 September, 2024 Shell Factory & Nature Park to permanently close  After 86 years of serving the community as a family-friendly, entertainment des- tination, the Shell Factory & Nature Park is announcing its plans to close. The park’s final days of operation will be the weekends of Sept. 20-22 and Sept. 27-29 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., after which all operations will close to the public. During this time, the Nature Park and Gift Shop will be open and the park’s on- site restaurants, the Southern Grill and Tommy’s Outdoor Café, will serve a limit- ed menu while supplies last. The Fun Park will be closed, effective immediately. Established in North Fort Myers in 1938, the 18-acre, old-Florida roadside attrac- tion has entertained multiple generations with amusement-style rides, arcade games, miniature golf, 50,000 square feet of gift shops, a 4.5-acre nature park with over 400 animals, birds, reptiles and fish, and much more. Despite efforts to find a buyer to take over the park’s expansive operations, long-time owner Pam Cronin, who has worked tirelessly to preserve the property and its proud traditions for the past 27 years, has made the difficult decision to close the Shell Factory and sell the property.
