Definitely a favorite. Great FREE place for wildlife viewing. Quiet and practically empty on the day of our last visit. This place has lots of parking and it is wheelchair accessible. No bathrooms, garbage cans are available. Kids friendly. Bring your face mask ( required) and water!

Covid safe, clear signage showing where to walk. clean area, well taken care of :) nice place to walk

Took a wonderful and peaceful early morning walk through the wetlands enjoying feelings of bliss and internal connections to the water, land, birds and all else. A wonderful place for artists and photographers as well as everyone else who appreciate nature.

What a hidden gem! Go with an open mind and water in hand. You will be surprised at what you see. It is bigger than expected. Clean, wide aisle and clear directions. Great for the whole familia.

There’s a decent amount of wildlife here, saw two gators and a bunch of different birds.

The scenery was just breathtaking. My family and I saw so many alligators and iguanas. Next time when we go there we plan on bringing our Cannon camera. I definitely recommend this place if you are trying to just get away from the weight of.

Visiting family and my mother-in-law took me here. Best day ever! We loved this day trip! Its free, has an abundance of birds, lizards, plants, gators in a truly beautiful setting. We enjoyed ourselves immensely! Dont hesitate, go!

Such a beautiful place!! Great walk with lots of wildlife!!

Beautiful and a great place to take a walk in nature without having to go out to the middle of nowhere. Its right in Delray but it feels totally isolated in the reserve. Walkway is very well maintained, flat, and easy to go at your own pace. There are plenty of benches, but bring water and sunscreen. If you go in early April the chicks are super cute and fluffy.

Pleasant walk through some old Florida, with plenty of wildlife.

Very nice and peaceful place to walk, or relax. Variety of wildlife, learning scenarios, well kept place, free, good for children and adults, limited parking, little waiting though. Restrooms available. Lot of photographers.

Nice socially distanced hike with mask required. Great way to walk livingroom free!

Great way to get fresh air andsunshine. and decompress

I wanted to see more wild life at this scenic. I could only see fishes and turtles.

This is such a wonderful wetland area to visit. Many people used to visit for morning walks/runs. My brother does bird photography and video and have done so here several times. There is a lot of bird-life, alligators, turtles, and more. Perfect place to spend the morning. It is sad that is closed.

Love Wakodahatchee. One of my favorite sites to visit back home. There’s plenty of wildlife EVERY time you visit. The only issue is that at times you have to wait in line for parking if you go anytime later in the day. The line usually doesn’t take long and it’s definitely worth it though.

One of my favorite birding trails. You can get really close without disturbing them. I havent been here in months. Here were a few shots I took on my phone today. Usually I use my DSLR, but I chose not to use it this time.

The Wakodahatchee Wetlands are a hidden gem. There is a variety of wildlife and boardwalk gives you a great up close view. There are also shade pavilions where you can sit and observe.

Off season is the best time to visit. Parking is hard to come by during season. The boardwalk is well maintained and up close and personal with the wildlife that thrives here. Each time I visit, its a different experience.Wood Storks, herons great and small, alligators, iguanas, moorhens, and more! If youre visiting Palm Beach County, this cannot be missed! Wear sunscreen and have your camera at the ready!

Very nice place to take a morning stroll on your day off. You can see different types of birds, fish, ducks, iguanas, turtles and even an alligator. This a gem in Delray Beach because it a free of charge. There are ample enough sitting places to even have a picnic. Once in awhile you’ll even see a Park Ranger that will answer all your questions about this wetland. Highly recommend for anyone living or visiting the Delray Beach area.

Walk here often and love it every time. Yesterdays temps (cold for South Florida) brought record numbers out to take photos and enjoy the brisk temps.People were from all parts of the world including Sweden, France, South America, and the US were just a few I chatted with.While the animals seemed more scarce than usual, I did get a few photos of the rascally raccoon stealing garbage

This is a great boardwalk based nature preserve which winds through a wetland area. There are lots of different birds, gators, iguanas, hares, and more. Its free to enter and park. Theres nothing but a boardwalk but its beautiful and its really accessed by the handicapped and small children.

Well kept and clean board walks. Seasonal wildlife throughout

Beautiful place, lots of wild life. Bring drinks and take lots of photos. Face mask is required when entering the park.

Family favorite . We love coming here and getting a fix if nature in South Florida. You can always spot many beautiful birds and wildlife here. We have seen rabbits, turtles and small alligators. Fairly small trail and plenty of spots to rest and catch shade if its a sunny day.

Beautiful easy walk on a well maintained boardwalk. Wildlife was amazingly abundant from the second we stepped onto the boardwalk.

This place is fun and you definitely see a lot of wildife, but there is no shade. It would be nice if there were more covered canopies.

One of the most beautiful wildlife preserve parks I’ve ever seen! Always something new to see!

