Its a somewhat fascinating little park. You can do it in 2 hours. There are plenty of exotic trees and plants to see as well as some wildlife. Great little picnic spot or place to take the family for a walk.As a tourist with limited time, you can skip it.

A big park with all kinds of fruit. You can eat anything thats fallen to the ground and the fruit will cary depending on what season you go. My daughter also has fun because she loves fruit. There is a small petting zoo, a few childrens parks and a lot of land to just have a nice walk or have your kids tire themselves out. There is also a cafe with drinks and sandwiches. If you want substantive plates, eat before or after. There is also a nice gift shop. You may buy fruit to take with you.

Perfect for families (with children)! I can’t say any negative, we had so much fun, we had the chance to taste some exotic fruits (you can have what’s only on the ground)! Dog friendly! Great location, easy parking access and friendly staff. Definitely recommended!

Highly recommend the Fruit and Spice park. Its a beautiful place with a large variety of fruit trees and spices from all around the world. Bring your family and have a picnic, enjoy the peaceful scenery.

My wife and I had a wonderful time. We had the pleasure of a guided tour with Iva. Iva made our time at the park so much better. We would have missed out on some great knowledge and experiences without her. Highly recommend visiting here if youre in the area.

I wasnt entirely sure what to expect from the Fruit and Spice park; at first.When I called, the representative on the phone kindly explained all the details of visiting the facility; which was endearing. Being able to eat any fallen fruit is a uniquely primal and delicious experience.Due to COVID-19, the prices were reduced but we chose to pay 2x the price simply to support these stunning grounds, the precious creatures who live at the park; as well as the employees.When my husband and I were foraging, a kind worker stopped and gave us some excellent tips on what to try.We will definitely be visiting again!

This park was really nice! I had a few hours to kill on a weekday and gave it a shot. It was bigger than I expected and a really pleasant walk. A cool concept for a park! We got smoothies next door at the behest of an employee that were delicious.

First note: due to COVID, the tram tours have been suspended. They have not been able to get their website updated to reflect that. The entry fee is $10. The young lady at the gate booth was so sweet and informative.We unfortunately arrived at the hottest part of the day, so we had to cut our walk short. But is a beautiful display of exotic trees, an herb garden, and many palms, bamboo and some cactI - plus may colorful iguanas that are something we’d never seen before! Without a guide it is hard to know what one is looking at, as markers are few. I am giving the park a full five because it is a unique and educational place and a feast for the eyes. Maybe we can return post COVID and in cooler weather.

Great park to go to and learn about fruit and spices from around the world. As an added bonus, you get to eat any fruit that had fallen off the trees.Dress comfortably as its outside and youll get to enjoy Florida hot humid weather.

This Park have fruits from all over. And you are allowed to eat any front as long it is on the floor.Today ee had coconut, star fruit and guava. So good.A lot of families go there to do picnic. It must be nice to go there on Mango season. Or the Jabuticaba.Because they are located very south. It is better to see other attractions around so you can maximize the day. We went to the Safari Adventure.

Totally delighted and delicious. A wonderful place to walk around. Kids love you can eat what you find.

Wonderful experience for nature enthusiasts! Lots of tropical fruits Ive never seen before. They allow you to eat the fruit inside the park if it has fallen to the ground and can identify it! Fruit samples are also provided inside the gift shop.

Very scenic ... Family friendly... Staff was amazing tractor tour was so sweet..... The little old lady driving the was so sweet and kind... Great outing if you wanna try something new....

I had an amazing time here with my parents and would highly recommend it. The tour of I think 40 acres of different kinds of plants and trees was really interesting and informative. My guide was Iva and she went over and beyond answering all of our questions as she drove us through the park during our tour. She was very knowledgeable and gave us some really interesting info on the plants including health benefits. Afterwards she gave my mother and I some literature about one of the plants we were asking about. She even gave us a baby curry tree which we were asking about as well as a coconut so we could plant it as well. You are not allowed to pick any fruit from the park but you are allowed to ask for a seed or seedling.Inside the visitor center, one of the other staff members, Brad offered us some cut fruit and coconut meat and even opened a cold sweet coconut for us to drink.Both Brad and Iva went over and beyond to make sure we had a fun and memorable and informative experience. The other staff members we met in passing were kind and helpful as well. I highly recommend to go here! Its a gorgeous place!

