Exhibits in the Dante Fascell Visitor Center.

The Dante Fascell Visitor Center offers a number of indoor options. A museum highlights the park's four ecosystems with exhibits, sound and video. The Gallery highlights the works of contemporary local artists inspired by the park's resources. Several films highlight various aspects of the park, and Biscayne National Park: A Spectrum of Life is an excellent introduction. Kids and adults will find plenty to discover in the Touch Table, and kids can get started on earning a Junior Ranger badge. Ask about additional indoor educational opportunities at the information desk.

manatees  

Did You Know?
Manatees are aquatic relatives of elephants. They have thick gray skin, coarse hairs, big toenails on their flippers, and lips that can rip and tear plants. Ask a Biscayne National Park ranger for suggestions on good places to look for these gentle giants.
