Free saturday tours

Every Saturday at 11 AM, we host a free tour led by our intake team. The maximum total guests for our tours is 20 people. This tour is guided, but does not include a Pelican feeding or meeting our ambassadors which are included in our Behind-the-Scenes Tours.

RSVP is required with 24 hour notice, so use the link below to sign up!

self-guided audio tours

We are open and available every day from 9 am-5 pm for self-guided tours, including an optional audio tour. During this time, you’ll be able to walk around our habitats and see the permanent pelicans bathing in their pools, the patients in care stretching their wings and practicing how to fly, and the beautiful Biscayne Bay. A self-guided tour of PHSS is ideal for bird enthusiasts and novices alike. Tours change with the seasons and even day to day, so visit often!

You’ll see several signs like this one on the left placed by different habitats in the back each having its own QR code. Each one will have different information on each habitat and the patients that might be inside. You’ll learn more info about our history, our permanent residents, some common injuries we treat and learn about our future!

If you have an iPhone or Android (newer model), simply open your camera, focus on the QR code, and you’ll get a notification with a link to open the audio file! With older Android models, you may need an app (read more about how to scan QR codes).

*You’re welcome to take pictures while visiting but please remember these are wild animals. We ask that you keep your voice low and don’t use your flash near the animals as they are in rehabilitation and scare easily.

We hope you visit soon and enjoy your time here! Please let us know what you thought about the tour and send us any feedback or questions by emailing info@pelicanharbor.org. We hope you’ll visit again soon!
