The park features diverse landscapes including grassy forests, swampland, and scrub habitat. Visitors can explore interpretive trails at the visitor center to learn about the unique flora and fauna of the area.
Had no idea how big this place is. Epic hike, great place to train for long distance hiking. We enjoyed the well marked Blue Trail in the SE area. Terrain drops and water features were a surprise and welcomed. Loved the ability to use QR codes for downloading Avenza app then layering the state map on top of it. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you Florida State Parks Team.

Lovely and huge park to visit! We went 2 times already and we enjoyed it a lot. Although the trails were flooded on some areas, we could see lot of deers and birds.

Always an amazing ride. Lots of wildlife to view and take photos of. On most days you can watch the sky divers come back to earth. I believe they jump from the moon.

Awesome place, great location to see red cockaded woodpeckers and brown headed nuthatch on the northeast side. If you want to go to the northeast side (yellow trail) you have to drive along the C54 canal by entering from the west north of fellsmere.

Visited the Manatee Overlook and visitor center. Didn't see any manatees, but did see a few birds. A few people fishing. Visitor center 4 miles away had clean restrooms and informative exhibits.

Great place but don't trust in the trails as being "bike friendly". They are not. Stick to the gravel roads and enjoy.
Mitchell B — Google review
Love this state park! Quiet and calm. Free entry, dog-friendly (must be on 6-inch leash, max). The park is very well cared for. It has 2 entrances- the main entrance off Babcock & another off Fellsmere (east of I-95 & through North Country Regional Park).

Within the embrace of Sebastian State Park, where the river winds like a silver ribbon through the heart of Florida, one finds a sanctuary not just of nature, but of spirit. Here, as your paddle board glides over the gentle currents, or your kayak cuts a silent path through the water, you enter a realm where time seems to stand still, and the hustle of the world fades away, leaving only the rhythmic sound of water against hull.It is said by those who frequent these waters, and whispered among the leaves by the ancient oaks that watch over the river, that this place holds a magic of its own—a healing balm for weary souls. Each stroke through the water is a stroke towards inner peace, each mile floated a journey deeper into gratitude.To navigate the river is to engage in a silent dialogue with the essence of life itself, under the watchful gaze of egrets and herons. The sun, dappling through the canopy, casts a mosaic of light upon the water, illuminating not just the river, but something within the heart that perhaps we had forgotten or never knew was there. Sebastian State Park, with its serene beauty and tranquil waters, is more than a destination; it is an experience, a pilgrimage of sorts to the altar of nature's own cathedral. It reminds us that there are still sacred places in this world where one can go to heal, to reflect, and to be filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the simple, exquisite beauty of being alive.

Shopping
Factory Outlets
Vero Beach Outlets is a spacious outdoor shopping destination featuring a variety of stores offering discounted clothing, housewares, and accessories. While some stores have departed, the remaining selection includes well-known brands like Skechers, Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, Michael Kors, Williams and Sonoma, Carters, adidas, Hanes, Sunglass Hut, Gap and Crocs. The outlet complex offers ample parking and even provides a courtesy shuttle for convenience.
I love this outlet because it's huge, it is located on spacious beautiful grounds, and it is NOW HOME to my favorite store, BATH & BODY WORKS! The buildings are architecturally appealing and well designed. Bath & Body Works recently moved from the mall to this location. It is new, bright, well stocked, clean, neat and I love the staff. Bealls outlet is here, as well as Coach, Puma, Columbia, Sketchers, Calvin Klein, Crocks, and many more stores. Sometimes they will have small craft fairs in the parking lot. It is Definitely worth visiting and shopping here! A great Highlight to mention is for older folks or the disabled there is a golf cart that will ride you around from store to store so look out for the pick up and drop offs. I took my mom and she can walk fine but she wanted to get a ride anyway, lol. The heat is another factor. What a great idea! Photos from my visits-The Bath & Body items in the photo; that's not even the half of them. Columbia, we visit often for the quality and most often discounts and clearance if you are visiting grab one of these shorts. It's additional spf protection. Bealls is a favorite for housewares and at times you can find Columbia in there as well at a discount. Happy shopping and abundant blessings to our fine outlet stores.

We've been wanting to get down to this outlet to check out their shoes. They had a good selection. They even checked in the back when I couldn't find my size in a particular style. The prices were higher than I thought they would be for an outlet store though. I was only going to get two pairs but they did have a special to buy two get one free so I wound up with three pairs. Not too bad doing it that way.

Always a pleasure stopping at the Outlet Mall,in Vero Beach. Although but was late Sunday,near closing time ,I was able to find gifts for my friends,in record time I entered Bealls,in the Outlet Stores and found great gifts,great prices,all in just 15 minutes.

A lot of stores have left since my last visit but I’m still very happy with what’s left. The stores are clean, the employees are friendly. You can make a nice few hours and walk the entire outlet complex. Skechers, Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, Michael Kors, Williams and Sonoma, Carters, adidas, Hanes, Sunglass Hut, Gap, Crocs. Plenty of parking and they have a courtesy shuttle that operates during the day for elderly, disabled, or just lazy :). I really hope more stores come back. It’s a great location right off i95.
Thomas D — Google review
Good outlet mall with a variety of shops to choose from. There are a few hotels here as well as two restaurants. The Cracker Barrel and the steak and shake are the only two available. There are outparcels to build on in the future. Most of the outlet shops are clothing related though there are a couple of nice shops that sell furnishings. Close to 95 and excellent ingress/egress onto SR 60.

First time here for a free outdoor concert, it was spectacular! I recommend purchasing the cabana, it gives you a guaranteed space to sit, when the show is full! The show was excellent (Ian Lane and Southern Flavor), food and drinks were good, and the waitstaff was top notch! Even the wildlife enjoyed the show!

Perfect way to enjoy a night out. The performance ( Beattles& Bossi) was excellent. The Acoustics & lighting set the perfect ambience for this journey back in time to the 60s- 70s and to Brazil without leaving your seat. My wife and I both enjoyed the event.

Moving from Los Angeles to Sebastian and then later to Vero Beach after being in the US for 40 years - it was like coming back to America again, but the crowd is different in this return, this crowd is more skeptic about us the foreigners, so we have to navigate very carefully and appreciate the hospitality show. It depends on us and most of us understand that nevertheless our children the day were born here always will create a good reflection of us as an American and yes, I was treated very nice when my daughter came to visit me and took me to Riverside Park we have wonderful service over there so I was encouraged at the next Friday. I was there Again, but this time I was old by myself I did not have my American daughter to protect me from profiling. I am aware to the fact that my appearance (strong, ethnic face) I ended spending about five minutes in Display and it is physically beautiful place, but I was treated by a waiter very negatively and killed my spirit I know one person doesn’t represent the general mood of there citizens in any day city in the US but I strive with my words to stop profiling and to remind ourselves that the only one allowed to do that or the security forces Avi

NEVER AGAIN will I try to get food from "The Loop". They do not dare create a seperate entity for review. Both times I have been here they allowed me to order & pay for food, then after a wait of 30+ minutes tell me they ran out! And then the lengthy wait to get refunded! Allegedly run by adults, this problem has happened many times over multiple years. They are so dependent on iPads &c. yet no adult can figure out how to limit the number of orders for a particular item. Oh, and if you do not have table service you get to stand at a window immediately next to the stage where chefs, servers, and customers all scream at each other to be heard Stupidest physical arrangement possible. NEVER AGAIN, no excuses.

