We've been on distillery tours...bourbon tours. Not being a bourbon fan, I enjoy those tours for the history and the "art" of bottle and label design, but never the tasting. With this tour I enjoyed it ALL, especially the tasting...and the "touring cocktail". I learned a lot, too. Like, there is a distinct difference between the making of bourbon and rum. Take the tour to learn what that is. Our tour was approximately 45 minutes, ending back in the gift shop for the sampling. We made reservations for the 1 PM tour but arrived early and were able to be included in the noon tour. I don't think we had to pay for the tour. Our touring cocktail was "Wicked Punch" (Coconut Rum, Crystal Rum, Lime Juice, Pineapple Juice, Cranberry Juice, and Ice). It was delicious, and the best way to get us "into" the tour. Check the website for many more recipes. Two of the three sampling flavors were pineapple and key lime. I forgot the third. I enjoyed all three. I wanted to buy several bottles but we were flying and already had full suitcases. They do sell travel bags and provide instructions on how to pack the bottles in suitcases. For my next Florida trip, I'm driving, not flying, and saving lots of trunk space for some flavored rum bottles. The full size rum bottles do need to go in check bags when flying, but Wicked Dolphin does sell small bottles that can be placed in carry-on luggage. The catch is that they are only sold in sets of eight. You can choose any combination of flavors but in groups of eight. The gift shop is full of a wide variety of souvenirs, in addition to their distilled products. It's fun browsing. The staff were friendly and helpful, and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Outside is a nice sitting area, where you can either wait for your tour to begin or enjoy a drink after the tour. In the evenings they have events that are listed on their website, which can include live music and food trucks. We had other plans, so were not able to enjoy such an event. I highly encourage you to stop by if you're in the Cape Coral area. (The attached photos were taken during the tour. Most of the pics are in the order of the distillation process. The barrels and flavoring pics are at the end of the tour, but they were the first things I saw as I waited to use one of the two restrooms, located in the barrel room. That's why they are a bit out of order.)
The free rum tasting was great fun. Everyone was incredibly friendly. The different types of rum taste great and we bought some. It's worth a visit, also after the tasting again to the Tiki Bar with live music
A real gem of a place to visit. I was driving so could only enjoy tasting the sauces on offer whilst the rest of my party enjoyed tasting the Rum on offer. The host was knowledgeable and very friendly. The merchandise was also really impressive; taking home a couple of wooden decorations for our Christmas tree. Great experience...and that was not even on the tour...can't sing the praises of this place enough; now home in the UK and suppin' some banana wicked dolphin rum! ❤️
Absolutely must to do if you are in Cape Coral! Wonderful experience and plenty to taste.Friendliest team and tastiest rum in Florida!cheers 🍹
Wicked Dolphin Rum Distillery is a must-visit gem in Cape Coral! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making the tour both fun and informative. The handcrafted rum is absolutely delicious, with flavors that are unique and expertly blended. Sampling the rum during the tasting session was a highlight—each one had a distinct character and richness. The atmosphere is welcoming, and you can tell they put so much love into every bottle. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this is an experience you don’t want to miss. I’ll definitely be back to stock up and share with friends! We toured with Cape Coral chamber leadership class in 2022 and had a blast
Visited the Wicked Dolphin Distery. Took a tour that included free tastings and then had a cocktail at the their Tiki Bar. Jeff was our tour guide. Melissa and Kristina did our tasting after the tour. Angela was the bartender at the Tiki Bar. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend a visit to the Wicked Dolphin.
Loved this place!! Kristina was so much fun and extremely knowledgeable. The tour was very interesting..have a new respect for the rum making process. Everyone there seemed to love their job and believes in their product. Walked (stumbled) out with my new favorite brand of rum. 🤪
The Wicked Dolphin Distillery tour was an awesome experience! The tour was not only informative but also really fun. It was fascinating to see the process of how their rum is made, from start to finish. The highlight was definitely the tastings—they were fantastic, and you can really tell the quality of their products. If you’re in Southwest Florida, I highly recommend taking this tour. It’s a unique and enjoyable way to spend some time and learn about locally made rum. A must-visit!

