Having just been at a botanical park on Maui, I expected that this park would not be able to exceed it. I would say it definately matched it in both how well it is kept and also the education provided. There is plenty of unusual plants to see and also a walking trail. Our group of 4 all really enjoyed... More

My review is based on a short visit as part of Cayman Safari Adventures tour (see my other review). I was surprised to find myself in a well maintained and beautiful botanic garden (this has happened before in differerent parts of the world) and it turnded out one of the highlights of our day in Grand Cayman. Our visit concentrated... More

see the iguanas, check out the flora and fauna. Good place to visit if it is just too hot as there are some lovely places to sit. Take a picnic as there isn't a cafe there anymore More

We were actually excited to do some exploring at the Botanic Park - take a day away from the beach. We paid our entry fee, walked in, and, well, it was nothing special. The mile walk around the park was not scenic - it is winter, so nothing was blooming. Even the iguanas looked disinterested. Saw one snake, he lookede... More

I was pleasantly surprised by the Botanical Gardens. (The photographers in our family wanted to go, and since I was the designated driver for the wrong side of the road, I drove.) The gardens and the wildlife (iguanas and various birds) were terrific. Saw native wild parrots as soon as we got to the parking lot. Then great displays of... More

Nature and wildlife buffs--see blue iguana, agouti, Cayman parrots, humongous caterpillars, orchids. Beautiful gardens and unusual animals and plants. You are advised to look under your car before you move it in case blue iguana (native only to the Caymans) are underneath. More

Nice way to spend some time away from the beach. Nice stretch of the legs (prepare for 1.5 - 2 hours), beautiful grounds, & saw numerous blue iguanas. More

We were so happy that we went to see the botanical garden. Not only were the flowers and grounds beautiful and interesting, but we especially enjoyed seeing the blue iguanas. We recommend taking the woodland trail because we saw some of the iguanas along the way. Allow ample time to really enjoy this wonderful location. More
