10 Educational sites in Florida That You Shouldn't Miss

September 27, 2021 Trinity Boughner

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

Marine Science Center

At the Marine Science Center our main goal is rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick and injured turtles and birds. You can see our sea turtle patients from the turtle terrace and get a behind the scenes view through the hospital viewing window. In the gallery, guests will also take a journey through Florida marine ecosystems discovering the animals that are indigenous to this area. A hands-on experience awaits you at our stingray and invertebrate touch tanks. Explore the nature trail and climb the observation tower for views of the estuary. Don't forget to walk through the Mary Keller Bird Sanctuary. Here you will see our permanent resident birds that can no longer live in the wild. We offer daily animal education presentations where you will experience up close views of raptors and reptiles. Call for daily presentation times.

If you have young kids or even teenagers, this is a nice, educational opportunity to experience some marine life like sea turtles and sting rays, lion horses , an octopus and other kids of fish. This rehabilitation center is very fun to learn about how the center rehabs these animals. The kids also get to feed them with the assistance of the workers . Great experience and the cost is a bargain! $5 for adults and $2-3 for children. The venue is small , can get crowded at times, parking is a bit challenging to find , a small gift shop also; otherwise a must go even for adults. I’d give it a 4.5 star out of 5 only bc of parking.

Staff naturalists educate visitors while rehabilitating sick animals.

Reviewed By sonyaf431 - Jupiter, United States

Great free activity (suggest to leave a donation though) for families and people of all ages. Since it is a wildlife hospital too, some animals are off-exhibit from the public, but it is still a lot of fun and the staff is more than willing to talk to you and even take out an owl or hawk to take pictures up close. We really liked the giant tortoises too. They were doing construction when we visited so the pelicans weren't out, but you can tell donations are going to a great cause. We saw someone bring in a baby bunny that they helped. There's also some picnic tables so you could bring lunch.