Farmers' market
Food & Drink
Slide 1 of 8
There were so many unique vendors and items. We spent a while browsing and found so many interesting items. There was a nice selection of food trucks with a variety of foods. The crepe truck was a personal favorite, the best crepes I’ve had since visiting France. There was a hummus stall that has the best hummus I’ve had in a while. We can’t wait to go back to the market!
5 stars! This farmers market serves up the best burger around—perfect for starting your day right. The live background music by Yard Dog Charlie adds a great vibe to the experience.
The Cape Coral Farmers Market, run by the wonderful Claudia, is hands down one of the best weekend experiences around! From the moment you arrive, you can feel the friendly, welcoming vibe she has helped create. A must-stop is Gina’s Food Stand, where Frank and Cesar serve up absolutely terrific tacos — seriously, they are next level. Fresh, flavorful, and packed with love, it’s impossible to eat just one (trust me, I tried). Then there’s the cold brew at Jimmy’s Java — wow. It’s perfectly bold, smooth, and insanely refreshing, just what you need to keep the market stroll going strong. Plus, the barista, Reed, is not only super cute but also an absolute pleasure to talk to — friendly, funny, and full of great coffee recommendations! I couldn’t leave without picking up something for my fur babies — Top Dog Kitchen had the perfect find: chicken breast chips dog treats. Mylo, Bailey, and Jack went crazy for them! They’re clearly made with high-quality ingredients and lots of care. Claudia and all the vendors create such a special, vibrant atmosphere — it’s a can’t-miss Saturday adventure. Cape Coral Farmers Market truly feels like a little slice of paradise!
Holy cow! What an amazing experience. Vendors, atmosphere, variety. First time and we will be attending all the time moving forward.
It was nice to see a variety of vendors. Great produce and food options. A must visit if you are able to when in town. Watch where you step. Many dogs.
So many wonderful vendors! Great food and great people 🌞
They have a wide variety of booths with all types of foods and crafts to choose from. I must visit if you touring Cape Coral. It seems like it gets bigger every year.
Saturday Farmers Market in Cape Coral is great! Local Fruits and Veggies, local honey and cheeses, Fresh Bread, local seafood, and much more! Bring your own bags/baskets and support the local economy :)

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Seasonal amusement park with 14+ acres of waterslides, a lazy river & kids' water play area.
Slide 1 of 8
We love SunSplash and its because it’s small enough to feel safe in letting your kiddos explore and big enough to make a memorable day. We love to float around the lazy river which allows us, as parents to keep checking in with our eldest while having fun with our youngest who can’t go on all of the slides. It really has a little something for everyone and the new wave pool is a great addition! We highly recommend!
I recently visited Sunsplash Family Waterpark, and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. We arrived on a Saturday morning, a bit after 11 AM, and even though we had purchased our tickets in advance, we still had to wait in a long ticket line just to get our wristbands. The line stretched out into the parking lot with no shade, and once we finally got our wristbands, we had to wait in yet another equally long line to enter the park. The entire process took about 45 minutes. Only two out of four ticket booths were open, and there was just one person checking bags at the entrance, creating more delays. Once inside, we found no available spots to leave our belongings unless we rented a locker, which meant standing in yet another line. The Lazy River was another disappointment. The water was so cloudy that we couldn’t see through it, and it left my skin feeling itchy afterward. Plus, most of the inner tubes were either flat or unavailable unless you paid extra for a VIP rental. The wave pool that was supposed to be open mid June was still closed as well. We also encountered issues with the food service. The lines were confusing, and we waited 45 minutes for our food, which turned out to be disappointing in quality. My son’s pizza was inedible, and my chicken wrap was lackluster. The drink options were limited to soda, which didn’t suit everyone in our group. On a slightly positive note, the lifeguards were quick to respond when a kid needed help, though as a former lifeguard myself, I felt they could have followed protocol better. Overall, the day was filled with long waits and disappointments, and I wouldn’t recommend visiting unless some serious improvements are made.
We had a fun time at this water park on a beautiful sunny afternoon in August. The staff are friendly and professional. They have slides for all levels and ages. Life vests for non swimmers. We experienced the mini wave pool which was great for an intro to duck diving under the waves for the little ones. I managed to snap a few photos on the way out! Worth the trip and I give it a thumbs up!
This was a nice water park. Only thing was the service was very very slow and there was not enough tubes to go down the lazy river. Other than that, as long as you get here early you can enjoy so fun with your kids. About 130 ish it starts to get very packed.
Such a great day! The slides were exciting, the wave pool was a blast, and the kids had a fantastic time. Everything felt safe and well-maintained. Perfect place to beat the heat and make some fun memories! Season pass is the way to go!!
We went here for the first time last Saturday. We were able to get a 4-Pack Groupon. What can I say? We had a BLAST!!! My wife said that she wouldn't mind getting a membership here! We specifically enjoyed the Body slides and the Wave Pool! It was a REALLY fun time! Cant believe it took us this long to go!!!! But we'll FOR SURE be back!
This is a great place to have fun as a family. The best ticket is the best deal, which includes a combo meal and unlimited fountain beverages all day. They have a variety of slides and a pool for children of all ages, including babies ( kids 2 years and under are free). There are a lot of tables and chairs provided for eating your lunches. The food is delicious, except for the pizza 😫, their waffle fries were served fresh, hot, and nicely. I would recommend the chicken wrap combo. The staff are very attentive, especially the lifeguards. There are 2 to 4 lifeguards at each pool safety is their number one priority.
Great place but small for the amount of people that attend. They make you wait for tubes, which literally can take an hour if you need a tube for a particular water slide. Lunch / concession stand took 45 minutes for a $30 pizza and French fries, everyone in line was pretty aggravated about the wait and people were growing impatient. Other than that, they have great slides and features, just dont go on a Saturday like we did....big mistake.

