The 26 best free attractions in Naples

The pier was broken from the hurricane when i visited and the public isn't allowed to enter. Parking here is very expensive so take that into consideration. The beach still looked nice even though it was raining before. The renders of the new pier look promising, can't wait to see it when it's done.

Very awesome beach! Sand feels like sugar in your toes! 2nd time in my life at 42 being at the ocean. I'm glad I got to visit here a couple times during our visit. My 4 year old loved sifting sea shells. There are bathrooms and outdoor showers to wash sand off. Water was nice and salty. Got to watch the sunset. That was awesome. Nice long distance lots of room for everyone. Everyone is friendly. So relaxing. .

Drove from Miami, stopped on my way up to Tampa because the pier is so highly regarded. Turns out it has been closed for a while. The fisherman are still out today though, the sand is soft and white, folks enjoying the beach, and the sound of the waves are still nice. Will be great if the pier ever reopens. Bathrooms are clean, there are lifejackets available for public use (mainly for kids) and the area seems maintained well. Parking is available just short walk down the street for $5 per hour. Public beach access

Naples Pier is one of the most iconic and relaxing spots in the area. The pier is currently under repair but there is access to the beach. The beach surrounding the pier is absolutely beautiful, with soft white sand and typically crystal-clear waters that are calm and peaceful—perfect for swimming, lounging, or just floating in the water. It’s an ideal place for families or anyone looking to unwind by the ocean without big waves or strong currents. The pier itself offers some of the most stunning views in Naples. Whether you walk out to enjoy the ocean breeze, watch people fish, or catch the sunset, the perspective from the end of the pier is truly special. On clear days, the colors of the water range from turquoise to deep blue, creating postcard-worthy scenery. It’s a must-visit if you’re in Naples.

Definitely recommend this place! It’s so beautiful here. Unfortunately the pier was still closed last time we visited (Winter 2024). Hasn’t been open since Ian. Hopefully they’ll open it up soon again tho :]

Beautiful beaches and area, but pier was closed down. Looks like the end was destroyed.

What a beautiful place! The beach is really pretty and while the pier is not open due to hurricane damage, it doesn't take away from the beauty of the area. There are lots of shells and if you walk north, it's a lot less crowded. Parking is a challenge - took us awhile but we eventually got a spot in the paid lot across the street from the entrance. Definitely get there early if you want parking. The restrooms are also clean - big win.

very nice museum, we spent about an hour and a half here, some very cool items on display including a refurbished rail road dining car from the 1920s. Air conditioned, plenty of parking, bathrooms on site, and near the downtown restaurants and about a block and a half away from the trolley 🚎. It was free to enter!

A vety surprising museum with high quality exhibits. There are some "standard" artifacts but the displays are well designed and the information is presented in a very accessible way. The conductor office and silver train car are worth the trip for this free museum. Donations accepted, and worth a few bucks at the least.

Lots of displays and information about trains. The diorama was extremely impressive. So much detail! It was also really cool being able to go into the full-sized train in the back. The gal at the front was super friendly and nice. When we came here, they happened to be having a Lionel train event as well and that just added to the experience.

Excellent presentation of the history of transportation for Naples. Includes beautifully restored passenger rail car and it's 1947 iteration. It really will give you an idea of the span of history and how many people it took to make what we have today.

Very interesting place that is free admission, learn all about SWF/Naples train history both passenger and freight as well as the history of Naples from the Indian tribes dating back 8000 B.C up to modern day. I was here several years ago and it was fun then to.

Super cool little FREE museum! A must see!!!! I took lots of pics but don't want to ruin it! Definitely gotta come here😁

Great place for the weekends with the family and little ones. Free admission and close to the beach and downtown. I believe the train rides for the young ones are available in October.

Really really great place to catch a sunset! The shuttle is a really nice amenity and the shuttle driver was the absolute BEST... Just the nicest friendliest man. I had a really hard time finding information on how much a chair or umbrella would cost, I tried calling, tried looking on the website. I ended up just going and hoping for the best .... For those wondering it's $50 for a single chair and umbrella. I think that's the flat price. Which if you go in the morning and use it all day is probably reasonable.... If you go 3 hours before sunset.... It can be a painful pricetag to swallow. There's a lot of pictures out there showing white sands and turquoise blue water at this location .... Just remember that it's the ocean and it changes. When I went it was dookie brown and you couldn't see your feet in ankle deep water. This location is also pretty popular so be prepared for a little crowding right off the main pier where the restaurant and bathrooms are. There's plenty of space if you're willing to walk down the beach some. I would say my overall experience was really nice.... However I think in the future I might try to find a cheaper option.

Beautiful beach. Need an umbrella tho as no shade. No seaweed. Free trolley from cAr park to beach. Otherwise a 20 mins walk under loads of spiders!! We only had an esim so couldnt use the text 2 park facility. We asked a local and they kindly did the transaction for us on their app. 10 dollars to park. Should be some other facility to pay online.rather than text.

Scenic 3/4 mile walk opens up to beautiful white sand beach. Shuttle rides and concessions available.

Great beach spot with restaurant and cabana bar. Free carts to beach. Keep in mind returning on the carts from the beach back to the parking lot can get very long towards the end of the day, plan accordingly or be prepared to walk about 15 minutes.

Clam Pass Park is a large mangrove forest surrounding several small bays with a beach extending along the gulf side. A three-quarter mile boardwalk winds through the mangroves from the parking lot to the beach. My wife and I spent the better part of a day there: we swam in the gulf, looked at plants and spiders along the boardwalk (signs explain what to see), and watched the sunset from the deck of the cafe (look for the green flash). A large sandbar a few yards off the shore allow safe swimming. Food, cocktails, and restrooms are available. Free trams are available to those who do not want to walk the boardwalk, but please show your appreciation by tipping the driver.

