Fun Birthday Parties For Kids At Everglades Holiday Park

What is it about birthdays and kids that make us smile? Of course, it's every parent's goal to make their child as happy as can be on their special day. As Floridians, we're lucky to enjoy some of the most spectacular temperatures in the nation, and that makes planning an outdoor birthday celebration easier than ever. But after a few parties at the beach and an amusement park or two, what else is there to do that's creative when planning fun birthday parties for kids? Luckily, Everglades Holiday Park is an untapped resource, right here in Fort Lauderdale. Here's how a day at the park is the perfect locale for the most memorable and fun birthday parties for kids.

Wildlife Encounters They'll Treasure Forever

Children of all ages delight in a trip to the zoo, and seeing animals up close is an experience of a lifetime. But did you know that the Florida Everglades is home to over 3,000 different types of amazing wildlife? With reptiles, mammals and more, Everglades wildlife is spectacular- and none of them are in cages. The other exciting part of a trip to the park is how you get to visit with the animals. Group airboat tours leave the docks every twenty minutes, journeying deep into remote sections of the tropical wetlands. Don't worry mom, because airboat tours at Everglades Holiday Park are completely safe, and each hour-long tour is narrated by a skilled gladesmen who shares stories, fun facts and more with the kids.

Nature At Its Finest at Everglades Holiday Park

Unlike the zoo, where visitors are required to stay behind the gate, Everglades Holiday Park is all natural, and completely open. Kids delight in watching alligators emerge next to the boat, or amazing tropical snakes slithering on shore. With unique vegetation and incredible animals, gliding across a river of grass at top speeds easily fits the bill for fun birthday parties for kids. Nature at its finest, Everglades Holiday Park is South Florida's best kept secret, and an easy, convenient way for kids and parents to enjoy a day of relaxing entertainment. Plus, with gorgeous grounds, the park is the ideal locale for having cake and opening presents. Our pavilion is available to rent and makes a fantastic meeting place for lunch after a few hours of fun.

Exciting and Fun Birthday Parties for Kids Featuring Live Gator Shows

Every airboat tour at Everglades Holiday Park is followed by a complementary live alligator presentation in our world famous "Gator Pit". Kids and adults enjoy learning about Florida's most iconic resident, the American alligator and the show is non-stop action from start to finish. What's more, all of our shows are performed by the Gator Boys from Animal Planet's hit reality show. Super stars to many, this group of talented guys and girls showcases another side of gators few rarely see. Watch the kids marvel at the daring tricks, stunts and entertaining show the team puts on, and then snap pictures as they get to hold a real live baby alligator!

Why struggle trying to imagine something different this year for a birthday celebration when Everglades Holiday Park is right around the corner. For fun birthday parties for kids, nothing beats an exciting airboat ride, live gator show and happy atmosphere created by Florida's most exciting natural attraction- the Everglades.