Nice boardwalk path through the mangroves. I went on a cool morning in April. Most of the walk was shaded by the mangrove trees. It was a fairly long walk with benches along the path if you need to rest. The board walk leads to two piers that reach out over the Caloosahatchee River. Nice walk.
Just over the midpoint bridge heading into Cape Coral on the right hand side is this Incredible Veteran's Memorial Park inside Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve. You can have a picnic lunch or bring a fishing pole & make a day of it with friends. So much to explore including a beautiful Catwalk to bird watch & sightsee. An adventure for everyone to enjoy.
It has a nice nature trail boardwalk throughout the mangroves and marshes. We saw what we think were otter tracks, but otherwise we didn't really see much as far as wildlife. There's plenty of parking, decent bathrooms, and the Veterans park right at the entrance. Overall, it's a cool little park to meander around in.
Such a beautiful place to disconnect and enjoy nature. The boardwalk through the mangroves was peaceful, and I saw several beautiful birds. Everything is well maintained and admission is free. At the end, there’s a scenic lookout over the water with truly spectacular views. A perfect spot for a quiet walk. I’ll definitely be back
I love it here the air feels cleaner, not to hot when walking inside the park. I do think the city should organizing a cleanup to pick up all the dead palm fronds that’s is piling up to give new plants and mangroves to be able to thrive. Plus it make the park look nicer and to show the city cares. Other the. That good park I notes bathroom has been upgrade.
This was a relaxing short walk around the boardwalk. We went early in the morning and saw a few locals (wildlife). You can also go fishing at one of their piers. It's also a memorial for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Freedom is NOT free!
Nice quiet space to walk- there was a lot of mosquitoes there. We were so happy to see a dolphin swimming around. There is also a lot of herbs/medicinal plants there as well.
What a beautiful place to visit. Very well preserved. Would recommend to bring bug spray. The walk is not strenuous but it is long so a good pair of walking shoes is also recommended. The bathrooms were clean and private.