My niece was having her bridesmaids meet down here in Florida where I live. She went to school down here years ago. And she had to go to her favorite beach and it’s still awesome.

One of the best spots in Naples, FL. All kind of facilities and a beautiful beach.

This lovely garden is worth a visit if in area, peaceful and quiet. There’s many water exhibits w/ waterfalls and water lilies of all colors, my favorite part. There are a few unpaved trails to walk, we didn’t have the proper shoes, definitely a sneaker walk along the water. We stopped into the Fogg cafe which had sandwiches, salads and drinks. Go check it out, it’s probably beautiful in the cooler months.

A great place to get away but try to not go after noon if you can. There is lots of shade if you do go when it's sunny. Pack mosquito repellent! The lily pads are beautiful.

Absolutely stunning, these gardens are just beautiful, such a wide range of flora and fauna from all over the world. Definitely worth a stop for a few hours.

What a lush and serene garden! Our visit was in early October, so it was very warm but there's lots of shade. We spent several hours walking through interesting architecture and views with large established plantings. The large pool full of lilypads 🐸has an infinity edge that cascades as a gorgeous waterfall⛲. This grand waterfall can be viewed walking up a path to the pool, so there is a fun discovery feeling as you tour. The garden club "idea garden" 💡 is quite whimsical - I can imagine the fun & collaboration by the members to plan and complete the many projects it encompasses. Nice job, club members! The Fogg Cafe has excellent choices with a lovely patio. I had a black bean burger 🍔 yum! Thank you to the creative hard working people who keep this place a beauty.

I really love Naples Botanic Gardens, it is such a calm and interesting place. I love the trail walks that are within the gardens there is always lots to see including different birds and reptiles. The cafe does great food and the prices are extreme. In short this is a beautiful place to spend a day.

Naples Botanical Garden is hands down one of the most peaceful, inspiring, and beautifully maintained places I’ve ever visited. From the moment you walk through the entrance, you’re transported into a world of vibrant color, calming sounds, and nature’s finest beauty. This isn’t just a garden—it’s an immersive experience. Each section is themed to represent different regions of the world, and the attention to detail is absolutely incredible. The Brazilian Garden bursts with bold tropical plants and unique sculptures, while the Asian Garden provides a sense of calm and reflection with its bamboo, water features, and peaceful pathways. The Caribbean Garden has a relaxed, coastal vibe that makes you feel like you’ve escaped to a quiet island paradise. One of my personal favorites was the Florida Garden, which celebrates the natural landscape and native plants of the state. It’s educational, beautiful, and a perfect reminder of how much Florida has to offer. The Children’s Garden is a gem of its own—playful, interactive, and filled with surprises for the little ones, yet still enjoyable for adults walking through. There are plenty of shaded paths, benches, and quiet areas to just sit and take it all in. The garden is extremely clean, well cared for, and the staff and volunteers are always friendly and willing to share knowledge about the plants and exhibits. There’s also a charming café with indoor and outdoor seating that offers a great spot to relax with a drink or snack while overlooking the water. If you’re looking for a place to reflect, connect with nature, or just enjoy a few peaceful hours surrounded by beauty, Naples Botanical Garden is a must-visit. Whether you’re a plant lover or just someone in need of a peaceful escape, you’ll leave refreshed, inspired, and already planning your next visit.

Lovely way to spend a few hours! Great place to stroll, stop for a glass of wine, enjoy the sounds and smells. Great cafe and Gift Shop as well. Orchids were spectacular.

If you’re looking for a fun and safe place for kids, this park is amazing! It has clean playgrounds, lots of space to run around, and plenty of shade for parents to relax. Highly recommended for a family day out!

This a huge park with two options for children to play on depending on their age. They also have swings and a blue climbing web. My children love coming here and will stay here for hours if I let them. There are bathrooms nearby and additional free parking in the parking garage. I highly recommend stopping by this park if you are near 5th avenue.

What a crazy awesome park. Very well maintained with pretty much anything you could think of plus some more. Took the kids to play on the playground but they have everything here. Nice clean restrooms so you could spend all day here trying to wear your kids out. Thought the tree was cool

Amazing park for kids and parents! We love it. Highly recommend!

This playground is an absolute gem for the little ones! The area’s beautiful and super clean, with plenty of shady spots for parents to relax while the kids run wild. Parking’s a breeze with easy street access, and the whole place has that laid-back Florida vibe.

Really nice park, playground is shaded and set up for kids of all ages. Very well maintained and clean.

This place is awesome!! Rain fell in torrents earlier in the day but the park remained fairly dry due to the covers around play areas. My kid loves it here! Def coming back!

Beautiful building and collection of cars! You could really spend the whole day here exploring! Very interesting history and the volunteers walking around are so helpful and informative! They really have a love of cars and history. I would definitely recommend this place!

Very fun museum if you like older and unique cars. A wide variety of Porsche’s. Some very early cars to look at. I would highly recommend one of the tours. We did the one hour tour with Tom and it was fantastic. He gave so much great and interesting information. The gift shop is a little small and can get crammed after all of the tours and with a lot of people in there. Other than that, a very great experience. The staff we interacted with were all great.

A stunning collection of cars - old and new! Very nice that one can get up close to the cars as there are no ropes to keep visitors back. The staff are a mine of information I have been here many times. They have an open hood day every now again when the hoods of some of the cards are open/removed to showcase the engines. Well worth a visit - good place for a rainy day!

