AMAZING! Our experience was related to a kayaking tour (2 hours) launched from the Mound House through Estero Bay. We were guided by Yvette and Marina through the mangroves seeing beautiful wildlife that Yvette explained expertly. The House is also a TREMENDOUS exhibit; a must see for everyone!

Brought my 6 year old and 8 year old Kayaking at Mound house. It was alot of fun but not quiet what I expected. The kayaking is in the canal along side the mangroves. You don't actually kayak through the mangroves. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about local birds, animals and sealife. He shared many interesting facts. We did see a few dolphins at one point and different birds.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

This is a historic museum in fort Myers Beach Florida. You can take a tour of the house. They also have a tour of the underground. They also have kayak tours. This is a large mound of sea shells that was deposited by early Indians. Very interesting place.

I have two Native American framed pictures Purchased in Colorado. I would like to donate to a Native Americam museum. Do you take such things or can use in a fundraiser?

Are the Mound House grounds still open from sunrise to sunset and Where is pedestrian gates located?

Jeannette Turgeon | Sep 15, 2021

Hello Jeannette, The grounds are open from sunrise to sunset, 7 days a week. Our pedestrian gates are located to the right of the vehicle gates near our parking lot, and at the end of Connecticut street. The vehicle gates close at 4:30pm, and the pedestrian gates close at posted sunset times.

We had hoped to visit the Mound House grounds after hours and found the gate at the end of Connecticut to be locked. A few years ago we were able to walk the grounds at any time so what has changed? Perhaps vandalism etc.?

Hello Jeannette, We are sorry that you were unable to walk the grounds. The grounds are only open from sunrise to sunset, 7 days a week. We hope that you will be able to come back and visit us soon!

Are there any trails to walk without guided tours?
