This is the entrance to the Everglades National Park. There is camping, biking, trails, canoeing, houseboat rentals and relaxation in this huge park. We had a 3 day blast!!!!

Educational, exhilarating, and exciting family fun!Beautifully organized Everglades National Park visitor center with a plethora of educational materials, maps, activities and animal models! The Rangers are friendly and super helpful. This is another great spot to obtain a badge for the junior ranger program for your youngsters. Just help them complete a booklet of activities which are fun and educational, and return to the Ranger to obtain your badge.This is an exceptional national Park visitor Center!

The Everglades are a spectacular place to visit. Unfortunately due to Covid, the visitors center was closed. Unlike the other national parks in South Florida, not even the park store was open. Big bummer. Oh well.

We visited Ernest F Coe and yet to visit other places in the park. Its very interesting to see all the alligators and birds. A very good place to walk around if you have kids and relax. In my opinion, its very small compared to other state parks in other states we have been to. I guess our expectations were higher when we saw online as wild life sanctuary. Other than this, the rangers and staff in visitor center are very friendly and will suggest you whats best to do given your time. I would recommend this place if you are staying in Miami for more than three days.

Very nice area to walk ad see wildlife including crocodiles. Visitor center has a theater with an 18 minute film worth watching. Gift shop is small. Staff are all very informative. Parking is easy and its the first stop entering the park prior to the fees entrance. Went all the way to Flamingo at the end of the 28 miles....nice drive traffic flows easily. Lots to stop and see at each posted sign. Lots of kayaks on the waters and overall a VERY INTERESTING place!

I just love that this is part of our back yard. This is a great adventure for the family perfect to unplug!! They have camping spots, trails, canoeing, boat ramps... and soo much fun!! Great for a one day or weekend adventure or a long one. Very affordable.

THIS IS THE ONLY PLACEwhere alligators and crocodiles cohabit. The EVERGLADES is a national park that is fun to visit.BTW they boast 28 different kinds of serpents and emphasize that a recently found python, the size of a boat, is not an endemic species and disrupts the natural balance of the region. A python this size can even eat a...crocodile!

The Everglades is the place to go to if you want to alligators, fish, and birds! The visitors center is very informative, and the rangers were very helpful. This is a different type of National Park, but beautiful in its own regard. I highly recommend that you stop at the Everglades, if you are in southern FL.

The Everglades are amazing and a fantastic way to spend the day!

The Everglades are just sooooo amazing and breathtaking. Mother nature can be so wonderful. You can see soo many animals and plantes while walking or kayaking through the everglades. You can learn so much about it ifyoutake a tour. As longasyou stay on the walking trail it‘s prettysave and you can enjoy everything!

That place is amazing. So much to see, so many different landscapes, animals and vegetation! You absolutely have to stop to every trail identified on the map you get when you enter the park. Very beautiful place!

The indoor area is open, but half of the building with the displays is closed off due to covid. The park ranger inside was very helpful and was willing to answer our questions.

Beautiful place. This is a great location to meet with your friends and start your Everglades adventure.

Very well designed visitor center. They have a beautiful porch on the back with some rocking chairs that was very relaxing. I could have sat out there all evening. The park ranger working was a very nice young lady that offered us very helpful information. They have a few displays that I would recommend reading for additional information about the park. This is a huge park, with lots to do. If you really want to do it all, plan on staying a few days.

A must stop before visiting places in Everglades. Enthusiastic and helpful staff. Nice Information Center with many artifact and a pond at the back. You can explore complete Everglades here. Quite informative and interesting. Gift shop and clean restrooms.

Unique eco-system with unique habitat that does require some guided interpretation. The visitor center is well equipped for this purpose.The Junior Ranger program is not very strict here (unlike some of the more famous parks). Therefore highly recommended for the kids.

Great start to your Everglades Adventure! Friendly staff, get your official passport stamp, visit the patio, and pick up a few souvenirs.

The visitor center is open but you can’t see see the displays because of covid. There is a park ranger you can ask questions and a little gift shop.

Nice place, lots of information. It gives you a good overview where to start.It’s for free.

Underwater vegetation in its prime form due to the high quality of water...

Very limited services. Gift shop open. Help desk open. Get all your maps here.

Nice Visitor Center at the Everglades. Take your time for information. Friendly staff and after passing the entrance station... The first crocodile.

This is one of the eastern entry points to the Everglades National Park if you are coming via highway 9336. All the relevant information regarding the park is available here. You can get a map of the entire area and can plan out your trip with the help of the wonderful staff. There is a restroom here. Also, remember that there is no gas stations after this point, so remember to refuel before this place in case you are low in fuel.

Very nice ranger and sales person in the store.

Good staff and very helpful.

Very nice with lots of information. You should consider adding kiosks to pay for the park entry. It could save on the long vehicle lines, vehicle emissions from sitting cars, etc. The center itself is beautiful with local arts, historical data, and a really great gift shop.