Expansive display of military artifacts from all major American wars, with an extensive library.
Slide 1 of 8
This small all volunteer-staffed military museum houses multiple uniforms, artifacts, hats, medals, and other military items. Most items are treasures that have been donated by family members. The gift shoppe is the center part of the museum with all the display items on the outer part. Well worth a visit!
Interesting military museum that is free of charge. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t take you to the correct location. I had to ask a security guard if the museum was still in the mall and he pointed me in the right direction.
We visited while on vacation. This was my son's pick for a place to visit because he loves anything to do with History especially War History. The kids all loved doing the scavenger hunt and they all got a prize to. The employees here are amazing. This place was a hidden gem... the work that was put into this small museum is outstanding and even us whom don't have much interest in the subject of military history loved every minute of it.
This place is awesome. Took my grandfather here who is a veteran and he absolutely loved it. My husband is currently serving in the army and I know that he would have loved this place as well. All of the wars are here plus a few other surprises. Great place to remember our veterans and fallen heroes.
To fully experience the museum you have to be prepared to spend a few hours here. There's just that much to see. I did a solo tour, but I did speak with one of the guides briefly and he was friendly and quite knowlegable about the various artifacts throughout the museum. Admission is free, so there's no reason not to visit.
This small museum is full of items from various wars, uniforms from over a century, have a dining area and library. They even sell books! My favorite part were the artifacts and the exetremely friendly veterans who happily greeted us as we entered. They also have a kid coloring book that includes a scavenger hunt. This definitely helped make this a fun learning adventure for our 10 year old son. Our entire family learned so many things and we had a blast. This will always be one of our stops if we are in the Fort Myers area. It educational, fun, and free. Highly recommend!!!!
Lots and lots of military artifacts from all American wars and all branches. Lunches for Veterans, a library, store for Veterans and others. Guides for groups. Assistance with VA claims by appointment. Terrific museum for kids of all ages.
Wonderful place! I wish a wealthy donor would adopt this place so it could be more graciously done. Our Vets deserve that. The volunteers that "man" this museum are awesome. Thank you all and God bless you for your service!

Lovely park with beautiful trails. Very serene and great walking environment. Nearby glover trail still has a partition blocking access to the boardwalk though. Would love to see that amended someday.
There is about 1 mile of walking trails that are passable during the dry season, but they get pretty narrow the closer to the water you get. So, I would recommend pants if you really want to get out and hike further into the vegetation. The tower provides a nice view of the surrounding area.
Great place to learn about wildlife and other learning classes are available. Every now and then they have plants displayed by other individuals for sale. Free mulch is available now and then. There's a dog park and walking trail for your pets on a leash. Butterfly cage and iguana cage are on the grounds, with certain times for tours and visitors.
Well maintained park on the water. The dog park has a "membership" requirement. It has two sides both with ample seating and shade. Dogs are not allowed on trails. The trails are along water and anytime water is wet in Fl, there are gators. There is a butterfly atrium and garden with scheduled tours. There is a community building but I did not go in. There are quite a few picnic shelters. Work out areas scattered around park.
I visited Rotary Park to take my dog to the dog park. To enter, you have to go to the office to get a code, which was new to me. I’ve never had to do that before, so I chose not to go inside. There was also a sign warning about coyotes in the area, which made me a little uneasy and kept me on alert. I decided to sit at a picnic bench out front with my dog for lunch instead. Even though the coyote warning isn’t the park’s fault, it did make it hard to fully relax. That said, the park itself was very clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained. It’s tucked away in a nice, secluded area, which makes it feel peaceful and well cared for.
This is one of our nicest parks Lee County has to offer. It's dog friendly, which is great!!! To use the doggy park you will need to register and pay a minimal fee yearly. Tho, you can walk your dog on a leash on the walking, running, jogging, bicycling path. It has a small trail to hike, but dogs are not allowed on the trail. This park is one the most maintained and cleanest parks I've been to. It offers doggy bags in many locations. I personally walk this park and think it's one of the safest. We need more parks like this one! It has become my refuge when I need to breathe. Go enjoy the outdoors, but make sure to bring sunscreen and bug spray!!
This place is so breathtaking this is my second time here. There's an iguana that is named Green Day. He is amazing. Beautiful park for the kids, very nice trail with a 3 story loft you and look around. Oh and u can't forget the dog park it's so big everything is so nice and peaceful.
Beautiful winding trails, a kids park, tons of gardens. We saw some wild iguanas! They do have a drinking fountain and bathroom area