I recently completed the RevsEd Simple Automotive Maintenance class at the Revs Institute, taught by Mike and Ian, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The hands-on class was perfect for beginners—informative and relaxed. The instructors were great at explaining things in simple terms, making even basic car maintenance feel fun. We learned useful skills like checking fluids, changing a tire and tire safety, changing fuses, and much more. The atmosphere was friendly and encouraging, and you could tell the instructors truly enjoy teaching and sharing their expertise. I highly recommend this class. It’s a great blend of learning and fun, and a wonderful way to experience Revs Institute’s passion for automobiles up close! 🚗👏

Staying in the area at a RV Park as part of our three week trip around FL. A visit to the REVS Institute was a planned stop. It was $20 per person but in our opinion well worth it. If you have any interest in automobiles, this is a must stop. Plenty of volunteers available to answer questions and you can sign up for a guided tour. Nice gift shop, restrooms on 1st and 2nd floor but none on the 3rd. Really enjoyed our time here and they had no issues with my Service Dog who enjoyed the cool air. If you are in the area, highly recommend stopping here for a visit.

Fantastic place. The best car museum exhibits I have ever been to. Wonderfully staged, and the volunteers are very knowledgeable and at every exhibit. If you're in the area don't miss this one.

There are about 120 cars in this huge 80000 square foot venue in Naples. The cars are in pristine condition and are historically significant. There is a focus on racing cars and the museum provides a real cultural experience on the history of the automobile. There is a large exhibit featuring dozens of rare Porsches and a collection of beautiful hood ornaments. The docents and guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. A self tour will take about 2 hours. Tickets can only be purchased online and the museum is open three days a week. The museum has been ranked in the top five in the U.S. I will return the next time I’m in Naples. I highly recommend this museum.

A quintessential Florida home that sits among the most lavish jaw dropping homes in Naples. Find a parking spot and watch the sunset a block or so away.

Got an fantastic tour of the Palm Cottage. The dosin was very informative. The Historical Society did an excellent job restoring the Cottage from all the hurricane damage. We enjoyed our visit.

Interesting...historial building downtown. We took the tour. $ Guide gives history of area and downtown and first settlements in Naples. Kiwi photo is from the garden outside of the cottage.

Excellent historical tour of Palm Cottage! Our guide, Julianna was so knowledgeable of the history. Amazing to see William Haldeman & Henry Watterson’s photo in the library…my husband & I being from Louisville, Ky. A must see here in Lovely Naples, Fl.

Attended a "Chikee Chat" and had a great time. The speakers were very informative as were the staff of the Naples Historical Society.

Great information, home is beautiful and very well taken care of. Docents are knowledgeable and lovely. Photos not allowed.

Did not visit it but rates seems high. Just a house in a street. Of course oldest house in Naples, resisted to different hurricanes and flood.

Nice location! Bathrooms could be maintained a little more but better than most locations! Very short waves made it too hard for skim boarding, but the sand was great and not too crowded.

One of the things in my bucket list is watching Sunset from Naples beach. Today we were able to fulfil It in this park. The sand is White, soft and has shells. The water is green, which is different from what we usually see, But still very clear. The parking is 5 dollars per hour, not too bad but the parking space is limited. We couldn't find parking in the beginning and was about to head out and Luckily We saw an empty spot by the exit.

Lowdermilk Park in Naples is the perfect spot to watch the sunset! The beach is clean, peaceful. Beach was crowded, but still plenty of parking and easy access make it a great choice. We came for the sunset and it did not disappoint—absolutely stunning!

Lowdermilk Park is a lovely beach in Naples, Florida. The sand is incredibly white and the water is crystal clear—perfect for a calm and peaceful day. It has a very family-friendly atmosphere, with facilities like showers and changing rooms, a small restaurant, and beach chair and umbrella rentals. You can also bring your own gear if you prefer. Parking is available at $5 per hour. The only downside at the moment is that there’s some construction going on nearby, so you might hear some noise from the building work. Other than that, it’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beach!

The beach is great the bathrooms are OK. It has showers. I took 1 star because the parking cost is ridiculous 5$ an hour? Also not many spots, always a line to park 'if lucky'. That is crazy!

Nice and relaxing sunset at Lowdermilk beach. Wonderful color. Amazing! Parking a lot with many place available

Beautiful beach. Kept very clean by the city. Clean bathrooms and air conditioned! Showers are plentiful. Parking is close. Concessions have good food options for quick eating.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, the train and Sherman tank were really cool. The day was perfect, and the shade was nice to sit in. Very cozy museum with a very rich history. Great for kids, families and singles. Be sure to have a good joke ready for Bev. She is AWESOME!!

Great museum. Bigger than it seems and it has lots of variety throughout the several buildings to explore. Beautiful landscaping that is a joy to walk around. My family and I enjoy coming here a few times a year. The staff is very welcoming to children and they host a variety of shows and programs for the community.

We drove here from tampa for a free homeschool event and it did not disappoint! My girls came home with so much stuff from the free activities we were able to sample some tasty foods amd we learned alot about old florida. Cannot wait for the next event!

Free museum (donations accepted and personally encouraged) that is more than worth a visit. Great displays (though the darkness of some displays cause glare in photos) with some pretty special artifacts of Florida Naples History. The Trophy Room is amazing. The cats roaming the grounds are pretty chill but don't want you to come too close, so give them space and they'll just hang out.

Nicely laid out vintage buildings equipment, love the train caboose and engine. Loved the mostly watercolour paintings but somewhere also oil I have included one below.

Nice indoor museum and outdoor buildings. Free, but donations accepted.

