Miami-Dade County Parks visitor and nature centers are the best outlets for exploration and hands-on experiences with South Florida’s flora and fauna.
What is a Visitor and Nature Center?
A visitor and nature center is a complex of wild animal and plant sanctuaries, and nature trails with added picnic facilities established in a beautiful natural area. Nature centers offer guided tours and other educational activities for both adults and young ones.
The focus of a visitor and nature center is to inspire a passion for nature and historical resources by providing programs and activities that create meaningful experiences and lead to a better understanding of and connection to the natural world. This is accomplished through informative and well designed exhibits, audio-visual presentations, maps, brochures and additional informative materials.
