In Short – This 83-acre park showcases a living museum of plants from around the world, including native flowers, towering bamboo and exotic water lilies. Seven hundred of the 2,600 known palm-tree species shade the meandering path through the Montgomery Palmetum, one of the largest and most diverse in the world. The park also features a sanctuary for migratory birds, a fern glade, tropical fruit trees and nearly a dozen lakes.

Enjoy slowly and on the right day

We love this place.Have visited three times in the past 6 years.The admission is getting a bit steep for the value factor to be good,but if the weather isn't too HOT and you have the right attitude and time to spend-go for it.The place is beyond beautiful and unique with a capital U.If you like giant Iguanas,you'll be in paradise too.
- Pros: BEAUTY, Variety, PEACE and quiet
- Cons: cost, weather