Non-profit organization
The Vero Beach Museum of Art is a contemporary regional museum that showcases American and international visual art collections. Its sleek, white building located in Riverside Park offers changing fine-art exhibitions and regular outdoor jazz concerts. The museum features a small but carefully chosen selection of works from famous artists such as Monet, Matisse, Picasso, Rembrandt, Hockney, Warhol, Cassat, Rockwell and more.
The museum provided free admission when I visited this past weekend. The museum offered an exhibit on modern French art, Robert Farber's photography and fashion portraits. It's a small museum with an array of art. Highly recommended.

Vero Beach is very lucky to have this beautiful art museum. We have been to several exhibits here and they are carefully coordinated, well executed, and the best part ...everyone including our teenagers loved them! We visited during the Rolling Sculpture exhibit, pardon me, I call it the car exhibit..however, you choose to define it it was really awesome 😎💯 ! My late step dad really loved it. I'm glad he was around to see it. It is located near Riverside Park which is a nice place to walk and view the Indian River after your visit. There are many shops and restaurants in the area as well. You just do not want to miss this stop on your trip here. The staff is kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. The gift shop has unique items and we always buy something to support this great local getaway.

A lovely museum and such a pleasant surprise... The galleries are well laid out, and the exhibits are thoughtfully curated a nice mix of classic and modern works. The building itself is beautiful, and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the gift shop had some really nice finds. I wish the sculpture garden had been open during my visit, but overall it was a great experience. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area...!

When traveling from Jensen Beach to Tampa, we stopped by Vero Beach and were thrilled to find this museum. An impressive, traveling blown glass “food” exhibit by Illinois artist John Miller made us smile and take many photos to share with friends. The residential exhibits included three works by Andy Warhol and a small collection of other well-respected artists. A sculpture garden was pleasant to stroll through on the beautiful day we were in town.

Needed a post-run dose of culture and decided to drop by the Vero Beach Museum of Art—and honestly? I’m glad I did. From the moment you walk past that fierce lion sculpture guarding the entrance, you already feel like you’re stepping into something bold and inspiring. Inside, the “French Moderns” exhibit totally pulled me in. We’re talking Monet, Matisse, Degas, Cézanne—all the greats flexing their brushstrokes. I loved seeing the timeline from 1850 to 1950, watching styles shift like gears in a Tour de France sprint. That Robert Delaunay garden scene? Looked like brunch with vibes. Shoutout to the Rodin sculptures—especially the marble one that looked like a dream trying to escape a rock. Dude’s work is raw, real, and somehow emotional without saying a word. There were some wild surprises too. Like a hyper-detailed, slightly spooky modern portrait that made me feel like I was being watched by a ghost who shops at Hot Topic. And a worn-out baseball cap that had more character than some people I know. Bonus: The staff kept things flowing, it wasn’t overly crowded, and there’s plenty of space to walk and soak it all in without bumping elbows.

McKee Botanical Garden is an 18-acre tropical paradise located in Fort Pierce, Florida. This lush and serene garden features exotic and native plants, trees, waterfalls, ponds, stone bridges, and bamboo statues of birds. Visitors can explore the beautiful landscapes with lily pads and historical cabins that create a fairytale-like atmosphere. The garden also offers a library, cafe, gift shop, and hosts events for kids.
We had a great time. Definitely bring bug spray. We bought the wipes they had in the gift shop but they’re pricey for a big group and not as effective as spray. My husband rarely gets bit by mosquitoes but he did here so use spray even if you don’t think you’ll need it. Teenagers & little kids alike will enjoy all the plants and the playground is adorable. We went in July so it was as hot as expected but almost the entire walk through is shaded. The cafe is cute, we got an oatmeal raisin cookie (yum) and an iced coffee (not great). Took us 1.5 hours to walk the entire place but easily could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

This is absolutely a beautiful place! From the moment you get to the tickets to the moment you leave. People are warm and friendly and super helpful.

We got there and little late so we didn't get to see everything. If we had had more time it probably would have gotten a 5 star rating. We will definitely come back. We drove 2 hrs to get there and at 4:40 the entrance gate was locked. We went around and came in through the exit, so we did get a little time. We can't wait to see the "jungle lights" in December.

Absolutely beautiful garden to walk around and enjoy. Spacious and beautifully maintained grounds. Nice and quiet. Not as much wildlife as others I've been to. Mostly just lizards. Not too much was in bloom but the Lilly's. All of the Lily's were in bloom. It was incredibly hot outside but it was still a good time. Honestly the 2 most impressive things there were the cypress stump outside, over a thousand years old. Absolutely massive. And I found a snake skin next to it so that was neat! And inside they have a building with the absolute longest single slab of wood for a table I have EVER seen. Very impressive. I wondered if it was from the cypress stump out front.
Brandi M — Google review
Beautiful park. Lots of history stuff about how it was created and how it survived so long. Tons of cute little anoles everywhere. If you know someone who loves pants, take them here. Side note, if you're worried about $20 entry in a tourist town, you might wanna reevaluate your finances. Because considering the location, this is a pretty standard price. Most botanical gardens are the same price or more given the amount of labor involved in keeping everything thriving and interesting.
Tru B — Google review
It's a beautiful place to relax and/or get your steps in, search for little treasures (like real blue crabs, exotic plants, and historical references), and walk under the shade of trees and palms. The children section is a little paradise for kids to play, explore, and get wet.

Round Island Beach Park is a serene and peaceful beach destination that offers a nostalgic, old-fashioned charm. It's not crowded with tourists and provides a quiet atmosphere for families to enjoy picnics, walks along the beach, and playtime at the playground. The park features picnic pavilions, walking trails, beach access with showers and restrooms available. Visitors can relax by the shore while listening to the soothing sound of ocean waves.
Stopped at the Round Island Beach park yesterday. It was very clean. Parking was super easy. Beach area is really wide and there are plenty of shells for those looking for some. Closest place to eat is a few miles away. So you better pack your own snacks and beverages. There were lots of people fishing. We didn’t see a lot of wildlife. Just a few sea turtles.

Donna A — Google review
Love, love, love this beach!! ❤ Very quiet, peaceful Beach. Not a tourist spot as it is far enough away from anything that would attract tourists. A family trip just looks like an old fashioned Beach that you remember from your childhood. You see the occasional fisherman, or just the person who likes to relax in their chair and read a book listening to the ocean's waves crashing on shore. There is a lifeguard on duty in case you decide to dip your toes into the water. The beach is lined with private residences far enough back that you don't even notice them too much behind the natural vegetation. Again, this is not a tourist location. You would need to bring all of your own supplies as there is nothing around this area for food or beverages.

Museums
The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, situated near Fort Pierce in St. Lucie County, Florida, is a top-notch naval history museum dedicated to preserving the remarkable legacy of the Navy's Sea, Air, Land (SEAL) and Underwater Demolition (UDT) Teams. Established formally in 1985, this museum boasts an impressive collection of rare SEAL-related artifacts such as WWII-era demolition training obstacles and Vietnam-era Patrol Boat Rivers.
🎖️ Very interesting museum! Given that SEALS originated in Fort Pierce, this museum is a must-visit! 🪖 They have a very good collection of original artifacts! Very interesting stands with engaging stories! You can even “board” some of the boats and a helicopter! 🚁 ⏳ You will need ~3-4 hours to take your time and view all of the artifacts. 🎥 In the begging of the museum they have a video room where a series of videos about various operations are shown. The total run time is ~2 hours. But, each video is about 15-20 mins. long. I would suggest going through the museum first and visit this room at the end of your visit. 🎁 Make sure to stop by the gift shop. They have a lot of pins and memorable coins! 🅿️ There is plenty of parking on site. 🚽 There is a bathroom in the “middle” of the museum. Everything is nice and clean.

