Conservancy of Southwest Florida, Naples

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!

We popped in to check out the Conservancy when we found the zoo overcrowded on a resident weekend. What a gem! Excellent, interactive, and very well-kept exhibits… kids and adults all learned lots! We started with the boat tour, and then enjoyed a leisurely time touring the exhibits, learning about alligators, pythons, eagles, native (and non-native and invasive) plants, and the kids even got to explore the touch pool, which they enjoyed thoroughly! Most of the exhibits were inside in the AC, which was an unexpected but welcome perk of a July visit! We enjoyed it so much that we picked up a membership, and look forward to our next adventure to the Conservancy.