Great experience. My 6 years old loved it as well as the adults. A great opportunity to see wetland wildlife in an easy setting. Wheelchair accessible. Takes about 30 minutes to walk the loop.

Wonderful lots of birds and animals beautiful boardwalk great for walking

Beautiful little space to enjoy nature and nesting birds.

Incredible a must visit for non natives like me true taste of Florida swamp/everglade-like environment. Very professionally run. Great for photographs

A magnificent place for birding. So many birds, its just an awesome place!!!

Great wetlands trail with several varieties of birds, iguanas, and a few alligators.

Awesome wetland area with easy walking dock. Get right up close to the baby storks for great photo ops! Spotted a few gators too!

Definitely my favorite place I’ve seen in boca Raton. The fact that it’s free with a nice nature surrounding, PERFECT. Good for photography!

These wetlands are incredible. Many species of animals, including birds and alligators. Theres no cost as well.

This is one of my favorite places for picture taking, my sister took me there and I couldnt believe how many birds there was in such a small area, I was hooked and started going regularly to take pictures of birds and wildlife. I think it gets a little too crowded sometimes, but there is a great variety of birds to see and get pictures of. I go there several times a year.

This is a very nice area to come and discover some of the beauty of the South Florida wetlands. Walking along the boardwalk you can view many of the bird species in their natural habitats and maybe even see an alligator or two. All in all, its a nice way to get out and enjoy nature.

Simply beautiful. My kids and I loved it. We are new to Florida and were amazed by the gators and other wildlife.

Serene and safe above the water. Alligators, nesting birds with hatchlings, turtles. LOVE the pink spoonbills. Very educational. Well cared for.

Awesome walking tour of the wetlands. Excellent variety of plants. A wide section of waterfowl. About a 60 min walk thru

Really Loved this place. You can get up close to the birds and take great pictures. Alligators too

A beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing place to take a nice walk through.

Love Palm Beach County parks. This one has many nesting birds and is a good place to take the family for a quick getaway into nature for just a bit. Green Cay is also great when open and go back and forth between these two.

Lots of wild life, birds, turtles, alligators. Place is well maintained.

Wakodahatchee is a must do in the Boynton Beach area. The park is attached to the POTW and is a constructed wetland. There is a a very nice loop boardwalk running through the wetland. It offers a great opportunity to view native (and invasive) species in Florida. Alligators, wild birds, lizards, etc. Great bird watching and photography spot. Also a restroom on-site just outside of the entrance. Been coming here for years and the kids love it!

A special place to walk and view a colorful array of water fowl, turtles and alligators, hanging out being themselves.

This is a great place to enjoy nature.wild life abounds.Well maintained

Probably the best birding spot in South Florida! You can see all the same birds as in the Everglades National Park, but in a more concentrated area. You can even see birds in the wet season that are too scattered to see at the NP. Lots of species roost here at night, so its beautiful right before sunset. There are also a bunch that nest here in the spring! If you love birds, you have to check it out.

My favorite place to go for close up shots of wildlife and young birds!

Love this place so much!!!!!! The birds are beautiful and entertaining. Nice 1 mile boardwalk trail. Spots of shade along the way.

Just a super amazing place to see wildlife, You should easily be able to see dozens of bird species in the 1 mile or so boardwalk, walk.

Relaxing and easy way to access and commune with nature. Easy boardwalk trail around wetlands with many gawking opportunities to spot alligators, osprey, egrets, herons etc while surrounding yourself with fresh air and sunshine. Great for daily walking routines!

Theres always wildlife to see here! TONS of wood storks nesting right now! Its a very accessible raised boardwalk all the way around the preserve. And its free! Limited parking and crowded during peak hours while Green Cay preserve is undergoing renovations for the next few months though!

Love this wetlands walk - so much wildlife, alligators, birds, fish, turtles and more.

One of the best parks with wild nature in the center of civilization. If youre lucky you can view gators and rare tortoises. The best time to visit is winter season. Friendly for visitors with mobility restrictions.

Great opportunity to see birds, reptiles and Gators! Only downside...turkeys who INSIST on using their phones! And really, I dont care what Suzie said about Janie. People are too often clueless. Walk is easy on boardwalk and if youre fortunate youll see some of the babies...gators and birds

Enjoyed it very much. Side note, according to my wife the ladies restrooms was pretty bad. We couldnt find anyone to tell except for a Security Guard and he was too busy on his cell phone. Other wise a wonderful place.

Really nice and quite place with lots of wildlife to enjoy. Awesome boardwalk that snakes threw out with gazebos

Hidden gem in Boca. Good amount of wildlife. Can get busy.

Nice raised walk around the area the BIG downside was the parking it was not enough for the amount of people. Public restrooms was a nice bonus. Open six am till six pm. Nice easy walk appropriate for strollers and such.

Great boardwalk with natural wildlife! We love that small park for morning walking.

