Positively beautiful scenery, particularly near the waterfall areas. While there weren't too many things in bloom at the time of our visit, I was extremely impressed by everything I saw! Were I to make any complaint it would be that there was an alligator in the kid's section, but he was kind enough to let us pass without incident!

This place was so beautiful. Every plant, tree, flower was well maintained and cared for. The grounds themselves was so lovely to walk around. We brought our 2 little dogs and they seemed to like it. Plenty of room for them to walk around in the shade!

We Had our wedding here a couple of weeks ago and just wanted to say that it was amazing! Thank you so much to the Kanapaha staff for communicating in a timely manner and helping us set up for our big day. The garden itself is beautiful and always worth seeing It's also an amazing place to spend the day. We always recommend anyone who is local or visiting to stop by to see how beautiful it is themselves!

This was an unexpected find after living for years in the area. Paved walking trails, nice signage, and many places to stop, look and listen. The time of day will offer different experiences but even at mid day we saw many birds and butterflies. The admission fee is $12 per adult but wax with it. It is an all day fee do you can come, leave for lunch and return for the one fee. Plus this is a private garden maintained by a nonprofit organization do we felt ok about the fee. There are two primary trails - a one mile loop and a 1.5 mile loop.

Absolutely worth every penny of the $12 admission fee. This place is amazing! I even saw the first fuzzy bumblebee I've seen in years, and they were all over the place! There's hundreds of different plants and flowers, HUGE bamboo, lots of beautiful butterflies, and I even got video of a woodpecker digging in the dirt looking for a snack. I will definitely be back! β€οΈ