Excellent show of history dedicated to those who served. Stories told you probably didn't even know about, tons of cool artillery and history you get to experience unlike other museums that we've been to. My personal favorite was the boats they had outside on display and some of the weapons they had inside of the building. If you are in the area or if you have an interest in this stuff I highly recommend giving this place a check out to see some truly incredible things.

Had a great day visiting this amazing museum. I went with two marines brothers and the site is great. Be prepared for a long visit, at least if you like to check every exhibit and read the whole history about, due they share all the data and items are plenty. The store I believe it could have more stuff but stills fine. 💯 % recommendable

A lovely visit to this museum right next to the beach by the way a huge plus…. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ the outdoor exhibits are free to wander, able to enter the huge ship was a nice touch - I did enjoy taking pictures from the height of the ship, they had educational videos about war & the ship’s history. The outdoor was a nice walk & it had an obstacle course for the kids. The inside was $16/but they offered military discounts. All items have been donated and actually used somehow in someway so that was interesting. Well maintained but did spend more time outside than inside. A day out visit was worth it!!!

Don’t let the size fool you this place is packed with awesome history! Carve out about 2-3hrs there is a lot to see and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. Phenomenal museum show casing the sacrifices we “entitled” Americans take for granted to live free, love this place and makes me proud to be a Floridian!

It is a very interesting place that I could spend a lot of time reading and learning about Navy Seal as there're so many exhibits and historical artifacts. There're nice and clean restrooms inside and also a gift shop.

It boasts a half-mile beach that offers various activities such as swimming, fishing, surfing, and scuba diving. The park's coastal hammock habitats and dunes make it an ideal spot for bird-watching and outdoor recreational activities year-round.

Absolutely lovely! Great place for kayaking. It had lovely mangrove tunnels. If you don't have kayak there are kayak rentals. Also nice trail through a forest. Beautiful beach overlooking the inlet and another great beach by the ocean. A place full of natural variety!

State Park pass holder so no fee for me but I took a photo of the current cost for non-pass holders. Beautiful state park. Inlet access. Ocean access. Separate parking for each. Baskets to help pick up things left behind. Park was clean. Rangers were present. A couple walking the beach areas and saw one cleaning up trash. They stay on top of their duties. One of the trails was a. It over grown. Bathrooms, picnic tables, grills, pavilions, beach showers, parking seemed plentiful. Lovely turtle sculptures at the entrance and also love the canoe with plants.

First visit to this state park and our whole family loved it! We have 5 kids and they loved the beach. It was very child friendly. It was only $6 to get in. There were bathrooms, some outdoor grills and a very nice beach area. Not too crowded. We went to the inlet side but we were told there are also ocean side beaches. Absolutely beautiful clear water and lovely scenery! Will be back again and again!
Ashley J — Google review
We went here twice on our trip to Fort Pierce. There's a $6 entrance fee and access to all the beach you can imagine. Unfortunately, we were there on a yellow and then a red flag day but we went wading in the inlet where it felt safer on the yellow flag day only. We otherwise walked along the beach, hung out under our umbrella and had some lunch. It was fun to watch the larger speed boats pass by as well. We also found lots of shells to add to our collection as well. Along the short walk from the parking lot to the beach, we also saw some turtles. The white sand is beautiful as well. Everything seemed so clean. FYI there are no dogs allowed at this beach and we saw the park ranger ask somebody with a dog to leave. There are restrooms that are okay on being clean.

Accessible beach for children with special needs. We had a wonderful experience. Morgan was very kind and got us a special beach wheelchair so we could easily bring our daughter with a disability down to the beach. It made all the difference! We’re very grateful for the thoughtful service and accessibility.

A great spot to anchor. Very convenient anchorage. The only downside is the locals who think that the water is theirs and they harass you with their speed boats especially in NO WAKE Zones!!!

🌊🏕️ 905 Shorewinds Dr, Fort Pierce, FL 34949 🎟️ Entry: $6 per vehicle | 🫡 Veteran-welcoming | Open daily from 8 AM–sundown 🏕️🌊 ⸻ 🔥 The Vibe: This park is a peaceful, adventure-ready slice of Florida paradise, whether you’re fishing off the jetty, paddling calm waters, or floating with the chance of spotting a manatee or dolphin gliding by. From nature lovers to families, surfers to solo strollers — this park delivers for everyone. ⸻ 🌞 Pro Tips for a Legendary Visit: ✅ Bring Snacks & Supplies – There are supermarkets and a pharmacy nearby (about 5–7 mins away), so grab your drinks, snacks, sunscreen, and sandwich game before pulling into the park. ✅ Hydrate Like a Pro – The beach area is a short walk from the parking lot, so bring water bottles, coolers, and electrolytes if you’re planning to stay for a few hours — there’s no quick dash for a drink once you’re on the sand. ✅ Beach Cart = Game Changer – If you’re hauling paddle boards, umbrellas, or kids, a collapsible wagon or beach cart will save your shoulders. ✅ Early Bird Gets the Best Spot – Parking near the inlet fills up fast on weekends and holidays — arrive by 9:30 AM if possible. ✅ Sunscreen & Shade – There’s minimal natural shade on the beach. Pop-up tents and wide-brimmed hats are your best friends. ✅ Pack Light, but Smart – Don’t forget: towels, bug spray, goggles/snorkel, and cash or card for entry. ⸻ 🌴 Recap of Activities: • Swimming & Sunbathing – Calm, kid-friendly waters • Fishing – Solid action on the jetty (bring bait or buy nearby) • Surfing & Paddleboarding – Rentals available just 10–15 mins away • Hiking – Small but scenic trails through dunes and mangroves • Manatee & Dolphin Spotting – Early mornings and inlets are best • Picnicking – Grills, tables, and golden hour views guaranteed ⸻ 💯 Final Verdict: Fort Pierce Inlet is Florida nature at its finest — quiet, clean, and full of opportunity to unwind or gear up for ocean fun. It’s veteran-friendly, affordable, and convenient if you plan ahead. Don’t just go for the view — go prepared, and you’ll unlock a 10/10 day every time. ⸻ 🔥 Trending Hashtags: #FortPierceInletVibes #SurfSnackSwimRepeat #VeteranApprovedAdventures #FloridaCoastGold #ManateeMoments #NatureWithPrep #HydrateAndHang #10StarBeachDay #SunSandPrepared #PaddleLifeFlorida

The state park was mostly empty. It cost me $4 to get in as a solo occupant. It was a beautiful beach. I like that they provide baskets to pick up trash on the beach. There are a lot of parking spaces. The only annoying thing is all the construction from the new bride being built creating traffic.

