New Operating Hours 

Help us Stay Clean and Safe!

• If you plan to pack a lunch or a snack, use the picnic facilities located in Red Reef West, at the south end of the boardwalk.  Picnicking is not permitted on Gumbo Limbo property.  Food invites unwanted wildlife interactions to our facility that can be harmful to the animals we have on exhibit, as well as visitors, staff, and volunteers.
