There are also many varied educational exhibits with the wildlife. You and your family will enjoy exclusive use of the entire park from 5:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. The event includes a guided boardwalk tour of the bird rookery where thousands of nesting, wading birds, herons, egrets, endangered wood storks and roseate spoonbills can be viewed and with their young.

Here's a baby bobcat (on the right) that was brought in to us by FGAF agents because it's mother had been killed.
He's doing great and has been ontroduced to our permacare bobcats so he can be released.
