Pristine paths and foliage. A great way to spend a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of the busy keys. Very relaxing and you can even stop by the pond for a quick fish pedicure! :)

Awesome trails and education! Highly recommend the guided tour. Tim was great! The fish pedicure was a lot of fun. Tons of history here, and beautiful scenery. Don’t skip the museum portion. Customer service was informative and friendly. Loved the golf cart ride, we learned a lot!

This place was awesome! We weren’t sure if we were going to go or not and we are glad we did. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re visiting the keys. Great place to go for a walk through the trees (provide some decent shade from the sun) and the fish pedicure is cool too!
