Lots of gators, turtles, fish, and beautiful flowering bushes. Cannot recommend this enough as a day trip of about an hour from TV. We went to the beach for awhile but it was so windy we didn't stay long.
Was this a zoo? Wolves, and Hippo's? While in that area anyone, be sure to eat at Crackers. Great seafood, on the water.
