some time looking at all the fish under the bridge and dock. No fishing, but very interesting!

This is actually in Marathon (easier to identify this way).

We thought this would be a great trail with interesting flora and fauna. It was disappointing after visiting the Everglades! This would be a good stop for a family with young children, possibly.

The history and artifacts display inside is great but small. The walking tour didn't offer much - just a short trail with birds in cages halfway through. The gift shop does have nice books for sale.

This is not the place for extensive wildlife or the avid hiker.
