One of the best wintertime experiences you can have in Florida involves visiting the botanical gardens throughout the state. One might assume that visiting a botanical garden during the winter is the worst time to go, but alas…you’ll be very happy that you did. Especially when you visit Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables for its wintertime experience known as The NightGarden at Fairchild. Trust us, you do not want to miss this magical place…

Located on Biscayne Bay right near the water, you’ll find the stunning Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
