Manatee Viewing Center | Macaroni KID Apollo Beach - Ruskin

Description

The Manatee Viewing Center opened their season on November 1st and will be open through April 15th 2018!

When the waterways are 68 degrees Fahrenheit or below, the 1000 plus pound manatees make their way to their warmer winter home near the TECO Power Plant. Manatees aren't the only sea-life you will see, there are many different species of fish, sharks, and birds that are also making their way to the viewing center.

There is so much to do at the Manatee Viewing Center ... a nature trail, a 50-foot observation tower with spectacular views, a tidal walk way,  a butterfly garden,  an education building many games and displays, a delicious snack bar,  a terrific gift shop, and more!

Parking and admission are free!

The Manatee Viewing Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (the wildlife observation tower and habitat trails close at 4 p.m. daily). They are closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve (at 3 p.m.), Christmas Day, and Easter.
