Its a wonderful experience. It isnt a zoo but a park like environment where you can feed flamingos, curlew, pheasant, duck, turtles, peacocks, visit a butterfly garden, visit rescued wildlife and enjoy a few hours away from the crazy world! Get the membership it extends admission and discounts to many other museums and attractions around the state of Florida.

I loved the wonder gardens. First time seeing flamingos and was able feed them out of my hand. Several other beautiful exotic bird species along with reptiles. Great place for an adult and wonderful place to take your children.

Great gardens and animals. Easy walk. Low prices. Fun to feed the turtles, alligators, flamingos, and birds. Gift shop has some lovely gifts. Wonderful for Christmas shopping.

The gift shop probably has something for most kids. And the path that then leads you past many animal areas and cages is again fun, especially for young kids.You can buy a variety of different foods to feed to the birds, the alligators, the turtles, etc. There are some beautiful pink flamingos that are over three feet tall that will eat out of your hand.Why not five stars? One of the people in our group said that the last time they were there, the alligator pond had about 20 gators. Today they had four.And a number of the areas were being renovated.Overall, good but not great.

Staff does not enforce their own posted signs about masks, in the middle of the pandemic. About half of the guests don’t wear masks, don’t move away from others on walkways, and crowd others who are wearing masks in an already small venue. Staff could post one-directional signs, post more signage regarding masks, and other measures but chooses to not do anything. Do not recommend, and will not return.

Good price for a couple hours of wandering around.The staff Very polite and knowledgeable. All the birds very friendly. We will definitely go back

My husband and I went last year and we loved the experience. We had a chance to feed the flamingos, alligators, turtles and other birds. I loved and will definitely go back again. The store on site has a lot of cute stuff to buy. I recommend this place, its small but in my opinion worth it!

It was an amazing experience. Loved it. The kids had a blast. Lots of things to see. New and old. It is very well done and amazing since the new management. We go once a year and there is always something new to see. I recommend anyone in the area to go and visit.

Really cool place to visit. You can feed some of the animals and browse the gift shop. Worth the trip.

Very enjoyable! Nice place to go thats reasonable. I will go here again. Nice getaway!

I LOVE this place. It is so much fun to interact with all of the animals. 10/10 I would highly recommend!

This was worth seeing just for the pink flamingos. They were located in a real pretty lagoon and it was so much fun to feed them right from your hand! The peacocks gave us a nice show as well. I was disappointed there weren’t more flowers but maybe it was the time of year. I would still recommend stopping here if you’re in the area.

This place is amazing and awesome for kids! They get a chance to feed birds, fish, flamingos and alligators for a reasonable price. Wish I could give them 10 stars for the experience and friendly staff.

Hidden little jem well maintained. So many places like this are so run down.You get to get very close to most of the animals. Definitely worth the stop. They have a nice little shop and local photography gallery as well.

My kids always enjoy this place. Its small enough you can go through it in about an hour.

Its a lovely little place for an 1 to 1,5 hr. Visit. The entrance price is reasonable and you can buy for one Dollar different food for different animals. After we are still kids in heart, we bought all 5 different once. But the flamingos is a absolutely must. That was such a need experience to hand feed the flamingos. But please keep your kids in check so that they dont hurt them. Its a really nice oldstyle Florida experience

This place is a great to spend a few hours watching the animals

Awesome inexpensive family fun. We brought the 2 kids (4yrs & 2yrs) and they had an absolute blast. From feeding alligators to flamingos and bring surrounded by peacocks this place has a good mix of both fun and educational exhibits. The souvenir ship has a good mix of fun goodies as well.

Beautiful place! So serene!

So amazing. Love all the animals and especially loved getting up close and personal with birds!!

An amazing experience you wont soon forget! Super family friendly and so much fun to feed and get so up close to all the animals.

This place is amazing. So many different types of animals to see. This place is perfect for little kids too

We had a nice time visiting this place. Many interesting plants, animals, reptiles and birds. Hurricane Irma was a little rough on the trees here and continued cleanup is evident. Only 1 restroom for a bus of women!Back here again in July. The grandchildren had a wonderful time. This is a wonderful place to spend some time.

Fun, low-key activity for the family. Bird can be purchased at the front cash for $1 get both varieties. Save your large seed for the flamingos, they will come right up to you and eat out of your hand!

Flamingos were our favorite to feed but watch out for the white ones with the long beaks. They will swarm you. We have fun and spent about 3.5 hrs there exploring and feeding the wild life

Great place to support the local economy! They should sell Right Turn Coff5!! Great place

The staff there was friendly and kind. Nice place to spend an hour and get some smiles from the birds.

