Manatee Observation and Education Center

My brother and I had a wonderful visit to the Manatees Museum - even though it was closed there was super knowledgeable guide outside. Tiger was very courteous, professional and provided us both with plenty of history of the Manatees. Tiger is a true asset and a wonderful representative of the Manatees Museum in Ft Pierce, FL. We are both returning to the Manatees Museum.

If you're looking for a good place to spot manatees ( & learn about them) this is a must-stop! Check the flag as you drive by- if the manatee flag is up- the manatees are out! :) I see manatees there 8/10 times I've stopped.

Love this place! Manatees are not guaranteed of course but we have seen them the majority of the times we have visited. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Currently shut down due to staffing issues with covid. The few volunteers that were outside were friendly and helpful but would have liked to seen the full experience inside.nnIf nothing else at least change your operating hours to reflect that you are not currently open.

This is a nice area for taking a slow stroll. We walked around the observation center but did not go inside. There are quite a few signs that give very good information about the manatees and their preferred habitat. A worthwhile trip indeed.
