Beautiful property. I have really enjoyed the dog dates and I hope they continue with them. Certainly in the winter. I hope its been going well for Fairchild too. Ive only seen well-behaved dogs and responsible owners. During Covid people are social distancing and always wearing a mask.

Expansive and well-maintained garden/ park with nice paved walkways for easy access. There were no trams the day I went and it was almost empty, which was really nice. I loved the butterflies, of course, but the whole park is fantastic. birds, rare trees, various flowers and plants. I would budget 2-4 hours and check the weather as there is little shelter from the rain.

This garden is breathtaking. There is a vast selection of tropical plans, butterflies, cacti, and flowers. There are also a few crocodiles and lots of iguanas. They have a shuttle that drives you around the park with set stops where you can get off, enjoy the views and then hop on the next one. I strongly recommend using the shuttle so you can see where everything is and listen to the interesting chat about the unique plants in the area, and then do a second round where you get off in various stops. This garden is huge!!! If you decide to walk, dress for the weather, have lots of water on you and some snacks. You can easily spend 8 hours here if you walk around and have lunch at the restaurant in the park.

One of my favorite places in Miami ...such a beautifully maintained park. Love spending time here and exploring different types of tropical plants and birds. The wings of the tropic butterfly exhibit is amazing and is a must watch. Highly recommend this park !!!

Absolutely stunning. This is THE DATE PLACE! I mean it natural beauty with the elegant landscape is so romantic. I wish I could post every picture but the best ones I kept for myself! This is a must see in miami. I loved having a play date there with our 4 year olds. We don’t even cover 1/4 of the place! It’s huge and you could get lost in the beauty all day, easy.

Beautiful lovely enchanted gardens. My mom loved it. The lunch sandwiches and fresh juice were delicious. Dont forget to see the rainforest. We will go earlier next time we only got to see a small portion we arrived after 2pm. I highly recommend this garden to visit.

Love this place. It is a spectacular place, there are misting areas throughout the tropical forest and it feels like being in one. There is food available now, must try the avocado toast and mango smoothie. I miss the festivals, but maybe next year. Renewed my yearly membership for my family .

These gardens were beautiful, very well maintained, and a great place to relax. There was but a lot of bloom when we went, but still beautiful with all the various foliage colors and textures. Highly recommended and well worth the price.

I might be biased because we got engaged here, but Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens is one of my favorite places on Earth! The variety of plants and wildlife is amazing. We saw iguanas, lizards, alligators, butterflies, and countless beautiful birds. The cafe has refreshing snacks and beverages to enjoy when you want to take a break from walking through the garden but warning, they are pricey! There is also a free tram you can ride with a guide who will share a wealth of knowledge with you. Dale Chihuly’s gorgeous glass sculptures can be found in the natural settings, just as the artist intended. You’ll love it here!

Never disappoints, there is a magical feeling as you walk and hear the birds and the wind swirling through the towering trees. Calm all around, the beauty reminds you of how nature connects us all.

Beautiful gardens but a lot was closed because of COVID. We got tickets half price which was awesome. Definitely wear your walking shoes. It’s very nice to be outdoors and enjoy reading all of the different species of plants and flowers. Big plus was parking was free! Definitely would go back again when it’s all open.

The Fairchild Botanical Gardens has always been an amazing place to enjoy with your family. We haven’t been back in months since the Pandemic. We recently wanted to squeeze some outdoor activity that was safe and enjoyable before the school year begins and decided to try it out. I was really impressed with how organized they’ve made it to make sure people do not cross paths with their one way directions and how effective they were in keeping masks on their visitors with signs throughout the garden. Great job to the team there for keeping our community safe, taking responsibility into their own hands, and allowing us all to enjoy the gardens again during these times. We’ll be back again soon!

Beautiful place to go for few hours. Nice views, not crowded

We can’t express enough how much we’ve enjoyed working at Fairchild Tropical Garden! Beauty is found in every square foot of this garden. There are so many picturesque ceremony and reception area options. Finding a spot to photograph is almost a challenge because of the abundance of lovely nooks there are to choose from! As you walk around, you’ll learn so much about these tropical plants and what this organization is doing to help conserve them. It’s a win for all of us! We would recommend this venue to our couples without hesitation.

Amazing place! I loved it. I walked for 3 hours and was amazed with such a beauty. It’s relaxing and peaceful. I could spend my whole day just sitting on a bench and reading a good book. I went on a Saturday and was not crowded at all. Everything was beautiful: butterflies, trees, flowers, fountains, lakes.

