Interactive educational exhibits, solar trees and opportunities for selfies are featured at a waterfront attraction in Riviera Beach. Entry to Manatee Lagoon is free. Parking is also free.
Manatees occasionally hang out in the warm water discharge from the FPL power facility, especially in winter, and the venue includes a deck for watching them, and webcams for watching them online.
It’s an ideal idea for a free excursion with the family.
The venue is usually open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. mid-November – March, and April – November 14, it’s open Tuesdays – Sundays.
