We stayed in Marathon Florida and did a day trip to the Everglades. We are so glad we did! We drove and hiked and saw so many birds and animals. We hung out with an Alligator and Vultures. I can't wait to go back, 1 day was not enough time.

Helpful staff, you can arrange tours with the park guides. Informative exhibits. Maps are always a good thing to have before entering the park.

Helpful staff, good exhibits. A nice way to experience the Everglades National Park. Recommend the nearby Anhinga Trail to see alligators and water birds up close.

This Visitors Center is located immediately prior to entering the Everglades National Park. There are lots of exhibits including a great videos covering alligators. There's also a gift shop, restrooms, and helpful staff and maps. It's worth the 20 min stop to get a feel of the Nat'l Park prior to entering it ($10).

This is the best place to get an overview of the park and learn what to look for and where to go. The staff is superb and you can use the facilities and buy at the gift shop, get maps, look at the exhibits, and get you Nat Park stamp.

nice exhibits, clean restrooms and it is outside of the Everglades National Park, so you can stop without paying the entrance fee.
