This is such a fun little nature center! They have a ton of kids activities. The inside has a great little gift shop, as well as a dozen or so different species of different snakes, turtles, alligators, and other creatures. Also has a great playground and lots of trails right next to it. You dont have to be a guest or resident of the island to go, just let them know at the gate where you're headed.

We just did the twilight paddling tour—Abby and Sofia were awesome! They were so kind and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. We were lucky enough to be in a small group and had some great conversations. We even got to see some dolphins! We were so glad to meet these awesome naturalists and we hope to come back soon!

What a cute little nature center! The naturalist on our bird walk told us about the alligator hatchlings. They were not out when we visited, and the staff brought them out because we were so interested. So thoughtful and nice of them! Stop by if you want to see the cutest little alligator babies 🐊

Did at the pools is limited but what they do have is very good and portion size is fair. There are 2 pools a family pool and a kids pool. The family pool is large with ample seating. Only about 1/3 has shade. The kids pool is not an infant pool but rather a activity pool with sliders and a splash zone. The whole thing is kept clean. During day hours you show your key and they give you as many towels as you want. They are large and soft. So unless your towel is also your support blanket leave them at the house. There is a life guard in the kids pool but not the family pool. Floats are allowed in the family pool I don't know about...
