Great boardwalk with every now and then a hut where you can sit down and enjoy the view. Nature center has a lot of information about the history of the area

This is such amazing place. We got to meet the cutest little alligator named Dash and the rest of the animals there. The nature center was a great experience but the boardwalk outside is a little underwhelming. In all, a great afternoon trip.

This is a delightful park that has a little bit of something for everyone. The center itself is a fun and interactive place for kids and adults to experience a small,taste of florida nature up close and personal. Their exhibit room is stunning and informative. They also have daily animal feedings :-) my kids adore this place!

It is a small nature center but very nice

Amazing place, lots of information and some wonderful animals for us to observe.They are doing renovations and soon the place will be even better.

Seen many animals and very informative. Our students at GAP Christian Academy really enjoyed themselves.

Adorable educational center nestled in a beautiful public park. So glad I stumbled upon this hidden little gem. Great for families and kids, both big and small alike.

Relaxing love the atmosphere here at Daggerwing... My 14yr old begs to come here... its really a great place.

Good for kids, lots of informative displays. No nature trail. Workers at front desk could not tell me anything about gopher tortoise on display.

Nice place. mini zoo. and Trail

Nice little nature walk. Took my toddler up the watch tower and he was fascinated.

They do a good job cleaning up the boardwalk, normally theres a billion ants everywhere but thats not the case if its been maintained and cleaned during that week/day. Hit or miss really. But the views are nice, I pretty much just bird watch there.

Very good exhibits! Feeding of a juvenile alligator! Butterflies! Free admission and parking!

Beautiful park. Nature exhibit sized perfectly for little ones.

Cute free place to take the kids. We really had a great time.

A great place to take a walk with nature. The boardwalk offers some spectacular views of native vegetation and environment. The viewing tower at the east end of the boardwalk allows you to see the trees and water from above. The Nature Center is a visually engaging education resource that gives stunning graphic illustration of the inhabitants of our South Florida environment and ecosystem. Great place to take the family - all ages. Catch the sunset.

Awesome nature center. Cant say enough you just have to fo and take the kids. Inside is a learning experience, knowledgeable staff and outside is remarkable just the sights, especially the butterflies all types and wildlife. Its a educational experience, I would tell friends and family and if you work near Daggerwing and just want peace for an hour this would be the place to go

Love this place. Awesome nature trail with a lookout tower, with free entry!

Nice interpretation center, free entrance. Learn about the local fauna. They even have a live alligator in there!

The staff is so informative and helpful! Great for kids and adults. The boardwalk and overlook are beautiful and make for a great view of the park. A must visit, whether you live there or are just visiting. Also... FREE!

I was there on a field trip today with my child. It was raining so the staff had indoor learning activities for the children. We learned about birds/owels, reptiles, turtles and many other species living in fl wetlands. We also did arts and crafts. I would totally take my children back here, enjoy.

Cute local nature center, worth a visit :-)

Great fun and educational experience for the whole family!We went there for a walk and then were present at the feeding of George the skunk.Few days later attended the Animal Keeper for a Day event and the kids (9 & 7 yrs) loved it!Even the 2,5 yrs toddler had a great time.It was so nice to see the people who take such a good and loving care of the animals!

Spacious, lovely, and clean. Enjoy the peace and quiet, time to enjoy nature in a safe environment.

Best opportunity to feel the nature...

To put it simply, its a great, somewhat out of the way nature center and boardwalk trail to visit whenever its open. Fair weather is recommended for visiting if you arent the type to handle Florida heat.Also, be sure to hold onto your plastic bottles and other disposable things, as this is a natural area. Do not even think about carelessly dropping trash here, as it ruins the sightseeing experience, and is also illegal.Warm regards otherwise, though.

