Visit the exciting new Nature’s Wonders sanctuary where guests are immediately transported to another world. The sanctuary is complete with eleven aquariums, including a touch tank where guests can hold live sea stars. The remaining tanks bring to life the reef and offshore ecosystems, hosting live denizens of the deep including jellyfish, baby alligators and an eel. Inquisitive minds will also discover a small lab filled with microscopes, slides and Petri dishes – all the tools to help a budding marine biologist explore a world not seen by the naked eye. The Nature Vision Theater, where National Geographic specials, Discovery programs and Disney movies are shown, serves as a retreat where the entire family can take a break.

These daily programs include: nature walks, boat rides, guest speakers and field trips. Samples of rotating topics include: observing wildlife, the mangroves, sea turtle nesting, alligators, dolphins and beach combing.
