    The staff at the Florida Oceanographic Center were super friendly, helpful and knowledgable. We visited the cnter with our family on a Sunday from 1:30-4PM. It took us about 2.5 hours to tour the museum and go to the three different presentations that ran during that time (stingray touch tank, marine life feeding and the sea turtle class). Learned a great deal about enviornmental issues and solutions. Make sure you go to the third floor of the museum as the views are amazing.

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

    Hikes are amazing. Love it! The nature trails are so pretty. Walk along the river and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Don’t forget to look up and see birds and air plants. Enjoy.