Outstanding museum of Collier County featuring exhibits from prehistoric to modern times. Great for kids too! Special thanks to Tristan for his direction as there is so much to see.

5/5 – Like a marketplace blessed by the gods of vacation. Tun City Waterfront Shops isn’t just a shopping spot – it’s a coastal bazaar on holiday mode level 99. Nestled between swaying palms and ocean breeze, you stroll through charming little shops that feel more like treasure chests than stores. Great selection, no tourist-trap vibes, and snacks to keep you questing. Even the grumpiest barbarian would trade his axe for flip-flops here.

Tin City in Naples is pure coastal bliss! This charming waterfront spot on the Cocohatchee River buzzes with eclectic shops, galleries, and eateries that capture the essence of Old Florida with a trendy twist. We wandered through the historic tin-roofed buildings, popping into boutiques for unique souvenirs and art that screamed beachy elegance. Grabbed fresh seafood at Riverwalk at Tin City – the grouper sandwich was flaky perfection, and the sunset views over the marina were unbeatable. The vibe is laid-back yet lively, with live music drifting from the decks and boats bobbing gently nearby. It’s family-friendly, romantic, or solo-adventurer ready. We’ve made it a ritual stop on every Naples trip – fresh oysters, craft brews, and that salty air never get old. If you’re in town, don’t miss this hidden gem; it’s the heart of Naples’ quirky soul!

Always a nice place to wander through. Friendly staff in all of the shops. Wide selection of things, from tee shirt's to jewelry. A nice wine shop with samples. Good restaurants on the water. The shops are expanding down the street with more places to eat and drink. Parking can be tough near the shops but there is a lot a short walk away.

Lots of shops and beautiful art from local artists. Ice cream shop, fudge, monkey bread and more. Ate at Pincher's. Great food and drinks.

I walked around with a stroller. There are 3 buildings. You could get in and out of the buildings with no issues since they are wraps. But a lot of the actual shops do not have a ramp to enter and leave so I was limited walking into stores to shop around. It would be nice if they advertise or had something in there to let patrons know.

We found ample parking on a Wed afternoon. Lots of shops, some were extremely overpriced. There were a few restaurants to choose from. We didn't try any. Every shop we visited had friendly staff. Very cool shop had shirts that change color in the sun.

What a lovely little market place, the shops have a beautiful collection of nautical artifacts. People are really pleasant and welcoming. The restaurants also looked great although I didn't get a chance to try them. There has been damage to this place due to the recent hurricane and most of the shops are under renovation but there are few open shops which could be explored. Please like my review if you find it helpful.

Naples Beach is one of those places that feels like a postcard come to life. The sunsets are absolutely stunning — fiery oranges and pinks melting into the Gulf. Whether you’re watching from the iconic Naples Pier or just sitting in the sand, it’s one of the most peaceful ways to end a day. The beach itself is clean, wide, and perfect for long walks. One of the best parts? The incredible variety of seashells scattered along the shoreline. You’ll find everything from tiny colorful spirals to big, perfectly intact conchs. It’s a shell-hunter’s dream. It can get a bit busy during peak season, but there’s usually enough space to find your own quiet spot. Calm water, soft sand, and some of the best sunset views in Florida — can’t really go wrong.

This beach is a true gem 🌴 Soft white sand, calm water, and a peaceful atmosphere, not crowded at all. You can even find free street parking nearby, and restaurants and shops are within walking distance. What a great way to spend the day! ☀️🏖️

First impression: epic. But woe to the barefoot adventurer venturing into the waves – the shell trap at the shoreline is real. The sea was raging today, like a furious water elemental on a bad day. Entering the water felt like a Constitution check against pain – sharp shells and broken crustaceans made every step a challenge without shoes. Scattered all over the sand were mysterious files (possibly the remains of a drowned bureaucracy golem?) and in the center of it all: one massive dead fish, looking like it just failed its final saving throw. And still? Awesome. Wild. Untamed. Just how a beach should be sometimes. If you’re a paladin looking for perfection, maybe come back tomorrow. Today was for bards with tragic ballads in their repertoire.

Absolutely beautiful, soft sand, short walk to the water. Gorgeous place to take in the sunsets.

White sand and perfect clear water love it

Beautiful, clean, relaxed beach.

We had fun swimming here. Parking is nearby. Bring your beach umbrella and chairs or you can just sit under the pier walkway or under the trees.

My experience at the Conservancy of South West Florida was absolutely amazing! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and cool. They made my visit with my young kids an unforgettable experience. The facilities were perfect for moms with young kids, with plenty of interactive exhibits and hands-on activities for the little ones. The story times on Thursdays at 10am were out of this world. The staff did an incredible job of engaging the kids with fun and educational stories about nature and wildlife. It was a great way to spark a love for reading and learning in my children. The boat ride in the Gordon River was a great adventure for all the little explorers. The kids were able to see all kinds of wildlife and learn about the importance of conservation and protecting our natural resources. It was an eye-opening experience for them and a great way to get them excited about nature. Overall, I can't say enough good things about the Conservancy of South West Florida. It's the perfect place for families to learn, explore, and have fun together. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and educational experience for their kids.

This place is a real treasure, beautiful and full of great learning opportunities! It’s perfect for kids, with fun activities and field trips for schools, camps, and community groups. They do an awesome job caring for animals in need, especially through their emergency room. You’ll also find educational talks and community outreach events happening often. Plus, they’ve teamed up with a bunch of local organizations, which really brings the whole area together!

The place was great for a day trip visit. There is enough to do for a few hours. Bathrooms were clean, which is a plus. It's probably a great place to take kids. The staff was very nice and they have a nice little gift shop. There are interactive exhibits that are clean and very new looking.

