Family Fun Fest offers fun and educational activities for all ages.
 

Family Fun Fest is a free public program held on the second Sunday of every month from January through May. 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 Boat Center Yamaha Billfish Challenge, with additional support from the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, local businesses and organizations, and a host of dedicated volunteers.

Pioneer home on Elliott Key  

Did You Know?
Elliott Key and other islands in Biscayne National Park were settled under the Homestead Act of 1862. This law gave free land to settlers willing to live on and farm a piece of land for five years. The main crops planted here were pineapples and key limes.