Manatee Center

Nature & Parks
Aquarium
The Manatee Observation and Education Center is a coastal awareness nature center that offers informative exhibits on marine life. Additionally, there is a waterfront viewing platform where visitors can observe sea creatures in their natural habitat. Knowledgeable volunteers are available to provide additional information and answer questions. The gift shop offers a variety of souvenirs for visitors to choose from. Although the center was not fully open during one visit, it was still possible to spot at least one manatee in the river.
Our family had a fantastic experience at the Manatee Observation and Education Center in Fort Pierce. During our visit, we were thrilled to spot five manatees relaxing peacefully in the water, seemingly unbothered by our presence. The recent cold snap had drawn them closer to the warm waters, allowing us to enjoy an incredible close-up view of these gentle giants. Beyond the manatees, we explored the center’s exhibits, which included fascinating displays of fish, sea horses, and other marine life. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, providing personalized attention and sharing extensive knowledge about manatees and the local ecosystem. The interactive exhibits were a big hit with my daughter, making the visit both educational and engaging. The center offers an unforgettable experience that’s perfect for families and nature enthusiasts alike.

Small center to help preserve the manatees. $3 entree fee, a few exhibits, inlet access beside and attached to it with a 2nd story viewing tower. Small aquariums with live fish and plants. Entry free gift shop also. Great prices on tourist coffee mugs and many other items.

Such a cute little center. Sadly, the Manatees weren’t present because of the cold weather. The staff was excellent and engaging. Fun exhibits inside and lots of viewing space outside. Admission is minimal so round up for a little extra donation. It has beautiful outdoor space and even when the Manatees aren’t there, there’s still wildlife around to enjoy.

It's a wonderful place handicap accessible. It is especially for small children. And when the weather is nice and the waves are not as choppy, you can see the manatees outside. They even brought out a snake. They are very polite, they will ask If the person is afraid or not to bring the animals to you. There are books that you can read to the little ones at a nice clean table. So there are things to occupy some time And lots of information.
Grace R — Google review
The center is very, very small but offers a large amount of information on manatees. There's several small aquariums and a terrarium with a resident snake, children's activities and books, a butterfly garden, a really nice gift shop, and observation deck with an excellent view of the docks and waterway. It cost $3 to get in.

Paleo Hammock Preserve is a hidden gem for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. This dog-friendly destination features wide, flat trails that meander through a stunning landscape reminiscent of Florida's untamed beauty. The paths are primarily sandy or grassy, with some tree roots to navigate, making it suitable for both hikers and horseback riders. While the preserve offers a mix of sun and shade, be prepared for occasional bumps along the access road.
Very beautiful trail. Super quiet and get to enjoy the natural sounds of just nature. If you take glades cut off it fairly rough and the road leading up to the entrance is also rough you have to dodge lots of bumps and pot holes. This is one of the vet preserves I believe

Great trail for horseback riding. The trail was well cut/maintained and mostly shaded (big plus in the summer). Most of the trails are short (about a mile or so) but if you do them all it’s 10-12 miles. Nice little hidden spot and will definitely be back!

Dog friendly: yes Trail is wide, flat, sand/dirt,grass with occasional tree roots. Sun/shade mix. This is also a horse trail so watch your step. We heard insects and an airplane overhead; otherwise, it was quiet. We saw evidence of wild hogs and/or armadillos that had dug up the trail. We did not meet anyone else on the trail. Bring your own water. Parking is free in the large fenced in area.

Left after 2nd inning....life long Mets fan, very disappointed. Was always a dream to visit here, big let down. Just moved to the area so this was on the top of the bucket list. Most annoying was Q-tip old timers in section 205 refusing to let people sit in the seats they purchased. Its reserved seating, not first come first served. What are you supposed to do with a bunch of geriatrics on their last legs though? Heard the argument over seating for the 4th time and just took the family and went home before things got ugly. No usher presence didn't help matters. Plus half the stadium was closed off for renovations compounding issues. Food options were decent, that was about the highlight. Wish this night ended differently, will probably be going to Rays, or Tortugas games moving forward.

Never in my life have I had such an exceptionally amazing meal. There is no contest that the food we had here was unequivocally the best I've ever consumed; utterly unparalleled. The appetizer of Scallops with caviar on top and a truffle slice was the best version of scallop preparation I've ever had. It started the meal off with a high bar that only continued to get better. I enjoyed an entrée of Coconut Crusted Hogfish in a Cashew Curry sauce that was beyond any ability to express how delectable it was. Every single bite was worth raving about; my taste buds never got used to how outrageously excellent the flavor was. Never before have I been so amazed at the flavors of each and every mouth-watering bite! My husband had the Roasted Maple Leaf Duck which he said was the best duck he's ever had. This was a better anniversary dinner than I could have fathomed (never before have we spoken so little out to eat because it did was so delicious). I cannot rave about this place enough and I look forward to the opportunity to return again for more!!

Frank took excellent care of us throughout the evening! He was professional and friendly! We are locals since 2014 and this was our first time dining here! Absolutely loved it! Beca took our reservation over the phone. So sweet and friendly. Michelle was our greeter when we arrived she was friendly and attentive to us. We had perused the menu prior to our arrival and enjoyed each course. I began with a delightful glass f Sancerre French Sauvignon Blanc, we then shared Oysters Rockafeder, a bowl of crab & shrimp tortilla soup, apple walnut salad, crab cakes is what my husband ordered and I enjoyed the coconut Crusted Hoggish! Everything was delicious! We will definitely return! The menus selection all inviting! 👍👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five stars truly isn’t enough for this place! This was mine and my boyfriend’s first time visiting Stuart and unfortunately (but fortunately, in the end) we didn’t find this gem until our last day! We had the absolute best meal of our trip. The atmosphere is so lovely and cozy. The entire wait staff was so kind and attentive. Every dish we got was a must try; the pull apart bread, crab cakes, maple vinegarette salad, honey bourbon filet special and the coconut curry fresh catch. We will absolutely be making this place a staple on our next trip.

Service was great and the chef accommodated my seafood allergy by specially preparing the veal dish. The veal was tender but a bit flavorless. We sat inside since rain was coming. The table next to us was 12" away but was the only open table. The salad that came with the veal was delicious! Appetizer pear purses was also fabulous. My friend and I split one appetizer and the veal dish and after the upcharge for splitting to get extra salad, total bill including 20% tip was $90. (We each drank water). It was plenty of food and we left full.

The Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center is a 57-acre research and educational site featuring a network of nature trails, a lagoon, and saltwater tanks. Visitors can explore the building's interactive games, learn about Florida's water and animals in the museum, and take advantage of restrooms on-site. The attraction offers a chance to feed stingrays and invertebrates while observing large saltwater turtles and fish up close. Admission prices are $8 for children and $16 for adults.
Last week we went to the Florida Oceanographic Center during our stay on Hutchinson island. It obviously is extremely hot outside this time of year so I recommend bringing water and sunscreen. There are some AC and shady areas to cool down but a good portion is outside. We loved the indoor area that was an aquarium inside with tons of cool fish in it. Highly recommend spending some time visiting.

It was neat, but with how much it costs compared to the other things in the area I expected a bit more. The mosquitos there are super terrible. I feel they should just hand out bug spray for free. My kid got eaten alive just walking around the sting ray and where they feed the fish. The gift shop was decently priced. A boys hat fell in the lagoon and the employees did a great job of safely removing it.

A wonderful facility! The talks were informative and accessible, and the employees giving them were both knowledgeable and passionate. We walked away with lots of useful information, including how we can make a difference in our own lives when it comes to conservation! The animas seemed well cared for, with many of them being here due to an inability to be released back into the wild rather than just being here “for show.” Would highly recommend a visit!