My first time in the Everglades and Ive lived in Florida for years. It was beautiful and the info boards gave alot of insight into the nature around the area.

Great, informative Visitor Center! It delivered everything we expected and more. We wanted an introduction to what we would see later in the day at the Everglades. Later on as we moved through our day at the park, we felt like experts as we noticed different types of animals, plants, geographic formations, and more. Would highly recommend a stop here at the start of your trip to Everglades National Park.

I learned so much about the Everglades! You must see the movie. The display is interesting.

Very helpful rangers and a cool tile map of the everglades on the floor - should stop to see!

Enjoyed our visit here. Educational and attractive. The staff was very nice and helpful, too..

Absolutely beautiful place in the Everglades the guide who gave us information was very helpful and kind. This park has to be a must in your visit.

I live in Miami and still I love the Everglades very peaceful. The visiting center is good way to start get your maps and hit the road. Be adventurous hit those hiking and biking trails you wont regret it.

Was pleasant and peaceful with lots of information boards but felt like it missed any personal interaction

The Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center is open 365 days a year. It offers educational displays, orientation films, and informational brochures. Special collections by local artists are often displayed. Books, film, postcards, and insect repellent may be purchased in the adjoining bookstore. A series of popular walking trails begin only a short drive from the visitor center. Restrooms are available.

Amazing place, you can enjoy this tour and see the cocos in their habitat, the pictures that you can take are amazing, the view and the water reflect is perfect. You can do it with your family ir friends, I recommend you to go early to avoid a lot of people and dont wait so long.

Excellent information center lots of care and very friendly stuff

Amazing experience the service awesome Fabian !! And the Dj he is in another level absolute come back

Friendly staff and great exhibits on the park.

Excellent place for a day out.

Great family fun, first time there didnt know it existed. Great if you have kids, they loved the museum like aspect took pictures with the displays.

Many parking places and very clean outside. You walk through a way to get to the building of the visiting center. To get to the building you pass a pond where there is a perhaps unique sign which tells you not to get any closer to the water as there are alligators, snakes and other wildlife. However before you enter the visitor center you can have a full view of the pound (with sitting possibilities) and might hope to get a glimpse of a gator. The facilities inside the visiting center are a bit old, they would need some modernization but the information is nice and the staff is incredible friendly and helpful.

This center has a lot of great information you need for the Everglades NPS, staff is nice and helpful, restrooms are super clean and you might get lucky to see some amazing birds flying around the center.

Friendly staffs and informative.My kids have a motivation to find birds and alligators after listening their explanations.We had a lot of fun there!Thanks!

Um I only took this pic because I used to have that car. But yeah i had a blast with my friends! 30 bucks a car to go into the park, lots of places to hike/walk boat whatever. Id go back

I came here with a friend when we were visiting Miami.It was a nice experience and it was interesting seeing the alligators and learning more about them.I can see how some people would find it a little boring if the alligators dont come out to play but you cannot blame them if they do not. They do try and tempt them out with treats but we only saw a few gators. One gator did come right up to the boat and them proceeded to follow us so we had to make a quick get away.It was a short experience but nonetheless I am glad that I done it.

Can stop here for restroom and map of the drive through Everglades.

First stop before you go in to the Everglades, specially if you would like to be educated and learn about the Everglades. Everytime we go as a family we learn something new. Look real close to the picture!

Great place to see alligators and birds

Nathan Fox makes this center come alive for both kids and adults! Knowledgeable and caring, amazing guide

Fab. Staff were so informative. Nice relaxing drive round,with view points you could walk round,we seen about a dozen gators, some really close up. Beautiful

Not much to see. Maybe more to see when its open

Great video and we saw a gator right outside the back door. Perfect jump off point for the Everglades, rangers were really knowledgeable.

Had a very nice experience and could get great clicks of various birds that I spotted. Highly recommend Anhinga trail.

Nice rest stop with a gift shop and information center.

A snack visitor center with a gift shop and very knowledgeable staff. We enjoyed all of their recommendations.

Staff were very attentive, bathrooms nice, lots to read in the centre

We went there wanting to camp. Everyone seem to be different vendors and major lack of communication. It was hard to find information on your own website was not very helpful. We did figure it out and camped at flamingo in the walk in tent area for 6 days. Bring your umbrellas!! There is no shade which makes for hot unbearable days to just hang out by camp. We did do some cool things and overall had a great time.

Love to visit our National Parks.

Friendly rangers and great place to visit

Some of the best ranger programs I have experienced in the numerous national parks I have visited!!This is such an amazing park!! Only place in the world you can find an ecosystem such as this!

I will strongly recommend people to visit this place, the money really woth the experience. I really enjoy the wild aspects of this place.