This park is 4 years older than I am 71 and Ive never heard of it went down to the Asian Festival because they cancel the one I normally go to at the college they say it was smaller than normal due to the virus thats being spread around the world but what was there was very nice I love some of the plants trees and ponds they have tours during the week so I may be back

Very nice gardens! This is a great place for jogging, hiking, having fun with kids, and riding a train, too. Free every third Tuesday, so I never have to buy a membership. In spring, its also the the best place to see tulips in LA. The rose garden also gets nicer and nicer.

So relaxing and peaceful! Love coming to the park and trying out new and interesting fruit that’s in season. Love doing the tram tour! They make it entertaining and educational for my family and I.

Loved walking & exploring the vast grounds. 100+ year old fruit trees, samples of exotic fruits in the gift shop. Awesome experience to take a stroll & be welcome to any falling fruit as you go. There was even a big area where park staff had hung up bunches of mini bananas for patrons. Great experience

Fun place to visit and you may get lucky and pick up some delicious tropical fruits on the ground to taste!But never pick fruits from the tree though!

Wonderful gem in the Redlands. Make a day of it and check out Schneblys winery and brewery.

Love love love this place tried many different fruits that Id never have the chance to . So glad I went there.

Ive visited this place twice and I loved it both times. Its only $9 per adult and both times I did at least an hour and a half of walking and still wasnt able to finish. Theres plenty of areas that feel very private and quiet to enjoy. There werent as many flowers as I thought thered be but still enjoyed it. However, I wouldnt eat there again. The food was mediocre.

The park is really nice with a large selection of trees and plants and a relaxing lagoon. They handed us a mango right at the entrance which was very nice. The iguanas are large but friendly. The water lilies are gorgeous. During summer time is hot but a great way to spend the day either way.

Very beautiful scenery and a lot of tropical plants of such many different fruits and spices. Also water plants and fishes. The best is at the end when you can taste some of the fruits harvested in the park.

This a beautiful, lush park that showcases tropical plants from all over the world. They usually give tours but as went when there was a festival that option wasnt available.I am only giving 4 stars because I was expecting a bit more from the event I attended. But I will definitely be back again.

Its a nice place to explore nature with kids, make sure to take plenty if water, comfortable shoes and snacks, you can even have picnic. Take also sunscreen and a pocket knife in case you find any fruit on the ground you would like to try. Theres a tour where they drive you arround the park and describe every kind of tree there is. They even have a nice cafe where you can have a snack. Its a nice place to be on nature

The online store sells MOLDED & ROTTEN FRUIT & if you complain or ask for a refund they will give you a $5 coupon. The same day i got my box, i took pics & all the fruit was bad, rotten & bruised. I reached out the same day & it took them 3days to respond telling me there was nothing wrong with it but there definitely was molded & bruised fruits in the pics. They refuse to respond to any emails or take ACCOUNTABILITY of their scamming behavior on their website. I have many pictures and the supposed manager refused to do anything about the box or even replace it. This is a standard scam & if you fall for it just understand that they arent going to take any responsibility for their actions or bad products.

Love it. Always clean, nice staff. Great place to families

If you love nature and healthy nutrition this is a great place to visit whether there is a festival or not. Be prepared for a bit of a ride to get there. Its worth the time.

You are not supposed to being anything out of the park, but the experience is very full. We tried a variety or new fruit, and saw a lot of neat plants! Deffinetly take the free tour, they are very knowledgable and will show yout even more neat things!

Very informative, great to be able to taste such a variety of things. Tour guide Brad was excellent.

You might see a lot or not much depending on season you go there. We enjoyed walking through the park. I particularly enjoyed seeing Baobab tree since it doesnt grow in state Im from.

