A visit to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is truly a full-day experience and well worth it! This garden is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed, offering something for everyone from plant lovers to families with young children.

It departs every hour on the hour and takes you throughout the entire garden while knowledgeable guides point out unique plants, wildlife, and hidden gems along the way.... read more

I visited Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden on Old Cutler Road in Coral Gables a while back, and it felt like stepping into a very calm, green world just outside the city. The place is big—bigger than I expected—so walking around takes time. The paths are easy to follow, but you definitely end up doing a lot of walking under the sun, with patches of shade that help when it gets hot. There are different sections with tropical plants, tall palms, and areas that feel a bit like a rainforest, especially near the water features.... read more

This botanical garden was a highlight of our trip. The tour, which is a MUST, is in a minibus, with a driver who knows just about everything you could imagine about the garden itself. He was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The minibus ride is a little snug but definitely worth it since you’ll get to see everything in the garden to decide what you may want to visit on foot. We went in February and the grounds were stunning. We will definitely be back.
