Fodor's Review:

Sunken Gardens is a 100-year-old botanical paradise. Check out photos of its colorful past in the gift shop. Explore the cascading waterfalls and koi ponds, and walk through the butterfly house and exotic gardens where more than 50,000 tropical plants and flowers thrive amid groves of some of the area's most spectacular palm trees. The on-site restaurant and hands-on kids' museum make this place a family favorite.

  • Cost: $8
  • Open: Mon.-Sat. 10-4:30, Sun. noon-4:30

A very enjoyable park-like garden spot, with lots of exotic trees, flowers, and plants. Also has nice ponds and waterfalls as well as a butterfly collection. Very enjoyable place to wander and commune with (OK, planned) nature. Well worth a visit.
