Loved this place. It's huge, and there are tons of areas you can just walk around and explore. It can get a little confusing though. To get to the main abandoned WW2 factory, just type "6th st" into your GPS once you're at the wildlife refugee. It will take you straight to the ruins. You can see them from the street, and there is a large sign there as well.

Also, make sure to go down Starr Ranch road... the end of the road is absolutely gorgeous, and there is a really cool kayak and boat launch, and hiking trail.

There are SEVERAL buildings you can explore, hiking trails, etc. I could spend weeks here and not see everything.

Oh yeah, to get to the bathrooms, take the road to the left as soon as you enter the wildlife refugee gate, you will see bathrooms on left side. I'm not sure if the visitor center has them, as no one was there when I went. Highly recommend. The ruins alone are worth it.

I was really impressed with this place! It has nice hiking areas, and a 9-mile auto tour you can drive and enjoy from your car. We saw a wild pig with her 5 baby piglets, alligators, and tons of aquatic birds! It has nice bathrooms at both the main headquarters, and the bobcat trail. It is free which makes it even better! My only wish is that they would put some gravel on the trails for people who want to push strollers. The grass is impossible to push a stroller on, and it's hard to see the wildlife poop you might step on. I think those improvements would make it even more wonderful. I appreciate the hard work that goes into keeping this place running.
