What To Expect
Flamingo Gardens
Your admission to Flamingo Gardens takes you into a 60-acre (24-hectare) wildlife sanctuary with tropical botanical gardens and a large group of Florida's native rescued critters such as alligators, eagles, otters, bear, bobcats, panthers, peacocks, and, of course, flamingos. Explore the Wray Botanical Garden’s subtropical plants and trees, which features some of the largest examples of their species in Florida. Then stroll through the Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary where more than 80 native creatures live. Watch an expert handler present a wildlife encounter show featuring the birds of prey and reptiles. You'll learn more about their lives in Florida’s habitat. Stroll through theme gardens such as the Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden, where you may glimpse species like the ruby-throated hummingbird, the South American malachite butterfly, and the very rare pink-spot sulfur butterfly. See orchids, bromeliads, and other air plants that hang among the branches in a grove of live oaks that are upwards of 200 years old. Marvel at feathered friends in the 25,000-square-foot aviary, which is home to one of America’s largest collections of wading birds. Five Everglades ecosystems are represented: coastal prairie, cypress forest, mangrove swamp, subtropical hardwood hammock, and sawgrass prairie. Caribbean flamingos parade around at Flamingo Pond, a favorite spot for visitors. The Bird of Prey Center houses owls, hawks, falcons, and golden and bald eagles. You can also tour the Wray Museum, located in the former home of the family who owned this land. Built in 1933, the residence has been restored to provide a glimpse of life in a typical South Florida country home from the 1930s. Your admission includes a tram ride with informative commentary plus exclusive access to 42 remote acres of Flamingo Gardens, with some of the last original jungle growth in South Florida. Ride through a tropical rainforest, 200-year-old live oaks, and tropical fruit groves. Then pass by the wetland area where juvenile birds born in the wildlife sanctuary are released. The tour lasts approximately 25 minutes, leaving every hour throughout the day. If you get hungry during your visit, snacks and beverages can be purchased at the marketplace and cafe on the grounds.

4.00We came here as part of a cruise excursion. It's a nice spot to visit on a hot day. Lots of shade. The flora and fauna is amazing. A nice park to spend an hour or two if taking your time to visit all of the animals, while also admiring the beautiful plants, trees and flowers.
Waste of time and money… sorry

4.00An interesting place to explore. All the animals in captivity are rescue animals. The enclosures alloqxyou to see a good view. Good information about all animals on display. Some free roaming raccoons and iguanas too. It is very hot and humid so carry water with you. Much of the site is shaded but be prepared for the sun. There is a free tram service to the more distant areas every 30 mins. We intended to get lunch. Only the snack bar seemed to exist ( I asked about a restaurant and they said this was all they had. So the website is wrong) food choice poor and very disappointing for vegetarians. My wrap was tasteless and had less than a teaspoon of hummus in it. Dreadful!
Amazing

3.00Nice place, good for walking, seeing various animal life here and there, flamingos were in one area near kids/ice cream so more about kids feeding selves and flamingos vs seeing flamingos roaming in the habitat. Not as described. Happy to have visited but description wasn't reality.
5 stars!

5.00Wow! What a blast. All the cool animals and nature on display in a way that’s respectful and clearly in the animals interest. We loved it here & can’t wait to come back! The wildlife exhibit was great seeing some of these animals up close, all the birds were incredible, and they even had a sweet black cat with no eyes hanging around. The tram ride was a treat to catch a breeze after getting hot walking around, & things like the butterfly exhibit and being able to purchase feed for the flamingos was super fun. 5 stars!
Beautiful place
