“I'm Ashe and I'm currently 19 years old. I just wanted to tell you that when I was enrolled at Tyndall elementary school in the first or second grade, I went on a field trip to your lovely center and it completely changed my entire life. Now I'm about to get into college to start a career in zoology and it's all because of your center.”

— Ashe Davis

“Without this Center our students would not have had these chances to open their minds and spirits to nature in the most up close and spectacular ways. Just listening to their conversations sparked by these opportunities I can tell you that lives are changed. Our students are passionate about the world in which they live and for which they will, one day, be responsible. It has been a priceless time for them and one that will have far-reaching benefits for many.”

— Anna Hull, Patronis Elementary Fourth Grade Teacher

“I have four daughters, and my oldest is 19. Every time one of their classes is going to Biophilia, I am always the first to volunteer! This place is truly the best for learning about so many animals native to our area and understanding why it’s so important to take care of the planet and recycle. From snakes to rehabilitated eagles, hawks, turtles, and fish—there’s everything!”

— Torei

“This place is a hidden gem. You have to see it for yourself, but the staff is exceptional and helps in every way to make it fun for kids and educate future generations to appreciate and take care of our local habitat ...two thumbs way up!!”
