My my wife and I were able to visit the refuge in April. It offers miles of roads to drive as part of its wildlife auto tour. Merritt Island NWR is located on the eastern shore of Florida, the headquarters is located near the City of Titusville. This NWR was established in 1963 to primarily provide habitat for migratory birds. The day we visited was windy and rainy, so we stopped first at the Visitor Center to pick up some souvenirs, see the exhibits and talk with the volunteer staff first hand. We thoroughly enjoyed the auto tour and walking on the beach as we got to see several kinds of birds and small animals. This refuge offers fishing, wildlife viewing, bird watching, hiking, great photographic opportunities and hunting. Come and bring your family (especially children), binoculars, camera, and see what this wonderful area of Florida has to offer. This is a very peaceful and tranquil place to visit. You can walk for hours along the beach, enjoying the birds circle over head and the mullet jumping hoping to avoid the predators below. Watch where you step as alligators are everywhere.

Wonderful relaxing drive through to enjoy and educate yourselves on our migrating birds and other wildlife. Please keep your pets at home. There are many very large Alligators that would love to have a meal. Children need to keep voices down and be supervised by adults. This is not a playground. There are many professional nationwide photographers and artists that travel to enjoy our wetlands. Please respect their space and our wildlife too.

Barrier Island Center was a great place for viewing sea turtles. The center is well kept and all the people are very nice. There is also a nice wildlife sanctuary right across A1A. This is a family-friendly place.

We happened across this wildlife drive by chance. We really enjoyed the drive. Take a camera, binoculars and a lot of patience. I think it's about a 12 mile drive that you'll not want to go over 5 mph just to see all the wildlife. There are a few hiking trails that you will not want to pass up. You'll need to look closely, but many of them are hiding. We countless alligators, many varieties of birds including two bald eagles, fish, and wild boar. It is a one way single lane road. There are opportunities for you to pull to the side of the road and let other cars pass you as you enjoy stopping to search for more 'gators and view so many different kinds of birds. There is a $10/car fee, but they do allow entrance for people with national park passes.
10. Wild Horse Rescue Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 10 reviews
Wild Horse Rescue Center rescues and rehabilitates abused and neglected horses of the breed mustang. Wild mustangs are rounded up and then sold - while completely wild. We rescue, nurse them back to health, socialize and train them so they can be adopted. Visitors will get a hands on experience with these horses through socializing, lunch and a trail ride. We have about 30 horses at any point.
