Oasis Visitor CenterBuilt in the 1960s, this building was once a private airport with a hanger and restaurant. It was rather eye-catching from the road due to the passenger plane mounted to its roof as decoration. Later it was a service station. The building was eventually purchased by the National Park Service in the 1980s to be used as a visitor center. Physical Address 52105 Tamiami Trail EastOchopee, FL 34141 Mailing Address 33100 Tamiami Trail EastOchopee, FL 34141 If driving from Miami, visitors will find it fastest to find US-41 / Tamiami Trail northbound (called SW 8th Street in Miami itself) and proceed northbound (techinically, you are travelling west) all the way out. From the Keys or Homestead, Florida, we recommend taking 997 Krome Avenue, North to reach US-41. Once you leave the edge of Miami (at the intersection of US-41 / 997) you will drive about 40 miles. Oasis Visitor Center is located on the right, on the north side of US-41.
