Wow, what a worthwhile trip! The parking lot, to begin with, is big, clean and usually not too busy around the early afternoon of 11 am. Entry into the Gardens is a mere 21 bucks and oh boy is it fricken worth it. Just the sheer scenery of contained but protected nature alone is rather breath taking but when you take into account the aviary? The other animal exhibit? The little stops you can make in between for refreshments? The Native FL Indian Exhibit? The, I believe Keaton called museum, which was closed but nice to look at? Heck, even the wild birds and peacocks? Worth every penny, it was fun, energizing, and I'd highly recommend giving this place a shot if you're staying in the area! My personal favorite parts of the Gardens were the GINORMOUS trees, Alligator Snapping turtle, Puma, and Birds of prey exhibit!