Their online store is an absolutely rip off. Everything is over price yet the quality is poor. What I can get from a local asian supermarket is 1/5 of the price and better. Save your money and go to local store. And the way they list the weight of their items are also misleading with a huge range and what you get is always on the small side. Plus, they refuse to refund anything so if you got some rotten fruit, the best you can get is some partial credit which can’t be combined with other promotions and forceS you to spend more on their website.

Very great place to learn about plants and relaxing as well. Your guides are absolutely fantastic!

Excellent place for fun and discovery. A cooler filled with drinks and a small pocket knife is a must have for this adventure. The knife is only to slice open dropped fruit, and is not intended for use on the plants directly.

This is my most favorite place to visit for a fun relaxing day outdoors. I love the tropical fruits, especially when the mangos are in season. This is really a hidden gem in south Florida.

Nice botanic garden focused on tropical edibles. They have a whole row of of different types of mango trees from around the world, a similar collection of banana varieties, plus an assortment of uncommon tropical fruits (Breadfruit, many varieties of star fruit, dragon fruit, and the list goes on and on). We enjoyed our visit and are glad we stopped. The plants here are generally better marked than those at some botanic gardens.

Cute idea, i love that you can eat fruit that has fallen! I did not find any that were edible and the park is pretty small but overall pleasant.

This is a beautiful well maintained park. When you want to escape the city life for a while this is a perfect place to visit .The variety of fruit and nut trees is awesome.

If you are a local or visiting the Redlands, you have to check out Fruit & Spice Park. You are sure to find it educating and enjoyable.

This park in awesome. When you walk into the office they have different fruit samples for you to try. The tour guide was great, you taste some of the fruit as you go thru. They even recommend you stop at Robert is Here fruit stand. Which was great by the way.

Very relaxing place great for families and couples looking to have a relaxing day

If you love plants and youre interested in learning about tropical fruits this place will be great for you. Its very informative actually also if youre lucky on the day you choose there might be a festival happening. I love this place

Despite the brutal heat and humidity, this was a fascinating off the beaten path place to stop for a couple of hours. Just about any kind of exotic fruit tree and herb you can imagine are planted in this sprawling park; even stuff youve likely never heard off. There are small samples available at the visitors center and a cafe is located on the grounds. Definitely worth the trek if you are in Miami or the southern Florida area.

Just want to come back and spend more time in this environement...

Simply amazing. Great atmosphere. A wide variety of fruits. Great education on different types of fruits.

Lots of space, interesting plants, spices and fruit trees. Beautiful.

The tram tour is part of the entrance fee, check times b4 you go. Also a beautiful place to just walk around and be with the trees and flowers and fruit. You can eat fruit that is ON THE GROUND but cannot take anything out of the park. Lots of plant sales and festivals are also held here.

Fantastic park!!! We got there in time for a tour on the tram with Iva. She was a wealth of knowledge and super friendly. We loved our tour and learned a lot. The gift shop had fruit samples and unique angels that staff created from fallen for and nuts. I got a couple of creations to take home and revert the trip. The cafe next door had great smoothies as well.SO happy we stopped here on our trip!!!!

Fun park where you can hunt for tropical fruit. You are only supposed to eat what is fallen on the ground. Its a pretty large park at 37 acres with many varieties of fruit trees so theres always something in season. Its a great place especially for folks from up north who may not be familiar with tropical fruit.

It was cute experience but Im not recommend go there at winter time ! It is better go there after blossom at the end of spring! Because at winter time everything you can see is just a leafs and trees we was so excited about this park but kind of disappointed because of season I bet it is amazing summer time! So better planed your trip there in march at least! But passion fruit smoothie is the best! Try it is you there! Also place very close to other interesting places like gators and orchid park!

Only had the chance to have lunch from Mango Café,with this view, due to hour long lightning storms. The lunch delicious, especially the personal pizza.

Ive been to the Fruit and Spice park on many occasions, today was the annual Orchid Show. It rained all day, but it was still worth the trip. They had vendors from all over the world, and the food court had a good variety. But the park itself is an interesting place to visit. Youll see plants youve never even heard of before and if you take the time, you can educate yourself. Dont be in a hurry. Go there to look and learn!

