Sarasota Audubon Nature Center

Beautiful oasis of peace. Cross the road for a wonderful water landscape

Always a breath of fresh air. Lots of birds to admire. A couple boardwalks across the street, don't forget to wear sunblock and pack a lunch. Great peaceful atmosphere. Sometimes you can hear the lions roar from the big cat habitat~ next door!

When I visit the Sarasota area I love to go for hikes here and enjoy bird watching. They have nice boardwalks and gazebos and Audubon experts to help you see and identify birds. I've had first sighting of birds here and ever saw river otters here. Many nature groups and Audobon groups like to go here for outings but you can also go on your own and enjoy!!

Celery fields is a gem for bird watching. One can go every day and see different birds. In season there is a naturalist on the boardwalk to tell you what you're seeing.

The best part of this facility is the gardens next to the building and the boardwalk across the street. We enjoyed seeing the many local birds that make this place home.
