I live in Miami and have been here numerous times. I recently bought an annual pass. I love the new butterfly area. Its a nice place to have a picnic.

Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden is by far my favorite place in Miami. It is the #1 attraction I recommend for visitors and never fails to make them happy. The new butterfly exhibit is spectacular, the grounds are beautiful and serene, and the cafe is a good spot for a cold tropical iced tea.

Really enjoyed our visit. The place is beautiful and the tram tour is great. The guide did seem a little tired but he was vey knowledgeable and his tour was interesting. The butterfly house was great too.....loads of butterflies!

It is one of the most beautiful place I have visited in Miami. It is really amazing. Very quite with a lot of incredible trees, flowers, butterflies and nature in general.

The Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden offers a nice choice to see plants, trees, butterflies, fish and others from around the world.

If I lived in area would consider a membership. Plan to spend the whole day to make use of the steep (but not atypical for this kind of place) admission fee

This is the most spectacular place I have ever visited. At times, I suffered from sensory overload from all the beauty that surrounded us. I can recommend visiting in April, although I would suggest maybe not going during special events, when crowds can be a bit overwhelming. On the other hand, we benefitted from some terrific food and even better... More

First time visitors 2 and older will be enchanted, entertained, and educated, particularly if they can avoid our summer months, June through September. Start your introduction with the 45-minute tram ride, which gives a good overview protected from sun and drizzle. Our 2- and 4-year-old grandchildren saw enough birds, turtles, alligatorless ponds, and tropical plants to hold their attention the... More
