    A nice spot to make a pitstop to stretch your legs, go to restroom, get some information and a…read morephoto opp.

    In all my years that I've passed this place I've never stopped - probably because I was in a hurry…read moreto get home and knowing that I still had another 3.5 hours of driving. Well, this time I stopped and was glad I did. First, the bathroom facilities (in a separate building from the welcoming center) were clean, spacious, and air conditioned. Then, when I went into the welcome center I was greeted by a gentleman who was serving free cups of orange juice or grapefruit juice (your choice). I chose orange juice. It was ice cold and sweet - one of the best orange juices I've ever had! The welcoming center was also clean and spacious and has a ton of brochures on the various activities and tourist attractions here in Florida. So, if you're visiting for the first time, this will be a good stop for you. Outside, there's plenty of parking spots including a separate area for semi's and those pulling travel trailers. There's plenty of shade trees and picnic tables so if you want to buy something from their food or drink machines you can enjoy them outside while taking a few minutes break out of the busy race track known as I-75 ha! (Not kidding). It was a great stop and I recommend you stop and check this place out. At the very least, you'll love the free orange juice. Welcome to Florida :)

    St. Marks, Florida. Late March, 2025. We were on a road trip, visiting the southeastern corner of…read morethe US. We saw the sign for the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, and just had to stop. For those unaware, the National Refuge System (System) is an extensive network of lands and waters protected and managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, especially for wildlife and its habitat. There are over 560 refuges, stretching from above the Arctic Circle in Alaska to the subtropical waters of the Florida Keys. The St. Marks Refuge was established in 1931 to provide winter habitat for migratory birds, and is one of the oldest refuges in the System. It encompasses about 86 thousand acres, and includes about 43 miles of north Florida's Gulf coast. About 350 thousand visitors come to St. Marks NWS each year to birdwatch, photograph, hike, fish, picnic, hunt, bike, and relax. We only touched the surface of what was available to do at the refuge. *We stopped at the Visitor Center, where you can pick up maps and view displays about Refuge wildlife and habitats. *We drove Lighthouse Road, which is a slow-moving 7-mile road which connects the Visitor Center to the historic St. Marks Lighthouse at the end of the road. (See my separate listing on Yelp). The road is shared by people in cars and on bike who are hopeful to spot migratory birds, monarch butterflies, and even alligators. *We parked at the Lighthouse (which was closed to visitors), walking around the short paths there, and taking photographs of the lighthouse and surrounding waters. Note that this is a fee-area, and entrance fees are required of all Refuge visitors traveling behind the Visitor Center on Lighthouse Road. Passes are accepted. You can also support your national refuge by supporting the Nature Store, where you can buy field guides, postcards, t-shirts, sunscreen, insect repellant, and more.

    While attending the annual butterfly fest this year we had to wait for an hour or more then we're…read moretold it was another 7 miles to the actually lighthouse and where they were releasing the butterfly's. The lighthouse was beautiful and wildlife was wonderful. A big thing with this even was it stated very directly in the instructions no Dogs allowed. There were many dogs there some of which were not properly being attended to. One lady brought 5 or 6 small puppies then when a Ranger explained she needed to get them away from the water because the alligators would come out of the water and take them out of her arms she argued with her that she had already taken them but she would not move away from the waters edge.

    Since it's been almost a year since the last review here, I think it's time for some updating…read more There are currently no reviews lower than three stars, so I decided to make sure to visit this location on my trip to Tallahassee. I knew I would be arriving around 4:00 and understood that they closed at 5:00 p.m., but I really just wanted to enjoy the gardens and grounds. There was an accident on the freeway and it was 4 :40 p.m. when I arrived. All the intrigates were already shut and locked. I was annoyed as they are supposed to be open until 5:00, but I understand that some people are excited to go home and want to close up and leave early. Undeterred, I got a hotel for the night and made sure to come back first thing in the morning. I could not be more confused by the reviews. It looked to me like no one had been taking care of the grounds at all. The grass was brown, and a thick layer of leaves was covering everything. When I went to park in one of the few spaces I saw, a woman in a sedan opened her car door and let her three small dogs run out off leash. I watched them dedicate while she sat in her car on the phone and I knew it was time to go. I can see now why the employees are keen to leave early.

It is such a great place for events because it also has a lot of outdoor space that is gorgeous. I love this place and highly recommend it!
