Packed up my bike today and went to West Palm Beach and also into Palm Beach. Located at 6000 N. Flagler Drive, West Palm Beach, FL 33407. Open daily 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and plenty of free parking.
This place is an FPL Eco-Discovery Center. There is a nice gift shop inside so make sure you go in to buy something to help support the manatees or you can just make a donation in a jar by the welcome desk.
There is a Manatee Cam on the website which showed manatees in the outside waters. When I got there unfortunately I didn't get to see any. However, I saw a large school of zebra fish and some rather large various fish from the observation deck.
There is a giant pool which leads form the Florida Power & Light Company's warm water outflows from their plant. These outflows help keep the manatees warm during the winter months. This is a very family friendly place with a large learning center inside with exhibits, and observation deck and a couple of nice fish tanks.
