The Wetlands Institute

We loved our visit to The Wetlands Institute!  The staff were truly outstanding and gave us good,  informative information on our visit.  The grounds are lovely and there is a lot to see and experience packed into this place!  The lecture on horseshoe crabs was interesting and our daughter loved the wetlands walk and the aquarium exhibits.  We loved the view from the top portico overlooking the Wetlands.  There is a small gift shop here as well.  The Wetlands Institute made for a nice excursion on our vacation and gave us something to do on a rainy day!

This was a fun place to visit and learn more about the wetlands and its wildlife. Friendly and helpful staff. Thirteen aquariums with various creatures like eels, dogfish, shrimp, seahorses and an octopus which proved to be most entertaining. There was a discovery area with information on Terrapins and horseshoe crabs. If you're up to it, there was a steep spiral staircase to an observation deck on top the roof overlooking the wetlands. Prices during our visit were $7 for seniors, $8 adults/teens, $6 children 3-12, children under 2 - Free. This admission includes all the areas above. Outside is a walk over the wetlands on a boardwalk path. This is included in the above admission fee or for a suggested donation of $3 if you don't pay to view the inside areas. We visited in the afternoon for nearly 1.5 hours.

It was gorgeous, and you can definitely tell that the workers care about what they're doing! Can't wait to go back however I must warn you all! Bring bug spray because you will be attacked by bugs-
Absolutely worth going, keep up the good work!

a great spot for all ages! the wetlands are beautiful, and there are so many creatures to explore in the aquarium portion. the staff are very knowledgeable!

It’s a nice place to take kids or adults by a car or a bus. They have a ramp for handicap and a
small gift shop. The place has a salt marsh aquarium & teaching tank. They have science activities and crafts. They have picnic tables. You can use your phone to listen to talks about
Creatures and flowers outside. They are open over the weekends from Nov.- May then everyday the rest of the year. The people that work there are great at teaching you about the
animals. The Cape May Free Zoo is not far so take a picnic lunch for a fun day!

VINS Nature Center

We were excited to get out on a sunny fall day and see some raptors. Entry fee was $19. If you're a senior you save a dollar. There are shows throughout the day but we never caught one. Lots of walking trails and the Canopy walk was definitely worth the trip. Very cool. Other than that it was a little underwhelming for us. Sure, seeing the raptors up close was very cool. A little sad too though knowing they had been injured and now must be in an enclosure for the rest of their lives. I understand that it is an educational tool. And speaking of educational, there were numerous groups of kids around who were extremely loud and disrespectful. I heard one tattling on another for spitting off the Canopy Walk. Really?

This is a beautiful nature center with exceptional interactive and exciting educational programs and humane ethics toward the birds they rehabilitate. They offer an array of interesting sculpture, a wonderful gift shop, and an inspiring canopy walk. Highly recommended for everyone, including families with children.

We recently moved to the area and being animal lovers we HAD to check VINS out! What an amazing facility, the exhibits were clean, the birds all looked healthy/happy with plenty of enrichment items in their enclosures. Some of the trails were closed due to the threat of flooding, totally understandable, we already have plans to come back in the fall. The boardwalk through the forest is lovely! Well built and well maintained, the spiders web/net was a blast! My 5 year old loved it! We also really enjoyed the turtle walk and raptor program!

I came here on a dreary day, and I still had an amazing time!  They have an area to view the birds - eagles, hawks, owls, crows, ravens, songbirds, and even some gorgeous Bluejays!  They have a good amount of walking trails through the forest that are easily maneuvered.  Their forest canopy walk is a bunch of fun! They even have an area with fairy homes and have the option to make your own!
I love how all of their birds are not releasable - so it truly is an incredible place!  I will be returning, and I highly recommend others visit this amazing center!

I thought this place was really fun and a great place for kids. It was fun seeing all the birds and learning about them as well. I’m only giving 4 stars cause there were so many kids that weren’t being respectful and pushed into me while I was going down from the tree top view with my 8 month old son in my hands, as well as other parts of the place we couldn’t enjoy because other children weren’t willing to share the space. Not really the businesses fault though, that’s more a lack of supervision on the parents but still made the experience less enjoyable.

