It was a bit small and the children were disappointed that it wasn’t more hands on. It’s a place that you can bring the children to once.

Really cool place to visit. It’s only $6 a person. Employees were wonderful and they had a bunch of animals we got to learn about. Good for kids, adults or anyone!

The Sandoway Discovery Center made a perfect afternoon activity for us and our grandsons while spending the day around Delray Beach. The place has its own parking lot which made it easy to get in. The outside grounds alone are interesting to observe. The inside requires a mere $6 fee. Even though the converted Evans House isn't huge, there are enough exhibits and information to tire your mind out. The staff went out of their way to show things and answer questions. Their seashell collection is one of the best. The place features the ecosystem of Lower Florida complete with live specimens. We also liked the room that featured quirky optical illusions.

Great little discovery center right across from the beach in DelRay Beach. For only $6 admission fee, you can explore the entire historic home room by room and view many fish aquariums and animal exhibits from fish to sea rays and sharks to alligators, reptiles, an owl, possum and macaw. Touch and hold small seastars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. A must see if you have kids and are visiting DelRay Beach FL.

Yes. They can touch some things but it is view only in some areas. Nurse Shark tank and feedings are fun
