Fodor's Expert Review Shark Valley Visitor Center
Everglades National Park
Visitor Center
If Flamingo feels too far away, Shark Valley can provide an idea of the Everglades through educational displays, a park video, and informational brochures. Books and other goods, such as hats, sunscreen, insect repellent, and postcards are available, along with restrooms. Park rangers are also available, ready for your questions. Provided the valley isn't flooded, this is where you'll find the two-hour tram tour and Observation Tower.