Probably the best art Gallery in the area. All local artists. I am/was the featured artist there in August 2023. Three of my pieces.
My first time here yesterday. The Artist on site was so informative, knowledgeable and a great teacher! I ended up purchasing a Joseph Tullbane Original watercolor. He is this months Featured Artist. His work is magnificent and stirred my soul! I'll be back soon!!!
Visiting from out of town and stopped into this gallery. Beautiful pieces, with a great variety of art and talented artists. The gallery owner is wonderful lady.
Cape Coral’s best gallery featuring only LOCAL artists across a broad range of mediums and styles. Each month they feature 2 new artists so their offerings are always fresh and unique. Their location in the waterfront Cape Harbour entertainment, shopping and dining district is sure to offer something for everyone. The gallery is staffed by the artists themselves which allows for an unique face-to-face experience like no other. Pricing is fair and covers the entire range of pricing which makes it a great place to pick up a few gifts for loved ones or to invest in an artist original piece. Highly recommended and worth the experience.
Super cute with tons of great stuff! And they support local artists and feature different mediums each month. We will definitely be back each month - great stuff for gifts as well, including personalized items!
This place is fantastic! So many incredible local artists AND the opportunity to purchase their unique pieces of art! We look forward to checking this place out every time we return to Cape Coral !
Very cool gallery as well as the surrounding shops and walking areas. Artistic inside and out. Really can't say much else other than go and see, because it's worth it!

We went today to see the tour and it was extremely nice. Good to hear about the history from cape coral! Nice guide as well! !
The museum has some interesting displays and you can tell the staff really care about preserving Cape Coral’s history. It’s a nice quick stop if you’re in the area and want to learn a bit about how the city started. That said, it’s quite small and doesn’t take long to go through I expected a little more for the admission price. Still, the volunteers were kind and it’s good for a short visit or rainy day activity.
My family (11 yr old included) really enjoyed this historic venue. We spent about an hour and a half here, taking a tour. The tour includes a short film regarding the history of Cape Coral and a guided, private tour of 3 buildings of displays and artifacts. Since we're new homeowners here, we were fascinated with the development history especially! Worth the $10!
2 hours far from closing. This ladies looked annoyed when I knock on the door, afterwards they were polite and told me that they were not opened. So I sat on the parking lot for a few minutes. 2 gentleman entered the museum and apparently had a different answer bcs they were still inside 15 minutes after entering. Don't waste your time trying to learn the history of this town if you're not white!
I loved that they had a celebration for veterans.
It was small but informative. We learned things we didn't know. Interesting if you want to know the history of the place.
Very nice. Staff was great. Good history lesson.
Thank you for raffle win 💞

Great local business bringing fantastic beer and a unique environment. Wide selection of beers that range from traditional to very creative, such as flavored by watermelon. Staff is always pleasant. Love the rotating food trucks. These folks are great about collaborating with local businesses and participating in the downtown events and pub crawls.
totally recommend - love this place. excellent beer & selection. super friendly staff. laid back great environment. they often have special events on different days of the week like trivia, food trucks, meat raffle, etc. exceeds expectations!
This place always has great beer and a nice atmosphere. Good bands, but it's always too loud for such a small place. We often sit outside, so we can enjoy our beer without going deaf.
The beertender has an awesome mustache and is knowledgeable and friendly. We went on Sunday afternoon and they had a pretty good jam session going on. Would definitely come back. We are glad that there is another opportunity to drink local in Lee county.
Stopped in during a trip to visit family and it happened to be right in the middle of Trivia night. The place was packed and it looked like everyone was having a great time. Tried a few of the brews and grabbed a growler to go since we were supposed to meeting others later. The bartender was very nice and introduced himself and offered a tour.
Great staff, fun atmosphere. The beer here is all unique and brewed right in the back of the taproom. On Saturdays they host one of the best trivia nights in the area. Lots of fun!
How a local Brewery should be. First, great beer. Second, awesome people. Third, relaxed location. They have a free book library, board games, foosball, cornhole - and tons of events pretty much every night. Nice, dog friendly patio too. Definitely a place to check out if you are into beer, or just a fun place to take friends/visitors!
Stopped in today to check out their beers and we left very impressed with quite a few of their beers. We typically visit 4-6 different craft breweries a month, so we have an idea of what good brews are like. This place isn't like a lot of Florida breweries that have just low ABV light beers. They have a good mix of traditional German beers and some small batch experimental batches. Loved their kolsch and Fest brews the best. Added bonus was the the BBQ food truck out front, only $10 for a pork sandwich, Mac n cheese and a pint of beer. Only in Cape Coral for 3 more days, but we will go back again for another growler fill!