Shout out to Jasmin at the sea critter touch tank as well as the sting ray area!! She was very knowledgable and funny :)

The staff is fantastic, they truly are friendly & informative. The place itself however, has little to offer. You can view it all in about an hour or less. You can walk the mangroves & be led to the inlet 🫤 which isn't beautiful obviously. Kids can touch some sea life & view a couple of things indoors away from heat. Other than that, it's just okay to visit.

I was stunned at the amount and quality of their items. This is an absolute jewel and a must see. I was not disappointed. Cost is minimal for the value of seeing great works. If the docent is available for the cars, ask to see it. They have a racking system unlike anything I've ever seen. Take your time and take it all in. I think they have other exhibits that are invited and showcased. When I visited it was Tut and Faberge eggs replicas. Active duty and veterans were admitted free with ID at the time of this post. Great way to spend your time.

🏛️ Great museum! Really worth a visit. 1st floor is filled with unusual antique cars and bicycles. Plenty of interesting historical facts about local residents and inventors. 2nd floor is filled with myriad of unique artifacts of Florida history. Most of them are just displayed in a makeshift old store. You can spend hours just exploring this area alone. 🎧 They have an excellent and free audio guide. 🚗 Make sure to check out “car vending machine”. Plus at least two electric cars from 1900s and 1970s. Fun fact, most of their cars are drivable. They rent them to movie studios, news productions, weddings and just take them to auto shows. They have 1930s “Woody” (Ford Model A Staton Wagon) that you can sit in and explore. Make sure you do it and find out just how much more comfortable our cars are today. 🏕️ Moonshine tent display on 2nd floor is excellent. ⏱️ Give yourself ~3-4 hours to explore the museum. 🅿️ There is plenty of free parking in front of the museum. Plus public beach parking right next to the museum. 🍹There is a “Tiki Bar” on site. If you are hungry, you can visit it too. 🚽 Bathrooms a nice, roomy and very clean.

A very nice local museum that has something for just about everyone. I spent 2 hours there and could have stayed longer. I investigated because i saw a King Tut sign. All the display items were replicas but you got a feel for the size of the artifacts found in the tomb. The museum has a 50+ car collection with mostly card that are from before 1950. It has a baseball card collection with some bats and balls on display. It has a replica Faberge Egg display which is very large. It has a large selection of Highwayman Paintings which were pretty good. I recommend a visit.

Museums
The House of Refuge Museum is dedicated to honoring American inventors and entrepreneurs with a variety of exhibits showcasing replica stores and patents. The museum offers visitors an opportunity to learn about the nation's history while also enjoying the nearby beach, which features a unique reef not commonly found in southern Florida. Despite the lack of public restrooms, this interesting destination provides an enjoyable way to spend a weekend day exploring maritime history.
Not only is the house of refuge the oldest building in Martin County, it’s served as a life-saving service to those that were shipwrecked out on Gilbert‘s bar. It’s my favorite beach to bring my dogs too. You can see the exposed part of Anastasia‘s formation which is an outcrop of Coquina that was created by polychaete worms. That’s right, a reef system that was built by worms a long, long time ago. And if you catch it at low tide, you can go in front of the worm reef and see all the creatures that inhabited now. My French bulldog Winston loves to explore it.

Really enjoyed my visit today. Took the shuttle from the Elliott Museum, which I highly recommend as traffic is bad and the parking worse. The buildings are well maintained, the docent and gift shop staff friendly and informative, and the views of the lagoon and Atlantic coast beautiful. Admission is very reasonable and free for veterans with ID.

A great piece of Coast Guard and Florida history. This is located off the beaten path. It is associated with the Elliott museum and is located about 2 miles or a 5 minute car ride from the main museum. You can buy a combination ticket to see the Elliott and the House of Refuge museum. I think that is the best deal. You can coordinate for a museum staff member to drive you over and back. It was a good deal and very convenient. I would recommend going to the Elliott first and then the House of Refuge. You could drive yourself but there are very few parking spaces at the Refuge. The house is the only one of the original 10 houses built by Florida to helped shipwrecked people along Florida’s east Coast. You enter through the house by the small parking lot. The staff was very friendly. The entrance house serves as a ticket booth, a waiting area and a gift shop all in one. The small set of structures is located right on the beach and offers a lovely view. They have you start at the third house where a volunteer shows a movie and then describes more about the history of the people and the structures. The next house has individual rooms that describe each period in the history of the house. Overall, it was a very nice visit to a structure that is key in describing the true initial Coast Guard history.

Awesome little piece of history. Well worth a visit. Plan on spending around an hour at the house, and a bit more time walking along the rocky beach. Parking could be tricky, with only around 20 spaces. Pleasant staff who answered questions and were friendly.

I love historical places like this. You can learn and appreciate your surroundings more when you visit areas. Our local guide was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It's amazing to learn about the history buried beneath our own feet. I absolutely recommend to anyone from this area or visiting from out of town. What a gem of history that I'm sure most people would drive right by every day.

Interesting little museum. Worth a visit if you are nearby. The story behind this coastal building is quite special, as it helps understand some of regional history. There is also a cute little souvenir shop. Recommend it and it takes only one hour max.

The sunrises on this beach are phenomenal and breathtaking. The rocks and outcroppings are unique to this beach all along the coast of Florida. Small. Quiet. Scenic. Always see photographers capturing wedding couples, children, and families here every morning we come. Worth a visit if you can. No decent swimming but picturesque. Wear stiff shoes. Rocks will cut your feet up.

Bathtub Beach

Mentioned on

Beach pavillion
Nature & Parks
Beaches
Bathtub Beach is a family-friendly destination with a unique feature - during low tide, the reef creates a shallow pool resembling a bathtub. This makes it an ideal spot for young kids and those who want to swim without worrying about the tide. The beach offers limited parking but provides amenities such as a gazebo, shower, and bathroom. Additionally, Bathtub Beach is handicap accessible with designated parking and wheelchair-accessible sidewalks leading to an overlook pavilion and sun deck.
Such a great self-serve beach with a few daytime lifeguards and excellent snorkeling for being right on the shore with a massive collection of seashells, small fish, and birds. A clean bathroom with a drinking fountain but no on site restaurants- however lots of great options within a 2-15 min drive would 10/10 recommend

My boys 10 & 15 loved this beach! It was the favorite of the ones we visited. There are shells, but not a ton. If you go early in the morning it isnt crowded. Parking is limited, so be prepared if you are arriving after 9/930! Bathroom and showers on site. Short walk to the beach.