What an amazing garden! If you are remotely interested in the natural world and conservation, you must give this place a visit. If you are interested in plants, then this will be nothing short of a treat. The gardens are located in a beautiful locale surrounded by magnificent old mansions. The gardens (more like, sprawling grounds) can be toured on foot or on a cart where the driver will stop at intervals and give you a description of the plants and animals you see. There are also greenhouses inside, including a butterfly garden (although it can get quite humid inside)One of my favorite places in Miami!

Beautiful place amazing experience with my two grown sons. Would highly recommend for a stress free relaxing beautiful walk

Great place to walk and enjoy nature. Unfortunately storms made the stay short. Defintely will return.

One of the absolute best gardens in the world, hands down. Unlike most other botanic gardens I have been to, this one was mostly outside with the exception of a few fruit trees such as cacao that were in an open-air glasshouse. You will find some trees that are not common in cultivation or at other botanic gardens in the States here such as the baobab or the plants of Madagascar. What I find particularly neat is the sheer number of diverse plants that are grown outside here in addition to all the little (and not-so-little) critters that abound here such as anoles, geckos, iguanas, crabs, birds of many kinds, frogs, fish, etc.The palm collection is one of the best in the world, and one could spend hours here, so long as they don’t mind the occasional thunderstorm or rain shower. If you are a member of another botanic garden, they can let the entrance fee slide and admit you, but otherwise the cost (around $30 per person) may be steep for some. You certain will get your money’s worth, as previously mentioned, it is extremely well taken care of and maintained, and the collections are ultra-diverse. Would highly recommend a visit any time of the year, but the summer is less crowded but much warmer, and the winter is drier, more crowded, and marginally cooler. I will certainly come back next time I am in South Florida.

Very enjoyable experience! Be sure to read The Food Explorer by Daniel Stone for the amazing and thrilling backstory of the Gardens founder and namesake! Hes the James Bond of botanists!

I do not recommend this place if you are a photographer trying to capture an interesting shot. This place is full of plants that you can see in any street on Miami. This place is not a botanical garden.As a member I was there yesterday afternoon, I spent money in tolls, gas and time getting there and in 1 hour I left the place very dissapointed. The butterfly exhibit was really boring. Just 2 ordinay species of butterflies flying around. Nothing appealing, really depressing. Then I decided to walk on the pathway in the folliage so I could get a nice flower shot, but it was impossible because sadly, someone had the great idea turn on the water mist all around the paths and the humidity was damaging my camera a lens. The nices trees are now impossible to photograph because they are sorrounded by ugly chairs, so I could not event photograph a nice tree.Definetly this is not the place to spend $90 on a year membership. Only go there if you love photographing lizards. If you love photographing butterflies, get a membership at butterfly world instead. This is a garden near Coral Springs.The good reviews that you see posted in this site, are probably done by elderly people who have nothing else exciting to do.

Beautiful tropical garden, but with a steep price. Price is justified due to sheer size and expanse of different plant species, but for larger groups its better to go on a discounted day. If youre a true plant enthusiast you should definitely get a membership. Theres many events and its a good way to get your children into gardening!

We had a great day at the gardens. It was quite warm, but there were enough shady areas to cool off. The signs to get to the main garden areas were a little confusing but once you got there it was lovely. Definitely picture worthy. I suggest buying tickets online. We got there to a long line and purchased online tickets within minutes and were able to leave the line to go in - Buy youre before getting there :)!

One word for this place, peace....is very relaxing to come to the park and enjoy the exuberant vegetation. If you are local a membership is recommended, cheaper than the $25 you have to pay if you are not....

Do not waist your time. Any national park in Florida is better and cheaper. Does not worth $100 for family visit. Most of the staff is closed, nothing interesting. I dont understand why this botanical garden has such good reviews?! Save your money and time. Do Not go! I hope I will read negative review before I will go :(.

I read that this is one of the best tropical gardens in the world. The property is well kept and we really enjoy our visit. Free parking lot, After pay the entrance fee $25 at the gift shop take the free tram for a slow pace 45 min. guided tour. With a stop at the Glass Door Cafe /Butterfly Garden. We saw turtles, ducks, small lizards, large green iguanas. We recommend the Butterfly Garden. We spend around 3 hours.

Definitely worth a visit. Nice place to relax and enjoy nature. Couldve spent the entire day here. I highly recommend the free guided tour offered of the entire property. The staff were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their jobs. The butterfly exhibit is great too.