Tiny waterfront park with manatee viewing areas, fishing & a kayak/paddleboard launch.

Nice little river walk park, dog friendly, bathrooms and a fishing pier. Also has a kayak launch that is ADA compliant. Lots of wildlife to see
I found this park while riding around Cape Coral on my ebike. This is a really nice public park / recreation area. It runs along a canal for several hundred yards. It has ample free parking. There are smooth, finished cement paths that loop thru the park. The pathway follows along the canal, and there are several modern docks for viewing the scenery & wildlife. There is a dock and "shoot" for launching kayaks. There is also a small pier where fishing is allowed. The park has benches under shade trees, picnic tables, and plenty of places to put your own chair and read a book or just relax and enjoy the birds, the plants, and palm trees. There was even an area at one end of the park where rare burrowing owls have ground nests. You'll see many 2' white poles in the ground wherever these owls nest are known to be in the Cape Coral area. This park is a peaceful, relaxing, quiet, clean and safe place to bring your kids or your mom. AAA+++ (My highest rating)
Beautiful small stroll with an osprey nest & butterfly garden. There are plenty of spots to cast from and places to sit. Good place to play pokemon if you are interested in that 😆
Lovely place with a very nice kayak launch. Great place to kayak, and just relax out floating in the intertwining mangrove trails carved in the waterways.
Great place to put in a kayak and go for a paddle.
We had a wonderful day enjoying the water and watching the birds. We rented a tandem kayak, a single kayak and a stand up paddle board from a local company. Even the dog had a wonderful time. Very peaceful and quiet and very enjoyable.
Very different kind of kayak launch! I probably didn’t know how to use it properly, but I did find it more difficult to get the kayak in and out. However, it was way more stable for people to get in and out of the kayak. Lots of free parking. At 7am, the bathrooms were locked, and the two out houses didn’t have toilet paper, so you may want to plan for that! The waters were like glass most of the paddle! There wasn’t a strong current, small breezes, and like no shade so a hat and sunscreen were a must! Very cool to paddle through the mangroves. Saw lots of birds and some fish and crabs along the way.
Great place to launch the kayak from!! Plenty of parking and there's bathrooms. It's a short paddle out to the preserve through the canal where you can spot manatees. The fishing is good. There's some oyster beds and a mixture of sand/grass flats. Plenty of wildlife and mangrove tunnels to explore. I'll be back. I managed to catch a nice snook while fishing.

Very upscale place where the Westin hotel is located along with Pinchers crab shack. We did a little early morning unauthorized fishing off the seawall and caught a nice sized amberjack? I'm not a fish expert.
Gas prices for boats is the best. Beautiful area, shops, restaurants and the Westin hotel are ideal for those that like boating. We ate at Pinchers and had the best server, Cha-anne!
Place locked all the doors to customers when it started to rain. Lighting and full downpour. Not safe. Some of us wanted to get dry clothes but they locked everyone out and for what you ask. The guy I spoke to said he didn’t want wet floors. This was a horrible experience and the most rude people. Wet floors at a marina? Get your customers out of the weather and you would have had some sales.
Would've liked to try this but after getting seated we waited 15 minutes as several waitress walked past and didn't even acknowledge we were there. Went to bar to get our own drink and the bartender disappeared. Told the hostess we were looking to get a drink and she just said"oh". Went back to table a little longer, tried the bar again with same results. Got up and left, told both hostesses no one would wait on us and received no response. I don't think I'm invisible but sure felt like it. Won't be back.
Loved the beach. Beautiful great shelling too. A lot of people but plenty of room.
Great place to fill up your boat and grab something to eat and drink. Very friendly staff
Really nice docks and facilities, and easy to get to fuel dock. It seems to be very protected from wind as well.
Had a great night watching the band High Tide with some great appetizers.