Jonathan Dickinson State Park

State park
Outdoor Activities
Jonathan Dickinson State Park, located just north of the late Burt Reynolds estate, is a stunning natural attraction in South Florida. The park boasts 16 natural communities and features the Loxahatchee River, where visitors can enjoy kayaking and canoeing surrounded by cypress trees and mangroves. The park offers two campgrounds - the River Campground along the Loxahatchee River and the Pine Grove Campground near the park entrance.
Hands down, this might be the best Florida state park I’ve ever visited. The biking and hiking trails were so much fun and really well maintained. We stayed for a long weekend and everything about the trip was just right. The campground was peaceful, the scenery was beautiful, and the whole place felt untouched and quiet. If you’re looking to disconnect and enjoy nature, this is the spot.
Bri A — Google review
Been 28 years since I last stayed here. Stayed at the youth site so somewhat away from the rest of the camps. I'd probably give it a 5 star if I was able to enjoy the park more as they have mountain biking, hiking, and some other water borne stuff that I couldn't partake in, sadly. Large park so plenty of room to stretch your arms. Rangers were great! Very helpful and responsive, truly appreciated. The negatives which can and cannot be fixed were the late night trains that run through the park, the mosquitoes the size of VWs, and the observation tower being closed. So go to bed tired, lather on the bug spray (didn't even phase them), and you still get a decent view from the "mountain" top.
Walter A — Google review
This is my first experience at Jonathan Dickinson. It was a very pretty and peaceful campground. I stayed at the River campground location. My dog (Slater) and cat (Zena) enjoyed it very much. We had plenty of places to bike ride around. We hiked up the walk path to hobo outlook. Although the Outlook Tower was shut down it was still quite a beautiful view. One main thing that I would complain about was the constant target practice that was nearby. Gunfire all day long. So if you have PTSD this is not a great place for you.
Laura M — Google review
At the park you can go on guided river tours. Boat rentals are available for 2 hours for $65. Call ahead to check for availability and times due to tides. There is a gift shop that sells refreshments, snacks, and souvenirs. I recommend taking the time to visit the welcome center where they have a small museum and video theater where children or adults can do a scavenger hunt. They have hats and tee-shirts for $10. I would recommend this park for camping, cabins and tents are available, they even have rv sites and a boat ramp, knack rentals are available also. Fishing at the pier is an option to consider it is brackish water.
John J — Google review
HUGE park!! RV site 001 is massive with full hookups and across from a fun playground (only one in camp). It's a drive to get to the actual park, and the fees for tours are pretty steep if you have a large family. Super close to shopping, beaches, a lighthouse, and the Loggerhead Marinelife Center.

I wish I had more time and better shoes! This place has it all for those who enjoy an active lifestyle! Camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, horse back riding, bird watching - nature comes alive in the most unexpected and unassuming way!

Nature & Parks
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is a refuge and nature center in Florida that focuses on the rehabilitation of local wildlife. The sanctuary offers kid-friendly trails through woods and wetlands, providing visitors with the opportunity to observe a variety of animals, including deer and owls. The exhibits are designed to blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings, creating a picturesque setting for both visitors and wildlife. While there is no entrance fee, donations are encouraged to support the care of the animals.
What a great place to go & see Florida wildlife. Excellent access for walking the path, pushing kids in strollers or taking someone with a walker or wheelchair. Entry by optional donation. They make it easy- goes to a good cause. Great gift store & educational opportunities. Nice clean facilities. Well done on the new build. Thankful they are rehabbing area wildlife & giving locals (and tourists) a nice place to see animals outside a traditional zoo setting.
Kathy A — Google review
This place is better than a zoo—and it’s completely FREE! (Donations appreciated) Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is a spacious, peaceful haven where animals are not just on display but actually cared for in environments that mimic their natural habitats. The animals are well-kept, with proper environments and things to play with The sanctuary feels close to nature, with beautiful trails, shaded spots, and thoughtfully designed enclosures. There’s a reptile room with A/C (perfect break from the Florida heat) and an amphitheater with amazing fans, making the educational talks super comfortable and fun. The staff is kind and visible throughout the facility, ready to help and answer questions. Whether you’re local or just visiting Jupiter, this sanctuary is 100% worth your time. It’s educational, family-friendly, and a great way to support wildlife rehab and conservation.

This is a very nice, well maintained animal sanctuary. They have different birds, owls, foxes, bobcats, panthers, bears, and more. The caged areas are a good size overall. I've been to some sanctuaries where the panthers' enclosures were only a fraction of the size. Summer is getting hot, and there aren't any fans or misters as you walk around so I'd bring water, a hat, and a portable fan if heat is an issue for you. I would say 1-2 hours is enough time. We were there almost 2 hours but went slow, reading all the exhibits in the welcome center and looking at all the animals and reptiles. I know they also have shows and presentations, so you'd have to check online or call for the schedule. They have a gift shop that also has a few drinks and ice creams/popicles. It's donation only. They have a cash or card option.

This is an awesome wildlife sanctuary that is definitely worth visiting if you have an hour or so. It's not super large, but if you go at the right time, it's really cool. We went right after it rained (it actually drizzled a little on us here) and about an hour before they closed, and all of the animals were super active! We got to see the panthers running around playing with each other (they were in separate areas but still ran at each other and played), the otters running around and swimming, the owls making noise and eating their dinners, and much more.

I recently visited Busch Wildlife Sanctuary’s new location, and it was absolutely beautiful! The best part of the experience is seeing how well the animals are taken care of. The sanctuary’s space is clean, well-maintained, and you can truly tell the staff cares deeply for each animal. One of the volunteers, Edward, was incredible! He was so knowledgeable and shared some fun facts about the animals that really made the visit special. The layout is perfect, especially for little ones like my two-year-old, who loves to run around. It’s spacious, and they’ve made it super family-friendly with both indoor and outdoor areas. If you visit on a hot Florida day, there are large umbrellas outside to offer some shade, which is a nice touch. They even have a designated kids' play area, which my daughter loved! The gift shop is also adorable, and there are so many cute items to check out. Plus, it’s donation-based, and everything goes toward such a great cause. This place is definitely a must-visit. I highly recommend it for families of all ages. Can’t wait to come back!

Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum

Mentioned on 
46 lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum, operated by the Loxahatchee River Historical Society, is a historic site that offers guided tours of an 1860 lighthouse and a small museum at its base. The area's rich history, including Spanish expeditions and shipwrecks, is showcased in the museum's galleries. Visitors can also explore outdoor structures such as a pioneer home.
Cool lighthouse that is still actively in use and whose history dates back to the 1800s. The staff here (mostly retiree volunteers) is very engaging, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. It’s quite a hike getting up the lighthouse, but once on top, it has an amazing view. The staff gave us a detailed history overview briefing while we were at the top of the lighthouse. Cost to enter is very reasonable. What’s also unique about the sight is the ginormous Banyan tree at the base of the lighthouse. It’s a one of a kind tree that is a non-native tree of the region. People who are claustrophobic may not want to attempt the lighthouse staircase climb as it’s a narrow and very steep staircase. Also, I noticed when standing at the top of the lighthouse, you can feel the structure swaying in the wind (it’s a gentle sway), but it did make me a little nervous whenever you feel it 😬

Perfect day beautiful place. You even get exercise. Climbing the stairs to the lighthouse. There's walking paths and the views worth it.

The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum is truly a cultural treasure. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by breathtaking views of the water and lush vegetation that create a peaceful and awe-inspiring atmosphere. The natural beauty of the area alone is worth the visit, but the history tucked within these grounds is what makes it unforgettable. Climbing the lighthouse offers panoramic views that are absolutely stunning—you can see the coastline stretch for miles, and it gives you a real sense of Florida’s rich maritime heritage. The museum itself is full of stories that connect the past to the present, from the Native American tribes who once lived here to the lighthouse keepers who maintained the beacon. This place is more than just a landmark—it’s a living piece of history and an experience that leaves you with a deep appreciation for the culture, nature, and legacy of the area. A must-visit if you’re anywhere near Jupiter!

