The Shell Factory & Nature Park

If you're looking for a day of 'Old Florida' fun, you'll find it at the Shell Factory and Nature Center. The Nature Center is full of exotic and native animals from camels and zebras to alligators and hissing cockroaches. Kids will enjoy the petting zoo and butterfly garden too. The Fun Park features a host of water activities such as bumper and paddle boats. There is even a zip line across the lake. You can test your skills on the miniature golf course or on the many arcade games. There's no need to leave the property when you've worked up a good appetite, thanks to the popular Captain Fishbones restaurant, serving local cuisine. The Shell Factory is also one of the best places to shop for authentic Florida souvenirs.
