The 10 Best Visitor Centers in Florida, United States

February 11, 2022 Mollie Coke

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

This visitors center was loaded with maps, brochures and just about anything you could need for visiting St. Pete Beach and the surrounding area. We were staying at a resort a few blocks south of the center and Charlie was extremely helpful, giving us some great suggestions as well as 2 spot on restaurant recommendations. I enjoyed his local incite to my many questions as well as our general conversation. The Chamber of Commerce is lucky to have him.

Royal Palm Visitor Center

The original center of the National Park with an abundance of trees and nature.

Reviewed By Kizambo - Portland, United States

Small visitor center with restrooms and exceptional accessible walking trail. Short trail but give yourself at least an hour to gawk at the creatures. You will see alligators, plenty of fish, large birds and maybe some turtles. Watch yourself along the beginning of the pathway - gators hang out just on the left of the "barrier". Watch out for the sun here - limited shade along the trail. Bring a visor and some sunscreen!