What a super fun experience! The animals were all so friendly and interested but not so much that they made my kids nervous! Both of my toddlers loved helping feed the animals and had as much fun as I did!

Absolutely amazing. This is a must-see little gem. They make homes for people that cant have their animals anymore. They live off of your donations and your admission price. And theyre always updating. They did get hit hard during Irma. So theyve been doing a lot of Renovations and theyve done a great job. These pictures Im sharing with you or taken before Christmas time. And the last two pictures are our fish that they were able to adopt because they got too big for our pond. Thats stormy and Casper. The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly. I will continue to visit this place. I recommend this for anybody in the area its worth the visit.

Take the first entrance. BUY THE NECTAR! They didnt express the greatness of this activity. Im so glad I didnt pass on it! So much fun!!! Loved my time here!

This place is awesome. So many beautiful animals! You can feed the alligators for $5!!! Super cool! They also have other feed bags for other animals at $1a bag. Great experience for the family!

Love this place. It is so relaxing and fun. I hope it opens back up soon. We miss the birds.

A smidge run-down and dirty, but super fun nonetheless! Decently priced at $11 per person, and there are BOGO coupons in many of the tourist magazines. You can purchase a good amount of food for different animals for $1. Hand-feeding the flamingos was a highlight, as well as the free-roaming peacocks. There were about 20 types of animals total, with some in shared exhibits and some birds just in free standing cages.

Spent a couple of hours here with our 2-year old daughter Monday afternoon. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are multiple animals that range from alligators to turkeys to flamingos to tortoises. Very few of the animals seemed interested in eating the corn/grain mixture; we would probably only get the flamingo food next time. We generally enjoyed our time here and would come back.Pros:- Attendant was very helpful- Our daughter had a lot of fun feeding the flamingos and ibis.- You get access to all exhibits, there arent any add-on fees.Cons:- We felt some of the animal enclosures could be a bit cleaner and a bunch of the parrots had overgrown beaks.- A bit expensive for such a small place ($12/adult).

Everglades wonder garden is an awesome location to observe and interact with live alligators, crocodiles, birds, flamingos, parrots, and more. We were able to see and take pictures of them in live habitats as well as feed birds and flamingos. Come to this location with almost anyone and Im sure they will have a nice time.

Great experience, lots of cool animals. Doesnt take too much time to walk through at all but well worth visiting.

Lots of different animals and birds it was a beautiful garden! I thought it was so cool that you could feed flamingos, turtles, ALLIGATORS, and birds. There were tons of alligators and flamingos it was so much fun!

Fun little place to spend a couple of hours. You can get up close to alligators, flamingos, turkeys, tortoises, peacocks, and other critters. Beautiful grounds and cute little gift shop. You can buy food for different types of animals and feed them--fun for kiddos. The flamingos eat out of your hand. A really cool experience!

Fantastic 0ld Florida Foliage and Wildlife. Very Educational and Relaxing.

This is wonderful place to spend some quality time with your friends & family in a nature based setting that is beautifully landscaped. Everglades Wonderland, is a place where you can hand feed many of the animals. Cute little gift shop, informative adjacent museum. All the employees/staff are knowledgeable & extremely friendly. Just such a blessing to have such a place in Florida

Pretty gardens. Small park with native animals. You can feed the flamingo. Nice staff

A wonderful experience! Tons of fun for the whole family! The animals come straight to you! The alligators, the beautiful flamingos, they know what you are there for! A must for people visiting the area. A much more up, close, and personal experience than what you would get at a traditional zoo. Super fun!

Worth a stop. Fun for kids & adults. Its simple & old school but looks like they continue to work on improvements. A great way to spend time on a day too chilly for the beach. Enjoyed feeding the flamingos. Some of the tanks had a very strong odor like ammonia.

Amazing little place! Kids loved it we will be back!

Beautiful area! The grounds seem pretty well taken care of, and they have signs up on the couple of exhibits that are under renovation. The flamingos and ibis happily eat out of everyones hands. The plant life is very lush and green and provides a decent amount of shade. Theres some ground under open sky so wear your sunscreen! The staff were super nice. A great way to spend a quick afternoon with plant life and the animals! What a gem in the cute little town of Bonita.

An excellent zoo in the Sanibel area well worth the visit...feeding the Alligators is fun

My kids loved this place! Theyre both under 10 but I think some older kids would also enjoy it. Being able to hand feed flamingos and other birds as well as throw food to alligators or highlights! Youll want to lather on your organic bug repellent...

