Nature Center

Hey, kids - tired of hearing "just look, don't touch"? Well, here's your chance to have a "hands on" encounter with Mother Nature. Tickle a turtle. Stroke a snake. Cuddle a crab. Get up close to a gator. And that's just for starters. The marsh, beach and tidal river will be your playground... so grab a bucket, find a net, take off your shoes and jump right in. It's great fun (and you might learn something, too!).
