“The NEST at Robinson Preserve is one of the most creative nature play areas we've visited.
While it's clearly designed with children in mind, especially adventurous kids ages four and up, we discovered that adults can have just as much fun.
As senior citizens, we couldn't resist climbing the spiral staircase to the observation room, exploring the canopy walk, and making our way through the suspended rope tunnels.
It brought out the kid in us, while also offering beautiful views of the surrounding preserve.
The entire structure is thoughtfully designed, blending adventure with nature rather than competing with it.
The supporting facilities are excellent as well.
We appreciated the spotless restrooms near the parking lot, the convenient water fountain with a bottle refill station, and the attractive elevated boardwalk that connects everything and makes the walk to The NEST part of the experience.
Whether you're visiting with children, grandchildren, or simply enjoy exploring unique places yourself, The NEST is a fantastic stop.
It's rare to find a playground that genuinely entertains every generation, but this one succeeds.
Highly recommended!”
“So happy to have used this as my venue for my wedding! From start to finish they were so helpful. Great communication. Beautiful venue. Lizzie was always there to help and to answer any questions I had. I got so many compliments from guests. Highly recommend.”
“Really like staying here. Nice hotel, helpful staff, convenient to SRQ airport and area shopping. Rooms are always clean. HVAC is great. Small bar/restaurant with limited menu items but enough for a small dinner.”
“Went with the family and it was a great time for the kids and the adults! You’ve got bowling, arcade games, pool tables, the bar, honestly pretty good food (wasn’t expecting that) and the staff were really nice! Def a great place to have fun with friends and family.”
“Gabby did an incredible job bringing my vision to life. For our engagement party, I wanted a peacock theme and completely transformed the venue into something no one had ever done there before especially for an event with 1,000 guests.
Gabby was so easy to work with and always found a way to make things happen. She understood exactly what I wanted, offered creative ideas, and shared what she already had available. If she didn’t have something, she connected us with the right people who did. She was extremely flexible throughout the entire process.
Everyone absolutely loved the decor, and after the event, so many people asked for her contact information. I highly recommend Gabby, she’s amazing, talented, and incredibly helpful!”
