Anne Kolb Nature Center
2 reviews for Anne Kolb Nature Center
The Anne Kolb Nature Center seems to be practically in my backyard and yet this was the first time there - for a wedding.
Surprisingly, it's a cute garden with a whole lot of trails and boardwalks. If you're looking for a cute and quaint place to have a wedding this should definitely be taken into consideration.
Also, tucked away towards the back is a five story tower. I strongly recommend taking your loved one and climb all the stairs (yes, get that exercise). Once you reach the top, hold each other and just enjoy the view. Word to the wise: bring a jacket, it get's cold.
I digress, since this would be my first garden wedding, I'd have to say that it reminded me of the kind you see in the movies. Sooooo cute and simplistic.
Overall, everything seemed organized. Inside where the wedding reception took place, there were large round tables set up, a huge dance floor and an area specifically designated for the buffet and open bar.
As far as I'm concerned, there were only a few issues:
1. While the gorgeous couple were giving their romantic vows, the speakers were crapping in and out. NOT COOL.
2. When walking on the boardwalk (there's really no avoiding it) be careful with the heels you choose to wear. I literally had to walk on the balls of my feet and apply no pressure to the heels, as they would go straight through the cracks. Even with this unholy method of walking, every few steps I got stuck again. Holy hell, what a damn mission it was.

A really nice natural park that hardly anyone uses and a great place to get away. They have boardwalks and trails along the intercostal and through the mangroves along with an observation tower where you can watch the planes take off from the Ft Lauderdale airport. The offer kayak and canoe rental along with a guided boat tour. The center's exhibit hall includes a site map of the park's three-mile mangrove preserve, the Living Crossroads theater which features a 10-minute video presentation, and a series of displays that portray and explain West Lake Park's mangrove ecosystem and its significance. The highlight of the exhibit hall is the 3,500-gallon aquarium. The exhibit hall also provides a rotating display monthly of nature-themed works by local artists, photographers, and crafters. It is also a popular wedding spot.
