We've visitied the Memorial a couple of times, walking the trails through the mangroves and watching the short movie about DeSoto's travails after landing here in the early 1500's. Good for families.

This was just spectacular. Take your time, take drinks and snacks. Alligators along side the road, lots of birds, even a snake crossing.

Nice short boardwalk, really well maintained. There were likely alligators at the end, but I didn't spot one. Saw an absolutely stunning great blue heron and lots of turtles. Easy, easy walk for all ages. Maybe children won't love it as it's not enough bang for your buck. Much more likely to see alligators other places. It is a nice place to see the cypresses get larger. At the beginning (top) of the boardwalk the bald cypresses are underfed (soil is less nutritious), so they are much shorter, but as you move down in elevation (imperceptibly), the trees grow much taller.

We have taken the family here numerous times. We enjoy seeing all of the wildlife, such as raccoons, deer, snakes, gators, birds, reptiles, and bugs. We have never had a dull trip to the preserve and even once biked the entire property all the way up to The Lower Myakka Lake. It's a GREAT place!