Lovely !!! Wear your sneakers and stroll leisurely through these beautiful gardens or take a hike on one of the trails. There is something beautiful around every corner. They have a senior discount which was nice to use with relatives ($6 for seniors) and the price for adults ($9) was reasonable too. There are different things blooming each season and so I definitely cant wait to go back in spring and see the rose garden in complete bloom!

The butterfly exhibit is exquisite! And sometimes they sell seasonal fruits. Mangos and avocados.

It was very nice. Very tranquil, and the butterflies were AWESOME! Staff was very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. I really enjoyed it.

Serene and beautiful. The history on this garden is amazing as it was a vacant piece of land that was transformed into a beautiful master piece. This is truly a nature lovers paradise as it is peaceful and full of natural life. A must visit for those that live nearby or simply appreciate nature at its finest!

We took our 4 kids, ages 6-11 to the gardens for the day. We all had a blast. There was so much to see, do, and explore. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the volunteer staff are very helpful. We had lunch at the cafe and the food was reasonably priced and high quality. The kids enjoyed the butterfly room and tram ride and seeing lizards. I loved the orchids.

If you want to escape the craziness in Miami, then this is the spot. There is so much to see here that I would recommend 3 hours or more, especially if you are the type to explore and love plants. There are many unique plants and views to see here. The gardens also offers a driving tour to take you around and explain some of the areas they have. You may come across many iguanas as we did, which made it entertaining. You always hear about South Beach and other trendy spots, but this is definitely a great place to see if you are visiting the area.

IMO the best way to visit the garden is to take the tram ride first and then go explore the garden on your own after getting some information and history about the garden. Tram tour was about 30-40 minutes long and went around the whole garden. The staff started setting up for night garden around 4pm, so unless some night garden experience is preferred, come early enough to avoid it. It was a pleasant surprise to see some glass art works done by Dale Chihuly around the garden.

Orchid show was going on. Garden beautiful as always. Weather getting nicer.

The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is a beautiful Botanic Garden. Be prepared for an astonishing walk through different plant and forest types. You will also encounter animals such lizards, crocodiles, birds, butterflies, among others. If you dont want to walk the whole park, they also provide a trolly that takes you around the park while the park ranger narrates and explains the locations, plants, and animals.

I wouldnt recommend it for disabled people.They dont rent scooters, nor wheelchairs. The Exit is not properly marked, and the exit way is tooo long and without benches to at least take some rest. They should definitely consider a more inclusive environment for our special needs community.

Great place to enjoy the nature. Perfect for this time in which we need to keep social distance.

I go to Fairchild at least once a week to relax in its bountiful beauty. Something different is always blooming and there are numerous programs and festivals year around. Picnics are allowed on the grounds where you can see numerous types of butterflies and birds. The food sold there is excellent. Don’t miss the butterfly garden it’s spectacular!Delores “Dee” Tyler

Beautiful place. Great place for all ages. Very well taken care of and an amazing variety of plants and trees.Very pricey admission though. Twenty five bucks per person. I feel thats a little over priced. Not much to do there except look at foliage.

This place is so beautiful!!!! Of course its a garden so you have to go at the right time when certain flowers are in bloom. Some of the flowers I saw were wilting and it was very sad and upsetting but it really depends when you go! I was also expecting to see more cherry blossom trees especially since they were having a cherry blossom festival but they only have a couple of them! The Japanese garden is very small compared to other places but still a reasonable size. They definitely have a lot of camelias and their rose garden didnt have too many roses. I will definitely be back when more flowers are in bloom. They also have a BEAUTIFUL tulip garden. You will have to avoid the crowds of people if you want to take pictures of the beautiflu tulips with no people in the pictures though! Definitely come in the morning since a lot of tourists come in the afternoon or mid morning!

Wow, this place at night was great! NightGarden at Fairchild was spectacular. It starts off a little slow, not too exciting but then picks up. My favorite part was the rain forest. It reminded me of the movie Avatar. The family loved it also. There is also a cool area where you walk through a long gazebo type place with lights to music. In the middle part, there are buttons with different colors. When you hit them, the whole “hallway” changed to that color for a few seconds. There are other areas with interactive lights also. There is also a musical light piano thing where you touch the light and make notes/music. Over all, a very nice place. Would definitely come back. We want to visit also in the day time. One last thing, be warned, there are signs that warn you about crocodiles in the area, please see pics. We did not see any but be warned anyways.Btw, the pictures don’t do it justice. You need to go and see it live. Also, buy your ticket on Groupon and save. They also have children, military and veteran discount at the gate.

