Surrounded by thousands of acres of tropical agriculture, the Park is a jewel in South Florida’s agricultural community attracting over 50,000 visitors a year to its gardens and festivals. More than 500 varieties of exotic fruits, herbs, spices and nuts from around the world; 180 varieties of mangos; 70 varieties of bamboo; 40 varieties of bananas; 15 varieties of jackfruit trees and numerous other exotic edibles are grown and maintained here.
Park Highlights
Located about an hour’s drive from Downtown Miami, Fruit & Spice Park’s subtropical oasis is filled with tall fruit trees anchored by a lovely lake with water lilies, waterfalls and a fountain.
Explore the park by winding your way along pathways and boardwalks beneath trees blossoming with avocado, mangos, sapodillas, papaya, lemons, limes, lychee, coconuts and so much more. While you can’t pick the fruit from the trees, guests are encouraged to forage along the ground for fallen fruit that you can sink your teeth into right then and there.
