    So windy today, but still had a great time. . Birds were staying close to shore a lot because of the wind, so you could see them up and personable. Lots of people catching sheep heads. . . DNR officers checking that you were keeping legal sized fish. You can sun bath, walk the piers, each lunch at the North end section. Lots of beach area to find shells or just enjoy the walk. Lots of people fishing, there are picnic tables and lots of parking spaces. There is an RV campground at the South entrance and it looked full. We enjoyed watching the pelicans fishing, and saw some porpoises/dolphins. We will go back again. Cost was $8,00 for 4 people in a car and less for walkins and bikes.

    Fun beach to take the kids or sit and relax, does have coquina rock but it's not bad. BEWARE: the city recently instituted pay-to-park and are WILD with BOOTING drivers. Don't leave your car for a second, they are very very quick to boot. Make sure you have proof you paid, they are booting those with permits also.

    Awesome scenery well worth taking the time to visit and walk around for a couple of hours. Too bad they no longer allow cars to drive around the park because it's too far for seniors to walk the whole area. But there is plenty of wildlife and beautiful wetlands to admire. Highly recommend for people who loves natural Florida.

    Have seen many shows here, from rock and roll to Broadway plays. Always a wonderful night. Seating is great no matter where you are and the acoustics are wonderful

    Learn a bit about sea turtles here. See shells to gain knowledge of size. Learn about the nests they lay.

    Cute little old town area. Lots of shops and places to eat. Shops close early . Meg o Mallys is my favorite restaurent. Many weekends have music and additional vendors along the street. Be sure to check the calendar.

    Very informative. Great place to learn some of Melbourne's early history.

    Ran by volunteers who are dedicated and knowledgeable and very pleasant to be around.

    Remember, it gets hot in Florida and old homes had no air conditioning so unless there is a bit of a breeze you will sweat and might find being indoors a bit unbearable. You can still enjoy the grounds and the house, but if being too hot is unhealthy for you personally, make sure you are hydrated and know your limits.

    MCT is a charmingly intimate community theater where the performances range from barely adequate to thoroughly delightful. In some cases the nonmusical plays are the most satisfying (among seven shows we've seen in recent years, we particularly enjoyed "Barefoot in the Park" and "Murder on the Orient Express"). Predictably, the musicals here are marred by prerecorded synthesizer accompaniment, and the singers generally sound like the hardworking amateurs they are, with only an occasional standout. On the positive side, the house is small enough that actors' voices can be heard comfortably, and our ears are never assaulted by the use of microphones. And sometimes the performances are remarkably good.

    Overall, this is theater as it was meant to be, with a direct and immediate line of communication between actors and audience. It deserves to be supported, especially when the experience is so often satisfying. Factor in the modest ticket prices and the free parking garage right across the street, and MCT is more likely to offer a rewarding evening than any larger performing arts center in this part of Florida.

    We had a group of 5 of us, my husband and I and my 3 twenties kids. We enjoyed the go karts and the mini golf. Had a Groupon which made it more reasonable, considering much of the place wasn’t functioning 100%. I was disappointed that the batting cage was closed. Mini golf was fun and challenging. The boats were not 100% up and running. The go karts were the best. We had a bonus game card for $10 each which was a throwback! Definitely worth it with the discount. Mini golf alone can be expensive. Could be much better if everything was open. We enjoyed the evening!

    We had a great time going from exhibit to exhibit .it took us about 2 hrs 30 mins to complete. When the weather is warm out you have a better chance of seeing all the animals.