Daggerwing Nature Center is located inside of Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park. Just follow the signs in the park, you cant miss it. The nature center is named for the S Ruddy Daggerwing butterfly. The 39 acre nature center has a 3,000 foot exhibit center built in 2007 when the nature center underwent 2 million dollar expansion. The exhibit hall has live animals, displays, laboratories, classrooms, and a butterfly garden out front. Many educational programs are put on by the staff here throughout the year. One of the programs they offer is night hikes. I used to take my daughter to the Earth Day program and ladybug release. This year the Earth Day celebration is on April 27th from 10 to 2 PM. The center has limited hours and even when it is closed you can still visit the nature trail elevated boardwalk.The .6 mile boardwalk trail starts off behind the nature center. It crosses over wetlands where I saw turtles swimming. In the past I have seen alligators here. The boardwalk then enters into a tropical hammock. Here you will see pond apple, strangler figs, and myrsine. If you take the trail to the left you end at an observation tower where at the top I found some teenagers smoking pot. The trail to the right takes you over the forest floor covered in giant ferns. The trail dead ends and you have to turn around to go back. Animals that have been spotted at the nature center include Osprey, woodpeckers, butterflies, turtles, and alligators.The purpose of the nature center is to provide environmental education and recreation. There is no cost to visit. Its perfect for kids or anyone who loves nature. If you are lucky and look closely you may spot the centers namesake butterfly among the flowers out front.

Celebration was full of fun and children. Great time

Great place, well maintained , workers really do their job properly.

Beautiful relaxing place to visit and take pictures of nature!

Cute and fun place.

Nice park, staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the local plants, animals and butterflies that were every where

A very well maintained nature center! Very Relaxing and the staff were very friendly!

Daggerwing nature center is an amazing educational experience. They have live animal exhibits including Artemis the owl! Check in on Fridays for feedings.

Loved the nature center and park. My kids keep asking to go back. Their favorite part was the giant bee inside the nature center and touching the alligator.

There are birds here! Tweet Tweet

Nice to get outside and enjoy whatever sun you can get

For children 8 and under this is a great place that is FREE and they can learn about Butterflies (that is where the name comes from) and about other animals including an Owl, Alligators, Skunk and more. There is a crafts and books are for the kids to keep busy and they book birthday parties. There are also outdoor paths for enjoying nature. FREE!

I love this place for exercising my walking power. So peaceful and pretty.

Very nice butterfly garden end surrounding area

Love this place! Daggerwing is a delightful nature center. Theres a boardwalk that goes about 1-2 miles depending on which route you take, and it includes a tower that goes up about 30 feet. You cant see that much from the top of the tower so Im not sure why its there, but its a short and fun climb.The boardwalk is open pretty much everyday, even when the center itself is closed. The staff are very pleasant too, and they have a schedule of activities with a lot for kids.

A little forest in the middle of the park. I love to escape here sometimes.

Great place for children and those who love nature. The butterfly garden out front with the two nature trails make this a great destination. The nature center is located inside of a park with many other things to do, easily a days adventure for the little ones.

Got to watch them feed their juvenile alligator, Dash. Nice peaceful boardwalk to enjoy. Great exhibits, and staff there are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely go again!!

Great free place to take the kids. Animal feedings everyday

Very nice and very clean park

I planned a Girl Scout troop field trip last summer here. Although my fault, I got the time wrong and we arrived an hour late. When I got there they said they put back the animals and would not bring them back out. We toured the floor and had 10 very sad girls on our hands. I then received a nasty email from one of the staff members the next day, I don’t think that was necessary. Sorry for being late, but staff not nice or empathetic. Won’t be going back.

Swank nature walks plus butterflies plus a waterpark - how could a person go wrong?

A great little nature trail and welcome center! We love the butterfly garden!

Great nature boardwalk on the western edge of Palm Beach Countys urban area. Its name comes from the Daggerwing butterfly which is frequently seen in the area. The nature center is in na massive regional park which has Golf course, water park and amphitheater. There are also numerousnature picnic tables and pavilions around the nature center and park.There is no admission fee for either area although the golf course and waterpark have admission fees.

Very relaxing boardwalk, large park with soccer/football fields, basketball and tennis courts. Large lake for your watersports. Park also has an area for pets. Will recommend this park to anyone.

We love to geocache here. Havent heard of geocaching, look it up through google ;)

Nice views and a very plesant walk.

Always a nice place to spend time with the children.

Beautiful nature trail. Lake with lots of turtles and fish.

Very nice place to take the kids to learn about nature. They have wooden walking paths but there arent as nice as some of the other nature places in the area

Great Facility (but the Google posted hours are wrong!) - be sure to call or visit the website for the most accurate information!

Very atmospheric nature trail. I would reccomend it to anyone and everyone.

Delightful place to visit. Interesting programs and exhibits that appeal to all ages.

Much cooler than it seems from outside.
