gumbo limbo nature center印象

This place is both educational and fun, a great place to bring your kids. I have been here several times, once for a festival and twice for turtle events. They have some fascinating aquariums in the back as well as tanks for turtle rehab. There are also some short nature trails and an observation tower. Don't forget to leave a small donation.

A volunteer at the Loggerhead Marine Life Center at Juno Beach suggested we visit the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton. A great suggestion! In this center we also saw sea turtles that had been rescued and were being nursed back to health before hopefully being released in the ocean. We also saw a volunteer feeding various types of fish in a tank. After feeding them, he described the different types of fish in the tank and also explained why one lone turtle was also among them. He was a born teacher.This center is larger than the Loggerhead Center but they both complement one another very well. The volunteers were extremely good.

Gumbo Limbo Nature Center offers educational programs and exhibits which highlight some of Florida's most popular flora and fauna. They have an ongoing sea turtle rescue program which is truly impressive. It was a great spot to learn and enjoy!

This is a fantastic place I have been coming to for years. They have improved it a lot recently and I love coming here to visit. The staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to answer questions. This is a free attraction but they suggest a $5 donation which everyone should do! They do great work for the local wildlife and community!

The exhibits of the fish, turtles, snakes were nice. We were hoping to take the boardwalk tour, but it is closed as "unsafe" and no estimated time of repair and availability. Personally, we learned a lot about the sea-turtle rescue efforts and conditions afflicting the turtles and how they are managed. The volunteers there are happy to engage visitors and answer questions.

This is a small nature center geared for younger kids. There is an observation tower that kids will enjoy climbing. We attended on the Sunday before Presidents' Day and the center was very crowded and parking was difficult.

We LOVE Gumbo Limbo!! My kids ask to visit the fish and turtles all the time. The indoor exhibits of the sea horses and snakes are also very interesting. The staff are very informative and we always learn something new about the marine life. Thanks for keeping up such a wonderful place!

You have to go to this place at feeding time. It is truly amazing watching all the little and big fish eat away at the food. But, don't just go for that. I totally recommend that you ask the staff questions, they are so knowledgeable, and you will learn tonnes from them! Seeing turtles up close was fantastic. We walked around with a 6 month old, we had the stroller for most of it, and it was fine. Special mention for the butterfly garden which was lovely.

Gumbo Limbo was great. We stopped in with our 2 young kids and they enjoyed seeing the rescued turtles swimming in the tanks. This place rescues salt water turtles, gives them well-maintained tanks to swim in, and provides guests with a much-appreciated covered viewing area. The tanks are out of the hot sun and have windows on the side so kids and adults who bend down can see right inside. Schools of small fish swim by, sometimes you can see some rays here, and the staff is very helpful as well as polite.Parking is somewhat limited. You only need an hour or two to see the whole facility, but call ahead and ask if there is a specific time of day that they're feeding the fish or turtles. We ended up missing that during our visit.

A wonderful place to see turtles and other fish. Walk the paths and enjoy. Climb the tower and see the intracoastal and the sea to take great pictures.
