Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Nice drive though the everglades of florida. Quiet and peaceful drive. Plenty of places to pull over and walk around. Take your time and watch for allegators and other unique animals. Dont rush through the area. My biggest advice is to bring bug spray. Mosquitoes are very bad.

We found the refuge by accident, looking for somewhere to watch a launch that didn’t happen. As soon as we drove into the park we were taken with its beauty, and how close the water was to the road, an unusual feeling. We went to the Visitor’s Centre, a beautifully designed building with access to boardwalks over the water. Our welcome from the volunteers was so friendly and helpful, it was a joy talking to them. Even the shop had interesting items for sale, nothing tacky. The park itself was a haven, quiet and peaceful, yet full of interest. We sadly didn’t see any manatees, but we did see a tortoise, vultures, and eagle and jays. I would love to come back and spend more time exploring, and it is a wonderful counterpart to the Kennedy Centre, as far apart as attractions can get, yet both with enormous appeal.

At first they were under construction, but we took a brief walk to the bridge, we were lucky enough to see several manatees, where the employee ended up saying that they really like to stay there, our first and unforgettable encounter with them was there. We simply love it!

As a photographer, I've been coming to Merritt Island NWR for years. You never know what you'll encounter but I must say that the last few years the bird count has been down. Ten years ago you would tire from all the targets that availaded themselves around the area. Not so much the last few years. Still, I visit a couple times a year, as I say, you never know.

Take the 7 mile tour!!!! Wow the views were awesome. January must be quite the bird month. Took us quite awhile to drive this as we had to stop and look at everything.

We took a day, left the Kissimmee area and headed for Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. We are glad we did. The first stop was the visitor center where we encountered Mr Bob. He was delightful and was very knowledgeable about the area. We spent the entire day exploring most of the sights and sounds around Merritt Island. Highlights were the boardwalk behind the visitor center(several butterflies were spotted), the 7 mile wildlife drive(encountered many different types of birds, a small snake and changes in area), manatee oberservation deck(saw many manatee, a dolphin, a fish spinning out of the water and a large pontoon boat which made the draw bridge open), we drove to the canal. We had spotty showers throughout the day so we were in the car most of the day. Overall it was a welcome change of pace from fast paced and over crowded Orlando.

Worth the time to visit. For a small donation you get to drive through the Kennedy space center nature preserve. Herons, alligators, turtles and manatees

We drove to the Visitor Centre and picked up a map and some guidance from there first. The gentleman behind the desk was super friendly and really helpful.
He drew the two Route available on the map and also highlighted the Manatee Watching Area
We made our way around at our own pace starting at about 10 in the morning.
Some folk seemed in a bigger rush but each to their own. Whilst we saw a couple of alligators the photos weren’t great as they poked just their eyes out of the water but we did manage to photograph a few types of wildlife and absolutely loved the manatees.
I imagine if you came earlier in the day you might see more wildlife. Tickets can be bought on line and you then display them in your window. I’m sure you called ahead the day before you could get directions of where to start if you wanted to get here earlier than they open the visitor centre.
We did a couple of the short trail walks but there is a 5 mile walk if you are more adventurous and can cope with the humidity.

Quiet, not crowded. Unspoiled. So very glad this land was preserved, not developed. Went in early June so not a lot of animal activity but thoroughly enjoyed no crowds. Saw gators, wild feral hog, turtles and manatees and dolphins….if you love nature, you will appreciate this place. Plan to go again over winter months to see more activity.

Sorry only just seen your question.
If it’s not too late I would call the visitors centre at the refuge. They are really friendly n helpful and will be able to give you up to date information

I read that the visitors center is closed, are the restrooms there and/or at station 9 of the wildlife drive open?
Skrevet 21. januar 2021
There are several porta-potties in the parking lot of the visitor center. Yes, the visitor center is closed.
Skrevet 10. mars 2021
This particular location doesn't have them as far as I could tell. But if you drive something like 15 minutes away towards a bridge. Going towards New Smyrna there is a draw bridge called Haulover Canal. They have parking spots around the bridge. You can get out and see some.

We are thinking of going tomorrow afternoon. Will we need bug spray?
Skrevet 14. mars 2019
Yes I would recommend bug spray, the mosquito's and the sand fleas can be very bad sometimes.
Skrevet 14. mars 2019
Is it currently open and is there a fee to get in?
Skrevet 12. januar 2019
It is open daily and it requires a pass to tour the area and the beaches. Beaches are actually the Canaveral National Seashore but the south beaches “Playalinda” are beautiful and are accessible from the refuge. You can get a pass at the visitors center or a self serve kiosk. Closes at sunset.

How is the government shutdown effecting visitors? First time in area Jan 2019.
Skrevet 8. januar 2019
There was no one to open the visitor center and no one to refill the pay envelopes by the beginning of the drive. Therefore, no way to pay. There’s no one to clean the bathrooms so they may be getting rather nasty by now. My advice, plan on visiting a local fast food place before and after the drive through Merritt Island. Take any trash back home with you so you don’t add to any accumulation. When we went, a week into the shutdown, considerate visitors were policing themselves pretty well. If they no longer are, the park may get shutdown like others have.

How is the accessibility there? I use a scooter... I used my scooter on the nature trails at Hillsborough River State Park and it worked fine.

What is th eprice of admission?
Skrevet 27. februar 2018
the only fees I am aware of are for the Black Point Wildlife Drive. It is $10. I believe there is a fee also if you go to the beach.
Skrevet 3. mars 2018
How long would you suggest for a visit? We are going in August? What time of day will be best to see wildlife?
Where & when can you see Manatees? (Thank you)
Skrevet 6. mai 2017
The best time to do the Black Point Wildlife drive, where I saw the most Wildlife, is first thing in the morning and 1.5 hours before sunset. I went both times. I went to the Canaveral Seashore for sunrise, which was amazing, and then drove over and did the loop. I came back at the end of the day about 2 hours before sunset and did it again and got lucky!!!!!! Saw a BOBCAT!!!! Take your time, you never know what you'll see!!!! I saw manatees near the boat launch. Flow the road to the drawbridge that is closed, and go to the left. Also, check the National Park Service website for closures and other info. Also see what walks or talks they may have available. They have binoculars you can borrow as well!!!! Have fun!!!!
