Good tour of the nuclear plant and how it works. The real thing here is the walking tours of the sea turtles in the summer..(july or even june). You need to make a reservation during these months.Also many times manatees hang out in the warm water discharge areas of these plants in the cold winters so you can see 50 or more with babies when they are around.Not a typical tourist attraction but very cool.

I booked a reservation for the FP&L Port St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant turtle walk held by reservation one month in advance from June to July. FP&L has their own staff biologists who conduct this walk permitted through the state. There is a 2 1/2 mile undeveloped beach in front of the nuclear power plant which has a high concentration of nesting turtles due to being undeveloped. As soon as the spotter on the beach located an approaching turtle, we headed to the beach to witness this spectacular event. It is amazing that a 250-300 lb. animal can manuever so easily through the sand! It was a truly awesome sight!I always wonder when I read how states (like my home state of Texas) have continual problems with their nuclear power plants and Florida seems to be in a separate category from everyone else. All three of the Florida nuclear power plants have some threatened/endangered species on their premises - why is it other states can't seem to follow that example????

Lots of hands on activities. Fun for my 4 year old and 9 year old. More like a children's science museum than I had initially expected and free!

I go the the power plane every summer for the turtle walks. They are EXCELLENT. They are informative and especially important for children to learn about protecting endangered species. FP&L does an amazing job for sea turtle conservation - and they do it for free. I love it.

This is a real deal for the science minded teenager

The beaches can be nice but its hit or miss to find showers and restroom.

"Great exhibits for children and basic info on nuclear power. Would be really nice to visit during turtle season to see the nesting turtles.

Took the girl scout troop here - a really interesting tour, fun and informative.

I was really looking forward to the Energy Encounter center. I called twice and got a message machine giving me the hours for that day. We drove 30 minutes to get there to find out the place was closed for the week. So, unless you can find a real person to talk to, don't believe any message you hear.Poor customer service!

Hands on learning tour about how energy is processed and how it powers our homes.Children love learning about the process.I believe FPL has closed this attraction since our visit.
