Great place, fun to visit, that puffer was huge, and the sharks were very active for nurse sharks. Im used to them staying inactive on the floor. I got some great shots.

My kids and my husband and I really enjoyed our visit! We would love to come back when some of the hands-on activities are back open. The admission price was extremely reasonable, especially considering prices of other attractions in the area. The staff was friendly and my kids bought a few stuffed animals as souvenirs that are adorable.

Great little place to visit. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a wonderful experience!

Nice place overall I stayed 1 night to go visit the blue spring... They give good customer service.

What a fun experience for the family. It’s a cute old wooden house filled full of wonderful Florida creatures. They have butterflies out front facing Delray Beach, turtles, snakes and a Macaw Parrot in the front patio, fish, more snakes, an opossum, an owl and shark inside, and a pool out back with sharks in it. What else can you ask for in under 3000 square feet. It is a learning experience geared for kids with a play room upstairs that includes books, microscopes and puppets. The back yard had three nurse sharks in the converted pool. The feeding is around 10:30 and 1:30 on Sunday and it is something not to miss. The guide gives a great talk while feeding the sharks and is full of shark facts. We really enjoyed the place and for $5 you really can’t go wrong. Free parking.

Definitely could use a shot of funding. Staff were nice people. No bottled water for sale or fountain!!

Small. Personal. Inside. Outside. Upstairs. Inexpensive. Perfect for 3-10 year olds. So much life to see.

Lovely place to visit.

Love this place. Great for children who love learning about sea life or have a fascination for sharks.

Took our 3 year old granddaughter there. I thought even though it is small, it was very educational and informativeThey really appeal to young children. Even have childrens activity room upstairs next to a room with a huge seashell collection.We saw them feeding the sharks in the pool between the house.Right across the street from the ocean.

Historic home across the street from the beach. Displays of Shells from around the world, tanks for some small sea creatures, and Feed the Sharks 1x per week event. The sharks are housed out back. When I visited, it was Sand Sharks. You can see the Sharks anytime swimming out back.

Very nice experience for a small price of a donation. Go during the shark feeding as the demo was very educational and interesting. Enjoyed seeing the little owl and the shell collection!

Great place awesome workers ,we were visiting and they suggested food place for us also let us feed the sharks. Awesome view on balcony super interesting around feeding time. Best customer service and let Ive ever experienced on a trip.

Nice little educational marine center with different types of fish tanks and wildlife....also a nice shark pool out back

I love this place! it is an awesome place i learned so much from all the staff

There are not enough words to say how much I enjoyed this place. There were replicas of fossilized shark jaws. So many of them. There was a beautiful shell Gallery upstairs with shells from all over the world. I was so envious. But the best part was seeing the nurse sharks being fed. And learning a great deal about some of the native sharks to the state of Florida. This is a definite place to go if you are in Delray. Wasnt just educational but was greatly entertaining.

Staff were so rude and were not welcoming but the place itself was great and amazing.

Quaint little interactive place for kids .

Very interesting walk thru on a post-beach afternoon.

Very good. I met a manta ray named Batman.

This place is good for the family to visit, but sometime the trash is everywhere

Great place to bring the little ones to learn about marine life. The biodiversity in the center itself is impressive. This place is absolutely kid friendly. Worth the visit.

Such a learning experience for the little ones!! Loved the shark feeding time!

Excellent place to bring the family! Loved Megamouth exhibit! Stay for shark feeding! Buy something in the gift shop! And dont leave without visiting the precious nocturnal screech owl! Shhh...

Excellent field trip, Evan was a great guide and it proved educational as well as fun. The trip covered coastal habitats, plants, keystone and invasive species and conservation. I would highly recommend either a tour or field trip for locals.

This is a perfect short stop for your antsy toddler.

Great little place to visit! We stayed about two hours which was just right. Well worth going early for the shark feeding. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. There is limited free parking for visitors.

Small little 2 story old house that was converted to a sea animal exhibit with plenty to read about and a great feeding show. Good for the kids and family for educational material. The narrator of the feeding show of the nurse sharks made the whole visit worthwhile. He was great. If you have time to wait for the feedings make sure you stay for it. You wont regret it.

A Great Showcase of all types marine, and South Florida wild life. Very educational for all ages.

Suprising little nature center. Historic site. Great for kids. Feeding the sharks. Incredible selection of kids nature books.

