Bring bug spray. The mosquitoes are everywhere! The inside was pretty cool, we didn't go on a trail due to the bugs.

The site is perfect but the welcome is cold. Obviously the person in charge of welcoming visitors did not really want to inform "foreign tourists".

It is recommended to enter the place, courtesy and an explanation of where you should enter and what to watch out for.

One of The kindest and informative park rangers I’ve ever met inside and loads of information to get you started on your trip into the Everglades.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hello. Yes, you are required to purchase an entrance pass to the park even when you enter after the entrance booth has closed. You have to purchase it online at recreation.gov. and keep a screenshot of it on your phone or print it out incase you are asked to show it.

Yes, it is a nice peaceful ride but watch out for cars and pickup trucks that sometimes speed down the road without paying much attention to hikers or bikes

Where is the best place to see the sky at night? And best photo spots?

The only place I visited at night was Shark Valley. But I'd imagine the best place to view the stars would be anywhere down the main park road, heading South towards flamingo! It's very desolate down that stretch of road. I'm sure it would be amazing.

Can we see a video here?

Tim Eagle | Sep 16, 2021

Here's the video I shot, just copy and paste the link: https://youtu.be/cxErUdyDAf0

I can stay there overnight

Claudia Rodriguez | Sep 16, 2020

Yes, in tent or motorhome but I understand you have to ask for a permit.

Is the lack of birds and animals in Royal Palm due to boas or just wrong seasonal period

Jose Hayes | Sep 17, 2019
Rebecca Pienn | Sep 17, 2019

The best time to see wildlife is January through March. That's when the water levels are the lowest, and the wildlife is concentrated around the remaining water.

Admission is free?

Francisco Brito | Sep 17, 2019
Rebecca Pienn | Sep 17, 2019

I believe it's $25 per car, and it's good for 7 days at any one of the park entrances.
