Nature Exhibits

 Green Cay Wetlands in western Boynton Beach is the perfect spot to view Florida native plants and animals.  It is a photogrpahers dream and they come in droves to photograph some spectacular scenes.  The boardwalk takes you from the nature center in a couple of different length loops.  There are pavillions for seating and shade as well as a few canopy walks that are covered.  The only restrooms and drinking fountains are at the nature center so be sure to take advantage of them before heading out, especially with little ones.

Arthur R. Marshall  Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge is run by the US Department of Fish & Wildlife located in western Boynton Beach off Lee Rd.  It is adjacent to the Bedners Farmer Fresh Market on State Road 441.

Gumbo Limbo Nature Center is located in southeast Boca Raton.  It is a 20 acres protected barrier island area that provides refuge to many varieties of plants and animals - some rare or endangered.  Guests can enjoy a boardwalk trail that features coastal Mangroves and a wooden observation tower as well as live aquatic exhibits and interactive nature center exhibits.

Okeeheelee Nature Center features 2.5 miles of trails winding through 90 acres of pine flatwoods and wetlands. Highlights of the center include hands-on exhibits, animal encounters and a nature related gift shop. Marvel at birds of prey, touch a live snake or prowl for owls during one of the many programs scheduled throughout the year for families, youth and adults.

Daggerwing Nature Center in western Boca Raton is a beautiful nature center with trails and observation tower behind. Become acquainted with the fauna and wildlife of South Florida while taking a walk along the boardwalk. Bring sun protection as the majority of the trail is not shaded at all. The observation tower is a fun climb but, like all wooden towers, can sway a bit in a breeze so if you're at all afraid of heights, skip it.

The Sandoway House Nature Center is located in a historic 1936 beachfront home in Delray Beach, Florida. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places and preserved as a unique Nature Center now home to native plants, live animals, and a world class shell collection upstairs. The Center offers a glimpse into South Florida's fragile marine and freshwater environments through educational exhibits and programs.