DuBois Park in Jupiter, Florida, is a historic site and beachfront park named after pioneer settler Harry DuBois. The park offers a glimpse into the area's past with ancient Indian middens, historic structures, and views of the Loxahatchee River. Visitors can explore the DuBois Pioneer Home and Chickee Chic, a Seminole Indian structure.
Great family park. Slow current, shallow river great for families with small children. The beach is a short walk away with clear, turquoise waters. Lots of pretty seashells for people to pick. We arrived at 9am on a Saturday and there was plenty of parking and picnic tables. We left at 2:30pm and the lot was full. The tide came in by the time we left but the water was still clear and shallow in the river. We had a great time overall!

It's a great place if you have kids as the waters not very deep on the beach side. If you go under the foot bridge, it does deepen enough, maybe 3 feet if the tides out. The waters crystal clear and very calm only get waves if boats go through. I love the historical house you can tour on the property.

Dubois Park in Jupiter is one of the coolest and most relaxing places I’ve been to! The lagoon is absolutely beautiful—calm, crystal-clear water that feels amazing to swim in. It’s perfect for families, especially with little ones, because it’s protected from the waves and super easy to wade through. There’s a great playground area that keeps the kids entertained for hours, and the whole park feels safe and welcoming. What I really appreciated was the thoughtfulness of the layout—picnic tables, shaded areas, and even a wash station so you can rinse off the sand before getting back in the car. From the views of the inlet to the well-kept grassy areas and palm trees swaying in the breeze, the whole park just has that laid-back Florida vibe. Whether you’re grilling out, swimming, exploring the rocks, or just relaxing by the water, Dubois Park has a little something for everyone. I could easily spend the whole day here. A true hidden gem and one of my favorite spots in Jupiter!

Dubois Park. Tropical paradise + history = THE perfect stop on the way home from a long weekend at the Hard Rock. I’ve been wanting to come here for soooo long. Looking forward to exploring it some more on our next visit. We visited in July 2025 on a Sunday around 9am and there were still a ton of parking spaces available. This park does not charge an entrance fee compared to Sebastian inlet, I honestly loooove this park more than Sebastian Inlet. There is an area where you can walk next to the mangroves in calf deep water. Lots of families enjoying the park, barbecuing, lots of lifeguards around as well. Saw 2 cop cars patrolling. I saw 1 bathroom but did not use it so can’t comment about cleanliness. At the end of the pier people were fishing, they are using 5inch long fish as bait so they must catch pretty good sized fish here. There were lots of seaweeds on the beach side when we visited. I love the foliage on the dunes and the sculpture of a female and male overlooking the water.

Harbourside Place in Jupiter, Florida, is such a beautiful and relaxing destination—it really exceeded my expectations. Nestled right along the waterfront, it’s the kind of place where you can stroll around, take in the views, and just enjoy the moment. The whole area is well-designed with a mix of upscale shops, great restaurants, and spots to just sit and enjoy the breeze off the water. There’s a really nice energy here—live music on certain nights, people walking with their families or dogs, boats coming in and out—it feels vibrant without being overcrowded. The restaurants have great outdoor seating so you can enjoy the view while you eat. Whether you’re in the mood for a sit-down dinner, a quick coffee, or just walking around with a gelato, Harbourside has something for everyone. Parking was easy, the area felt safe and clean, and the whole experience made for a perfect day or evening out. If you’re in the Jupiter area and want something scenic, relaxing, and full of variety, Harbourside Place is definitely worth the stop. A perfect blend of Florida charm and modern coastal vibes.

Harbourside Place is a vibrant waterfront destination in Jupiter, Florida, offering a perfect blend of scenic beauty, shopping, dining, and entertainment. The area is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with clearly marked walking paths that make it easy to stroll along the water while enjoying the beautiful views. The mangroves are trimmed thoughtfully, allowing unobstructed sightlines to the boats and river while preserving the natural charm. A variety of boats are docked along the harbor, adding to the nautical atmosphere. The location features a great mix of restaurants and boutique shops, including Jupiter Grill, Mana Mediterranean Restaurant, the popular Woody’s Restaurant, and the always refreshing Tommy Bahama Store. There’s also a charming ice cream parlour, bridal gown shops, and a men’s formalwear store for special occasions.

The ambiance is lively yet family-friendly, making it a pleasant spot for both day and evening visits. Parking can be challenging—street parking is limited, especially on weekends, so the paid parking garage is the best bet. Current construction in the area is clearly marked and doesn’t obstruct the experience. Rules such as “No Fishing” and “No Loitering” are enforced to keep the space safe and enjoyable for all visitors. Whether you’re coming for a meal with a view, boutique shopping, a live concert, or simply a relaxing stroll, Harbourside Place captures the charm of Jupiter’s waterfront lifestyle beautifully

‘McCarthy' Wildlife Sanctuary

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Animal rescue service
Zoos & Aquariums
McCarthy's Wildlife Sanctuary is a refuge for more than 170 animals. They offer guided tours and interactive programs for children, but reservations are required. The animals appear to be well-kept and healthy, and the staff are organized and friendly. Restrooms are available on-site, but visitors must be escorted if they need to use them during a tour. Guests must stay with the group at all times and touching or handling the animals is allowed at their own risk as stated by signage in the area.
Our recent visit was a delightful experience filled with learning about animals. Josie, our guide, was exceptional—helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate about the sanctuary's mission. Her insights made the visit truly enriching. However, the sanctuary itself is quite small, which was a bit of a surprise. While it's well-maintained, I couldn't help but wish they had more space and larger enclosures for the animals. Hopefully, with more funding, they can expand their facilities to provide a better environment for the animals and enhance the visitor experience. Overall, it's a wonderful place with potential for growth, and we look forward to seeing how it evolves in the future.

This big cat sanctuary didn't disappoint. It is clean, shady and lots of animals to look at. Our tour guide Jossie was great, knew a lot of interesting information and kept us interested. A definite must.

5 stars aren't enough. 1st time visit, Took my son and daughter-in-law and it was such a plesent experience. Josie was our guide and she was so personable and knowledgeable. Her dedication and passion was so evident. The interactions with the animals was pure joy, you can see how well they are cared for and maintained. Created and operations completely on donations and love. I highly recommend a visit. Check their website as they have limited hours as to not over stress the animals which I certainly appreciate. Completely ran on donations and love

The place was clean. The girl who did the tour was knowledgeable but the two people that came with me and myself started getting bored, she talked WAY to long on each animal. I'm sure we weren't the only ones to feel that way. After awhile you kinda just zoned her out. Aso I'm handicapped and needed to sit down occasionally. It would have been nice had an employee at least clean the chairs & benches ( which I appreciated ) they were so dirty, you didn't even want to sit down. That is why I deducted a star. Animals were really cool. If you are able to stand in one place for 10 to 15 minutes on each animal, and listen to a tour guide go on & on, I highly recommend this place.

This was our 6th time here and it never disappoints. Everytime you come is like the first time! Always something new, always another example of selfless people caring for beautiful animals. Our guide this time was Josie, which was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality. My son was in town from Ft Drum and when asked what he wanted to do, he said to come here. This is our favorite day trip adventure. They even had umbrellas delivered to us mid-tour when it started to rain. Five stars is not enough!

Had an incredible time with our family at McCarthy, kids ages 5, 8 & 10. I highly recommend this place. It’s well worth the money spent. It’s evident the animals are loved and well taken care of. We are so glad we took time on our vacation to visit McCarthy’s.