One of my favorite places to visit. I have been here many times as a youth and as an adult. My brother used to work at this park and there is so much to see. Alligators are a very exciting thing to see here. Dont get too close but enjoy them. Occasionally youll see a American crocodile which is another one of my favorites. Lots of fish, insects, and birds to see. Many invasive species that the biologists work very hard to apprehend. This includes those pesky pythons, occasionally the park will have roundups. This is a good place to visit and pick up what you left behind!

Great spot for any info you need on exploring Everglades National Park. Volunteers are very pleasant and helpful and the place is full of little tidbits about the animals and ecosystem of the Everglades.

Information stop on your trip to the Everglades National Park. Watch the movie if you can. Rangers were great with the kids there in their class trip. Great visitors center.

Super educational and soooo much to see and do and explore, we didn’t get to go all the way around the entire park due to being a time crunch but definitely worth a stop in! We saw several gators laying around in their natural habitats and a lot of fish and interesting birds. Sooo green and amazing! Even saw a rattle snake which was pretty awesome! Hope to come back soon to visit the rest of the park!

A great place to start your adventures to the Everglades. The video and museum are great introductions and the staff will help you find activities at Royal Palm and other visitor centers throughout the park to experience!

Amazing place. Always a pleasure to visit.

Very kindly, friendly and knowledgeable staff and volunteers, ready to answer any questions you have before youvisit the Everglades. They help us with questions about mosquitos, appropriate clothing and what to see in this warm days. The center is well performed and friendly to children. Nice work! Many thanks and greetings from Slovakia!

Good facility. Beautiful view on the deck.

Great information about our amazing Everglades. We always stop in when we visit the park.

This is a great educational and info centwr just before the pay gate to get inside the park, so it is free. The staff are helpful and informative. There is a large pond with a comfortable deck where you can often see fish, turtles, and alligators.

I was visiting for the first time and looking for specific information about the park. The young lady who helped me was very nice and polite. very knowledgeable as well. Several maps and 10 minutes later i had all the information I needed. Thank you.

The center is well maintained and full of information and exhibits to exploreWe saw the alligator in garden and a lot of fish in the waterGreat place to learn about the park and animals living in..Definitely recommend to visit

Helpful staff and great intro to the park.

So great! Learned a lot. The boat ride was fantastic.

We received alot of needed information as well as tips of other highlights. We were told about the crocodiles & manatees further south. Definitely worth going there!

Great place to start at the Everglades National Park! The park rangers can tell you about ALOT to see and do.

Great variety of information inside. Also a good place to see alligators

Learned so much history!! A must visit for anyone who lives in and loves the state!

Worth the visit if you bring the bug spray. Amazing scenery and the alligators are out in full effect so watch out. I recommend a visit.

Clean restrooms despite some road construction around the visitors center

Please visit and do not leave any footprints.

You definitely need to stop here. It will be long before you can see another restroom.

The main visitor center for the Everglades. Very friendly staff. I suggest signing up for the “Slough Slog,” the “Canoe Guided Trail,” and the “Anhinga Amble.” They were very enjoyable side trips.

Decent entrance center to Everglades. Informative. Like most NPs, a majority of the NP staff are friendly and helpful while unfortunately, a few are stereotypical Fed employees who cant be fired and dont really care.

The park rangers are great and super informative.

Staff was friendly and informative. The person in the store told us a bout a boat trip in such color we decided to go on it ourselves.

Great place to visit before entering Everglades park to learn about the park, gain information on wildlife present within the park, etc. There is a small shop for souvenirs. It is wheel chair accessible also for this visitor center.

Fabulous introduction to the Everglades. Staff were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The displays were interactive and provided background to the park, culturally as well as environmentally.

Staff was friendly. Good place to stop so you get a general idea of where to go.

Good place to stop to take some informations about the area before going in. The Everglades park is a beauty !

I just love this place

This place is amazing. So much to see and learn. There’s a borrow pit behind it where you can sit on a rocking chair and relax while looking at tons of fish, alligators, and birds.

A must visit before going into the park. They were very helpful about what to see on each trail. Their is a short video that explains some of the details about the park. They also have a gift shop with snacks and drinks.

First stop before fee area. Buy souvenirs to support the park and don’t forget the stamp

Customer service is not really good. I asked for some information and they told me that they did not have it. It was kind of strange that I asked for the same information to a different employee 30 minutes before and he gave it to me without hesitation but forgot some details.

The trails were not long. It was just hot. You need sunscreens.

Because the visitors center came before the entry gates, we thought for a second that this national park must be free! Ha ha. But the gates are after the visitors center. Its a decent visitors center. Nothing mind-blowing. I learned a bit about alligators. The bathrooms and gift shop are decent. The park rangers were helpful in circling areas on the map that might be interesting, so you should definitely make this your first stop!

Rangers were very patient with us clueless city folk. We got lots of good advice. Definitely worth a stop on the way in.