Well worth the admission fee. So interesting!!

One of the treasures you must see. We have been there a couple of times. Kids will love the adventure.

Its ok for spending a couple of hours enjoying the scenery. Wish the tour provided more information about the plants and trees, and also share a bit of the history about the place. After the train tour there is no much else to do here. The cafeteria next door could be more enticing. Went in to grab a bite and left inmediately. Nothing seemed appetizing nor worth my money.

I Order from Miami Fruit. It was Horrible! It was my first time ordering.. and I got varieties.. Every single one of my fruits was first dry rotten and premature. I got oranges a size of a nickel and banana size as my finger it is horrible. Will never order from this company again. They’re very expensive and the service is horrible the fruits was a waste of time your best to go to your local market

Nice county park for self tour of different tropical fruit and spices. Take someone who is familiar with these fruit to truly enjoy it.

Loved it its beautiful accessable parking.Great place to learn about all sorts of plans and fruit.One can try the fruit as well.The staff is sweet and respectful.Great experience.

Wow!!!! I just fell in love. Nature at its best. Take the tour. You get to learn and try so much. Great for pictures. Small crowd but everyone was so nice. Would love to come back. Amazing staff...cant thank them enough for providing great service and care for the park.

Awesome. I visited when the Astrological Society, had an event, very cool. Thank you, I had a great time.

Park is not opened every day. Drove 1.5 hrs and park closed

I came here not expecting such a lovely day! I honestly thought I was going to come here to just walk around. Instead we were welcomed by a staff member who let us sample exotic tropical fruits. We then took a tour that was around $7 per person and learned so much about different plants and fruits! After the tour we walked around and collected some of our own fruit to try. We relaxed at one of the picnic tables with our fresh lechie, mango and coconuts.

Nice to walk around and look at all the amazing fruit trees. They also have a lot of events that you can attend.

We went to the orchid show here which we heard is the biggest orchid show in the world. A lot to see and choose from if youre wanting to get any orchids.

Wow beautiful place make sure to take the tour on the trolley you will learn all about the fruits and spices growing from the trees, careful not to eat something you dont know about so you dont get poisoned!

This was by far the highlight of our trip!we spent a total of two weeks in Florida traveling the keys and the gulf coast and the vol of our side quests into natural or botanical gardens are parks, this takes the cake!!Its $10 to go on a tour of the grounds and it is worth triple that. You cant pick fruit, but you can eat anything (that you can confidently ID) off the ground. Iva was our tour guide and she was a wealth of knowledge about the plants their uses and where in the world they came from. She was very excited to share with us what she knew and we loved learning from her. I absolutely recommend that you take time to visit this gem thats off the normal path.

I truly enjoyed the fruit festival! The mangoes, avocados and basically everything was absolutely wonderful. We definitely will return!

Awesome blues day with food and music. Ton of people and good vibes

My husband and I had an amazing experience here. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and, knowledgeable. They were so hospitable. Joanne, our tour guide was friendly, witty and warm. We learned so much from her and the other two staff members. Thank you!!

The friendliest and most knowledgeable folks work here. They have a tram driven tour during the day, or you can walk the grounds. Taste various fruits for free inside the main building, or enjoy any of the fallen fruit on the grounds. A beautiful way to spend an afternoon.

Great diversity and a beautiful park. They let you walk throughout the trees and you are allowed to try fruit throughout the park as long as you dont pick it. The labeling left a little to be desired, but overall a great way to see a worlds worth of fruit trees in an afternoon.

Cool place. For somebody from central america like me brings u back home woth the assortments of trees and fruits

There is admission fee. They have samples inside the entrance/gift shop. The park is large with lots of varieties of tropical exotic fruits such as jackfruit, jambu wax apple, sapotes, bananas, mangos, etc. The rule is you cant pick off the tree. If it falls on its own, you are allowed to eat the fruit. Be careful because some may be toxic.Make sure to bring a paring knife to peel and open the fruits. Lots of mosquitos as well. It is nearby tropical fruit farms nearby as well. They have a handout of suggested farms for purchasing fruits.