Lion Country Safari

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Wildlife and safari park
Nature & Parks
Lion Country Safari is a fantastic drive-thru safari where visitors can see lions, rhinos, and other animals roaming freely. The park also features an amusement park with various activities such as mini-golf, a waterslide, water park, and a restaurant. Visitors can opt for VIP tours that provide an up-close experience with the animals and knowledgeable guides like Kimberly who offer insights into the wildlife. Additionally, there are walking tours that include a petting zoo and giraffe feeding.
My husband and I were unsure if we should go without our kids, and im glad we still went. We had an absolutely amazing time. We arrived around 130pm, and the car drive through the safari took us about 1.5 hours while listening to the audio guide and stopping while seeing animals. We then went into the park (bring your bathing suits). Enjoy the day. Everything is included except the additional feeding of animals, but you can still get close and encounter them all. We grabbed a dole whip to cool off. By 4pm, we were done with the park, but if we had the kids with us, we could spend all day at the water slide and water park. We decided to drive through the safari one more time as it was getting dark as it was about to storm. I'm so glad we did. The animals were way more active and out walking around compared to mid day when they were hiding in the shade. Lions were active, and the workers were actually putting them away, and they were up roaming around. It was faster, only took us 30 minutes as we passed by other cars that were still enjoying the animals.

This place is great. Kiss loved safari drive through ans got to see animals. It was hot so some were hiding in the shade but we were still able to see. After drive through, we went to the park are and there is more things to see and do. They have petting and feeding opportunities there. They have merry-go-round and a few other small rides (great for kids 3-7). They have 2 big water slides (have to be over 48 inches) and a splash pad with smaller rides for smaller kids. I remember making a day out of it. Our family had a great time there.

We love Lion Country Safari! It’s such an amazing place to bring the family and friends. You are allowed to respectfully drive through the park and take in the surreal sights of the diverse array of animals and habitats. You can take your time to truly appreciate everything that’s available. Once you’re done driving through the safari, you can spend some time at the park to continue to observe Gods creatures, grab a snack, let the kiddos play at the waterpark, or purchase some souvenirs. I highly recommend spending a day at the Safari.
Ben L — Google review
What an incredible safari tour! With so many animals to view it was well worth the admission cost. When driving through, you receive (at your wish) a voice guided tour that you can get scanning the qr code which provides you with facts and history of each animal within the park. What makes this park even more incredible, is you can walk through another park where you view birds, flamingos, giraffes and go on a boat tour (extra fee). There is a small amusement park along with gorgeous flowers and fascinating decorative paths to walk through. Definitely a place for those between 2-120 years!!!!

Amazing experience! 🦁 The safari was so much fun — we got really close to the animals, especially the giraffes and zebras. The place is clean, well organized, and perfect for families. You can tell the animals are well cared for. Definitely worth the visit

It was a nice visit! Although I would like to have had the windows down the animals didn’t seem interested in approaching our vehicles but we had our windows up, it was nice to drive through once and walk around we did the feeding and petting area we enjoyed the boat tour and the maze. We didn’t eat there but we stopped by a Mexican restaurant close by avanges or something like that. But it was a nice time we left there happy. Wasn’t too hot walking around we ran through splash pad but didn’t stay there’s

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Lion Country Safari and it was such a wonderful experience! Seeing the animals up close from the comfort of your car is truly unique. Everything is very well organized, the animals look healthy and well cared for, and the drive-through safari is so much fun for the whole family. After the ride, there’s also a walk-through area where you can feed some animals, enjoy games, and other activities. It’s the perfect place to spend a full day surrounded by nature, learning, and fun. 🦁🦒🦓🐘 🫶🏻🐘🦒🦓

We had a great experience. We arrived at 9:30 and all of the animals were alert and active. Some were running and playing. You can drive through the safari multiple times. There are other animals in the walking portion of Lion Country Safari. I didn't take many photos because I wanted to enjoy the moment.

One my most favorite places in West Palm Beach. Urban landscape is designed for gathering and walking with paved streets. Fountain shops and restaurants. It's so beurre and live. Everyone can enjoy this safe family oriented plaza. 😍
Shay — Google review
CityPlace is a wonderful spot for shopping and family time! The location is perfect — everything is within walking distance: Starbucks, cute clothing stores (including kids’ shops), ice cream shops, and great restaurants for every taste. Our kids especially loved the splash area near the “Wishing Tree.” It’s the best place to cool off during the hot Florida days — and in the evening, the tree lights up in beautiful colors. On weekends, there’s live music and fun activities — we were lucky to catch a great band playing while parents relaxed and kids had fun! During our visit, there was also a pumpkin patch — beautifully decorated, even though we caught a bit of rain, the kids didn’t mind at all. Parking is paid (about $11), but the exit is super convenient — right into the plaza with the Wishing Tree and splash area. There’s also a restroom near the parking elevators — always very clean. We truly enjoyed our time here and will definitely come back!

Outstanding! I have a ton of food allergies and staff member, Chris, took great care to make sure that I was safe. Chef and the rest of the team put their heads together - and double-checked with me a couple of different times on different things - to make sure that I got a delicious and healthy meal. I will definitely go back again thanks to their amazing service and their concern over my health. Great job, team! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

The acoustics were perfect, with every sound delivered clearly and full of emotion. The staff was incredibly polite and attentive, which made the night even more special.

We had a truly special night celebrating our wedding anniversary at the beautiful Kravis Center, a luxurious and elegant theater. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, guiding us to our seats with great courtesy. The sound quality was excellent for the legendary Beach Boys performance.

It was such a great experience going to the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the performing arts. Let’s start by saying that the location of the center is located in West Palm Beach and is absolutely beautiful. The center itself is very clean very safe and the staff are very, very professional and very, very helpful. There is food and drinks for purchase available at the Center. Also there is plenty of parking with reasonable parking fees. We had such a great time last night where we went to go see the Commodore’s. It was so much fun. It was amazing and it was definitely worth going. You won’t go wrong seeing any type of performance at the Kravis center for the performing arts. It’s definitely worth it.

I have always enjoyed going here for watching polo games, especially on Sunday afternoons. The games are not only exciting most of the time, but I love the vibrations on the ground when the horses are racing close by. The half-time pivot stomping is a nice break in between too, with the free champagne.

Great music choices and played wonderfully. I appreciated The origin of the song and the artist before they played it was appreciated. I would’ve liked to have gotten a program and the seating was really tight. I practically had to hold hands with the guy sitting next to me. I’m all for making new friends, but going to second base should happen on a second date.

Great time at our first polo match! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Parking was easy. The Argentinian BBQ by the Box Office house was off the charts tasty! Stadium seating was comfortable, easy to access, and provided great "up front" action. We were able to see the field well, especially from the center. The Stomping of the Divets was a lot of fun. Love to see everyone in their dresses and hats 👒 Absolutely worth $30 general admission

The candlelight concert was lovely. The performers were fantastic and the memories brought from the songs was wonderful. The concert gets a 5 The venue was the weak link. The Polo Club was a lovely facility outside. In the space the seats were too small so people were all over each other making the seating uncomfortable and the room warm Outside the room TVs were on ruining the intimacy of the candle effect the concert was supposed to have. Will see them perform again, it will be somewhere else. The venue is why this isn’t getting a full 5 stars

A must go if you’ve never been. Easy to park if you follow the directions from the parking attendant. Every thing is clearly marked for quick access as you get to the facility. If you’re sitting in the sun bring a small umbrella or wide brim hat. You will need it. In March prepare for some rain to fall. You can finally wear that stylish polo shirt you bought.
