Received this gift from dear friends when I retired last year and finally took the tour. What a great experience. I have lived in Nassau County for 24 years and always wanted to visit this place. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Very bumpy ride to the plantation as well as to the start of the tour. This aggravated my disabled husband's back issues and Troy from the staff drive him in a van to/from the tour to reduce his discomfort. Liz and her trainee Lynn were personable as well as extremely knowledgeable about the animals and birds and answered everyone's questions thoroughly. Boxed Lunch in Gilman Hall was delicious and more than filling. Reservations are a must! This facility is doing fantastic work with 33 different species of birds and animals. Got to see cheetah cubs, feed the giraffes and pet a white rhino plus do much more!

How could anyone offer a negative review with a non profit organization that saves and protects these wonderful lions and tigers.
The presentation was wonderful.
The small cost of admission is going into a complete renovation of this facility.
I have every intention of adopting at least one of these wonderful cats.

The Florida Welcome Center is a really nice Welcome Center. All states should have Welcome Centers like this. They serve free orange (or grapefruit) juice in the Center. All of the staff was VERY FRIENDLY and quite willing to provide help. The Center has a ton a literature - organized by the appropriate region of Florida - to help you plan your activities in Florida.
The Welcome Center was very clean and the staff was very helpful. Good first impression / good welcome to the State of Florida.

Truly a quaint park with nice facilities for picnicking, hiking and learning about nature.
Staff is super friendly. And the feature my wife and I enjoyed most was the cute 18 hole miniature golf course.
A turtle family was living under the 2nd hole and came out to forage while we were there on several occasions.

Went redfishing with Capt. Kevin on Tuesday after 3 straight days of a Noreaster. Kevin put us on a honey hole and all four of us caught redfish throughout the tide, including these two hogs! Each of these fish took 10 minutes to land in two feet of water. What a blast! The boat was comfortable and Capt. Kevin a great host and patient mentor. Date of trip, 4/23/13. Thanks, Capt. Kevin!
