Visit: Flamingo Gardens, 3750 S Flamingo Rd, Davie, FL 33330-1698
Your admission to Flamingo Gardens takes you into a 60-acre (24-hectare) wildlife sanctuary with tropical botanical gardens and a large group of Florida's native rescued critters such as alligators, eagles, otters, bear, bobcats, panthers, peacocks, and, of course, flamingos.
Explore the Wray Botanical Garden’s subtropical plants and trees, which features some of the largest examples of their species in Florida. Then stroll through the Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary where more than 80 native creatures live. Watch an expert handler present a wildlife encounter show featuring the birds of prey and reptiles. You'll learn more about their lives in Florida’s habitat.
Stroll through theme gardens such as the Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden, where you may glimpse species like the ruby-throated hummingbird, the South American malachite butterfly, and the very rare pink-spot sulfur butterfly. See orchids, bromeliads, and other air plants that hang among the branches in a grove of live oaks that are upwards of 200 years old.
Marvel at feathered friends in the 25,000-square-foot aviary, which is home to one of America’s largest collections of wading birds. Five Everglades ecosystems are represented: coastal prairie, cypress forest, mangrove swamp, subtropical hardwood hammock, and sawgrass prairie.
Caribbean flamingos parade around at Flamingo Pond, a favorite spot for visitors. The Bird of Prey Center houses owls, hawks, falcons, and golden and bald eagles.
You can also tour the Wray Museum, located in the former home of the family who owned this land. Built in 1933, the residence has been restored to provide a glimpse of life in a typical South Florida country home from the 1930s.
Your admission includes a tram ride with informative commentary plus exclusive access to 42 remote acres of Flamingo Gardens, with some of the last original jungle growth in South Florida. Ride through a tropical rainforest, 200-year-old live oaks, and tropical fruit groves. Then pass by the wetland area where juvenile birds born in the wildlife sanctuary are released. The tour lasts approximately 25 minutes, leaving every hour throughout the day.
If you get hungry during your visit, snacks and beverages can be purchased at the marketplace and cafe on the grounds.

Fabulous time spent in a beautiful setting. Everyone who we dealt with there was friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed fully. Happy knowing this was more a sanctuary than a zoo. They care for animals that cannot be released into the wild. Beautiful botanicals. Will go back!

I was pleasantly surprised at my experience at Flamingo Gardens. The grounds are immaculate. The staff is well informed. Be sure to take the tram tour to see all of the grounds and the Butterfly Pavillion. The Wilderness Experience was great! The staff was informative and amusing. A wonderful way to spend 3-4 hours.

My friend and I got off of a cruise to the Caribbean and we had plenty of time to do this excursion. I loved the beautiful plants and trees and flowers and especially of course the flamingos!

Enjoyed our time wandering the gardens and animal exhibits. Great way to spend a couple hours before our flight out of Fort Lauderdale Airport, only 20 minutes away.

Check in was not smooth because they said that I had a “third party” ticket. The tour was interesting. We did take a lot of pictures. The trail maps were a little confusing. Our guide did a good job.