Visiting the Conservancy of Southwest Florida was such a fantastic experience! The staff was super friendly, easy to talk to, and really knew their stuff. They made our day with the kids extra special, definitely a memory we’ll hold on to. The place is set up perfectly for families, especially moms with little ones in tow. Lots of hands-on exhibits and fun activities kept the kiddos entertained from start to finish!

I love the fact that they care about the wildlife. I don't need to worry. If I see anyone that needs help I know there is a hospital special for them. Lovely. Best resources investmented. Thanks 🙏🙏 a million to everyone that did this to be possible. Thanks Naples City if it was you and to anyone that donate money 💰. May you be blessed million time for caring for the while life!!

I was at The Conservancy Center for the Earth day Celebration with my grand kids. We had an awesome day, all very organized, lots of activity for the care of our Planet. Very instructional. Great job of volunteers and workers in all areas, helpful, nice, patience with kids....We really had fantastic day! Awesome and free eco-tour in the Gordon river. Very well trained guide , the boat captain, very nice and fun . Kids really enjoyed it.

This is a great place to visit with kids! We were so pleasantly surprised with the exhibits. They were professional, informative, interactive and fun for kids and adults. There is even a great touch tank and a virtual encounter with and alligator, bear and panther! Every volunteer we came into contact with was knowledgeable and friendly and helpful. The price of admission (very reasonable) also includes a 45 min electric boat ride which was relaxing and informative. Highly recommend this place!

Nice little gem in the middle of the city. Really enjoyed the short walk in nature. There were cute educational boards along the trail, mainly talking about tortoise. Luckily We did see one at the end of the trail. It was crawling towards us, then went back and hide in a burrow. Super cute. There were also lots of birds and interesting plants. Fun place to visit with limit time.

This is an easy place to visit. You just pull in and can go right to the trail. A great little adventure and learning spot. The boardwalk is well cared for. It's not crowded, and there is a lot of nature to see in one little area. The turtles are the best ♡

This trail is perfect for people that can't do longer trails. It is wheelchair accessible, very clean everyone enjoyed it and they have picnic tables, nice sitting area and plenty of shaded spots. would definitely recommend and the best part is that is completely free. They have a board for everyone to write down how many turtles they seen along the way

The Preserve is located about 8 minutes North of Downtown Naples; about a 2.5 mile drive; next to the Naples Zoo. The boardwalk is an easy 0.4 mile walk through the oak scrubs and pine flatwoods. This is great for kids and it is stroller friendly. You'll spot gopher turtles and different plants/trees. The only downside to this is the actual location next to busy U.S. 41. You can see and hear the cars and thier music. I wish it were more secluded by trees. There is a beautiful Weeping Fig tree at the entrance as well as an Earth Globe and a garden. Parking and entrance are FREE and there is a beautifully kept Eco Center to get more information.

This is one of my favorite places. It’s so easy to get to, and it’s rarely busy. There’s so many turtles just roaming around to see. Bird watchers would enjoy this as well. The staff in the hut are knowledgeable and extremely friendly. There’s info on all the other things to do in Naples so it’s a good stop for families looking for activities.

Great little preserve. Short boardwalk loop in a beautiful setting. Currently lots of turtles, we counted twelve during our brief visit. Nice educational center with pleasant staff. We think we saw an eagle too.

This trail’s a sweet little find, perfect if you’re not up for a long hike. It’s super clean, wheelchair-friendly, and full of shady spots to relax, with picnic tables and cozy sitting areas along the way. Best part? It’s totally free, and there’s even a fun board to jot down how many turtles you spotted!

Cool place to see fancy cars. Shops and restaurants. Parking is hard to find.

3rd Street is the best part of Naples

Nice area to visit high end shops, restaurants, and see cool cars.

Always pretty at night with good restaurants and plenty of fun boutique shops with one-of-a kind items during the day, many also with evening hours.

We only went to this street during the evening so most of the shops were closed but all the bars and restaurants were busy and colourful. Spent an enjoyable hour or so strolling around the area people watching and admiring the interesting architecture and palm tree landscaping. Had a drink in the Naples Pub which was sensibly priced for this upmarket expensive area.

(Translated by Google) A very nice street to visit and discover on vacation, incredible shops and restaurants (Original) Una calle muy linfa para visitar y conocer en vacaciones, increíbles tiendas y restaurantes

(Translated by Google) Expensive and rich. Pathos and glamour. Prices are normal (Original) Дорого богато . Пафос и гламур . Цены норм

I have been here now about ten times. I have visited about fifteen libraries in over seven different states. I can say this is one of the three cleanest libraries I have seen. It has a great book selection. I typically read nonfiction on animals or technology & Christian books. The technology books on Python, SQL, data science and machine learning were all new & relevant from 2021-2024. They also had several newer books in the Christian section. While I am grateful there is so much activity and so many tutors teaching children, it does bring a large amount of noise. If you want to study and don’t have noise canceling headphones, do not come after 3p.m. The library will be full of noise. However, I have also visited in the morning and early afternoon, and found the library to be busy but quiet. I am grateful for this balance. There is a designated quiet room, but it is not always quiet due to it being an open-área floor design with no doors. This problem could be fixed by putting glass doors in the designated “silent area” which still keeps the open concept of this library, as glass is see through, but helps reduce the volume of noise of the tutors. Occasionally there is also a loud story time event which sits inside a room adjacent to the designated quiet area, and due to the design, the noise travels greatly into the quiet room. Be prepared for this and you will be fine. It is also worth noting some of the electrical connections on the tables don’t work. Be prepared to search to find an outlet. This is an easy fix for a library. I’m sure at one point the outlets did work. Overall, it’s a clean, beautiful open-concept floor design with a great, new, relevant reading selection. The noise fluctuates depending on when the tutors arrive and the designated quiet area isn’t really quiet due to the open concept of the floor design. However, I still highly recommend this library when comparing it to most other libraries I have visited and studied at.

