Hobe Sound Nature Center
Hobe Sound Nature Center Review
It's located in the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, but this nature center is an independent organization. Its museum, which has baby alligators and crocodiles and a scary-looking tarantula, is a child's delight. A ½-mi trail winds through a forest of sand pine and scrub oak—one of Florida's most unusual and endangered plant communities. It lost its original building in 2004 due to hurricanes and moved into a new building in 2007. A new visitor center opened in 2009.
