Wildlife and Nature Around Loxahatchee
Three areas, each with a different way to meet South Florida’s animals and open land.
Loxahatchee is short on museums and long on wildlife. A morning at Lion Country Safari, an afternoon walk around the marsh impoundments at the refuge, or a slow drive down the lettered roads of Loxahatchee Groves will tell you more about this part of Florida than any downtown could. Bring water, sun protection and binoculars, and plan around the heat: early and late in the day are best for animals and for people.
Each area below lists the places we checked are operating. Online-bookable tours are scarce out here, so where an area has none, use the trip-quote link and a travel specialist can help you plan the day.