Loggerhead Marinelife Center

Wonderful family experience! The center was donation entrance fee only, not the $6 advertised which might put people off with large families like ours. We all left a donation and bought a bunch of stuff from one of the best gift shops I've seen in a while. There are wonderful jellyfish aquariums and seahorse aquariums up the ramps, so don't miss them. The six kids with us had a blast doing the fish drawing activity on the digital screen on the wall. When we were there, they pulled the huge turtle out of his tank and transported him on a stretcher, to the small hospital at the center. The kids were so amazed to see the turtle's size. The staff walking around the place were educating the kids and a joy to talk to. Definitely bring the kids. Our family had a blast!

Love this place! Such great conservation and education environmental programs and standards! Truly a cool experience - & it is free!!! Definitely a great place to give donations to since what they do to rehabilitate and teach is phenomenal. The interactive screens are so much fun - especially building your own fish!!! Did I mention the awesome stuff in the gift shop? Another great stop on your way out.

I love this place. Although it's not big, it was still a great experience to see and listen to all the stories of the sea turtles they helped save and recover on site. Kids will love this place but also adults if you love marine turtles as much as I do. They also have small exhibits of fish and even jellyfish which was cool. I highly recommend if you are in the area to check this place out!

An amazing place to visit! Relaxing, easy flow, lots to learn and fit just keeps getting better around every turn. The volunteers are extremely friendly and passionate.

We really enjoyed our visit to the loggerhead marine life center. They are non profit and free to enter. Anyone who would like to donate there are options to donate. There were 12 turtles patients and going thru treatments. We experienced turtle feeding and enjoyed learning about their habitat. Not just kids but adults can also learn more at this center if you like turtles.

Yesteryear Village

U.B.Kinsey/Palmview Elementary 4th and 5th grade artists spent a wonderful day here. Their field trip experience not only allowed them to draw and paint pictures of the buildings, but they were allowed to go inside many of them as well.

a really good organization. It is traditionally done and you should definitely come. It allows you to spend a wonderful day for the children and you. Thank you to everyone who is organizing. but I have a small note; You should reach this organization to a wider audience.

Amazing first visit! Definitely recommend. Jim at The Riddle House was awesome. He provided a walkthrough of the house. His explanation and knowledge really brought you back in time. The ladies that showed us the butter making OMG it was delicious.. Made me want to come home and make my own. Overall wonderful experience and will be coming back again.

Very nice place to take the family and go back in time, learn about history and how things started here in Florida.

There are several replicas of buildings from the early 1700’s, 1800’s and some original buildings that were transferred there, which includes an old school,, a general store, blacksmith shop and other houses. They have a museum too, a general store for shopping and a lot of information to learn about the early days in Florida.

We visited for Halloween, and in each station (house) they had candy  for the kids, and they had a booklet to stamp with each stop to collect a big prize at the end.
It was very entertaining and we learned a lot!
I was transported in time specially at the old school!

We were here for the steampunk weekend was a blast

Sandoway Discovery Center

Fun adventure with the kids. They have a variety of animals to view such as lizards, snakes, frogs, fish, turtles, rays, and sharks. Out of all the animals to view our kids spent the most time exploring the vast sea shell display and the nice butterfly garden. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable with any questions we had. We recommend this place as something different to explore without having a huge price attached to it.  Bonus: Beach is right across the road with public access so easy to step over to get out of the sun for a couple hours or head to the beach after.

Cute , fun and friendly space for kids to be hands on and see a small variety of animals! Shark room was under refurbishing which was a negative but the feeding was fun to watch. Petting the rays, turtle and snake was fun!

My son loves to come here. The animals are great and the staff always interact with the kids and make the experience better. The shark feedings are awesome and where else can you spend an afternoon petting stingrays?!

This used to be one of my favorite places to visit. They used to have a nurse shark named “Norman” in the back pool. Unfortunately, as they were doing some construction to his pool, Norman died. I don’t know why they would allow his pool to be worked on as he was still in it.
Anyway, I took a few friends here to visit the adorable shark and we were told that he was “taken to another facility and will be back”, which was confirmed to be a lie. They have a new shark now. Rip Norman ❤️

This was a cute lil experience for my daughter. We love the stingray touch tank. If you have a membership to the Cox Science Museum you get a $3 discount on your ticket.

