IGFA Birthday Parties

 NEW!  CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN BIRTHDAY PARTY!  

 

WHY GO FISHING AROUND TO PLAN YOUR NEXT BIRTHDAY PARTY?

 

Birthdays are to celebrate the coming of a new age and another year to come. At IGFA, a birthday party is that and more!

 

CATCH THE FUN AT THE IGFA FISHING HALL OF FAME & MUSEUM

 

While celebrating a birthday at the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum, children will either learn the safety of fishing and practice catch and release while trying to catch a fish themselves; or they will learn the importance of wetlands, especially the Everglades, and while walking through the wetlands they will identify birds, reptiles, fish, insects and plants. Parties teach children conservation either through fishing or environmental biology. They will also get hooked on our interactive galleries, fishing simulators, and marina.
