Family Fun Fest is a free public program held on the second Sunday of every month from December through April. Each month, a different aspect of the park's diverse resources is highlighted at five hands-on activity stations located around the Dante Fascell Visitor Center. Participants receive a "passport" that they get punched as they complete each station. Those who get all five punches earn a specially-designed button to remember their day.
Family Fun Fest is made possible through funding provided by the Captain Bob Lewis Billfish Challenge and the Bobby Duryea Memorial Fund at the South Florida National Parks Trust, with additional support from the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, local businesses and organizations, and a host of dedicated volunteers.
Family Fun Fest 2013 The next season of Biscayne National Park's award-winning Family Fun Fest starts December 9, 2012. It will be chock-full of brand new activities, as well as the return of some all-time classics. The event's signature zany themes, creative activities and colorful buttons will all be back - and its all FREE! You can subscribe to our Family Friendly e-mail list by sending a message here with the words "Family Friendly List" in the subject line. The theme for the 2012-2013 season will look at all kinds of stars: the famous kind, the sea kind, the movie kind, and even the "real" kind (with our nearest star, the Sun) with a season-long theme of Starpower!
