I visited here with friends and we all enjoyed seeing such beautiful trails with flowers and plants. I got to go free, but I think there is a small entry priced. They also have a delightful gift shop. More

Bring your camera - it's like being in a tropical paradise. They also have a cafe where we had lunch - food was surprisingly good. The only thing I would mention is the day we went they advised we wear mosquito repellent. We would have gone on another day had we realized it was that kind of day. Still, if... More

Attractive gardens, plants, flowers for 1-2 hours of pleasant walking around. Boasts world's largest wooden table which is very long. It is on the outskirts of Vero Beach which has some magnificent beaches. More

Here is another Waldo original. Originally this was a "jungle attraction" with monkeys and birds. Today it's a botanical garden with lovey walkways and terrific lilies and orchids. Catch the special events when you can. This spring they had a Muscle Car show on the premises. The restaurant is a good place for lunch in a lush setting. Just off... More

Originally built in 1922 as McKee Jungle gardens, this tropical delight along the Indian River is an unusual and relaxing respite from a day at the beach. You will feel like you have stepped back in time, and are walking through a rain forest. There are18 acres of native plants, an incredible Bamboo Pavilion filled with many different types of... More

Historical McKee Botanical Gardens are certainly worth the visit and the sculptures on display just enhanced the self guided walking tour. What a great way to spend a few hours in the early morning or late afternoon. The plantings of heliconias, gingers, palms and oh let's not forget the orchids and the begonias were are wonderful treat for the eyes.... More
