Skradin waterfall
Considered the major attraction of the park. It is a pleasant cascade of lakes and waterfalls which is close to the both main entrances.
It's a beautiful island with a Franciscan monastery on it. The monastery is a place of pilgrimage.

Remains of Roman amphitheatre and some other excavations.
In the lower lake at the Skradinski buk. Despite being a designated swimming area, it doesn't have any special facilities, such as changing booths, and the access to the water isn't quite safe. Otherwise, that's a wonderful experience. Swimming only is allowed at this designated place. Swimming is not allowed between 1 October and 31 May. This is only posted once you get to the ticket booth, where they claim it's due to high water, and advise to leave swimming gear and towels in the car. However, once you get down to where the swimming takes place, you can actually still go swimming, even though it's forbidden. Staff do not care.

2.5 hours, Krka monastery (30 min) and view from the boat of Trošenj and Nečven fortresses.
The location is very touristy. Quality of food and service is rather moderate, but the setting is magnificent: at the site of an old mill next to a small waterfall which used to feed the mill.
