Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

The gardens are well maintained and offer a nice variety of plants, but I think I expected a bit more in terms of wow factor. That said, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which added a nice touch to the visit. If you enjoy a peaceful stroll surrounded by nature, it’s worth a visit, but it might not blow you away.

Beautiful and full of wildlife. Nice winter day out plan. Enjoyed it with the kids. The butterfly 🦋 exhibit is a must. We even spotted a crocodile in one of the big lagoons

This place is gorgeous! We took advantage of the reciprocal admission program because we have a membership with a botanical garden in Ohio (definitely check if you're eligible, we've saved quite a bit on garden admissions when we travel). But the $25 a person admission would have been worth it. The garden is huge and there's so many lovely serene spots that we could have easily spent half a day here. Don't miss the wonderful misty rainforest!

Magical but some parts were a too little dark and the paths very uneven. Could be a little more ADA friendly. Overall a fun and fantastical evening.

It's such a cool spot, especially in late October! The weather was perfect—nice and breezy with some clouds, making it great for a walk. The place is filled with these massive trees, colorful plants, and peaceful lakes. The mangroves were really something, giving off this calm, hidden vibe. It’s the kind of place where you just wander around, soak in the nature, and feel totally relaxed. Whether you’re into plants or just want to enjoy a chill day outside, it’s a great spot to explore!
