Manatee Park is not your average nature park. Along with three manatee-viewing decks on the Orange River, the park has special polarized filters and a hydrophone that allows visitors to listen to the manatees "talking" to each other; a cow and her calf are said to be particularly verbose. The park also has educational exhibits, a canoe launch, an interpretive center, and also doubles as a manatee rescue and release facility, where formerly injured rehabilitated manatees are cared for before being returned to their homes in the ocean.
