We wanted something other than a traditional zoo and we love dolphins so decided to head here. We really enjoyed all of the animals from the sea lions and sea turtles to the incredible dolphins and their amazing trainers!! You could tell these women truly love what they do and it was so much fun to watch the dolphin show and really grasp just how intelligent these creatures really are. Fun for all ages!!

Beautiful camellias and majestic oaks abound in this old, established park! A lovely brick path meanders next to a stunning lake and leads to the old homestead that is open January till April. The reflecting pond is beautiful and is surrounded by grand, enormous camellia bushes. The gated garden with the fountain and sculptures is very picturesque reminiscent of a European garden. In addition, there are many hiking trails in the park. Very peaceful escape from hustle and bustle.

The massive Live Oak is the coolest part of the grounds. The cottage also looks like something out of a fairytale. The driveway was gated and there was a sign that said private property but everything online says it’s available to the public to visit. Looks like other people have also ran into the same thing. There was a car parked near the cottage but I didn’t see anyone on the grounds.

Near the gulf and the historic Pensacola Village is this pocket park filled with beautiful live oaks dripping with spanish moss. There's a lovely contrast between the sunshine and the deep shade of the trees. Peaceful area to walk or sit.
