Turtles, Sharks, and Fish, Oh My!!!!
By ,
What a wonderful place to visit with the family or a date, or just by yourself. Beautiful boardwalk, saw butterflies, spiders, racoons, mangrove trees. You never know what you'll see each time you go. Several aquariums, and holding tanks with sharks, rays, eels, sea turtles, and much more. Asking for a small donation of $3. Can't beat that deal. I go everytime I come down to Boca Raton to visit the folks. Go to Gumbo Limbo, you won't be disappointed.

Gumbo Limbo Nature Center.Fun and educational
By ,
Yesterday we spend a pleasant hour at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. We took the short hike along the Boardwalk through the Mangrove Hammock which was pretty cool. On the walk there is a 3 story wooden tower that you can walk up and be above the tree line. Back at the nature center we visited the outdoor tanks with sea turtles and fish. We found the volunteers to be pleasant, helpful and informative. It is a nice place to visit. The cost is 3 dollars suggested donation per person.

Unhappy visiter/Teacher
By ,
I love the place, I have been taking my children there for the past 7yrs,all 20 of them ( I'm a teacher).But unfortunatley the people that work there are very rude and not friendly at all. What bothers me most is the managment must be ok with this problem as it has been the same for years, I tolerate it because it is a good educational expieriance for my children,If not for the children I would not return. So how about it guys give your staff some training on friendliness and manners when dealing with the public.And Volanteers if you don't want to do the job find something that does'nt deal with the public and children it can hurt a childs esteem when they are snapped at when asking Questions.

Great place, awful people
By ,
It's a beautiful place but the people who work their are very unpleasant. A couple of volunteers and one female employee were either unhelpful or just plain rude. I won't be going back.
