With wetlands, orchids, and mangroves, native gardens, edible plants, and so much more, there's a lot to see at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Highlights include the bright red bridge in the Japanese Garden, the ponds spotted with water lilies, and the beautiful banyan tree.
Though garden entry is complimentary, some special events— including the garden's popular weekly yoga classes—require paying a separate fee. Guided tours are ideal for horticulture fans, and self-guided audio tours offer rich information about the garden's signature plantings. Since the Miami Beach Botanical Garden is next door to the Holocaust Memorial, and these two Miami Beach sights share a parking lot, you can park once and easily see both in one day.
