Fantastic morning and lunch at Fairchild albeit I think having to wear a mask outdoors when you can easily social distance is a bit weird but it is what it is...... Hope it changes soon. Lots of plants flowering and the butterfly garden was super. Lovely weather and gorgeous vistas.…

In arranging my family trip to Miami I had come across Fairchild botanical gardens and wanted to go. I initially thought about a day pass but it was only $75 more to purchase a family and friends pass for an entire year (we will come back). The membership process was easy and when we arrived they were able to look up my profile and get our family in the gardens (took less than 5 minutes). The gardens are AWESOME! This was definitely worth the $$. The butterfly enclosure was wonderfully relaxing and the grounds are expertly cared for. It took us about 2-3 hours to see everything and I would definitely go back…

This is an enchanting collection of tropical plants all within an area that is an oasis of peace and beauty in South Miami. Easy walking trails help you meander throughout the gardens. You walk past orchids, palms, Lakes and hundreds of tropical plants. The landscaping and interpretive signs make for a pleasant and educational experience. We also visited the Butterfly exhibit, which is housed in a large netted area. Incredible... don't miss this. A tram allows for easy access if you have a hard time walking a couple miles. Don't miss this... they have discounts for Military, seniors and first responders....but this is SO worth the admission price of $15-$25.…

They're open 10 AM to 4 PM daily. Tickets can be purchased online. My wife and I just walked in and bought tickets at the gift shop. It cost us $25 each. We did a self walking tour, checking out the butterfly exhibit, the tropical fruit conservatory and the rare plant conservatory. There are 83 acres here. Crocodiles are in the water. We walked over to where they might be and saw only one, it was resting on the bank. It was just sunning itself and wasn't a threat. Service animals are allowed. We saw one woman with a dog on a leash. People were wearing masks. This place wasn't crowded when we were here on a weekday early afternoon. Pleasant weather. Temperature in the mid-70s. There's a cafe here, but we didn't stop in. We spent almost two hours here. Well worth the price of admission. …

Beautiful gardens. So many different orchids and palms. Butterfly house was wonderful and some macaws put on a wonderful show for us. Bromeliades were stunning.