Great time. Well informed staff. Staff spent time answering questions

Very good service

My friends and I found Sandoway and decided to go and visit. It is such a cute place to spend a few hours, located right across the street from Delray Beach and great for teaching kids about local Florida wildlife! I would definitely come back here especially for the $6 admission!

Nice place very educational. But no stingray exhibit. The reason we went.They should have told us before we paid admission. Then I wanted to buy a souvenir T-Shirt but they couldnt make change on a $100.00

Really fun. Love the sharks in the pool. A local treasure.

We had our daughter’s 7th birthday at Sandoway and it was the most wonderful experience. Our marine biologist guide (Aaron) was patient, funny and very engaging with the kids. Kids learned so much about the animals with interactive activities.Other parents were very impressed as well.If anyone is looking for birthday parties for your young ones, this is THE place!

The shark feedings here are my favorite - definitely check them out.

Fun place, missed the shark feeding.

4 because my phone is dumb and broke ,it will not let me click 5 stars

Beautiful garden in the back

It’s worth a visit for sealing the deal on an educational trip... stay for the shark feeding.

Very educational. Does a lot with what tbey have available. Nice employees. Rays were off exhibit.

Our kids loved this place! We especially enjoyed the shark feeding, it was fun and also very educational!

Great couple hrs with the grandkids

Very nice spot for kids and yes you get to watch sharks get fed

Amazing little place for learning and discovery. Great for little ones to learn about marine life!

This is a wonderful place to take visitors whether it be children or grandchildren lots to learn lots to discover a very cool place

$18 for three people was pretty steep considering we saw everything in 10 minutes, the volunteers were rude and acted as if my 10 year daughter was annoying them by asking questions. She literally said “can you finish so I can feed the fish?” Like we were in her way, definitely never wasting money again here, shame because my daughter loves this place

Very informative! Unique historical setting.

I really like this place, especially at night!!

Amazing place to see and great for children... Make sure to check the schedule so you can witness the shark feeding....

The shark feeding was entertaining but for $18 for 3 people, there was not much there. We saw everything in 15 minutes. I guess they dont have stingrays anymore as I saw on previous reviews.

A great place to bring out of town guests and or youngsters.Very friendly and helpful staff.Price is reasonable.

Was super into checking this place out, until the person at the desk said if your visiting its 6 dollars it left a bad taste and we walked out.Ill not saying the person was rude but could have handled the admission charge a little better, and for a rinky dinky place not worth the charge.

Mostly for kids, but a fun plce.

If I wasnt in the area already, Id be greatly disappointed. This place is very small, however, good displays and variety considering how small it is. Good to visit if in area....

Hundreds of different shells, 5ft sharks in a pool, reptiles, birds... It’s a small museum but totally worth the $5 admission!

Wonderful family friendly destination that wasnt overcrowded or over commercial. Take the time to explore what on the surface seems like a small place because thhere are loads of learning opportunities for the young and not so young. We will make this a must stop visit whenever we are in the area. Check times for the shark and ray feeding sessions because the marine biologist who does these goes above and beyond in sharing information and sparking interest to learn more.

More fun than I thought. And educational. Thanks.

Nice place for little kids say 18mo to 5. The shark feeding, and my 21mo son getting to touch a live Rat snake was the highlight of his tour.

This is an adorable little place with lots of things to see. Its a great way to kill a few hours while you are in Delray. I absolutely love the gigantic puffer in the back pool.

Such a gem! Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable!

It was a great little educational stop.

Very sad to see such large sharks in a tiny swimming pool, that cant even be legal let alone ethical. I felt terrible. House was cute and loved the history of the home itself and some of the other exhibits but the sharks were very sad to see.

The place itself was pretty good but the christens activities were not good and nice beach across the street

Nice little family friendly nature museum. Shark feeding was interesting . Great learning experience..

Havent been there, parked to check out the BEAUTIFUL DELRAY BEACH !

Great little place for kids to learn and have some personal experience with stingrays, and other sea creatures. Small, butinteresting. Anything educational is fun for kids.

Cool and informative. Give out a visit!

Absolutely worth the visit! Weve been coming for a decade now and its still amazing!

Cool little Discovery center. They have live exhibits of sea turtles

It is a very quaint animal sanctuary. Really awesome shark room!!

Really neat place great for the kids and adults.

Loved the shark feeding! Very educational

This is local ecology at its best and across the street from the beach! The shark feeding and stingray feedings are a must! Perfect place to engage children and have them learn about ocean life. The staff is passionate and takes the time to answer your questions.

