About Flamingo Gardens

Originally established as a citrus orchard in 1927, Flamingo Gardens is one of the oldest botanical gardens and attractions in South Florida. Today, this 60-acre not-for-profit botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary preserves the natural and cultural heritage of the Everglades. The lush grounds feature over 3,000 species of rare and exotic tropical plants, including Florida’s largest collection of "Champion Trees" (the largest recorded trees of their species).

Tucked within the gardens is the Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary, which provides a safe, permanent home for the largest collection of rescued and non-releasable Florida native wildlife in the state - including panthers, bobcats, alligators, eagles, and its namesake flamingos. Visitors can also step back in time at the historic 1930s Wray Home Museum to experience early pioneer life in South Florida.

Getting There

Address:

Flamingo Gardens, 3750 S Flamingo Rd Davie, FL 33330

Located in the town of Davie, Florida, Flamingo Gardens is situated just west of Fort Lauderdale and a short drive north of Miami. The sanctuary is easily accessible and conveniently located near the intersection of Interstate 595 and Flamingo Road, making it a peaceful, natural escape just minutes away from South Florida's bustling city centers.

Getting To Flamingo Gardens

By Car: Whether you are traveling from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Palm Beach, the gardens are easily accessible via major highways, including I-95, I-75, and Florida’s Turnpike. Simply navigate to I-595 and take the exit for Flamingo Road / Hiatus Road (Exit 2 or 3, depending on your direction of travel).
By Taxi: Booking a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft, or taking a local taxi, is a highly convenient option. Because the gardens are located relatively close to major tourist hubs like downtown Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and local cruise ports, a rideshare can offer a hassle-free, direct drop-off right at the main entrance.
By Public Transportation: While public transportation does not offer a direct stop at the Flamingo Gardens entrance, you can utilize the Broward County Transit (BCT) system to get close to the area. Visitors traveling from Fort Lauderdale can take regional BCT buses (such as Route 22) to travel westward into the Davie and Plantation area.
