Everglades National Park is a 1.5-million-acre park that preserves southern Florida's wetlands. The Everglades area contains sawgrass marshes, coastal mangroves, and flatwoods habitats and is home a large variety of wildlife. Some rare and endangered species call the preserve home, including the American crocodile, the manatee, and the rarely spotted Florida panther.

Popular activities include walking the Anhinga Trail, climbing the Shark Valley observation tower, and taking boat or kayak tours. The busiest time of year to visit the park is spring, but that is because temperatures are so favorable, especially compared to the rest of the country. A visit in April may mean the park is busy, but the weather should be perfect.
