Survival is never easy, especially if you're hungry. On Sunday, December 8 from 1- 4 pm, Biscayne National Park will kick off the 14th season of the award-winning Family Fun Fest with "The Hungry Games," a look at some of the amazing ways the park's animals gather their food. New for the 2013-2014 season will be Family Fun Fest Junior, special theme-related activities for toddlers and parents to complete together. The free event takes place at the park's Dante Fascell Visitor Center, 9 miles east of Homestead. "The Hungry Games"will feature five hands-on and engaging activity stations located around the visitor center. Stations include:
Participants receive a passport to get stamped at each activity station, and those who complete all five activities (or two activities for Family Fun Fest Junior participants) will earn a specially-designed button to remember the day. Earning all five buttons in a season earns a Family Fun Fest Fanatic award in April. Upcoming Family Fun Fests this season include:
Family Fun Fest is made possible through the donations of generous visitors and the Bobby Duryea Fund at the South Florida National Parks Trust, with additional support from the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserves and a host of dedicated volunteers. The Dante Fascell Visitor Center is located at 9700 SW 328 Street, nine miles east of Homestead, Florida. Call 305-230-7275, extension 0.
