Flamingo Gardens

Flamingo Gardens is a 60-acre botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary that showcases a diverse collection of subtropical plants and animals native to Florida. Originally established in the 1920s, it features lush landscapes, exotic birds, alligators, and a historic home, the Wray Home Museum, providing insights into the region’s past. Visit the aviary for a close encounter with flamingos and other birds, and don’t miss the free-roaming peacocks. Early morning or late afternoon are optimal for quieter exploration, and the gardens are conveniently located just a short drive from the bustling Fort Lauderdale Strip, making it an easy addition to your itinerary.