Hotel Geneve Mexico City

Though I wasn't a guest at the hotel, I visited it for the day, as it has a small museum.

It was truly a great experience as it feels as though one was travelling back in time. Amazing places to walk around, many antiques all over the place to see and enjoy. The restaurant is perfect for a quick bite.
I would recommend it to anyone who is passionate about the 1910's-1920's.

This is a wonderful hotel.  It is full of history and character. The staff is very good.  I really enjoyed all the displays in the lobby and the beautiful decor.  The hotel opened around the turn of the century and they have managed to keep the history and feeling of the hotel while completely updating it for the modern life style.  My room was spacious and comfortable.

Spent a week in this hotel and loved it. Such a fun hotel in a great location.

One caution: I had a room facing an interior courtyard.  This was great for me, since it was much quieter than a room facing the surrounding busy area would have been, but didn't feel as sunny and spacious as an exterior room would have.  The area is a busy area full of people which is fun, and I personally would stay here again in the same room, but some people might prefer something different.

Historic hotel,, Lobby and the courtyard at the back look beautiful and the staff are very courteous. Great location and a lot of bars and restaurants nearby. Still secure and good.

But the rooms and bathrooms definitely need an upgrade.
Overall, happy customer

3 Star hotel disguised as 5 by a pretty lobby and friendly staff.

Rooms and wifi leave MUCH to be desired. Shower is very small and floods the bathroom floor. The carpets are old and the room had a strange smell.
The air-conditioning does not work well and smells like it has a gas leak (rotton eggs)...

Gumbo Limbo Nature Center

This was our 3rd visit here. The place is so beautiful!  There’s so much nature and wildlife to see. We went early and were treated with several banana spiders, orb Weavers, crabs,woodpecker and a raccoon on the trail.
The nature center itself is so well kept, beautiful sea life to enjoy.

The staff are incredibly nice and helpful. We learn so much every time.

This place is a free gem. A quick walk across A1A from the Atlantic Ocean. The aquatic nature center is Interesting and informative for kids, adults and seniors. Fish of all sizes and species are freely swimming in large aquarium tanks or pools. Small seahorses and other aquatic life are on display in an indoor lab. Students from the FAU School of Environmental, Coastal, and Ocean Sustainability (ECOS) are available to answer questions. It was a windy day when I visited, so there was no activity in the  butterfly area.

Another great place to visit by the beach! For the kiddos and teens and adults! All about sea turtle  conservation!! See all the Turtles being cared for and those that could not be returned to the wild! Also a Butterfly Garden and boardwalk nature trail. Free admission, accept  donations. Gift shop on site.

Great place to visit with kids, to learn about sea life and have fun for a couple of hours.

The boardwalk is a great experience to get  into the natural Floridian vegetation (don't know if you can call it a forest).

The fish tanks are great because they have big windows where kids can enjoy the experience. I recommend to visit just before midday, because the feed the fishes at 12:30.

The Florida Atlantic University have a lab there, where you can learn about the life circle of sea turtles.

There is also a butterfly garden with a path where kids can run around (there are some mosquitos so be aware).

Absolutely so much fun! Adults and children both can enjoy! They have huge, huge tanks with all sorts of fish that come straight up to the window and tanks with baby sea turtles that they are nursing and protecting. There's a cute little gift sho other I fell in love with. Everything from necklaces, bracelets, shark teeth, turtle trinkets, and more. I had an absolute ball coming here. Come support this place!

Seacoast Science Center

We showed up an hour before close, and honestly, that's all you really need to get through the exhibits. Especially if you have younger children who don't want to hang around and read all the info.
They are Blue Star affiliated, which I just learned means AD military plus 5 guests get in for free, so that was a nice surprise.
The touch pools are really entertaining with sea stars, crabs, sea snails, etc.  My kids enjoyed this part the best and spent the most time here. They also do presentations. We caught the last one on the lobster, and it was informative and interactive. At the end, the children were allowed to go up and touch one.
The center is located inside the state park, so you need to pay for parking. I believe it's per person in the vehicle, I can't remember, but the total for 2 adults and 3 children was 12 dollars. Once you finish the center you can walk around the park. They have a good sized play ground, a food truck, picnic tables, and a wonderful view of the coast. My kids loved searching through the rocks. Overall, it was a great visit.

