We went there for darksky seeing. It 's really good during the winter of Florida for watching stars and galaxy.
A very nice Visitor Center with multiple outdoor and indoor exhibits - is good for children and adults alike. Short outside Boardwalk overlooking Mangrove swamp is very nice but we did not see any wildlife. The staff was super helpful and was able to provide a lot of information. Gift shop, restrooms and Handicap parking. Free.
Excellent welcome center with knowledgeable and engaged staff. Learned so much about this to enjoy and protect the park.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff who can both inform and suggest to you things to do. The building has nice displays and informative movies. The location has a small gift shop, bathrooms, and a nice boardwalk which, I'm told, you can see manatees and other wildlife quite frequently during the dry season.
Super nice park staff, offered lots of Intel while we waited out the rain. Manatee spot near by offers both wildlife and full sky views of the stars at night. Not too busy and the have a store for souvenir things but not much in the way of food or beverages, so think about bringing along some stuff if you are here for a while.
I've been here a couple of times. It is a great place when on vacation. Always see lots of gators, birds and other wuldlife. The volunteer guides are knowledgeable and anxious to help.
Engaging nature center, and I got some great advice about where to go and what to see! Well worth it stop on the old Alligator Alley. The Park itself is captivating, positively teeming with life.
In many travel websites this gets overshadowed by Everglades NP but definitely make this a stop on your trip. There are options for everyone - from short beautiful boardwalks to intrepid trails into the backcountry and so much to see from a Canoe and kayak as well. Stop by or call one of the visitor centers, they're knowledgeable and will help you maximize your time while visiting.
