He loved exploring…read moreand it's hard to get him to sit still so this was the perfect landscape where I could grab a beer and he could play on the playground (fenced in) or go look at some animals (cows, goats, chickens, ducks) there were also plenty of little games like connect four and checkers to keep up Occupied when we wanted a break from the sun under the canopy. The market inside sells lots of fun spices, sauces, pickles, fish, drinks, toys, t shirts , candy, and fresh produce - truly a little of everything. They also had some delicious coffee at their little coffee stand and when we were leaving I saw the bbq fire up and some people had hotdogs or sausages I'll definitely have to check out the food next time. And yes we will be back!!

Plan for at least an hour here which will give you plenty of time to explore the train museum and…read morethen take a ride on the train. 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.

The service was friendly and the gentleman was nice showed us a few things and explained how the arcade worked! Has probably enough room to host a 8-15 people group party probably but you should always call ahead to see if they can host your party! Highly recommend as a little date night with your partner!

Alright, so I'm making my comments based on the fact I got into IMAG for free because of my…read morereciprocal membership from my home science museum (shout out to the ASTC passport program!). I would not have paid over $70 for my family of five for this spot. However, there were some very positive highlights. The stingray tank is really nicely done, as are many animals and fish on display in well done and notably clean tanks. The fossil exhibits were small but got my kids talking. The exhibit on momentum was fun for my son. I really liked the weather exhibit, but my kids bored of it very quickly. I did not allow my kids to play in the water table, it looked very gross and the red flag notice made me very nervous. I've been to many children's museums with similar water tables, I have never seen a water table with such explicit warnings that the water quality wasn't up to snuff. All in all, worth spending an hour of my time, absolutely since it was free.

The concept of the science center was pretty cool However it was definitely a bit dated and dull…read more If they want to continue to do good work and educate kids through these science based experiences then they're going to have to make some changes.

Peace (the owner) teaches the children so much it's hard to put it into words the impression she has on these kids.

There's no one-size-fits-all learning model for every child at every developmental age or stage, which is why we offer individual children and families unparalleled branches of collaborative services designed to nurture and support the whole child and help them develop the critical emotional, social, cognitive, physical, and community skills central to a strong self-esteem. Through dance, music, yoga, art, reading, nature walks, treasure hunts, seasonal events, and more, we help individual children and family systems grow together and foster in them a lifelong love of learning. We love each child we work with, and we're honored to encourage them to reach their fullest potential each and every day.
