The kids had a blast, we only saw one manatee and it's baby but it was still a beautiful experience! Cheap to get in and there's plenty of parking. Fun playground. The store is highway robbery so that's where you lost a star! ⭐ You'll need to pack your own beverages and food! Great family fun.

It's beautiful, I saw a lot of wild animals and took amazing pictures. It was easy to park and then walk around. I gave only 3 stars because when we paid the entrance we weren't told that we couldn't walk till the actual springs as the path is closed for works. It was very disappointing!

Amazing place to visit. Take a boat tour, fish, kayak, snorkel, swim and enjoy the wildlife. There are manatees there this time of year. Definitely work the admission fee!!

When the weather is cold, it’s a fun place to see manatee swimming around

An incredible experience for only $6! We’ll worth it to come see the manatees. We went yesterday and the manatee count was 384. They said it had doubled since the previous day. No swimming is allowed since the manatees are coming in now, but you can walk to many vantage points including right at the water lever to see the manatees. The park is picturesque and the gift shop has items for al budgets. I’m so glad we went and I recommend it to everyone!
