Everglades National Park For Kids

About the Everglades - Fun for Kids
Kids can have a great time exploring the Everglades with their families and friends. Take some time to look over some of the exhibits and films to be found at our different
visitor centers. Participate in any one of our regularly scheduled ranger programs. Take a stroll along one of our trails in search of some amazing wildlife.

With a little work, kids can even become an Everglades National Park Junior Ranger!

 

Help for Students
If you are looking for information to help you prepare school projects and reports or even if you just want to explore the park before you visit, you can do so here, by Learning About the Everglades!

Did You Know?

River of Grass

The Everglades is not the proverbial swamp many people consider it to be.  It is technically a river, flowing southwest at the slow rate of about a quarter mile per day.
