"This museum is a great way to get your kids out and excited with interactive learning activities inside. This museum educates you on Native American history along with some of today's. Some of the preserved findings inside were discovered by a st pete archeologists. They have a lot of different artifacts to discover with your family. This museum also educates you on some of the animals in the surrounding areas. To top it off this place is a great place to come kayak and do some trailing with your family plus there's a really great looking point. :) This place is HUGE with plenty to do! Highly recommend!"

"The photos/video are from the observation tower. I adore it here. I don't have photos of the trails, and plan on taking pictures, maybe even a short video next time we go. It's so beautiful here and definitely worth the visit."

"A great Native American History center set within the 3,200 acres of Weedon Island Preserve. Native Americans lived on Weedon island 1,000 to 1,800 years ago. The exhibit center is nicely laid out to help visitors understand ancient and modern people and how the two shaped each other. The Native American sites in the preserve were excavated by a St Petersburg archaeological firm starting in 1992 and continued for several years. One notable find is a boat made from a hollowed-out log, that was discovered preserved in mud. A fascinating place to visit."

"The place is neat and worth seeing if you’ve got nothing else to do, but it gets hot quickly and a lot of it is just walking to spots where you hope to see something. I appreciate the info at the nature center and the fact they’ve worked to keep this park available for people to come and enjoy. I recommend watching the video in the nature center on the history of the land and the archeological finds."

"A must see when visiting the preserve! Great for kids. The staff is friendly and a bunch to see. Take a quick walk through the exhibits and ask at the desk for a free backpack rental that includes maps, binoculars, and other goodies."