It was awesome! Theres a small history portion you can look at, a small art exhibit with some pictures, a small gift shop and of course plants and animals. A hurricane hit it so the sign is clearly damaged out front and the plants are lacking for now. However the animals are all ok and safely back in their homes. Its $12 to get in, and you can also buy bags of bird feed at the register for $1 a bag. Theres bird feed for the flamingos, theyll actually eat out of your hand if your patient and they trust you. Then theres an assorted food bag that feeds all the rest of the birds which we found useful to get the peacock to come out for more photo opportunities. I cant recommend it enough!

Feeding the flamingos was awesome.

Small place but great for young and older kids. You can see animals close up. They have alligators, birds, snakes, turtles, flamingos, e.c.t. You can feed some of the animals too which is great!

Awesome place to spend a relaxing afternoon!

We have never been this far south in Florida. We wanted to see some gators! I also had my 68 year old mom who cant walk a large acreage farm. It was small easy to get to and good value for the price. We walked the entire garden in about an hour. The flamingos were awesome and feeding them was so awesome! If you want some easy family friendly fun every family member can enjoy. Go here the staff was very friendly.

When visiting Florida, you have to find some alligators! This place fit the bill. Lovely facility and a great staff as well! Theyre making improvements to the gator/croc habitats, so Im sure it will improve as the years go on. Loved having the egrets and flamingos just roaming about and theyre so friendly!

Tons of fun and very affordable. How many times in life do you get to feed an alligator or have a bright pink flamingo eat out of your hand?

Realy great place, fun feeding the birds.

We love this place. Feeding the flamingos is always a huge hit. I always talk to my children about the danger of feeding wildlife, so this provides a safe place to do it.There are so many shady trees that the place is pleasant, even in the summer. We never spend much more than an hour, which works for us as a nice morning outing. It makes the membership worth it, at least for locals.I do wish the alligator pond and other water exhibits were cleaner, but realistically I am not sure what could be done about it.

First time visiting this local landmark. Enjoyed the various birds (flamingos, etc) and reptiles. Alligator pit needs to be redone. The attraction needs renovation.

Hidden spot. Went to park for kayaking and cause it was closed walked over to Wonder Gardens. Some exhibits still under renovation from Irma, but if u love nature, you will enjoy. Nice gift shop also.

It was a pretty little place, got a small morning walk in. They have food you can buy to feed gators, flamingos and I think there was something else but those were the animals we feed. Have never feed a gator before and boy was that an experience. Their growls can be felt if you are standing on the wooden bridge. The flamingos are super friendly and walk up to you expecting to be feed. Yes you do have to move slowly and hold out your hand for that, but it happened. It was a nice time coming here.

Great place to go to in Bonita Springs. Beautiful birds, hand feed them. Lots of hands on experiences.

Hidden gem. Love the open access to do many birds! Definitely buy some food.

This is a great place to take young children! Its not very large so not alot of walking but plenty of wildlife to see and interact with. Can get food to feed most all the animals and birds which the kids should really enjoy!

Super helpful staff and very easy for young kids to get around. Its a bit dirty, but its a zoo. Bring wipes or hand sanitizer

My family had a great time. We loved being able to interact with the animals and feed them.

Absolutely wonderful place to feed birds and alligators. Feeding the flamingos and peacocks from my hands was an experience Ill cherish all my life. They have birds which say hello and goodbye, pythons, alligators and all kinds of tropical birds.

Great old Florida stop! Admission is a bargain. Lots of tropical birds (Ibis, Flamingo, etc) alligators, tortoises and more. Really lovely little spot.

Although this is an older attraction, its still a great place to go, especially for kids, and all the animals are up close. Its not your typical zoo! You can tell many of the animals have enjoyed a happy little home there for a long time, several of them are rescues. A couple of the exhibits were closed to walk through for maintenance reasons, and the place could benefit from posting more detailed information about the animals. Overall, my parents and I had a great time, and enjoyed interacting with all the different birds, they come right up to you!

Loved visiting here. Kiwi the parrot was awesome and Casey the Cockatoo was my favorite

What a fun time. It is small but packed with things to see.

Just WOW. Worth every penny, which wasn’t expensive at all. Fed pink flamingos, check off the bucket list.

Nice litte wonder place to get lost for Couple hours

Nice place. Easy to see birds and reptiles. Feed the birds a must

This place is amazing! We really wanted to get right next to some flamingos and feed them so we did! This place is a true treasure! 4 adults had a blast feeding alligators, flamingos, peacocks and standing in the butterfly/ orchid conservatory. Beautifully charming place! I will be back for future visits!