This place is really nice stroll in the park, relax, read a book on a bench just enjoy the nice sun. My favorite times are october/november and march/april because of the weather:) If you are an orchid aficionado you will love it but remember to go regularly since the species and the bloming vary from one time to the other.....and look up and down because they are placed sometimes where you dont expect them.... enjoy

The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is an 83-acre botanic garden, with extensive collections of rare tropical plants. I truly love this place. Anytime I want to just get away from the city and to disconnect. It is a beautiful and relaxing experience. They have a wide variety of tropical plants, a butterfly garden, an orchid trail and a fruit garden. They have lots of sculptures as well and a butterfly garden. Great place for a picnic. I give Fairchild Botanical Gardens 5 stars since its a beautiful place. Definitely worth visiting.

This place is amazing, it is full of Nature. I have a great time every time I visit Fairchild Tropical Gardens

Amazing botanical garden. Very well maintained and the events and exhibitions are very well organized. If you live in Miami, it is better to become a member.

Beautiful tropical gardens. Plan on about 2 hours to enjoy the gardens. Theres a snack bar there, also, but picnics also ok to bring in!

Absolutely gorgeous place to come and learn about plant life! The gardens are huge. There is a trolley which will take you on a 45 minute ride around the gardens, I recommend highly you take it. There is a butterfly pavilion with a restaurant, great little place to get away from the heat and enjoy a lunch while you watch the butterflys. If your in Miami visiting or a local and have not been to fairchilds, I would go!

Excellent,really beautiful. I enjoyed so much. Amazing

Only a few words: (as like say this picture) Here is my Heaven on Earth

This is truly a lovely place to come see during the winter time at the Night Garden; however security was extremely rude and one boy became hostile with me when I asked a simple question concerning the parking lot that my car was parked at. My advice to you: Dont hire young and stupid frat boys from the local colleges. Make sure you hire quality employees who actually are enthusiastic about making families feel welcomed.

Most beautiful garden in all of Miami.

Absolutely stunning botanical garden !Butterfly house was also AMAZING .You could spend the whole day here .Handicap accessible . Plenty of parking in different locations / entrances . I would recommend going early .They do have a cafe for lunch was reasonably priced food .I would love to return for the night show !

Our Miami Wedding Planning Studio has worked as this venue for several occasions. As one of the Top 10 Florida Wedding Planners, its very important to select where are you getting married and what the venue can offer to you. Indeed, one of the most beautiful gardens to plan your backyard wedding over a sky full of stars. They offer different location options, their staff is nice and helps in what they can. I recommend working with them if you are planning your wedding, and its always important to hire a planner for this type of venues.

This is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnect with nature. The greens are gorgeous and very well kept. There are many different sections of the gardens dedicated to different varieties of flora, as well as a butterfly garden to walk through.Along the paths are many benches for you to sit and rest, as well as soak in the incredible view.

Okay, maybe Im biased because I live in the same city , but this is truly an amazing place. Lots of tropical trees and plants to see. The butterfly aviary is amazing. It is just do relaxing to walk around and enjoy this place. At certain times of the year you will find hidden treasures of artwork on display (not during hurricane season for obvious reasons ). The garden also hosts great festivals such as the Mango Festival which was the purpose of our most recent visit. This place is a real gem. And it had a great history from its connection to David Fairchild.Shorter VersionHad a wonderful time at Fairchild Garden but had a small problem getting round due to renovations but thanks to the amazing CEO and staff all sortedWell worth a visit such a peaceful place and beautiful gardens

Don’t bother coming here. I’ve been a member for four years and until they open the garden fully it is a waste of your time. The one way walking path is entirely pointless. Half the garden is closed as well as the cafe, butterfly garden, greenhouses and the majority of the walking areas. The mango festival was a major joke- why bother calling it a mango festival when there was absolutely nothing there to make it one. Instead of the normal number of vendors there were 5- Some kids selling hot dogs and one fruit stand. Don’t waste your time here and if anything I’d love to get my money back on this years membership.

OMG, the butterflies were amazing and breathtaking. It’s as if I stepped into a magical fairy world. I can not believe I missed it all this time. I recommend for everyone to make the visit. You can spend hours walking around and appreciating nature.

The cafe was wonderful, everything we saw in the park was beautiful, and the people were very nice

Thats a beautiful and peaceful place. I used to take my kids there when they were younger. We go for Halloween for the pumpkins and they do have beautiful events there.