Small but interesting. The sharks in the backyard are fun to see. The shell room is beautiful. Take your time there and appreciate what is on display.

This place is incredible!! Its all about saving wildlife and saving the world.. I support that 100%..

The Misss went there with the kids a few weeks ago and she said it was great. Although it seems like it was some kind of normal house with a pool but they modified it so well for the sea creatures there at the point that it turned into a wonderful sanctuary and the kids loved it . Thank you Sandoway and crew, for the experience!! Good job!.

Great place for young kids

Incredibly fun (for a couple bucks)! An outing that the entire family can enjoy.

Never to old to learn this place was great and its non profit so your 5 bucks to enter goes a long way I seen the gator feeding and ray feeding and plan to go back for nurse shark feeding and they have plenty of free parking so dont hesitate to stop on and learn

Really great place to engage children in the wonders of the ocean. They have drawing and games upstairs and exhibits with tanks to touch live sting rays in the back. The workers here are salt-of-the-earth kind of people who are passionate about what they do. Great little gem of a place.

Feeding the sharks! So educational. Adorable little gift shop.

Sea critters galore. You get to pet the stingrays beautiful house turned into magical aquarium. Includes a Seemore the Screeching Owl!!

So glad there are people and groups out there fighting the good fight.

Fun, interesting, interactive. Highly recommend!

Nice nature center very informative docent

Its a little place along the ocean. I did a field trip here and tried to find a seat off the bus to sit but I could only find one picnic table and it just happened to be too windy that day to stay sitting there. The kids said they had fun, very informative.

We really love coming to Sandoway for the continued education, enjoyment and affordability out of our visits. Its a local treasure. Also, always eager to share with others how animated, passionate and knowledgeable the staff is to answer all the kids questions. Its great destination right on the beach for everyone who is interested in nature, museums, learning and marine life.

Amazing little gem. Be sure to check times for the shark and stingray feedings. The staff is passionate and knowledgeable... You can tell they love their work.

Really neat little place to see some snakes and sea creatures. They do shark feedings and stingray feedings. Admission is only $5

Incredible place to visit with my 8 yr old.Sandoway is located in an historic restored home just across the street from the beach. Perfect place to cool off or visit during the rain. Its on the small side but is packed with great activities.On the deck outside is a very friendly entertaining macaw parrot, a friendly box turtle, more turtles, a tortoise, and tabletop sandbox fossil dig for $1.The first floor has beautiful aquarium setups with incredible corals & creatures. Theres a microscope lab room with guided discovery booklets for each grade level. Theres fossil displays, shark teeth displays and aquariums with small sharks, alligators & snakes.Outside is a manta ray touch tank & a tank with three big nurse sharks, bat rays and a big puffer fish. Check website for feeding times. The handler is entertaining and shares an incredible amount of shark knowledge during the feeding. *** There was a 10 yr old birthday kid there who was able to assist and feed the sharks. We were told that the feeding opportunity is avail for big kids with a signed waiver. Must call to reserve a space for training in advance. ***Upstairs is a kids room with books, stuffies, models, etc with an outdoor observation deck, a nocturnal room with possum and owl and the SHELL MUSEUM. The shell collection has specimens from all over the world and is super organized in pull out drawers that even a 2yr old was able to access. As an avid shell gatherer, my kiddo was mesmerized by all of the beautiful examples.We had a blast and stayed for 2hrs. Well worth admission.Hours:TUES - SAT: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PMSUN: 12:00 PM - 4:00 PMMON: CLOSEDCLOSED MAJOR HOLIDAYS$5 Per Person Ages 3 and UpParking:3 public lots surrounding Sandoway. Free parking pass is avail at admissions desk for use in the SOUTH Lot Only.

Very much worth $5 and it is air conditioned right on the coast. You can (GENTLY) pet the sting rays and see a few real sharks

The place is clean and the animals look healthy, but I feel that the habitat when they keep a little owl and a possum is way too small. They should improve and make it more comfortable. The staff very friendly.

Wonderful for the kids. Great value.

Not stroller friendly. but educational for small children

Nice spot to kill 30 mins to an hour. 5$ entry free, a fair price to see the sharks in the backyard pool

SO COOL! GREAT EXPERIENCE! LOVED BT A #LOCAL

Everybody should come and see this especially with your kids. Interesting and educational. Great idea to show all of the local fish and wildlife.

I love sea creatures and this is the place to see them all. Very clean and nice presentation of the animals. Very nice landscape and people who are either volunteers or workers.
