The Manatee Viewing Center in Apollo Beach, Florida is a fun, free activity for families. Each winter, manatees gather in the warm waters near Tampa Electric’s Big Bend Power Station, giving visitors a rare chance to see them up close. Along the boardwalks, you may also spot tarpon, sharks, rays, and other wildlife. The center offers educational exhibits that highlight how Tampa Electric helps protect Florida’s natural habitats — all with free admission and parking. | Life with Pockets
