Awesome place. Love taking the kids there! They always have new questions about different things and its also quite informative for adults!
I work at Weeks Bay National Estaurine Reserve as a volunteer. It is one of the most rewarding opportunities I have. Meeting and greeting visitors, answering the phone, working the office, and anyway I can help are all ways I can serve the Reserve. The staff is wonderful to work with, the best volunteers and the pleasure of being in this beautiful environment.Don’t miss out on the experiences waiting on you at Weeks Bay. You’ll want to come back time and again!
I dont feel as though I can truly rate this because we went on a day that they were closed for Mardi Gra.
Nice educational experience, especially for the younger ones. Very friendly staff. As a bonus there is a place to take your recycling.
Very interesting walking attraction.
I was greeted by a very welcoming and informative man, I toured the facility saw the little animals and toured the interpretive boardwalk, the center viewing deck has a peaceful beautiful view of Weeks Bay, I wish the kids were still young, they would have loved exploring the boardwalk, the squirrels and chameleons
What a great place for protection of plants and animals. It was so damn hot, but I didn’t care.
Brian greeted us with a smile at the visitor office. He gave us a bunch of information we didnt even know about in our state. He was very informative and really nice! If you had questions, he would sure answer them. We were not able to take the nature trails due to being flooded out, but we did walk the boardwalk which was really nice in itself. Its not a long boardwalk trail, but you can take your time while sitting on some of the benches they provide. We will definitely be back!!
I LOVE this place! The staff is very helpful and information. There are many animals that have been donated that really show the diversity of the area. The building is clean and seems to be well taken care of.
Came here with my five year old and two year old! They LOVED it!!! Great trails and the visitors center is loaded with information and just awesome!
Nice little hidden gem in Baldwin County
Nice place to walk
This was a fascinating experience. LG Adams was such a wonderful host and had many answers to our questions. If he didnt know, he knew who would know. We Highly recommend this location for school and homeschool groups.
Great for bird watching and checking out flora.
A wonderful place to have a few moments of quiet time and get to watch some American Bald Eagles flying by, roosting or best yet -- shopping for a meal along the rivers mouth or in the bay. Bring a camera, especially if you have one with a telephoto lens.
Nice place to go for a walk
Always love walking the boardwalk and seeing the exhibits. Staff is always helpful and friendly.
Nice boardwalk with natural scenery and educational opportunities.
Plant sale sponsored by Baldwin County Master Gardeners was really good. Always helpful with questions and good selection of plantings for our area.
Great place to enjoy nature. Its education if you want it to be. As you walk along the boardwalks things are labeled such as trees and plants by common and scientific name. Wife was excited because she got to see her first ribbonsnake in the wild. Great place to bring the family
We spent about 45 minutes in the wildlife Center. The Gentleman educated us and discussed with us several displays of wildlife exhibits. Live snakes, Hermit Crabs and more than plenty to go back to see again. :}. A+++++My 5yr old lovvvved it :}
Took my grandson. We had a wonderful time!
Quiet -secluded yet Informational.
Nice trail... Saw humongous banana spider!! See live creatures, as well as mounted. Very nice people working there!! Will have to go back!!
Gate was open past 5pm. Didnt see the sign (facing the trees), went down the board walk came back within 10 min and was locked in behind metal gates. Walked down park looking for an office or grounds person & yelling for anyone, no answer. Im not local, have small kids with me and dogs at home 45 min away. Not happy that I got stuck. Popped tire offroading out (tire is not fixable). Got stuck changing a tire.Please make an attempt to move signs where people can see them and since the parking lot is small, the ranger that locked the gates should take 5 min of his/her time to walk down the board walk to warn people who will potentially be stuck overnight. If thats too much to ask then at least leave an after hours number visible on the lovely gate so we have someone to call.
Beautiful place...we enjoy it every time we come here!
Short hiking trail. Good views.
Very convenient recycling center to my home
I have lived in Baldwin County my entire life and have been around the water for all of it. It was still a very enjoyable outing with the kids and the wife. Lots of things to see and learn and a very nice walk through the wetland area. I highly recommend this for everyone.
Great tour of the weeks bay estuary. Fred Nation is one of the best. His knowledge is above excellent.
Excellent place to walk through wetlands and enjoy nature. Nice raised boardwalk takes you to water and around the wetlands. Peaceful with benchs to rest.
Fantastic views, not crowded & easy to get to.
What an amazing place! Very happy and lucky to have this place in Lower Alabama! Go visit and learn about our fragile environment along the Gulf Coast.
Nice Place to unwind and fish. If you have a Kayak or a boat, and you have not been here.... You got to. Stay until the sun sets.
Staff is very knowledgeable. Our family had a great time
Very interesting place
Very nice, wish the inside was larger and had more information but the boardwalk to the observation decks are wonderful and the plant labeling along the way is great as well.
Nice views of the bay, nice trails to walk around on. It was an easy way to take the kids out into nature.
Great place to go
Great place to visit. Brian was very knowledgeable, friendly and informative.
Neat little museum. Be sure.to walk the board walk. Bring your binoculars and camera if you are into birding. Bald eagles nest near by every year.
Spent about an hour and a half here exploring the board walk trail and nature trail. A handful of tiny exhibits and extremely nice and knowledgeable staff. Bring sunscreen.
Great little facility - very friendly and informed staff. A lot of info and very good exhibits.
Great place to learn about local wildlife and understand local estuaries and habitat. Friendly and accommodating staff.
Unbelievable awesome place. Highly recommend going there!!!!
Such a wonderful place to enjoy the nature and the land of the area!
Great staff and very educational of the area environment.
Fun and informative!! The drawers in the education room with local animals/insects/marine life was fascinating for the kids!!
The animals inside were fun to look at, but where the boardwalks led was not what I expected.
Excellent coastal experience and educational displays. Nice boardwalk trails.
Great place, but do remember to use bug repellent.
The visitor center is awesome, particularly if you have kids. Dont miss the animal specimen collection in the back classroom.
Great informational boardwalk over swamp. Educational
Always a nice walk.
Not a lights flashing place. Quiet appreciation of nature.
Our first visit to WBR was with granddaughter visiting from NJ; live snakes, drawers of native flora & fauna captivated her inquisitive mind-ours too! History of the area, elevated maps for flooding, a nature trail where red headed woodpeckers were seen; all manner of native flowers blooming! Aside from great photos of our grand, she had memories to share during Show & Tell back in Jersey. The end of the boardwalk opening onto Weeks Bay is a fitting end to the walk; picnic lunch [take your trash back with you!] while talking about our adventure was a grand afternoon. Next visit we booked a bird watching tour via the WBR pontoon boat; met interesting people, saw a Bald Eagle, Pelicans, porpoises, turtles; a magical adventure both times. Now we visit monthly. AND the Pitcher Plant Bob is right around the corner! Bring bugspray!
