Add Review/Comment

The historic Nike Hercules missile base located within Everglades National Park has been opened to the public for the first time since it was turned over to the park in 1979. The park is offering guided tours of one of the best preserved relics of the Cold War in Florida. This significant historical site is physically the best overall example of the nation's missile defense system close to Cuba and remains virtually the same as it was when official use of the site was terminated in 1979. The tours are free, but park entrance fees apply. In order to join the tour, please reserve a space by signing up at the park's Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center or by calling 305-242-7700. Reservations will be taken up to 30 minutes before each tour but it is recommended to make reservations far in advance as these tours fill up rather quickly. The Ernest Coe Visitor Center is located 9 miles southwest of Homestead on State Road 9336. Tours will be by car caravan. Participants must arrive in the park by 1:30pm and be prepared to drive 14 miles round trip from the visitor center.
