Visitors can skip the lines and purchase park
passes online with YourPassNow
Everglades National Park has partnered with digital government
services provider NIC Inc. (NASDAQ: EGOV) to offer digital entrance
passes to visitors through YourPassNow. YourPassNow adds a new
level of convenience and flexibility by enabling visitors to easily
purchase their park entrance pass online.
“By having the ability to purchase entrance passes at home or on
their smartphone in advance of their visit, visitors have an even
more convenient way to plan their trip and enter the park,” said
Pedro Ramos, superintendent of Everglades National Park. “We are
happy to be working with NIC moving forward as their program allows
the visitor to choose the dates they want to visit the park upon
purchase of the pass.”
YourPassNow allows visitors to use their personal computer or
mobile device to purchase an entrance pass online, at no additional
cost. This allows visitors the option to purchase passes in advance
to be used at a later date or to be used immediately. Since
YourPassNow’s launch in January 2016, visitors have purchased
thousands of passes using the online system.
Located on the southern tip of Florida, Everglades National Park
provides an important habitat that is home to several endangered
species such as the manatee, American crocodile, and the Florida
panther. The 1.5-million-acre wetlands welcome an average of one
million visitors each year.
About YourPassNow
Your Pass Now was developed by NIC Inc. in conjunction with the
National Park Service. YourPassNow allows visitors to national
parks the opportunity to purchase entrance passes electronically.

flexibility to park visitors. For more information, please visit