Fine library in a beautiful location. People working and volunteering here are great! Good collections of books, DVDs, CDs, and books for sale for ridiculously low prices. Bright and friendly place to spend some time, especially when it's hot or raining outside. They also have some foreign language books, especially Spanish and German.

The staff is friendly and helpful and it's a very comfortable facility located close to downtown. If you have any technical questions, you'd be well-served to seek out Kenneth Hardcastle. He made easy work of a pesky mobile wifi problem I was having. Great reading room here with newspapers and magazines from all over the world for your reading pleasure.

Nice, open library with friendly, helpful staff. Somewhat limited on offerings.

I love my local library. The staff is helpful and easy to talk to. The atmosphere is always calm & collected. A picture-perfect library. Thank you.

Beautiful and well maintained. The old building is a wonderful site to see.

One of our favorite libraries in Collier County. The building is old and it has an awesome vintage feel. The inside is well kept and cozy. I love the children's section of this library. Not only is there a great selection of books, there are also a few interactive activities that the kids can do within that space. The rest of the library has a lot of space for you to sit down at a table and get privacy to study or read. Librarians are very friendly. This Library also hosts a great number of events to get involved with.

Very nice. Easy and free parking. The service at the stores is excellent. I recommend the BR Uno store. They sell exclusive items, handmade, and the service is excellent.

Great experience and food. It's about two blocks long. There are a lot of cousins like Mexican, Chinese, etc. You will find a lot of pastries, desserts, and food. There are plenty of seating areas, so you can buy and eat there or take it home. There is also fresh produce, it is a little small, but you can buy tomatoes, apples, pears, watermelons, melons, pepper, potatoes, etc. I've been to different markets in Naples. This one is the best.

Saturdays on Third Street, Naples Best crab cakes ever at Mister Crab Cakes. All Maryland Lump Crab. Best produce, micro greens, breads, all kinds of delectable foods.

Nice and cheerful! Even though it was small, it was really cute. The cold brewed coffee I had there was really tasty! I liked the variety of goods there, the quality, how people were relaxed. There was live music there. Will definitely come back. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. Please invite more vendors too!

The third St farmers market has a little something for everyone. Come grab your morning coffee. Grab some breakfast food. Fresh fruit, flowers, buskers, mushrooms, vegan, juice, meat, rice, cheese… Very entertaining market!

My first visit to this wonderful Farmer's Market won't be my last as I was impressed with the variety of offerings by the many friendly vendors there. It's a lovely vibe with a wonderful duet providing some nice music to add to the enjoyment. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault as there are many, delicious delicacies to be had. It's a great way to spend a Saturday morning. See you there next time! Mike Brna.

Very nice market. Grab a coffee at Tony's on 3rd, or a beignet, and stroll the market for seafood, paella, fruits and vegetables, and live music. The market seems to be more and more "pet friendly" every time I visit. I know I will sound cranky by saying this but too many owners walk with their pets down the middle of the farmers market with their leash stretched out 10 ft, seemingly unaware of the roadblock they're creating for the people. The market has expanded a bit and includes more esoteric providers such as micro greens, dried morels, and specific botanicals and energy drinks and supplements.

A tranquil place for cycling and walking/running. Well maintained wood and asphalt pathways allow you to focus on the beautiful nature of the park.

In the mornings of the last few days, I took the opportunity to walk through Gordon River Greenway Park, where I was in contact with nature that was anything but wild, as I didn't see any alligators there, except for a few lizards sunbathing. It's the perfect place for those looking to exercise with good infrastructure.

Very nice boardwalk park. You can walk for miles across pedestrian bridges and to a beautiful park a few kilometres away with a nice dog park. Parking is free at this location, easy to get parking during the week

Such a nice area to walk or bike. Bathrooms are available. Dogs are welcome. Stop by the zoo while you are there.

Well marked and we'll kept. Part boardwalk, part concrete. On hot days make sure you take fluids. Is connected to other trails as well. We've taken this hike several times on our visit to Naples.

Nice hidden gem on wilderness and hiking/biking trails. Wide boardwalk or paved section as well as some dirt trails. Being able to hear the monkeys and lions at the zoo really add a neat feel. There is a decent parking lot and bathrooms at the north trail head, as well as many dog poop stations along the way

Had the opportunity to visit the Gordon River Greenway Park in Naples recently. It’s a peaceful little escape within the city, providing a nice blend of green spaces and tranquil river views. The park is well-maintained and offers several trails, perfect for a leisurely walk or jog. The shaded paths make it comfortable even on warmer days. Overall, a good spot to relax and take in some natural beauty. Worth a visit if you’re in Naples.

Sweet Art is a wonderful gallery with a wide variety of great art at reasonable prices. Nothing pretentious here. Dee Dee Sweet has on display wonderful colorful art. They have frequent evening receptions for new displays and is always a fun place to visit. Never any sales pressure.

A great place for contemporary and unique art pieces. We love color and Dee Dee has a great selection of artists to choose from. It is worthwhile to stop in and see what is on display. She always seems to have something new to view!

Visiting for the first time on the occasion of the opening of an artist's display, found lots of folks enjoying themselves with the artist and the gallery owner. Large spacious rooms with lots of artwork displayed on walls along with designer furniture and room decor displays as well.

Wonderful, the most beautiful gallery. The owner, Dede is a pure delight to talk with. Make sure you stop by, you will be impressed.