Great little spot with wonderful staff! My kids (5 and 2) could have dug for hours in the sand area and played all day with the boat and lobster trap. The park it's in is beautiful and has a good playground too!

We took our granddaughters to the Seacoast Science Center in Rye for an educational trip.  Lots of things for them to see, touch, and explore. The staff was very helpful and friendly as they interacted with the many children there. Lots to learn about the ocean. Well worth a visit!

Fun exploration place for kids with marine life. the place is not big but quite enough to keep kids engaged and learn something new.

There is a state park fee for entering plus the admission fee.
Whats more is there is a small playground just a few steps away outside of the science building.

We had the best wedding at the Seacoast Science Center! It's truly a blank canvas you can use to make your dreams come true! There are some state park restrictions but the amazing event manager there, Hollie, helped us through those every step of the way. The venue was beautiful and all of our guests and vendors were blown away by it. The amazing staff at the science center were so helpful day of to, making sure things went off without a hitch! I would highly recommend this venue.

Maine Military Museum & Learning Center

I loved this place! If anyone is interested in History, this place is a must-seen considered! The veterans, who own the museum, were gentle and talkative about historical topics referring the US military history and US-Albania relationship. Thank you for your time. Gary, a student majored in History in AUBG, from Albania!

Wonderful private museum full of good artifacts and many stories tied to those items.  Owner is a passionate and knowledgeable guide who keeps the museum in excellent condition.

You walk into the first room which looks like a banquet hall with the military items displayed on the wall. Then you realize there are more rooms, especially the main display room with oodles and oodles of cool stuff.

The best experience is to hang with either Lee, the owner, or one of his friends as they will walk you around telling firsthand stories and stories of various exhibit donors. The collection of items is phenomenal, but being exposed to men with these stories makes this one of the best.

If you can, go on a Saturday and you may get lucky to meet one of few remaining WWII vets visiting. He lives nearby and comes often. And he has items on display.

Definitely the type of museum worth visiting multiple times.

We stayed via Harvest Hosts and they request $20 donation which we felt was more than worth it. It is an amazing museum for those with that interest and full of original memorabilia; quite a collection. Make sure to get the tour for the full experience and many stories; Lee is the best for tours. However, be prepared for an emotional experience as well. The horrors of war.

It is a lot more than modest!! Lee Humiston hit the ball out of the park. The displays are fantastic, his knowledge of the displays is right on and the whole experience was just great. Jim

Mr. Drew Exotic Animal Education Center

Brought my two boys and their cousin here today!  I have to say this place exceeded all our expectations!  All the staff were very welcoming and informative!  It was a very hands on experience, with the boys being able to hold, touch and feed some of the animals.  You can tell everyone there really care and love the animals.  Loved meeting Mr Drew.  He explained to the boys what gems and treasures they found in the digging sand room!  And they ended doing a craft!  Great experience and will definitely be back!  10 out of 10 recommended!

We brought our lil girl for her birthday and all 3 of us had an amazing visit! Mr. Drew was there and was able to add a couple special lil moments to make her birthday special. It’s a great thing they do for the animals, not only rescuing, but rehabilitate and make whatever accommodations they may need. The entire staff seems to have a lot of knowledge on nearly any critter too. I’d recommend setting aside at least a hour as there is a LOT to see/ pat/ hold/ feed. Such a great local place to visit, we’re looking forward to coming back as new critters arrive and excited to watch this place grow! Highly recommended for all ages!

Amazing education center!
The staff is all wonderful and friendly!
Touched a snake for the first time and saw an axolotl in person! So cool!
Cant wait to go back again soon!

My daughter and I went today for $10 each, so $20. She is only two, but there was plenty for her to explore and do here. All the staff was super inviting and interactive. We were there for probably two hours, but it was such a relaxed environment I felt like we could’ve stayed all day. We got to dig for rocks and gems, color, play with magnets, read books, go in the tortoise pen, pet lizards, and more. 10 out of 10 highly recommend to anyone with children.

Had a stop in and my daughter just loved it. Most of the animals are rescues for various reasons. Lots of fun to be had here. It is apparent that Mr. Drew loves introducing children to his animals and helping them learn, too!
