Boyd Hill Nature Preserve

"This was a nice outing. They have great walking and biking trails and with the side trails you can easily do 5 miles. A gift shop, restrooms, kids playground, adequate parking, an aviary, water stations along the route, healthy snacks in the gift shop like strawberries, celery, peaches, and other cold snacks. They definitely need more magnets with the preserve on it as I collect magnets. We saw some wildlife, a baby alligator, raccoon, squirrels and an owl that was hooting at one of the caged owls. A worker there said that owl has been coming for a few seasons to probably "mate" and "talk" to "

"This preserve is genuinely incredible. Right in the middle of St. Pete you've got a gorgeous mosaic of the nearly all the habitats Florida can offer (though I'm biased towards the uplands!) and they're clearly all lovingly and intelligently maintained. The city and preserve staff have done a wonderful thing here."

"Boyd Hills Raptor fest was fabulous! But in general it’s an awesome park to walk around and be apart of nature. Looking at the birds of prey they have rescued is quite thrilling. Their playground of the kids was fun as well. There is a small fee to walk the trails but it is worth it! It’s a great spot to see baby alligators and bird watch. Boyd Hill also has a TON of programs year round to get involved in. Overall it was a great experience. We will go back to visit the Nature Center as well."
