Everglades National Park Entrance Passes Now Available Online

Everglades National Park entrance passes are available at Smart Destinations.

Another park and a new vendor are selling entrance passes online as the National Park Service tests a variety of electronic services as part of a pilot program. Annual and seven-day passes to Everglades National Park are being sold in advance at Smart Destinations at no additional cost.

Once purchased, the electronic entrance pass can be printed or saved on a mobile device for use at the park on the date of purchase or at a specified future date. Park staff will validate the entrance pass using a QR code. Specific instructions on how to use the electronic entrance pass are provided at the time of purchase. The pass is non-transferable, non-refundable, non-replaceable if lost or stolen, and void if altered or reproduced.

“By having the ability to purchase entrance passes at home or on their smart phone in advance of their visit, visitors have an even more convenient way to plan their trip and enter the park,” Superintendent Pedro Ramos said in a release.

Everglades joins Acadia National Park, Colorado National Monument, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park with online entrance pass sales. Earlier this year, Acadia became the first park to offer entrance passes online at Your Pass Now. Colorado National Monument and Theodore Roosevelt have since been added to the site. Alternately, Sequoia, Kings Canyon and San Francisco Maritime passes can be purchased using the Viply mobile app.

The annual entrance pass fee for Everglades National Park is $40. Seven-day entrance passes are $20 for a private vehicle, $15 for a motorcycle, and $8 for an individual. Persons under age 16 are admitted free. More information about passes, fees and the new e-passes can be found at the park’s website.

Other passes are available for purchase at park entrance stations. They include the America the Beautiful – the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Annual, Senior, Access, and Military passes. This year, with the Every Kid in a Park Pass, all fourth-grade students and their families get in free to national parks and other federal lands and waters.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
