In early February, 2013, we visited the Everglades National Park. Our first stop was at the Ernest Coe Visitor Center near Homestead, Florida. The visitor center has a display area, theater, gift shop and helpful rangers and volunteers. The movie, as usual, was an excellent depiction of the park.
Outside the east end of the visitor center is a man-made pond created during construction to raise the building foundations above the surrounding area. A second building with park offices is behind the visitor center.
Just beyond the visitor center is the fee collection area. The fee is $10 per vehicle and is good for seven consecutive days.