Beautiful wildlife, we fed the Lorakeets, flamingos and Ibis by hand- such a wonderful day

Had a very enjoyable afternoon feeding the alligators and flamingos. Facility needs some love but reasonably priced and a great time!

Its not the zoo. But if you want to just spend a morning or afternoon and see animals that are native to Florida, here you go. Our family really enjoyed the Everglades Wonder Gardens. If you dont mind birds perching on you then make sure to get the red ticket and feed the birds! Took some great pictures and made great memories.

Family friendly.

I cant recommend this place enough. Its an old roadside attraction that has survived the years (and hurricanes). Its kitchy, its cute. There are gators galor, snakes and other reptiles. Lots of birds and plants. Pick up the $1 bag of food and feed the flamingos. It so fun! If you get the annual pass, you also get access to a lot of other regional (and some out of state) museums and botanical gardens too.

Nice place, a mom and pop feel. Lots of free roaming birds

Visited the Gardens today. A waste of money as the displays were in terrible condition and most unavailable to see to get into. A TV commercial for the Gardens showed a young girl feeding dozens of small parrots within the cage, which we were looking forward too. Not available today. Would not return.

Great time with the family. The fact that you can feed many of the animals with cups of food for only $1 makes it that much more enjoyable and creates some pretty cool memories (like having flamingos eat out of our hands and seeing the alligators active and moving in the water instead of laying still like most zoos). Only thing preventing me from giving it five stars was the fact that the facility is a little in need of some repair - a couple of the enclosures were empty and could use some love.

Great fun for the whole family. Just the right size if kids are under 6-7 yrs old. 2hrs is perfect to enjoy your time here.

This place is a gem.Our kids loved feeding the birds, alligators, and fish. They have a lot of animals to see! Love the repeating birds.

Lovely place to visit - hand feeding flamingos was a real highlight!

All the residents here seem happy and are mostly in their natural environment. Beautiful areas with local flora. You can feed the birds and alligators. Everyone working here was friendly and helpful.

Very charming place. Fun for children and adults. Super friendly staff!

If you love animals... go here! Not for profit, cheap, and tons of fun. They have food you can purchase for $1 to feed certain animals. The alligators were rescued! Theyve had a lot of destruction from Irma but big plans on increasing the park. I look forward to coming back here many times.

Old Florida-style roadside attraction. Well-labeled plant and animal exhibits. The staff was all very informative and helpful, especially Courtney.

Amazing. Highly recommended to come here to feed free ranging flamingos! They have food available cheap for obly $1/cup! 1 cup a person is plenty.

Nice place for the value... could use alittle more activities for the kids but still fun...

They are hard at work making improvements.

A nice Zoo with interesting animals. The size of the Zoo was enough to keep my two-year-old busy for nearly two hours.A bit sad is that some of the animals can only be stopped through dense fences.

Great Experience. Enjoyed the afternoon at the Wonder Gardens feeding Flamingos and Birds and walking through the Butterfly Garden, seeing alligators and Turtles and the many other attractions this place has to offer. Nice Gift Shop, a must visit spot in Bonita Springs.

Beautiful hidden little spot. Although Im not a huge fan of zoos and felt very uncomfortable seeing people being able to interact so closely with the birds, they had a beautiful habitat to live in, were all clearly healthy, and the space itself is a classic Florida roadside stop. They had lots of gators with plenty of safety precautions, and not once did I feel threatened or unsafe.

Close encounter with all the animals. Beautiful trees and plants. Great place for younger children.

Nice place recovering for hurracaine, but lovely and taking care of animals and plants. Great staff show the place and what they do for all kind of fauna.

The Everglades Wonder Gardens is a magical place! What a charming and beautiful piece of Florida. The Gardens were lush and full of examples of Florida wildlife. Was not expecting to be able to feed the Lorikeets, Flamingos and other birds! What a treat! Decided to support the Gardens as much as I could and bought local honey they sold in the gift shop as my main souvenir to take home for family and friends. Was excited to see more than wildflower honey. They had Sanibel Sea grape, Mangrove and Saw Palmetto honey! One of my favorite experiences while visiting down here!

Really nice place to watch Turtles, Flamingos, Snakes, Alligators and more

Facinating Flamingoes, gators and lots of wildlife. Fun for the whole family!

Nice place to visit especially if you have kids, at the time of this post they are doing extensive renovation. 4 stars
