The ELC is one of the jewels of the Treasure Coast. The activities and educational events are second to none and appeal to every age group. The Pontoon Boat trip is the best "on-water" experience on the Indian River Lagoon. Fantastic staff and volunteers. Great value.

I don’t know why we haven’t visited this place sooner. It’s a wealth of knowledge and entertainment for the adults and the kids. We came with a 13yo and 4yo and both equally enjoyed it. The touch tank and all the hands on exhibits were very well thought out and executed. The boardwalk trails are well marked and I would say accessible to all abilities. We will for sure be returning.

The pontoon boat ride is excellent - be sure to book ahead; it only goes out with minimum 6 people. We saw a zillion birds, all identified by the guides and captain. The boat stopped to watch groups of dolphins play. I’d go again in a different cycle to see the wildlife.

We had a great visit here with our 3.5yo & 2yo. The trails and boardwalk provide an easy way for little ones to explore the rich mangrove ecosystem. There are many thoughtful hands-on learning opportunities for little ones across the campus. The indoor learning center features large aquariums and a touch pool. There also are blocks, puzzles, interactive murals and storybooks available to help little ones learn. Our 2yo fell in love with the "petable" manatee!
Highly recommend this for everyone!

Kayak rental from ELC was quick and easy. Marc, who got us situated, was very friendly and full of suggestions on where to go and what we could see on our journey. It was fun to walk the grounds after our two hours exploring the surrounding areas by kayak. Reasonable rental prices and helpful staff make this a great location for outdoor exploration!

A local shop recommended taking a canoe trip through the mangroves they had decorated with holiday lights. We enjoyed it so much that we returned the next day to explore it in the light.
I enjoyed it more than the botanical gardens because there were more opportunities to experience the wildlife without being surrounded by tourists.

We enjoyed taking the trails, but the best part was the little area to take pictures with the butterflies and the touch tank. They have a volunteer to tell you about the sea life and our child found it fascinating. Next time we would rent a kayak or take the pontoon boat ride. Easy to get to as well!

We went kayaking yesterday as a last minute group activity. Mark helped get everything ready for us and was super helpful! The little shop had some cute stuff and they do kid camps and education classes there also. The mangroves were really cool to kayak through and the trail is marked. We will define do it again and recommend it as a fun family activity.

Amazing and memorable kayaking excursion with Marc. I had a friend and colleague visiting from Ethiopia and she'd never been kayaking before. We spent 2 fun filled and educational hours with Marc as our guide. He helped my friend get comfortable with paddling and she/we had the best experience. It was fun and educational. Will be signing up again with friends who will be visiting in December. We could tell Marc truly enjoys what he does and I left thinking about what I can do to ensure we do not lose any more of our precious and beautiful environment/water ways.
