I was hearing random gunfire while leaving but other than that the experience was nice and calm, as I would advise with any park in Florida with swamp area is bug spray. If only they would provide it that would be nice. Still very nice open area with trails

Stopped in for first visit a week ago; Walked the Cedar Swamp boardwalk into to the magic cedar kingdom. The strong winds and the filtered light kept a constantly changing dance of the swaying cedars. Saw two young artists putting paint on canvas to capture the scene.
Spent time afterwards watching Ospreys floating and circling over the windswept(20kts) landscape. Magnificent Great Blue Heron among the reeds. Enjoyed the virtual air boat tour in the Visitor Center. Worth a return visit!

My family owns a house in Boca Raton. It has become tradition for us to visit the wildlife refuge every year during the Christmas holidays. It's a great park showing the landscape and scenery of the Everglades. The refuge is clean and full of great animals and plants.

This place is a great place to see a few gators while walking around. There are also armadillos and we saw a bobcat once. Be sure to go down to the wooden dock and see if Big George is around!

Had a lovely stroll through this amazing wetlands. From the Spanish moss draping nearly every tree to the wild orchids that attached themselves to the tree's bark, I enjoyed my walk. At the end of the park is an area you can park your car and walk up the berm. It's an easy slope and once up there, the everglades abound. While we didn't see much wildlife, we did get a glimpse of a very fat raccoon and a few large birds.
I'd go back. Entry was free but it appears they probably charge on the weekends.

Excellent place to go with family, the entrance fee is $5 per car. You can book in the Visitor Center a free trip to the wild reserve and the tour takes around 1 hour 30 minutes. Recomended 1000%

Great place to go bird-watching and look at the huge lubber grasshoppers.there is endless bike riding if you are able to ride over crushed gravel. Canoe and kayak rental is available. Do be a good sport, pay the $5 entrance fee on the honor system if you arrive after the gate is closed. We need to give our parks all the help we can

Saw an alligator in the small tower in the Marsh trail and farther down we saw two bunny's. The people at the visitor center we're very nice and helpful. It costs $10 per vehicle no matter how many people and $25 for a yearly pass. They only take cash so have some on you. I recommend you asking for their binoculars before the visitor center closes at 4:00. Close to the park there's Bedner's Farm Fresh Market that is also an enjoyable place. Ate a delicious Jumbo turkey leg for $8. There is a little clothes shop that is very easy to see, they sell really nice things I recommend you go there. Overall everything was a wonderful experience definitely worth it.

Excellent wildlife preserve. Be prepared to walk a lot. Most natural setting I have encountered so far in Florida. Few amenities is the reason I rated 3 stars. But for natural setting it's 5.

It was nice, peaceful. Didn't see many animals but it was a nice walk. The wasp nests (there are so many!) need to be cleaned out from where people walk by. And just watch your head, for low hanging spiders (some of which are beautiful!).

Love it! Such a peaceful place. The view of the everglades is beautiful and the wildlife is very active. We've been coming here for like 18 year (god that makes me feel old lol). Whenever we have family from out of state this is always on our itinerary.

What an amazing place to visit. The nature center inside is beautifully set up. The trails are beautifully maintained and the staff is extremely knowledgeable. The energy fee is only $5 and you can spend and entire day and evening being one with nature. From butterflies to alligators to bobcat sightings... it was thrilling.

Always catch fish when we go. It's our favorite spot too go fresh water fishing! The museum is kinda small but really interesting. Our 4 year old was kept busy for an hour, and loved the "airboat ride"

I love this place, I've been coming here for years. The visitors center has some fun activities but the main draw is the boardwalk through the swamp. It's the right just past the entrance.

This park has several wildlife observation areas that are covered and overlook the Everglades. There is parking adjacent to these areas. It was perfect for showing my elderly parents an alligator in the wild and for bird watching. There are walking trails and a dock where we saw a fisherman bring in a huge "mud fish" (as they called it). There is also a visitor's center with a board walk that meanders thru a Cypress swamp. It is beautiful with trees draped in Spanish Moss. Be sure to bring bug spray.

Love this area. They have a boardwalk path through a cypress forest that is absolutely amazing. There are other nature trails where you can go walk and observe nature, including a viewing tower. They have kayak and canoe trips, or you can go around on your bicycle.
