- Donna JEstero, FL275 contributionsTook visitors on a cool windy day. A few shops still under construction from Hurricane IAN last Sept, but most shops were now clean & open. Looked like ALL restaurants were open for business. Always has been and still is a nice place to stop, eat & shop.Written January 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John DBig Lake, MN51 contributionsWe thoroughly enjoyed the Peace River Wildlife Center. It was small, but the staff were warm, friendly and informative. We enjoyed learning about the various species of birds and fowl there as well as seeing the wild birds the center attracts. I would highly recommend this center for all ages, but especially parents with children. There is no mandatory entrance fee, so the visit can be very affordable.Written January 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeff CCape Coral, FL27 contributionsWe have taken this tour twice now. Both trips were great. Lots of animals to see and experience.

- James Allen7 contributionsCompletely enjoyed my visit to the Military Heritage Museum, the staff is welcoming and very helpful. So much to see and take in, if there is a lecture when you visit I highly recommend it. The flight simulators are a wonderful experience, as is the smokeless firing range, oh the 3D experience is very special and highly recommended.Written February 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Erin LCape Coral, FL8 contributionsLove how much this sanctuary cares for these animals that were previously in very sad and unfortunate situations! Its not too expensive and the cost goes to feed and care for the animals anyway so every penny is worth it! Staff is super friendly and they all are volunteers that truly care!Written June 21, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- danrR758FHColorado Springs, CO18 contributionsA pleasant walk through the waters and the native fauna of Florida. Small wildlife abounds, but you have to be observant, quiet, and pace yourself to see all that is around you. The Only cost is your gas getting there.Written December 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- keenie2015Jefferson City, MO21 contributionsAmazing park situated on the Harbor Walk in Punta Gorda. Pickle ball court, children's playground, and shelter houses.

- Leslie H1 contributionThis is a very beautiful walking or biking path. We ride this several days a week starting from History Park. It has two parts both starting at fisherman’s village. There is 2 1/2 miles along Charlotte Harbor another 1 1/2 miles the other direction through the parks. We often continue our ride to Ponce de leon park and eat lunch on the beach. 13 miles round trip. One of our favorite places in beautiful Punta Gorda.Written September 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CWillisonLexington, KY100 contributionsHad a glorious few hours walking through the gardens and seeing the unique sculptures. The butterfly house is ready to burst with butterflies! So much beauty in the flowers, trees, and bushes—temperature in the 70s with a soft breeze. Perfect for being outside!
Gift shop had nice variety of items and snacks.Written December 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We saw wild pugs, cracker cattle, wild turkeys, deer and sandhill cranes. This tour is priced well, and suitable for all ages 4 to 100. This was our second visit bringing family and we all enjoyed it.Written March 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michelle G1 contributionVisited the market held in this park last Sunday. The market was relaxed and easy going. No traffic or hustle and bustle to distract from great vendors, live music, and lots of shade to get out of the sun.Written September 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- J KWest Lafayette, IN33 contributionsWith seven of us, including 2 young children, we opted to take the guided tour. We were not disappointed Anna did a great job and was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour was highly interactive and we got to see all of the animals up close and in most cases we were able to feed and/or touch the animals. Never at any point was there any concern for safety for ourselves or the animals. Anna did a great job managing the animals and ensuring that the younger kids were safe. I'd recommend anybody visiting the area to visit IguanaLand. Their work in conservation and education are quite admirable. Thanks for a great experience.Written January 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