A beautiful wooden boardwalk over the wetlands. We saw tons of birds, a couple Gators and a cute little marsh rabbit.

This was absolutely fascinating!! Where else can you meander and take in so much divergent nature for no cost other than the time you invest!Bring a camera and binoculars or a spotter scope. You will regret it if you dont!

Found another great walking place all up on boardwalks. About 3/4 mile.

Saw a lot of very cool wildlife, even for this native Florida girl

What an unexpected surprise, incredible number and variety of birds as well as iguanas to observe while strolling on an elevated boardwalk over wetlands. Hard to pass up especially considering that it is free!

Fun place to visit for out of towners or if you need something to do for a little while. See lots of wildlife, including a variety of birds, and a couple of alligators (sadly no turtles, but they are some there!)

Great Boardwalk beautiful wetlands tons of birds alligators nature and Wildlife

Beautiful park and free of charge, we were there right before sundown and got some awesome pics of the sunset. Didnt see any alligators :(

What a great day with kids. No dogs allowed but great for walking and watching birds. To think this was a water treatment plant.

Very beautiful, more so in the wildlife. Lots and lots of bird and people. Be sure to be there early.

A nature lovers haven hidden from most. Aside from the many photographers and their equipment along the trails, its an all around great place regardless of the reasons for visiting.

Love the outdoors and nature. Stay as natural as possible for as long as you can!

Great place to take a nature walk.

This place is amazing. Great place to see Floridas wildlife, from little lizards to big alligators, and all kinds of birds.

This is an oasis in an urbanized region. Who would think that there would be a created habitat for wildlife in southeast Florida? There is, and it is wonderful and free.

Fantastic what the water treatment plant has done with 50 acres. The myriad wildlife from the moment you walk in is fascinating. Parking was convenient. The tour took about 1 1/2 hours.

By far the best Wildlife Refuge I have ever been at. Lots of visible wildlife, benches and a wonderful boardwalk. Great for all ages.

A must visit for both locals and tourists. The variety and visibility of so many birds makes the visit so worthwhile. Alligator sightings are an added bonus. Schedule your visit to avoid peak time parking lot frustrating waits. A great couple of hours.

Excellent location for animal watching. Mainly birds but also plenty of turtles, lizards and gators. You’ll walk a boardwalk, which you should do slowly, as you keep a sharp eye out for the wild life. It’s free.

HEAVEN! I am at a crossroads in how I want to share my thoughts. Part of me wants to lie and say it was smelly or not up kept well...just to keep others away from such a peaceful and eclectic natural experience. I am invigorated now after walking 5 x around the parhs,, every time around felt new as the animal landscapes kept changing. HEAVEN

A lot of nature to see...the Storks were amazing, plus 2 alligators.

This is the third time Ive been to Wakodahatchee and there is always something to see, from Gators to Marsh Rabbits. If your a birder you wont be disappointed. I highly recommend this to people of all ages.

A great park to take a walk around and see a variety of different local wildlife. A great experience, something you see only in the Everglades but the wetlands offer the same experience. Youll see all types of birds, turtles and some gators. Great place to visit.

Such a nice walk. So relaxing, go in the morning though.

Very nice. We saw turtles, alligators, iguanas and other reptiles. All kinds of birds and their young. Just long enough but not too long for children.

It was a great day of shooting, plenty of birds nesting and in flight, Wood Storks, Cormorants, Herons of all kinds and Gators.... Awesome Time!!

A great place for the Birder! In the springtime especially, there are nests and babies everywhere! You may catch an Alligator and some Marsh Bunnies as well. Although I enjoy this place, I find that at times its more of a local hangout with alot of chitchat, but many photographers are there busy photographing the Birds.

Great place to see lots of native south Florida birds. There are wood stork nests everywhere. There is a beautiful boardwalk the goes out over the water. I usually see at least one alligator every visit too. Highly recommended for nature lovers.

One of our favorite places to visit when we come down. In the spring the birthing of the birds in the trees is phenomenal. Other times, visit just prior to dusk and watch the reserve come to life as everybody searches for a meal and gets ready for the night.

Great place, but the space is not that wide enough

West Delray Beach on Jog Rd is this Wakodahatchee Wetlands, a free attraction for your enjoyment. Theres no entrance or parking fee and its a great place to observe nature, talk a walk or nature photos and bring the family.

Best place around for birding. Just get there early, parking lot is not that big.

Wonderful walk on the boardwalks. So many birds and wild life!

A variety of active wildlife. A good bird watching location.

An amazing wetlands in a very tranquil and serene setting. Attracts a lot of photographer who are into nature.There is a long boardwalk extending into the wetlands. Great for viewing all kinds of birds, alligators, rabbits, and turtles.

First rate, beautiful area. There are a few like it in the general vicinity; great to have these relaxing, lovely places to stroll along and observe nature.

Free entrance, beautiful with lots of birds, alligators.
