Top 5 Botanical Gardens in Florida

1510 Avenue of the Stars, Orlando, FL 32836, United States

“Though I'm a cast member now, I can still say without bias that world showcase is my favorite area in any theme park. It is escapism at its best. There's almost always a festival happening. There are rides. There is food and beverage. And at night when everything is lit up it's super beautiful. For me it is what makes Disney a magical place to visit over and over again.”

95 Triplet Lake Dr, Casselberry, FL 32707, United States

“This is the closest park to my house, it is located near the Casselberry city hall. Very clean, pleasant and well-kept park. Very often all sorts of events are held, and especially during the Christmas holidays the park is decorated incredibly beautifully.”

401 N Tamiami Trail, Osprey, FL 34229, United States

“Such a wonderful place! Excellent cafe too!”

1800 Weedon Dr NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33702, United States

“A great Native American History center set within the 3,200 acres of Weedon Island Preserve. Native Americans lived on Weedon island 1,000 to 1,800 years ago. The exhibit center is nicely laid out to help visitors understand ancient and modern people and how the two shaped each other. The Native American sites in the preserve were excavated by a St Petersburg archaeological firm starting in 1992 and continued for several years. One notable find is a boat made from a hollowed-out log, that was discovered preserved in mud. A fascinating place to visit.”

142 S Ocean Blvd, Delray Beach, FL 33483, United States

“Cute , fun and friendly space for kids to be hands on and see a small variety of animals! Shark room was under refurbishing which was a negative but the feeding was fun to watch. Petting the rays, turtle and snake was fun!”

25 Riverside Dr, Ormond Beach, FL 32176, United States

“Lydia was an amazing tour guide. The Rockefeller and Flagler history was amazing. The location on the river has great views. Free parking in the lot next door. Street parking is also available. The decor of the home was amazing. You can only see half of the second floor and the third floor if you are on the tour. The tour is free but a donation is customary. The house is owned by the city.”

253 Barcelona Rd, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, United States

“We visited with friends on a Saturday afternoon. It was lovely and quiet and well worth the visit. It isn’t flashy, but it is a lovely tranquil space with lush vegetation and interesting artwork by Ann Norton. Her workshop is interesting and educational.”

4013 Douglas Rd, Miami, FL 33133, United States

“I recently visited Kampong Botanical Gardens, and I must say, it's a fantastic place! The lush greenery and vibrant blooms make it a photographer's paradise, with endless opportunities for stunning photos. It's also an ideal spot for a relaxing picnic amidst the natural beauty. What sets Kampong Botanical Gardens apart is its status as a living estate. The rich biodiversity and carefully curated plant collections provide a unique opportunity to connect with nature and learn about various plant species. It's both educational and enjoyable, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and families alike. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!”

303 N Laura St, Jacksonville, FL 32202, United States

“This is a library, art museum, conference center, courtyard, theater! Jacksonville did a great job with this library, you don't even feel like you're downtown, until you leave. There's a teen room, a children's theater, a courtyard that people have weddings in, etc. It's much more than a library. And they have free events there often.”

205 Whitehead St, Key West, FL 33040, United States

“Beautiful restored house built in 1850s’. A lot of personal artifacts to show that period of time (those furnitures belong to Geiger family show at the top floor) . A lot of Audubon’s works hanging on the wall, the bird room is unique and …”

5400 NE St James Dr, Port St. Lucie, FL 34983, United States

“New Year's Day Hike in the Oxbow Preserve in the St. James area of Port St Lucie The Oxbow Preserve is a 225-acre site along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. The preserve offers 3 ½ miles of hiking trails and is where young and old alike can discover the mysterious and hidden life of the forest and river. The trails are flat and easy to walk on. We saw an armadillo and gopher tortoises burrows, a few squirrels. There were probably lots of birds but we were there to walk. The preserve offers a rare glimpse of “the real Florida” - in the canopy of the floodplain forest, the scrub and pine flatwoods and in the primordial swamps and wetlands. The center offers guided hikes and educational programs for families, children and adults. Though it was closed the day we went, our purpose was hiking.”
