Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden: Winter Garden Strolls & Butterfly Conservatory

About this adventure

Spanning 83 verdant acres in Coral Gables, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is internationally acclaimed for its world-class collection of rare tropical palms, cycads, flowering trees, and sunken rain-forest exhibits. Winter in South Florida brings mild temperatures and blossoming tropical flora, making a stroll through the wide, paved paths an absolute pleasure for multi-generational families. A major favorite for kids is 'Wings of the Tropics' inside the Clinton Family Conservatory, where thousands of vibrant, free-flying tropical butterflies flutter through lush rainforest greenery and land on visitors' clothing. Families can also embark on a relaxing 45-minute narrated open-air tram tour that weaves around tranquil freshwater lakes, ancient baobab trees, and Dale Chihuly glass art installations. Paved walkways are exceptionally stroller-friendly with abundant shaded benches, manicured lawns for toddlers to explore, and the Glasshouse Café serving kid-friendly lunches.