Such a beautiful park. Cute waterfall and bright flowers.

It was a different.experience. the kids loved it amd we got.to try the fruits.

Very open has a great feel to the place. A water feature, band area, picnic tables, lots of fruit trees including bananas and has a small cafe where you can purchase lunch or coffee. The place is sort of way out in the middle of nowhere if your coming from Miami or the Aventura area of Florida but was a nice place to visit. Very hot days should be avoided as the trees do offer shelter but if your working in the park your gonna be hot and sweaty.

A hidden jewel in South Florida

Amazing fruit trees with great variety! You can eat anything thats fallen on the ground too, just make sure not to pick or damage the trees

Great place to take younger children to learn about different fruits and spices. Good learning experience. Great to just get away from the city.

Beautiful place to spend an afternoon, (or early morning because Florida is hot)

Love this horse friendly park. Great ride to lunch. Fabulous lunch. Horses even enjoyed the chips! Meet old friends and make new friends. Tie outs are nicely built. Large outdoor picnic tables can also be used as mounting blocks.

Great family activity! Large land full of gorgeous fruits and cool spices. Best part is you can try any food on the floor, but just be careful not to pick from the trees,

Botanical garden 500 varieties of fruit, vegetables24801 SW. 187 ave Homestead Fl

Such a wonderful, unique place! The tour is informative and fun, and you get to try all kinds of unusual tropical fruits. They have samples at the entrance, and you can eat whatever you find on the ground walking through the park.

This place is really unique. I hope to go back and try the cafe.

Great place to walk with the family. Take water and an umbrella.

Loved it! Beautiful place with lots od exotic plants and spices. Take the free bus ride tour. The nearby nurseries are also great to find different plants!!

We went a little after 4 o’clock (closes at 5) and honestly didn’t expect to be able to walk the land, but I still wanted to ask because it’s my favorite place in Miami. They let us in, were super polite & this was my best experience visiting. The woman working gave me an avocado to take home as we were leaving. It’s my birthday today and she didn’t even know it, and it honestly made my entire day. The same guy is always working there which makes me feel like he really knows what he’s talking about. He’s so polite, as well as the other staff members. This place is beyond kid friendly and a foodie heaven. I’ve never had a bad experience here

Great place to visit... Different and refreshing!!

Interesting. Tram tour full of information. Tasted a bunch of fruits.

One of my favorite places to go. The park is incredibly stocked with cool, useful plants youve never heard of and the staff is very happy to tell you all about them. You get to taste whats in season at the entrance building for no extra cost. The tour is good or fantastic, depending on who is giving it. In the cool months I love to bring my dog here and stroll around. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful garden, fascinating plants and the tour guide was full of great info.

Here for the Asian Culture Festival! The park is beautiful and it is the perfect showcase for the shows, crafts, and delicious food. Even if you just grab a snack and walk around looking at the fruit trees, native plants, and ponds, it is a great way to spend the day.

My husband and I had a great tour. We got to taste a lot of exotic fruit. The park is well maintained and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. A fun afternoon of learning about trees, plants, seeds. Would visit here often if I lived in Florida.

Amazing place to have a long walk with fruit to enjoy, best time is during the season

Totally underrated. Walk around and enjoy any fruit you find on the ground. Perfect for a family day out.

Fruit and Spice park is very educational and of course, they share with you the different spices of life from the different trees. Sampling is also included. It was a treat within itself. There is such a variety of fruit and the history behind it.

Went to the Asian cultural fair. It was very nice time with beautiful shows all day long. Good food too.

Amazing fruits from all over the world along with interesting facts and knowledge about them. The Mango Cafe there has an incredible menu with high quality ingredients that produces meals that will never disappoint. They also have at least one event a month with my 2 favorite ones, Summer Fruit Tastings and Mango Madness. Highly recommended for school children, anyone who has a garden or has been thinking about one and a must see for the mango lover.
