Shark Valley Tram Tours

entry is by carloads not ppl still. and once your in there isnt any commercialization. be warned that there isnt much to eat so you may want to pack a snack. there is a vending machine and soda machine at the entry. the walk is long but most people just hop on the free tram to the end with the observatory. going up the observatory is easy its a slanted pave and the view is great - i got some cool photos of the grass river from there. be warned you can see gators 2 feet from the road! you just haveto be quiet and not bother them :) more

I'm not an "Avid" bike rider..... But for years I have been lugging my bike over to Everglades National Park aka SHARK VALLEY. After the drive on Krome you reach Shark Valley. There is a fee for all vehicles to enter $10... but the annual pass is only $25... so if you go 3 times in the year you have gotten your monies worth. Being bottles of water, insect repellent....and a bag lunch. At the 1/2 point of the 16 mile trail, there is an observation tower that overlooks the everglades. It is a gorgeous view! Great for taking pics, relaxing, and eating your lunch (except the signs say no food b/c of the animals). THe ride is best during certain times of the year. Jan - April you will find a lot of alligators and their babies visible from the trail... It is a relaxing day! I would not recommend this for young children, 16 miles is a long ride for them to peddle and or to sit in a carriage seat! leave them at home and go with your friends or significant other. more
