ernest f. coe visitor center印象

Visitor center is nice and informative. Rangers were very helpful. Restrooms were clean and had a little gift shop. Limited parking space which gets full quickly.

The dioramas were well done and the exhibit was small enough to not be overwhelming. Talked to a ranger about what to do next and received a map. Very helpful. We drove a few miles further to Royal Palm Visitor Center and took a short walk (.8 mi) along the Anhinga Trail viewing numerous birds and alligators sunning themselves. We also walked through the hammock forest along the Gumbo Limbo trail which was equally short. Didn't see much of anything along this trail other than trees.

Definitely worth stopping here before or during your Everglades visit. Of all the visitor centers in ENP, this one has the most interesting and plentiful exhibits, as well as the largest gift shop.

The Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center is the first visitor center you arrive at when driving from Miami / Florida Turnpike / Highway 1 and definitely worth stopping to get your bearings for exploring the Everglades National Park and a free map. The National Park Rangers are excellent, full of knowledge and really want to help you make the most of your visit. There is no charge to visit the center, however, there is a $10 per car fee to enter the Everglades National Park.The visitor centers have limited facilities for buying food and drink, so best come prepared and make a stop in Homestead before you enter the Everlades National Park for supplies of water, food and mosquito spray (needed for the Gumbo Limbo trail).Please check-out my review for the Royal Palm Visitor Center, which is approximately four miles west of the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center and a good place to explore next. Hoping you enjoy the Everglades as much as we did, the highlight of our trip to Florida.

This is a great visitor's center. Amazingly helpful and patient rangers. Great information and videos. The $8 billion restoration project for the Everglades all came together for me after spending time in this visitor center watching the videos and soaking up all the information available there. The Everglades is a fascinating place. If you don't have a lot of time, I would highly recommend this as your stop and then hitting the Anhinga trail and the Gumbo Limbo trail a few minutes down the road. These three things will give you a great overview of the park. We drove to the end at Flamingo and did a few hikes, wished we had planned to kayak, but in the end, enjoyed the first section more than any of the park.

They must be redoing the main visitor's center. When we went, a temp visitor's center was set up in a small trailer. One small room had a map, brochures and a well meaning volunteer who unfortunately couldn't answer naturalist questions. The second small room was a gift shop. The third small room had a Discovery Channel show about the Everglades on loop. We were expecting more. By the high season, the regular visitor's center will probably be open. I bet it's nice.

This park is free which is always a bonus. 5 miles from the visitor center is a little board walk that you can see lots of birds and fish in the water. Head up River road to see dozens of gator in the wild. Careful around the banks when trying to get a picture. They are all around. If you are around the area I recommend at least a half day here, if you want add an airboat ride at Captain Jacks.

After several days of sighting birds from a distance, it was a thrill to get so close to herons, cormorants and ibis that I could see the lacy breeding plumage without binoculars. The animals aren't tame, just accustomed to people being nearby.

I would recommend stopping in and spending time at the Coe Visitor Center. It has a lot to offer as well as good information provided by park rangers. Much much better than the Flamingo center.

The Ernest F. Coe visitor center is the main and the largest visitor center of everglades NP. There are many education displays and videos. You will learn almost everything about the gators, birds and the eco system.
