Come and visit this 105-acre natural oasis in town on the Lee Island Coast. Take a stroll on their boardwalks through pine flat woods and cypress wetlands. Visit their Audubon aviary, home to permanently injured hawks, owls and eagles. Have a close and personal encounter with their rattlesnakes, non-venomous reptiles and live insect collection in their museum. Soar with the region's only planetarium. Come see why they say, "Our eyes are on the heavens, and our feats are on the ground."
