## About

Spanning 50 serene botanical acres along the shores of Lake Rowena just north of Downtown Orlando, Harry P. Leu Gardens offers an enchanting outdoor autumn sanctuary. During Thanksgiving week, families can stroll beneath sprawling centuries-old southern live oaks draped in Spanish moss, wander through towering giant bamboo groves, and admire late-autumn camellias and hibiscus in peak bloom.

Children receive a complimentary 'Botanical Turkey & Garden Wildlife' scavenger hunt map at the Welcome Center, guiding them along wide, stroller-friendly paved walkways to discover hidden wooden wildlife sculptures and exotic plants. Shaded lawns provide idyllic settings for peaceful family picnics, and the air-conditioned visitor center features clean restrooms with changing tables.
