Spent a nice afternoon here. They gave an informative presentation on Florida's reptile population, including the damage being done by the Burmese python in the Everglades. It appeared to me that virtually everyone we encountered was a volunteer and they were all friendly and knowledgeable. We took the boat tour which I highly recommend. The boats are comfortable and the birds along the way were plentiful. Our guide, once again a volunteer, was well-versed on the history of development in the area and how it has effected the ecological landscape of modern Florida, not a pretty picture. I also have to say that the grounds were spotless and the restroom I used was without a doubt the cleanest I have ever encountered in a venue like this.
