Light dapples through thick canopies onto beautiful flower beds - all kinds of tropical trees, plants and flowers ... it is just simply beautiful. This is a great place for a quiet walk through with your better half and also for taking tons of great photos. There are a few maccaws (sp?) and another kind of bird that I can't remember the name of that makes that unmistakeable bird call in all the deep forest movies. I want to say a kookaburra but I really can't remember. There is also a flamingo pool and a butterfly house. This really is just a stunning place.

It is very near (almost in) downtown, making it even that much more amazing.

Sunken Gardens is an "Old Florida" attraction that has been nicely updated, and some renovations are still in progress. The new entrance is adjacent to the (new location of the) Great Explorations museum and a combination ticket is available. Discount coupons for $1 off admission are in most tourist guides. It's now open seven days a week. We especially enjoyed the Butterfly Garden and the Butterfly Enclosure, and at the time of our visit the bouganvilla was in spectacular bloom. Garden tours are available, but we spent 2-3 hours wandering on our own. There are plenty of photo opportunities; a bridge, waterfalls, wishing well, and a special photo spot near the wedding grounds.
