South Florida Attractions
The list of things to do in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties seems endless. South Florida's tropical environment makes it an excellent spot for zoos and botanical gardens, while museums offer a respite from the sizzling South Florida sun. The following list of South Florida museums, gardens, zoos, and other attractions are ones that we have personally visited since this site was started.

Oasis Visitor Center sits within Big Cypress National Preserve in Ochopee. The main draw here is the boardwalk/deck, with warnings of alligators - we saw none on this visit, but it wasn't really "alligator season". There are also a few picnic tables and a seriously overgrown butterfly garden. The building is staffed by the National Parks Service with people ready to answer any questions you might have about the Preserve. There are a few exhibits in the building as well. It's not exactly a destination, but an informative stop on your way through Big Cypress.
Oasis Visitor Center is open from 9AM to 4:30PM 364 days a year (closed on Christmas). (Oasis Visitor Center continued)
