At Everglades National Park, encounter wildlife like alligators, turtles, butterflies, and dozens of beautiful birds in the globally renowned mix of habitats that make up this unique ecosystem.  Enjoy special ranger-led programs including wildlife spotting during the Anhinga Amble at 10:30am or relaxed educational talks during the 1:30pm Glades Glimpse.

At Biscayne National Park, explore crystal clear waters and experience nature up close in this mostly aquatic park.  Get ready to get wet during free Paddling Mini-Lessons at 10am and 2pm where Park Rangers will show you how to kayak, canoe, or paddleboard followed by a short ranger-led program.  The Island Boat Tour also departs at 10am and 1:30pm, giving visitors the chance to explore Biscayne Bay and the iconic Boca Chita Key.

In addition to the special routes, the entire weekend will feature displays at the Speedway from both Everglades and Biscayne National Parks, NPCA, and Florida National Parks Association.  Park Rangers will be present to educate fans about the wildlife and habitats found in the parks.  Interactive displays will include touch tables and giveaways.  Also, look for appearances by the NPCA mascot, Teddy.
