Riverwalk Nature Center

We have passed this place probably, hundreds of times going down US1 and never saw it!! What a hidden gem this is. And this time, we didn't actually set out to find it either. Our plan was to go to a museum, and when we got there it was closed....LAME!! So we scrambled for something fun to do, got on our phones and googled away. This place popped up!! The boardwalk was really neat, a long wooden path through the nature to get down to the river. We saw all sorts of birds, insects, lots of spiderwebs. The river had a little beachy area that was cool for the kids to walk on. And when we were all done with that and in bad need of some AC, we went inside to the nature center. There are a a lot of hands on things to do there for the kids. The coolest thing was a touch tank with snails and horseshoe crabs.



Even the wondows are cool :)



Here's a horseshoe crab washed up on the beach




We went the two nights later to watch the turtle nesting, pretty cool to see it from this perspective though!


Future Scientists!
