We visited A World of Orchids in the summer of 2011 so my review is a wee bit late. I will have to agree with most of the reviews stating that the place needs work. If you are staying in Kissimmee or even Orlando and are only a short distance from the location I would say to stop by just... More

This was about 15 min. from our hotel so decided to check it out. The road going to it is under construction but can still get to it. No admission fee and we just walked in not seeing anyone. The front is the shop area with orchids to purchase along with other items. The back is very run down and... More

Happy we only drove 3 miles to get here. I didn't know about them being hit by Hurricane Charlie in 2004 & not having insurance to cover the damage. It explains why the gallery is almost empty of orchids & in disrepair. The gift shop has the best orchids, but even they are limited. Don't drive more than 5 miles... More

We visited World of Orchids in Kissimmee, FL this morning. They have gorgeous orchids for sale, and the sales room is a nice place to visit. Many other orchid related items for sale as well. However, the orchid gardens are sadly in need of many repairs. We visited several years ago when the paint was new, parrots were on perches,... More

As orchid home growers we enjoyed our visit to World of Orchids. From the previous reviews we discovered that it has been through a lot. Still it has an old world charm to it. And the orchids in the front are beautiful and well worth seeing. Only wish that we could have taken a plant or 2 back to New... More

Although there were a few orchids inside the front building, the garden area was devoid of flowers. More

Was here about 10 years ago and it was very nice. Unfortunately They were hit by Hurricane Charlie in 2004 and didn't have the insurance to cover the damages. The Indoor garden is in total disrepair and the roof is missing many panels. The AC unit they had in the garden is falling down and looks like it could drop... More

We see the signs and pass by World of Orchids all the time…..we put it on our list of places to go. I should have checked the reviews first! We did not even get out of the car!!! I guess it's free (????) but, it looked closed down and scary. More

The entrance is free to the public and there is a big garden with a lot fishes in the pond. I'm a orchid lover and I have several orchids that I buy & collect. I've had been in this place to buy orchids from them and the price is reasonable and a lot of variety of orchid. More

I only wish I had read other reviews on Tripadvisor BEFORE I went. I am an amateur orchid grower but I have more, AND BETTER, orchids in my 10 x 20 ft greenhouse ! I can only echo the more recent reviews : run down, dilapidated greenhouses, about ten orchids worth buying and these were on the expensive side. When... More