This park is fantastic, and it's not even finished yet! There's a section that is more for little kids play area that's currently open. There's several picnic tables available, and it is fenced in. Just outside at the fence, there's a lake and a sandy beach! There, there is a small walking trail and barbecue pits in the distance. There's a public restroom, just inside and a facility where you can rent out for a birthday parties that is air conditioned. There's also a preschool located here! Signs state the park is dog friendly. Can't wait for the rest of the playground to be complete.
Very nice upbeat people lady knows whats up with the shaved ice business. Very friendly customer oriented they are the icing on the cake, great cool off place in the park.
My dog Mika and I really miss going to this park. Cape Coral really destroyed the the natural beauty. So they could put in a bar. She misses going there
Cape Coral boat parade 2024. Just a disaster trying to park. We came early to get a good parking spot. This year they did not let you park close and in the bank parking lot. They said it eas for the vendors and entertainment. That did not help us senior citizens that have trouble walking. I stopord to ask a question of the parking directors and i thought i commiting murder....they were not very nice. If alm the property that the city bought was vacant than why werent we directed to park in those parking lots. Poor planning if you ask me.
One of the few places in the South Cape where you can find shade mid day. Trees are cool! Recommend for a hot summer day dog walk.
Went for the Sunset Fest vendor event and enjoyed myself. Saw lots of cool jewelry pieces, listened to some music and just enjoyed a nice walk with my dog. The view of the marina is beautiful and the park is very well maintained.
Quaint, quiet, and breathtaking views. This park is on a backstreet conveniently tucked behind a locally owned ice cream shop off Cape Coral Parkway. My little family has visited and walked through many times with our two fur babies. We even had a small family photoshoot here for holiday cards. There is a gated children's park (how smart and safe!), gazebos with picnic tables scattered throughout the area, lots of beautiful trees and landscaping, and then the best part is the mini beach. Sunset is such a gorgeous time to walk through as the sun hits the water just right. It's not a huge park, but it sure is nice.
Nice simple park for the kids and it's fenced off so none can run or get lost. There is a school next to it that is amazing and took very good care of my child while she was there as well. They doom hangouts and parent event there as well too

Lori and Debbie were very gracious and kind and full of information! Beware of the Captain. He will get under your feet because he wants out. See picture below. Very nice morning activity. Recommended.
Very peaceful, gave me the feeling of "Zen" I was looking for. Definitely on my "must go" in Cape Coral list. Rotary park is a perfect place to spend a day or at least a few hours. Educational, peaceful, dog friendly, playground for the kids picnic areas & lots of trails to explore. Oftentimes they have free plants available to visitors as well!
Smaller, but wonderfully kept exhibit. Staffed by friendly and knowledgeable curators.
Love it! Small but personal. My grandsons had a great time. Thank you to all the volunteers!
Our son love this park, is perfect for the kids and families ❤️🙏
So basically, it’s too hot in there. they provided a fan, but make sure you don’t stand in front of it, because they will make u move. when i left the building, two butterflies flew out. Not my fault.
They need to get better and adequate caging for their lizard’s, better vegetation a better environment more shade places for them to hide lizards do not like being exposed. They like to hide the iguana looks like the saddest creature on earth and he will side you with sadness this is animal abuse.
This beautiful butterfly house is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves nature and the beauty of butterflies. The butterfly house is filled with a wide variety of butterflies, including native and exotic species. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the butterflies, and they're always happy to share their knowledge and answer questions. The butterfly house is well-maintained, with a variety of plants and flowers that provide food and shelter for the butterflies. Visitors can walk through the butterfly house and observe the butterflies up close as they flutter around and feed on nectar. One of the highlights of the butterfly house is the butterfly release, where visitors can release a butterfly into the wild. It's a great way to experience the magic of butterflies and connect with nature. The butterfly house also offers educational programs for children and adults, where visitors can learn more about butterfly conservation and the importance of protecting their habitat. Overall, my visit to the Tom Allen Memorial Butterfly House was a wonderful experience. It's a peaceful and beautiful place that offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of butterflies. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and educational outdoor experience.

