The Jupiter River Center is a fun destination for locals or tourists.The River Center offers its guests amazing facilities with live aquatic tanks, interactive exhibits, and a touch tank that represents the ecosystem of the Loxahatchee River, from freshwater cypress swamps to sea grass estuaries to marine bionetworks.
“The center provides a fun, educational opportunity for school children, adults, visitors, and long-time residents to learn about Florida’s first National Wild and Scenic River.” And their mission “is to foster a sense of environmental stewardship for the Loxahatchee River’s diverse watershed with quality education programs, exhibits and meaningful events.”
Every Saturday from 2pm-3pm the Jupiter River Center staff hosts a tour through the facility with an interactive and unique touch tank exhibit, as well as to view a live feeding of the resident animals. All ages are welcomed and no RSVP is required. Admission is free to the public but donations are greatly appreciated and help the staff and animals at the River Center.
