I went during a time when the Crystal River was cloudy and I could barely see the manatees. I remember touching one but I just didn't enjoy it. It wasn't for me.

It was a nice place to visit, convenient and clean. The staff was great especially the man who took us on the boatride down the canal. Everyone was so knowledgable and took their time to answer all of your questions.

The real Florida. Wonderful volunteer guides in family friendly environment that takes you back to the Florida of years past.
