“fun-filled manatee education”
The Manatee Observation & Education Center is a fun-filled, family-friendly, environmentally based education center that celebrates Florida’s incomparable natural resources and wildlife! Our goal is Education! How do we accomplish it? By offering many unique experiences through a variety of programs including touch tank demonstrations, fascinating programs, summer camps, monthly lecture series, workshops, special events, and so much more! Are you looking for something fun and out-of-the-hot sun! Then look no further. Stop by the Manatee Center to check out our aquariums, educational exhibits, and amazing gift shop!
They thought of everything here! There are solar phone chargers, electric car chargers, local art work, a native flower garden maintained by volunteers for butterflies, and the gift shop is filled with awesome stuff unlike tourist shops everywhere else. The women who run this place should be running the state of Florida! Very impressive
Great staff, full of interesting facts. Only $1 to enter! Some in our group were done in 5 minutes, others wandered for 45 minutes. Didn’t see any manatees but we were there on a hot hot day at the hottest time, probably would’ve had better luck in the a.m.
