Journey through the Everglades
Journey through the Everglades

Sounds, smells, steamy mist, and the unique light of the Everglades greets visitors as they study the site map of this unique outdoors-in area, and decide which route to take through the Everglades. Here children climb in, around, through and under the twisted arms of an ancient mangrove. Whimsical pods are filled with curiosities to explore. The ceiling, decorated with hundreds of stars, artistically morphs into a huge mural of an Everglades horizon. The sounds of mosquitoes buzzing, alligators roaring and fish jumping are overheard in the distance. Birds caw and cackle in the trees; the lights dim every hour for a “nighttime show.”

As children find their way through the Everglades they are:
• stimulating gross-motor development
• learning to use physical activity as a catalyst to problem solving
• using clues to aid memory and recall
• becoming familiar with some of the sights and smells that can be found in the Everglades
• identifying basic concepts associated with the night/day cycle
