Plan a National Park themed birthday party they’ll remember forever with a unique Everglades birthday party at Everglades Holiday Park. Climb aboard an airboat for an *hour-long Everglades airboat tour created just for you and your guests through the amazing wetlands, stopping only to visit for a moment with the animals. American alligators, tropical fish, and snakes are just a few of the wildlife encounters you’re likely to experience on your fully guided Everglades boat tours. After your airboat excursion, get ready for another thrill with a live alligator presentation featuring the Gator Boys Alligator Rescue team. Birthday celebrations are always a blast at Everglades Holiday Park and your special guy or girl will delight in spending their day at the park!
WHY CHOOSE A NATIONAL PARK THEME?
Our National Parks captures the idea of adventure and national heritage and a National Parks Theme will turn your party into an unforgettable adventure. Our American National Parks are beautiful and full of activities and fun in the outdoors. Kids and grown-ups alike will love a party full of local history, amazing animals, and plenty of nature surrounding them. There’s no park in the country as unique as the Florida Everglades so come get lost in a world of beauty.
FOOD AND SNACKS: KEEPING THE NATIONAL PARK VIBE
SETTING UP YOUR FOOD TABLE
Creating a National Parks-themed table will put the finishing touches on your party. Your guests will love seeing how you give your meal a National Park vibe. Name your dishes after famous parks around the country and decorate your table in park ranger greens and browns. The favorite part of any birthday table? The birthday cake! Create a National Park cake and the possibilities are endless: trees, rocks, or decorative wildlife. Get as creative as you want with your nature decor and surprise your guests of all ages.
FUN SNACKS FOR AN OUTDOOR ADVENTURE
It’s easy to make your treats match a day full of adventurous moments! A healthy trail mix is great for connecting to active hiking and exploring. Provide hot dogs and burgers like each park’s carnivores enjoy! Include all your chosen must-haves for a national park-themed birthday.
Want to make your snacks delicious and educational? Gummy worms, goldfish, banana chips, and graham cracker bears are great for connecting to the theme. Each detail will thrill your littlest party-goers. Don’t get any ideas, though. Your hot dogs and gummy worms are strictly for humans; we’ve decided that the national parks’ wildlife have their own food chain to stick with!
HOME OF ANIMAL PLANET’S GATOR BOYS
Does your son or daughter love Animal Planet’s hit reality show, Gator Boys? If they do, there’s no better place to hold their next Everglades birthday party than Everglades Holiday Park. We are the home of the Gator Boys themselves, with cast members on hand to deliver regular performances in our own Gator Pit. Fast-paced, fun, and educational, our Gator shows are a real crowd-pleaser for those on an Everglades excursion.

When you’re a kid, every birthday is special. Mom and Dad, maybe you’ve decided to make this year even more fun by booking your son or daughter’s Everglades birthday party at Everglades Holiday Park. Great choice! Complete packages are available that include a catered lunch, admission to all our attractions, and full access to our expansive grounds. Best of all, we are conveniently just outside Fort Lauderdale, an easy drive for parents throughout Broward County, Miami, and Palm Beach looking for an Everglades tour. Kids’ birthday parties don’t have to be complicated to be memorable – leave the details to us for an experience in nature they’ll remember for a lifetime.
DIVE INTO NATURE: ACTIVITIES AND GAMES
FUN AND EDUCATIONAL GAMES FOR ALL AGES
There are great opportunities for playing games at your party, and you won’t even need Etsy to plan it all out! Here is some inspiration for your kids’ games:
Play I Spy and watch out for things(both living and non-living) to describe
Play Follow the Leader with your friends
Post an Instagram story within the same timeframe and use plenty of tags, to see who receives the most interaction with their story by the end of the party.
There are creative ideas for the adults, as well. Mix up your usual variety of games with some new ones! Bring some cornhole boards from home to throw bags during your party or, picture this, ending your birthday celebration with an eco-friendly (and cleaned-up!) pinata hung from one of our shorter trees. We very much appreciate you not leaving any decor behind when your adventure is over.
A WALK THROUGH THE ‘FOREST’
Take your party-goers on a mini guided hike through Everglades Holiday Park. Kids can learn about the differences between some of our most amazing trees, especially a grove of Banyans and our towering palms. Kids will love hearing about the fruits that come from Banyan trees (figs) and palms (coconuts) and exploring the Everglades forest. They can also learn about how our national parks protect our country’s forests and ecosystems, encouraging us all to make our national park visits look like we never visited at all. Maybe one of our smallest visitors is even a future park ranger!