Picked up the most beautiful sailboat canvas print. 2' x 3". The centerpiece in our home.
Went in here to look at art and jewelry, staff is extremely rude. I asked a question politely and employee barked back at me stating there was a sign with the information clearly on the door (did not see it), will not return.
My wife & I visited Lorne's Gallery today for our first time. Chuck was so helpful working with us to find the perfect oil painting for our living room. We thought the quality of paintings were exceptional that were on display and priced very affordable based on quality and one of a kind items. Thank You, Chuck for helping make our shopping experience an awesome event today.
Beautiful art, Deco, Jewelry and gifts for all occasions. Friendly staff and extremely helpful.
Lorne has a great variety and beautiful artwork. We have many of their pictures!
Variety of wall art from funky to fun, fabric art and jewelry. Located among a few other shops on the water/Marina and restaurants.
Best place to shop for beautiful artwork.
Great talent abounds!

Wow, just WOW! Our 8 year old daughter just finished one of the summer camp sessions here and we are just blown away! So is she! She attended the Willy Wonka Session of Theatre Camp, it was a two week session from 9am-4pm and at the end of it they put on the musical. As parents we were blown and I mean blown away by the what they all accomplished in just two weeks! We went to an after party for the kids and it wasn’t just us that were super impressed, all of the parents were just amazed! Our daughter was given a small role in the musical, perfect for her age and experience. Each day that I picked her up, she would be beaming and so pumped by the experience. She has had an interest in theatre since she was young but this just solidified it. The counselors were Highschool graduates who had grown up in the program and loved it, you could tell each day at drop off. There were kids of ALL ages there, our daughter was one of the youngest at 8 years old and kids went all the way to highschool age. Even with that vast age difference, they ALL were kind to each other and accepting. It was awesome for my daughter to see some mentors. She saw older kids helping younger kids and got to experience comradeship at its best. She was taught to practice and study, to get her role right. She had to audition for her role, which gave her insight on being brave, handling nervous energy and how to push through. Theatre camp teaches so many important life lessons, we are so thrilled we found this camp. It turns out that we discovered this camp has been going on for quite awhile, I ran into partner of kids in their 30’s who went to this camp as kiddos. So they obviously know what they are doing and how to be successful! Highly recommend, it will be the highlight to your kids summer as it was for our daughter. She’s begging for next year already!
Wonderful theater! Seats are comfy and spacious. Staff is extremely friendly and efficient. We saw the show Southern Fried Chicken and it was hilarious and all of the cast was amazing! Plenty of snacks and beverages, including adult beverages, to enjoy while watching the show as well. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. Keep up the good work!!
Wanted to experience the Cape Coral culture. We got tickets and enjoyed the show. It was a nice experience. Will look forward to other shows.
Great park for getting your steps in! Great walking trails. Fun playground, nice picnic shelter. Rose garden also.
We saw Nana Naughty Knickers. The story line was ok but did not appreciate the use of "god damn" used a number of times. That took away from the funnyness of the lines. Little over acting on Bridgett lines. She was good but over the top at times. We like the theater and it is a comfortable setting.
Adorable kids production! Performers were amazing especially since this was about 8 days of full time prep and learning lines and songs! Bravo! I will be back!
My wife and I saw Crimes of the Heart today at the 3pm show. I am ashamed to say it was our first time here and I have lived on the Cape since 1973. I can honestly say I have missed out on a lot by not coming to a play here. This community theater is a wonderful place to spend a couple hours a see local performers. There isn't a bad seat to view from. Crimes of the Heart is funny and is a play most of us can find common ground in. As I was raised in the South, I saw similarities to some of my own relatives. I thought the actors captured the zaniness and dysfunction so many families experience. Don't miss out on a fun afternoon. Check out Crimes of The Heart. We will be coming to future plays!
This is a nice local live theater facility. Low cost drinks, beer/wine and candy. We saw Grease last night 3/16/23. All High School cast and truthfully they were pretty good. Wow the gal playing Rizzo was excellent!! The seats were spacious and very comfortable. Seriously, there’s not a bad seat in the house. Our only negative, which is a BIG one, causing us to likely not attend again, is a lady in front of us was taking photos and video throughout the show. In a dark theater, that bright IPhone held up blocking our view and shining that bright light in our eyes was so annoying, distracting and took away from our enjoyment of the show. A worker was sitting right behind us and seemed oblivious to this. So, please Staff: When you ask everyone to silence their phones not to distract others before the show starts; PLEASE ASK FOR NO PHOTOS OR VIDEOS DURING THE SHOW. Seriously so irritating that we left after the 1st Act. A waste of two tickets for sure.