We had not visited in a few years. Wow, better than ever! Well-maintained with brand new garden paths. The food is delicious with multiple healthy options. We brought all of our kids and even the teenagers enjoyed it. The butterfly experience was a delight for our 6 and 9 year olds especially. We didnt end up doing the tram tour due to time constraints but weve done it in the past and its definitely worthwhile. A peaceful place to put away your devices and enjoy natural, living beauty. Pictures just dont do it justice. You have to see it in person.

Beautiful place. Great for photography or just to enjoy the day. Lots of places to sit alone or with your significant other and just relax. Currently as of March 2018 there is a butterfly section with lots of butterflies not native to the US. Excellent place to visit. Entrance fee is little high, but well worth it..

A wonderful place to walk and enjoy the plants, butterflies, water features and birds. They have done a marvelous job of creating a one way walkway to allow social distancing and yet allow visitors to take in a great deal of the park. They indoor exhibits arent open but it is a really nice place to go for a walk.

Amazing garden, I was very impressed, it a hidden gem of Miami, took us approximately 2 hours to walk it all. Great palm trees, tons of different iguanas, birds, geckos, we were warned about alligators. But we didnt see any, had a great time there

It’s absolutely a paradise on earth. The plants span every possible shape and color. The Gilhully sculptures are gorgeous. The cafe serves pretty decent food. The store is full of beautiful things - you can do your Christmas shopping. The tram ride is fun but don’t miss just walking around - making fascinating discoveries at every turn. Some wildlife we saw on a late February afternoon : ibis, carp, turtles, iguana,

My suggestion is to go in the morning. After 1pm it is extremely hot!! When we came in the shop, we came across a cashier who then asked us if we were members we said no, it was our first time, then they directed us to another cashier who by the way never looked at us. Finally the owner came out and helped us in a more professional and friendly way . The place is amazingly beautiful but there was a lack of beverage stands or employees aroundtthe garden. Let me say that this place was huge!!!! We literally walked 3 miles. It was extremely hot and we were getting dehydrated because there were nothing to drink anywhere. We were able to find shade in some places and were able to cool off. We did enjoy the beautiful sights, my favorite was the butterfly garden... The lakes were to die for. In some spots i felt like i never wanted to leave. My kids enjoyed it. I guess next time i will come better prepared and probably take the tram tour. Did not expect the entrance to be so expensive but oh well. Overall my experience was ok. I understand theres a pandemic out there and things are different..... I just wish they can take our thirst as a consideration and place at least some vending machines out there.

Excellent park, very large, wide variety, camera and video friendly, great staff very knowledgeable and nice for walks. You can go off trails or follow the arrows to find the designated spots, remember to pick up a map in the front entrance as that will help you later on!

It’s a beautiful place and the garden change every season by the flowers, plants and trees. There are great events with food and music. Stop by the butterfly garden and later take a break at the coffee shop.

One of my favorite places in Miami. Come here often to walk, bird watch, and explore the gardens. They often have festivals and a plant sale twice a year with many unique plants. I recently took a botanical Illustration class here taught by Donna Torres. It was a lot of fun and I feel like my watercolor skills improved so much. A must visit place for locals as well as tourist!

This is one of my absolute favorite places to unwind and relax in. It is a great place to have a prolonged time of peace and intimacy with nature. Walking through the gates is similar to walking on to a story book and the overall environment really enables all of the senses. I recommend coming here if you are in search of a suitable place to unplug from society.

Stroll in tbe garden!Me and my family visited the gardens on a beautiful day! We had family visiting from PR and it was a place of interest for them. The day we went, they were having the Chocolate Festival. It was lots of fun! They have so much green, amazing gardens, beautiful variety of plants and tress, areas to just sit, meditate, relax and enjoy nature!

Garden closes very early even on the weekend with reservation. Got her 3:30 for no reason.Otherwise you can find quiet and peace there.

Beautiful grounds, very helpful staff. Actually let me go beyond just saying that. These are volunteers who love Florida, the property and the visitors to the Garden. Stop in and tell them thank you and support all the amazing work that they do.

Had a good time. Very many nice plants . Clean bathrooms

Excellent place to visit, thanks to all the staff, to Karen, Jim and the rest, they were super nice. the place is magic. The tour is very interesting. A wild variety of plants, flowers and butterflies. I had the unique opportunity to see a hummingbird.

