The Flamingo Gardens feature more than 3,000 species of plants, trees and wildlife. Families can explore the various collections and sanctuaries, or can participate in a wildlife encounter show with birds, reptiles and other species. The narrated tram tour is a great way to see and learn about the entire space, as it takes guests through the tropical rainforest, native hammock, wetland area and the natural jungle. Enjoy a snack at the onsite cafe and marketplace, too.

Check the events schedule for events like holiday light tours, visits from Santa, garden festivals, and more, like Flamingo Fest in January.
