Do you want a chance to really make a difference in the world? Would you like to teach your children a new respect for the Earth, our coastal regions, and the creatures that depend upon the oceans for their very survival? You can do this and much more when you make the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center and Environmental Complex your next family destination.
How would you like to enjoy a sunny afternoon with your children strolling along a beach boardwalk or walking barefoot in the warm sands at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean? What if this is all a prelude to an afternoon trip to a world class educational center that is filled with a wonderful variety of unusual and endangered sea creatures?
If you love the ocean and want to learn more about marine and coastal life then you should definitely plan a trip to the Gumbo Limbo Environmental Complex that is located in Boca Raton, Florida. This educational center welcomes kids and adults of all ages and it is a place where there is always something unusual for you to learn, see or experience.
The expansive grounds of the complex include the Oceanside boardwalk, an observation tower, a unique butterfly garden. There is even an authentically constructed Chiki hut sitting on the beach that is used as an educational classroom for both students and visitors.
Gumbo Limbo is dedicated to nature conservancy issues and furthering the understanding about the fragile ocean ecosystem. It is also a cooperative foundation that has been established since 1984. The founding organizations that continue to support the work and research that is done at this complex include the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center Corporation, the Palm Beach School Districts, the city of Boca Raton and Florida Atlantic University.
Among the many programs offered at Gumbo Limbo are marine life classes that are provided free of charge to 3rd, 5th and 7th grade students who attend school in Palm Beach County. High school students get to experience their marine life educational instruction while attending a real-life, floating classroom that is only accessible by boat.
The Gumbo Limbo Nature Center even has seminars, classes and lectures that the public can sign up for during the year. Inside the main complex center there are a number of teaching stations where anyone can go and learn an amazing amount of information the plants and animals that live in the oceans and along the coasts.
There is a Sea Turtle Research and Conservation program that is also associated with the Gumbo Limbo Environmental Complex. This program has been operational for more than 30 years and today it is responsible for conducting nesting activity research along a 5 mile stretch of Boca Raton beaches during the peak season which is March to October.
Professors, employees and students at the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center are involved in studies about the effect of different lighting on sea turtles, and there even studies being conducted that involve the anatomy and swimming abilities of these gentle giants that live in the oceans.
This top Boca Raton attraction has a number of unique programs for families, kids, teens or adults to participate in throughout the year. The majority of these educational adventures are geared toward family participation. In these instances one, or more, adults must accompany the children and stay for the entire event. These nature programs might include boat trips to the floating classroom, overnight stays on the beach, hikes through the marshlands or bird watching expeditions. You can discover how to create Gyotaku art or be part of a beach clean up effort.
There are even Turtle Walks and Hatchling Release trips that are available to the public. Some of these programs require that you purchase a Gumbo Limbo Nature Center membership. The opportunity to take part in these exciting family style adventures iswell worth the small cost of a membership.
I recently put pen to paper and took a long, hard look at the Boca Raton real estate market over not only the past month or year, but the past three years, and found that there is finally some good news to report to those Boca Raton buyers and sellers that are out there waiting and watching to make their move.
I have put together two spreadsheets that document in detail my findings and for the first time in three years it shows a positive move. There are various reasons that have taken some patience and time to bring this housing market slump to take a upturn, which I have documented on my blog too. To learn more about my Boca Raton real estate market findings, please visit my website.

There is nothing that I can suggest to improve your services. You were professional, friendly and well informed on the real estate market.

Thank you so much for all your help and support. You made it a very positive experience.
Thank you!"