Went in today to browse. Linda was so helpful. Knowing very little about Art, but love it, she was very educational to the process of obtaining a piece! Thanks

Great place for Art and Clive Daniel Furniture. Everyone was very helpful there and easy going.

Very modern paintings, shared with exceptional furniture. A bit overwhelming

Nice boardwalk (for walking only) through part of a huge watershed. Information signs as you walk. Moderated busy, but you can still enjoy it. A wide variety of birds and of course alligators. Alligators are located by the parking, and we saw lots of them down the dirt trail from the parking lot. Those being very close to the trail. You can bike on the dirt trail and around the surrounding area.

This place is a birder’s paradise. Even the road leading to the parking lot had a diversity of birds coexisting. Surprisingly, the further I was in the trail the less birds I saw. But it’s still a beautiful and peaceful walk. Highlights were seeing painted buntings and hearing a barred owl. Other than birds, I saw one gator and a raccoon. Perfect Florida winter activity. Planning on joining a guided hike in the future!

I had fun until my little girl saw these 2😂 Then our daddy/daughter hike quickly ended. But seriously beautiful trail. Saw other wildlife that was daughter approved-cool waterfowl. About the alligators, you are warned prior but some people may not like their close encounters.

Absolutely phenomenal trail system! Impeccably maintained, clear signage and a number of benches and picnic tables along the way. Tons of wildlife, including some large gators that spend their days on the trails. Also lots of babies, depending when you’re here. The birding is outta this world! The majority of the trail will be dry no matter what time of year it is, however there are a few sections where encountering ankle deep water may occur. Most of those places you can jump over the water hazard lol Bikes are allowed and recommended for tackling the whole loop. I’ve personally never biked it, but there’s always a lot of bikers there when we go. The trail is narrow and bumpy with tree roots and gravel in places, so be advised of that. Plenty of shade for the majority, and an absolutely refreshing breeze once you hit the lake. (Private lake; don’t plan to take a dip lol) The system now connects to the purple trail of Flint Strand, making for an intense day if you tackle them both! The parking lot is gravel and probably 24 spots available, if everyone parks like adults lol Street parking also available. All parking is free and first come. They don’t have hours posted but I can almost guarantee it’s dawn to dusk. 2 well maintained portapotties are in the parking lot, and nothing once you’re out on the trail. No trash cans either; strict trash in trash out policy. Bring water, bring snackies, bring your camera, and potentially a change of shoes for the drive home 🙂 Highly recommend checking out this trail system! Oh and there’s also a bunch of geocaches if you’re into that! We are!

Trail is nice to walk, run, or cycle. Not a lot of people. Didnt get to see many birds or other animals.

What a wonderful experience this nature preserve is to visit. The wildlife and trees and fauna are very calming. The birds were numerous, and even saw hawk babies high in a tree. I strongly recommend this preserve.

I only went out 1.5 miles and back on the trail. But it was an excellent flat walk. There was even one couple pushing a stroller. Birds an other wildlife all along the way. I will definitely go again the next time I'm in Naples.

The slides are awesome and they let you jump off the high dive! Lifeguards are attentive, amiable, and safe without being overly cautious and shutting down children having safe fun. A great time for a ridiculously low price in my book.

Beautiful park. Great trail for walks. Gas station across the street for water needs.

Great classes and clean small gym. Great for those not wanting to exercise next to bodybuilders. $25 a month for unlimited use of the gym and classes. Best value in Naples

Nice place to sit and spend time

Good place to get our free beach sticker and boat trailer stickers.

Can't say enough about this wonderful place

Nice park and community center

Small and beautiful park located near Vanderbilt beach. Features a semi outdated playground, a wide array of tennis courts and a view of a lake. Doesn’t get very busy even during the weekend so perfect place if you want a calm vibe. Definitely recommend this park to anyone who loves parks and loves lakes!

Great place to walk your pups a couple times around the trail that goes along the pond, behind some houses, and along the field. There's ample parking, basketball courts, tennis courts, field for soccer/football/etc, and restrooms.

Lovely, beautiful park with a pond, benches, and ducks. It is very peaceful. The playground is nice and shaded by large trees with a pavilion with picnic tables. There are fantastic tennis courts as well with bathrooms close to the tennis courts. There are also basketball courts. Everything is kept up beautifully.

Great fields and facilities. Nice walking path too

Cute little community park tucked out of the way. Lots of tennis courts that see tons of action, baseball field, racquetball courts, basketball, sand volleyball, playground and a lake with walking path. Very enjoyable place for a visit

Lovely park. Great place to have a picnic or just take in the scenery. Big playground for the kids too. The sound of pickleball is a little annoying though.

Lots of trees and game courts. Perfect place to take the family for a long afternoon.

Great fields for soccer and baseball or softball. They also have a water park which was closed when we were there-might have been the hours though or that we were there for a soccer tournament. The bathrooms were a bit dirty and some stalls didn’t close because the door locks were broken. But they had TP and soap (although soap was low and some dispensers were out). Very wheelchair accessible, the only problem I saw was that the access from the fields to the sidewalks had a clay connection and when it rains it gets really goopy and gross, footwear and wheelchair operators would get very dirty after a rain. However, the fields themselves were nice, parking was free, many people had to park along the street so it wasn’t laid out well for a major tournament but for a smaller one it was ok.

