Really clean and kids friendly. We had a good experience. No fees to pay, just park and walk around. Got to see a few small alligators and 2 large turtles including a hawk.
Please is easy to find and seemed very peaceful.

Looked up this place while vacationing in Orlando, FL. It's free and very nice. We went in November, and they were setting up all the lights for Christmas. I'm sure it is pretty at night. You will see a lot of native plants to Florida as well as wildlife. We saw egrets and cranes and other birds as well. There is a butterfly 🦋 garden as you walk into the information center to your right. They have an area where couples can get married, which is so romantic. We had a nice afternoon walking through the gardens.

The Florida Botanical Gardens has taken a leap forward with its newly opened children's area, making it an even more family-friendly destination. The kids' section is thoughtfully designed, offering a delightful mix of educational and recreational activities that will captivate young minds. It's an excellent addition to the Gardens' diverse attractions.

For nature enthusiasts, the Gardens' bird watching opportunities are a real treat. With a variety of species to observe, it's a birdwatcher's paradise. You can also spot turtles and alligators in the serene water features, adding an element of excitement to your visit.

The Gardens offer ample parking space, ensuring a hassle-free experience, and the overall cleanliness is impressive. It's a must-visit for a day of natural beauty, education, and family fun.

A great outdoor space to bring your kids. Most of the children's garden was under construction, which was a bummer, but they still had the butterfly garden with musical instruments open.

We also walked the village. They had people working/volunteering in some of the buildings and they were all very helpful and had lots of interesting information to share.

After walking the gardens and village, we went inside to view the art gallery.

We got to do all of this for free! Which was awesome!

Great garden. Goes on forever. Hard to know where to pull. Bad signage from the road. No fee to enter. Many sights to see. Many areas to walk. Many shady areas. Convenient toilets. Already decorating for Christmas. Parking was close and free. Constructing new areas.

This place is stunning! The paths are well-maintained, and there's a massive variety of plant life (native and not) to look at. It's a good walk, too! Bathrooms are available toward the center. Part of it is under construction, and I'll be sure to come back next year to see what it is. Highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful! There is some construction going on that will be fun for kids when done. Well kept and so many places to explore, it connects to the arts building and heritage village as well, this is a great day trip for all ages! I didn’t get to go on the wetlands trail but that means I get to go back and explore more!

Very tranquil place. Nice walking paths, very pretty flowers and such. Free is always an awesome thing too ! Bathrooms and some new things coming soon for kids. Just wish the maps they had weren't all faded and cracked. Besides that we enjoyed walking around the gardens.
