Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden: Enjoy the Outdoors

Escape from the city to an afternoon of paradise at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables. Since 1938 this 83 acre garden has been welcoming the public to its luscious lawns and carefully curated plant collection. There are several exhibits throughout the grounds, and one favorite is the new indoor butterfly conservatory and outdoor garden. This exhibit features a small glass window where you can patiently watch butterflies emerge from their cocoons. If you're planning a day trip, you can pack your own lunch and enjoy it on a secluded bench, or stop in one of their two cafes. Admission is $25, with the fee helping to maintain the lovely property. It includes a one hour tram tour, which is a recommended way to familiarize yourself with the garden. Plan to spend several hours here, and don’t forget your camera, as most every view is beautiful.