We live 20 minutes away from this park, and we come with frequency. There is a nature walk that includes a boardwalk portion and a paved portion. The boardwalk portion goes through a Cypress swamp, which then transitions into a slash pine Forest. This path is popular for family walks, joggers, and roller skating. The community center has a large gym with indoor basketball court and other amenities. You can find bathrooms in there. There are also large soccer fields on the North end of the park. The playground within the park is called "Can U Dig It". It includes a shaded portion where kids can dig for archeological artifacts, or simply bring digging toys. It's a great retreat from the summer heat or on light raining days. The playground also includes large rocks for climbing, and two shaded play areas for kids of different ages. There are multiple picnic pavilions for anyone to use, unless they are reserved for parties.

Awesome place to bring kids. My son loves the 'Dig-it' area, has Canadian Coral Rock to dig in with manmade artifacts to find buried. The Sun and Fun Lagoon is part of the complex (a admission fee is required). We will continue to return here.

Excellent play ground for little ones! Shaded by canopies; and great fun for the kiddos! Love the covered picnic tables as well

Best soccer fields lakes walking path and sun splash and a children's museum all in one area Great place

We really love this park. It's much more expansive than I think many people realize. It's got an indoor exhibit hall, where you can also take care of getting your county parking stickers or renting pavilions at parks for parties. It has a fitness complex, fields for soccer and softball, a nature/walking path, a water park (called Sun-N-Fun, with an awesome lazy river), and a terrific children's play area. Parent's can relax because the area is enclosed, but open enough for the kids to have lots of fun. There are all sorts of jungle gym things to do, plus the "Can You Dig It" fossil dig. They've got some percussive instruments to play with that even adults find irresistible. There are a number of pavilions there, and if those are all taken the dig it area is also covered. The gym areas have protection from the sun as well. The only parts of the kids area that does not have protection is the swings, which we parents don't understand, but it's still a great park. They have all sorts of activities, classes and camps all year round. A simple search should get you to the county web site where you can find the latest listings of things to do. Oh, and let's not forget that the C'mon Children's Museum is in this same huge area of fun. It's fantastic for the younger kids!

Parking and restrooms are very close to fields. Soccer fields are nice. Lots of bleacher seating as well as tables. Bathroom door had a sign to flush toilet and wipe off after use. What???? Yes to flushing but not wiping off toilet. Stalls were out of toilet paper and there wasn't any soap or hand sanitizer.

This park is absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit. I had been curious about it since the water in my yard connects to the lake, and I wanted to see where I’d end up if I went kayaking. There’s plenty of parking, along with a playground and nice beach areas. It’s a great spot to relax and explore!

Beautiful park with an amazing sunset view! Great place to walk, relax by the lake, or just sit and enjoy the peaceful vibe. Always clean and well-kept — one of my favorite spots in Naples!

Absolutely beautiful scenery. The beach is very nice and filled with snail shells. My dog loved walking along the shores of the lake. This is a fantastic place to go for a run and do a lap around the water. We came here many times, it’s free!

This is a great park to enjoy walking around the large lake. The trail is nice to walk with partial sun and shade, excellent parking, playground, restroom,docks, birds and overall scenery around the lake. My husband enjoys fishing in the lake and the canal behind the lake.

Neat park focused on watersports. Sailing, kayaking, and adaptive water-skiing area . Nice beach area and swimming at own risk. Pavilions and piers around the lake as well as walking trail. 1 large playground and 1 smaller one. Central located restrooms. Butterfly garden.

Great place to have a family day. You can go swimming, have a bbq, take a walk along the trail, ride on boats, play sports, they have also put in this beautiful butterfly area and it's so relaxing to sit there and read a book and watch the butterflies fly around you. There are bears in the area now. So be careful with little children.

Where do I even start... This is definitely the BEST park I’ve been in my entire life... and believe me when I say this because I’ve been to so many different parks but this one... This park is truly PERFECT! Starting with the 62 acres in TOTAL this park covers.. It really is the perfect park to go for a jog, a walk, spend some time outside and admire nature... In one side, it has like an “artificial beach” where you can go and swim in the lake but the feeling is just exactly like being on a beach because of the palm tress and sand that’s around... And for jogging, it really is the perfect place for it. If I lived near here, I would definitely come here 4 days a week AT LEAST! It’s totally WORTH visiting this amazing park!

Great experience❣️We loved the beauty of this scenic park. Conveniences, like bathrooms, picnic areas, water fountains, and seating areas are abundant, even dedicated seating for wheelchair access. Children of all ages will love the playground and splash pad. There are also separate dog sections broken down by the size of your dog- super smart planning. Our Chihuahua enjoyed walking and playing with other dogs along the paths, and in the dog park.

What an amazing park. It is always a stop when we are in town. The walking and biking paths are impressive! The splash pad and playground is perfect for families with children. This park has clean restrooms available.

We visited Baker Park for a wedding in this beautiful hall within the park and were delighted with the venue. The greenery is lovely, and there are ample spaces for socializing and family activities. The event hall is luxurious, simple, and spacious. It's a great option for photos, videos, and special celebrations.

Huge park, great for walks and run friendly, bike and pet friendly! It pretty much has it all. Benches and swings and slide for the kids.

Great playground surrounded by lush green trees. There’s a run/walk loop nearby. Bring a towel and extra clothes for the kiddos!

Beautiful park! Excellent for walks after work, or anytime. With its many clean, meticulously maintained pathways, bridges and even work out equipment this park is a pleasure to visit time and time again. Located next to the Gordon river, it is a picturesque, peaceful and very walkable place. Not rare to see manatees swimming in the river. Highly recommend!

Awesome park, nice shady spots for the parents to sit and keep an eye on the kiddos. And sun shade above the play area to help protect on those extra hot days. I asked for her review at the end of the visit, my LO said “that was an awesome water park” (splash pad). And nice clean washrooms!
