There are five visitor centers located in the park. Each area of the park has its own attractions, and features a different set of plant and animal life.
All visitor centers are wheelchair accessible.
Books, film, postcards, and insect repellent may be purchased in the bookstore. No trails start from this visitor center. The Long Pine Key Campground and Picnic Area is six miles further west, and is surrounded by an abundance of hiking trails. The new center replaces one destroyed in 1992's Hurricane Andrew. It employs state of the art technology to orient visitors to the Park and the issues confronting the South Florida ecosystem.
