We took our time wandering the pathways, admiring the beautiful habitats thoughtfully designed for each species. There's a strong focus on birds, and the variety here is impressive -- vibrant parrots, graceful flamingos, and so many unique feathered residents. Just as we made it to the final exhibit with the crocodiles, an announcement came over the speakers warning of lightning in the area. Guests were directed back to the gift shop for safety, and the staff began offering rain checks or refunds depending on when you arrived. We didn't inquire about either, though -- we had already thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and since the Wonder Gardens is a nonprofit organization, we were happy to support them regardless. Before leaving, we browsed the gift shop, which had a fantastic selection of animal-themed souvenirs, cute décor, and even artwork created by the resident animals -- such a unique touch. If you're in the area, Wonder Gardens is absolutely worth a stop. It's charming, educational, and your admission supports ongoing rescue and rehabilitation efforts. If you're interested in getting even closer to the animals, they also offer scheduled animal encounters, so be sure to check ahead for times.

My only gripe was- they were cleaning the turtles and it would have been a really cool learning experience for the kids if they advertised those things/invited kids and families to come watch. They could have really turned it into a really cool educational moment by answering questions or talking about what they were doing while they were doing it. Even having a few seats people could sit in while they did it... this could apply to any of their daily things they do there to help the animals. Keep up the good work and help inspire the next generation!

Yes, they have a rideable train that goes on a one mile loop that circles out and back! The train tickets are purchased at the museum office and for us, only $5 each. The nice lady who sold the tickets let us know that the train would be departing in about 20 minutes at that gave us plenty of time to explore the museum, perusing the exhibits and watching the miniature train sets circle the table. Other than my Mom, I think I was probably the oldest person on the train and we both had a complete blast. The ride takes 15 minutes and sweeps through a number of similarly miniature villages and over clang-clang-clang railroad crossings and even through a 100 foot long tunnel. It's extremely cute and for $5, how can you possibly not enjoy yourself! Afterwards, there are outdoor exhibits that include a cosmetically restored 1905 locomotive and tender, and a completely restored caboose. Tip: Check ahead for their hours of operation. They are only open on weekends (and Labor Day!). Rides on the train are first come first serve. You'll have a better ride closer to the front if you can.

A railroad enthusiast must-see in Fort Myers, Florida This…read moreSpecial attraction is located inside the Lakes Regional Park which is located off Gladiolus Drive and Old Gladiolus Drive. The park has several places to see and visit. There is a large parking lot so parking should not be a problem. The Railroad Museum and railroad are to the right as you enter. The museum is hard to miss as there is a large railroad engine visible from the parking lot that is across the walkway from a large building that houses the museum. The museum is inside a building behind the jungle gym next to the parking lot. The museum is free. It is a large room with several operating scale trains running around the center and near the roof. There is at least one hands-on display that you can see the operating console for an engineman. There are lots of informational displays situated around the room describing the history of trains and the railroad museum. There is a lot to read and a lot of history associated with trains, Florida, and the Fort Myers area. If you have a chance, I highly recommend spending a few dollars and getting a ticket to ride the train right outside the museum. For any train enthusiast this is a must-see in the area.

We were visiting family in Florida and decided to try Great Wolf Lodge for the first time. Overall,…read morewe had a good time and would definitely consider coming back if we're in the Florida area again! We booked two rooms, but unfortunately they weren't adjacent rooms, which was a little disappointing since we were traveling together as a family. Other than that, the resort itself is really nice and there are tons of activities for the kids, so there was always something to do. The water park isn't huge, but it's nice and there's plenty of seating. The outdoor area was probably one of my favorite parts, especially the jacuzzi. Coming from New York, we found it really strange seeing kids--even babies--in the jacuzzi because that's definitely not what we're used to back home! New York is VERY strict about those rules. One thing I will say is that the water park felt really far from the elevators, so be prepared for some walking, especially if you have little ones with you. As far as food goes, there aren't a ton of options. The restaurant was nice, and they also have a buffet, but we found it to be pretty expensive. There's also a food hall, but honestly, we weren't impressed with the food there. They do have a Dunkin', which was VERY popular, especially in the mornings. It was convenient and definitely one of the more affordable options. Another thing to know: with more than four people in our room, we only had one roll of toilet paper, so we had to call down for more. Not a huge deal, but definitely something housekeeping should keep in mind for larger families. One thing we REALLY appreciated was being able to bring in a soft cooler with drinks. That saved us quite a bit of money during our stay! Overall, everyone we encountered was pretty nice, the resort was clean and there were plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained. Since it was our first time, now we know what to expect for next time. I would come back--I'd just bring more of our own food and snacks because the food options weren't really our favorite. First time at Great Wolf Lodge Now we know for next time!

Ok so I read a few of the reviews regarding this place and had my concerns. The person who said it…read moresmelled of chemicals, I just have to state duh. I'd rather it smell like chemicals in an indoor water park than nothing and have mold everywhere. We came here for a 3 day 2 night vacation. When we first got here I was a little nervous this was going to be another like crappy hotel with attractions. The indoor was kept very clean. Again, I don't know if people came on off times but every time we walked in the main area it was kept clean and I watched the workers mop and vacuum constantly. The room was kept nice. However, the bed was ok and the pillows were too soft for me. I will say sleeping wasn't the best for me. They did have bunk beds for the kids which was nice. Nothing was luxurious in our room. Restaurants kinda lost a star for this place. Breakfast is definitely not worth 27 dollars. Thank god we bought the 20 dollar pre show tickets. It seemed like the food was fresh but wasn't the best foods. Juice was out of a machine. I'd say it was more like a 4. Dinner, we did at the fireside. Again, very expensive. The nachos were a miss we got last night. Just wasn't worth 20 dollars. They used chicken from their chicken meals. Fresh cut jalapeño corn etc. cheese was ehhh. The chicken wings were good. 20 dollars for 10. Again not great but good. The smokehouse burger was good. Not the best. Little much with the pork at the bottom. The chicken meal was good. That was tasty. But 27 dollars worth ? Ehhh. My wife got a Cobb salad that she said she liked. And I got a cheese burger last night which was good. Not great but good. The ice cream store was good. Worker didn't seem the happiest to be there. The waterslides were cool. I went on the single rider fast one. That thing cut my back up. My daughter used the kiddie slides for the entire time. The area was kept clean. I didn't like the lockers were paid to use. I figured you pay enough for the hotel they kinda should just give you a locker. Now to the other attractions. The arcade is small. There are chances to win tickets. The employee worked the arcade was Ray. Ray was a super star! I won't say what Ray did but it was very sweet for my daughter. Ray has people skills. Alex, who is the manager of attractions was also very nice. He also helped out and hooked it up. Alex was concerned for my families fun well being and he made sure we were taken care of. Susan, who is usually over bowling was over the slides. Susan hooked it up tremendously. She was nice, funny, and very outgoing. Susan shows why she cares about you. She gave us her last pass and didn't even bat an eye. This is why this place got a 5 and not a 4 star review. The employees ensured you were taken care of.

The park has been open since 10:30 and they still don't have anything else open and it's 12:15. The water is super cold. If we hadn't gotten a discount with our rental company I'd be really upset. They should at least warn people they are having staffing issues and rides might not be open. I guess I should've known that they were having issues when I tried to call about cabana rentals and no one returned the call or the email. Guess it was lucky the website wasn't working because if we had paid for a cabana would've been so upset.