Beautiful Gardens and overall scenery to view if visiting. Indoor locations and gardens (including butterfly garden) are especially great and interesting points to visit. Staff are very passionate of their work, and happy to help or inform you on any plants or topics you may be wondering about. The projects on which they work on, ranging from partnerships with NASA and Biotech @ Richmond Heights seem to be flourishing and exceptional, likely from passionate workers and students alike.If you are a plant lover, or would just like to view a beautiful botanical garden, with a large range of all types of native and non-native Florida wildlife, this is the place to go.

So I purchased tickets for the garden and it started pouring, they have a rain or shine policy, we got there and everything was closed and obviously we were not able to enter the garden, I have called more than 6 times, left more than 3 voicemails and sent more than 3 emails and NO ONE has reached out to me, I will be going personally, I hope to be able to visit the garden or get my money back, really low professional skills, i do not appreciate that.

The Fairchild combines a unique and gorgeos tropical garden with a strong educational component. You can learn there everything you need to know about tropical plants, particularly palms, and also about the conservation and scientific efforts they make.

Amazing flowers and the butterfly garden is very beautiful

Absolutely loved the peace and quiet of this place. Spent almost three hours here, a bath for all the senses. A replenishing escape from urban life.

If youre a visitor to Miami dont miss this attraction. My only regret is not going earlier in the day. Do the tram tour first, its so interesting and youll get a feel for the grounds when you walk around on your own after. Entire trip was worth it just for the butterfly conservatory alone (absolutely magical). Pretty good food in the cafe, although the tacos are overrated. Must see!!! Not gonna lie, after this visit Im rethinking my views on marriage just so I can do it here.

So lush and green, plus steps are in place for social distancing.

I loved every moment.

Descanso Gardens is a hidden gem located in a neighborhood on the outskirts of LA. The garden is freaking huge so I highly recommended setting aside at least two hours just to wander the garden grounds.

I love this place my annual pass is the best investment ever

Magnificent representation of Florida’s natural beauty. Only outdoor tropical rainforest within the United States and there’s also a huge Baobab tree from Madagascar.

Its a beautiful garden, a gem in this city. I last visited when I was in elementary for a field trip. Recently I went to photograph and the garden has changed so much for the better. There is a crocodile at the garden, I didnt know this until I saw it lol. But the place is beautiful. Its worth being there.

Beautiful park with a interesting collection of plants and trees from around the world. There is also a large enclosure with butterflies. Take a blanket and a picnic.

Big city tranquility...Just work your way south of downtown Miami if your looking for a few hours away from it all. Very friendly volunteers and the gardens are lovely. And if your wanting lunch, the sandwiches are as good as you can get.

A Miami cultural must-see. Recommending visiting the buttery fly exhibit (included with admission) and one of their nighttime events

OK. Im not into plants but I honestly loved this place. Calm, peaceful and beautiful. Take the free tram ride and get some historical explanation. We saw a huge gator, some turtles and many birds.

Night Garden event was very disappointing. Parking was extremely packed, no one was there to help guide traffic we were stuck and looking for parking for almost half an hour. When we went to purchase tickets they were charging $42. I told the lady online on their own website it was going for $32, with an attitude she said so go get them there... When we left, since there was mud literally everywhere due to the rain they offered a trolley, which I thought was great. Wait time 10-15 minutes they said. We literally waited 40 minutes (i timed it) before they came, one small golf cart, and there was a large crowd waiting but he could only take one person at a time. Meanwhile there were 2 golf carts just sitting there and about 4 employees nearby doing absolutely nothing. Never again, at $42 a head you guys could have honestly planned this way more efficiently. I emailed them as well about my experience, no reply. Obviously they dont care.

I had a great time at Fairchild! I came for the NightGarden event which was pretty good. The parking wasnt too bad and the attractions were great! The only problem is theres a ton of people crowding each of the attractions which can make it a bit of a hassle if youre looking to snap a really cool picture without getting photo bombed by random people. Overall, the experience was still pretty good.

Had a picnic with my sweetheart here and it was beautiful.

Definitely one of my favorite places to go. Beautiful nature, and so many different palm trees, orchids, just so many plants to learn about and enjoy. Gorgeous lake views, butterflies, even the little cafe has good food. Fun place to go for all ages. And their festivals are always fun.

Beautiful place to be with friends and family! You can enjoy the nature and take amazing pictures :) it was a lovely experience... Definitely going back!

Beautiful place! Huge, alot of walking!

Gorgeous garden! You can end up walking around here for several hours. I could spend my whole day here just sitting on a bench or watching the sun rise. Its almost never crowded at all. Everything is so beautiful! Parking is always very easy to find.

Beautiful place, lovely way to spend a day with the family.

Excellent place to go with your family and friends.
