WILL N0T EVER G0 BACK!
By ,
First off the website does portray any true facts at all. its says it c0st $4 bucks for adults and really its $9 and $6 for kids 3 and up. We drove all the way from jacksonville Florida and its was a bust. It rained the animals looked sick and were trying to hide. the map they gave us said the all the trail but one were closed . it also said it had a broadwalk which it turns out was still being built while we were there. the butterfly exibit had all of 3 in it and they were the same. it was a complete waste of time and money. i would not recommend to anyone ever. The wesite maybe it seem like it was better the going to a zoo and it was farely cheap untli you get there and see all the lies. good luck if you do go i hope you have a better time then we did. oh yea by the way the snake cage with the underwear in it was very dissappointing. you guys should do a better job cleaning the tanks out before the kids see it.

Great Nature Experience
By ,
I would recommend the Calusa Nature center to all who like animals and the great outdoors. The walking trails are very nice. You can get a family pass for a year for about $40, not bad for all of the extra activities that they have throughout the year.

Great for Eight!
By ,
I thought this was a great place! Small but filled with lots to do; nature trails, animal shows where you get to see and touch them up close, planetarium shows, a butterfly aviary, and they take care of animals that cannot take care of themselves. It only costs 8$ for adults and you can easily spend 1/2 day or more.

Waste of money
By ,
If you like boredom then this is the place for you. Its a below avg. nature trail and all the normal animals you can see at a petco big deal. Except they have 1 alligator 1 bob cat and about 6 big birds. Never will go there again. If you want to see a real one go to jungle garden in sarasota fl. 1000 times beter and only 1hr away.
