Reviews
"We thoroughly enjoyed or visit at the Shark Valley Observation Tower which gives you a birds eye view of the Everglades National Park. The Observation tower is located at about midway on the 15-mile Shark Valley loop trail and is only accessible by hiking, biking or tram. The top of the tower is accessible to all via a concrete ramp. The tower is free to access with your park pass but there is a fee for the 2 hour tram ride out and back. Tram tickets can be purchased from the Visitor's Center. Be sure to bring your camera and binoculars. A must see if you are in the area."
"Every year, I go with my 4th grade students! It is a must-see for everyone. If you want to really learn about the beauty and importance of our Everglades, then take the tram tour. The views from the observation tower are so worth it. Plus, the rangers are amazing."
"Such a cool place to overlook the Everglades! We took the two hour guided tram ride out to the observation tower and saw so much wildlife on the way. Not to mention all the information the guides knew! If you’re coming to the park, you have to get to the tower either by bike, a long walk, or the tram."
"The everglades are really a fascinating place. Shark valley delivers with a lot of birds, gators and CROCODILES!!! Yes, there are 3 CROCS in the park and managed to see one through the team tour (although not super common). Visited after Thanksgiving, the park was still abnormally flooded. Did the team tour. Next time I'll run the trail. Have fun!"
