The new water play area is a fantastic addition. It was a huge hit with the kids, but honestly, the adults enjoyed it just as much! We could have easily spent hours there alone. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to share information about the exhibits and local wildlife, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The nature trail is another favorite and offers a great opportunity to experience the area's natural beauty. One tip for future visitors: bring bug spray, as there can be quite a few mosquitoes along the trail. This is a wonderful family-friendly attraction that's both fun and educational. We look forward to returning every time we visit the area.

I remember the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center fondly from my childhood, and it's good to see…read morethat they've expanded on their property for a nice little afternoon outing. Admission is $20 for adults, with child and military discounting. There's a lot of outdoor walking space around the main lake/lagoon where you can see the nurse sharks and sea turtles amongst the many other fish there. The weather was really nice the day we went, so we took a stroll through the nature trails. They are mostly boardwalk trails with a few covered stops with benches. The main trail is a 1 mile loop but there is also a 1/3 mile loop that is good for kids. The main trail will take you to the Indian River Lagoon for some nice storefront views! The main building has some cool artwork made of reclaimed beach litter that makes you really think about proper waste disposal. There's also a few tanks with cool fish and such to see. The entire center has a few different spaces for bathrooms that are easy to access. I'd recommend coming here for a nice day in the fresh air and sunshine to enjoy the flora and fauna of Florida!

This night is called Bouyon night. It's a Haitian establishment that serves Haitian food. Bouyon(…read morebouillon) is a hearty soup that Haitians enjoy. However, they do have other Haitian food as well. It's every 3rd Friday. The place is pretty big and decorated simply and nicely. The large bathroom was clean. There's even a VIP section in which someone was celebrating a bday. The Bouyon was good. Not too salty. But, I have tasted better. The service was good and the servers polite. There was a good crowd. However, the DJ wasn't good. He would stop between songs instead of mixing them one into the other. Or after a really good song he'd play something slow. Many times the crowd expressed their displeasure. Would I go back? Absolutely! I've heard different DJs go there and it's awesome. Next time I'm in town I will try to go back.

**1 Star**…read more Unfortunately, our experience with Diamond Event Venue for my sister's quinceañera was very disappointing. From the beginning, we repeatedly asked about the decorations and what would be included with the package we paid for. We were consistently told to look at their Instagram and were told that we would discuss the decorations about three months before the event. When we finally met to discuss everything, we were surprised to find out that many of the decorations we wanted would cost extra, even though the package we originally chose included the venue and decorations. We understand that additional decorations can have an additional cost, but we were not given clear examples of what decorations were actually included in our package. We also felt pressured to upgrade to another package that we did not want. In the end, we paid more for the decorations we wanted. Unfortunately, the decorations on the day of the quinceañera did not look anything like what we expected or what we had discussed. We specifically wanted large, beautiful bows and even sent pictures showing the size and style we wanted. What we received were very small balloon bows that looked extremely cheap compared to what we paid for. For such an important event, this was very disappointing. Another issue was the way the owner interacted with our guests. We were told that she needed to be at the venue the entire time, which we completely understood. However, she sat directly in front of the entrance for most of the event with a very unwelcoming attitude. Several of our guests commented that they felt uncomfortable and judged by her and her employee. We even offered them food and drinks because we wanted everyone working the event to feel comfortable and welcomed. Things became even more frustrating when we were told there were more guests than we had paid for. We were repeatedly told that people kept coming through the doors. This was not accurate. We had several teenagers and children who were going outside to look at sport cars and then coming back inside. They were already part of our invited guests. Everyone had a seat, and no one was standing because there were not enough seats. When the dancing started, everyone was seated and enjoying the event. Despite this, our security deposit was withheld because of the claim that we had more guests than we paid for. We strongly disagree with that claim and do not believe it was a fair reason to keep our deposit. We have rented from **Imperial Design Hall** in the past, and our experience with them was completely different. They were amazing, professional, and we never had any issues with them. **I 100% recommend Imperial Design Hall.** The only reason we chose Diamond Event Venue this time was because we wanted something closer to us. Looking back, we should have just driven the extra distance and stayed with a venue that we already knew was professional and reliable. This was supposed to be a very special day for our family, and unfortunately, dealing with this venue added unnecessary stress. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Diamond Event Venue. If you are considering booking with them, make sure you get everything regarding your package, decorations, additional charges, guest count, and security deposit clearly documented in writing before your event.

Been to Florida several times in the past and never saw an Alligator. On the way to the Hunting area I saw a smaller Gator so you can cross that one off !. We were on Hogs pretty fast. The only thing was the hunt was over within an hour. Fast forward to the lunch. Deep fried Mahi mahi and fries! It was fresh and you could taste that. All in all it was very nice! I would recommend it and so far after hunting several places in Florida this was the best experience. They offer other hunts so go look the website over. I have to give a shout out to my Guide Walker. The youngster worked hard for me and I appreciate it. Mike the cook threw down a good fish fry . Going again this October for more Hogs ! Great place great people great experience
