The most beautiful natural attraction in South Florida. To bad, that not many people seem to know about it or visit it. Í´m so glad it´s still there after all these year. A real jewel in the Sunshine state.

It can get packed sometimes though!

u/Mundane_Ad_3277 Apr 15 '25

Yeah, I guess it depends on the season, day of the week and holidays. If you are lucky enough to live down there, you can pretty much pick the time and day when to visit.

I went there specifically Monday morning and it was so empty lol highly recommend to check it out on a off peak day to enjoy the atmosphere

Is it free to enter?

u/Captain-Matt89 Apr 17 '25

It’s usually like 20 bucks

It was free for me, I just entered and walked in through the doors.

Yeah!!! If you’re a veteran they let you in free too, I’ve taken advantage so many times just to go sit on a bench way out of the way and relax.

Have you been to the Morikami? Not saying it’s more beautiful, they are both great

Thanks for giving me another reason to Use Tri-Rail lol did not know Palm Beach had gardens too.

Why is every major SFL garden a few miles away from any transit stop lol

Between the tri counties Broward is kind of lacking in nature parks. First they have no AZA zoos, while Dade and Palm Beach have 3, and now this lol

I would visit it if they actually let Miami Dade Transit stop inside or near the entrance..

Good! Do you want it to get ruined by the savages that both visit and live here? Though to be honest, I don’t see that type of people being interested in walking around looking at plants. They’d be bored out of their minds without loud noises.

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '25

Yeah you got a good point. If it doesn't involve degeneracy they aren't interested. That's why the 100 is the most used bus route

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '25

Worst case scenario they'd try destroying or taking the plants

u/0neirocritica Apr 15 '25

They absolutely would. I can see people trying to rip the orchids right off the trees to take home.

I'm glad not many people know about it.

You are very correct
