We saw lots of birds, alligators and the tour guide was very informative. I highly recommended for adults not do much for little kids, they get bored after a while.

Manatees live here in the winter; being from Nebraska, it was a thrill to get to see them! $6 entry fee per car; worth every penny. Nice river walk to see manatees, birds and local flora. There are restrooms, a gift shop, and nature boat cruises on the St. Johns River. We didn't do the cruises, but they looked like fun! Busy on weekends; go as early as you can to get good parking, though the manatees were more visible after the sun was a bit higher in the sky (10 AM in February.)
