    It was a gorgeous day for our Valencia Sound Orchid Club to visit Flamingo Gardens today in Davie. This was my first time here. This is a wildlife sanctuary filled with amazing birds, peacocks, flamingos, as well as magnificent grounds filled with ancient trees of all varieties, orchids, succulents, cactus. We took a guided tram ride through the thick of it which was about a half hour and walked through a butterfly pavilion. There's live music and areas to sit. It's a photographer's paradise. I loved the serenity. I'm amazed at all the beauty surrounding us in the middle of all the new construction going on. Thank goodness the animals and plants have this sanctuary.

    Great gardens, animals and included tram ride around the back of the 50 acres and butterfly garden. There are a ton of different trees and flowers across the property in addition to birds and gators. We really enjoyed the afternoon here and there is pretty of shade for the hot summer days as well. We spent about 3 hours here and could have taken longer since we skipped a few exhibits this time and rode the tram. They also have a snack bar and gift shop.

    Wonderful place lots of birds!!!! Highly recommended for adults and children!!! ................

    Attended the winter wonderland Extravaganza with family and friends. Wonderful show of holiday lights with many photo opportunities. Live music, s'mores station, Santa and much more. The park is beautiful. Looking forward to visiting during the day. I do feel the price is a little high for a family of five adults.

    The most amazing flamingo garden in Davie! I've visited this place many times, and it's a beautiful garden with lots of flamingos, peacocks, and other animals and birds. It's perfect to visit with kids, family, friends, or even alone to explore the beautiful nature. They have live music on weekends, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The price is affordable, and there is always parking available, even on busy weekends.

    I think a blue heron?

    This place is wonderful. The birds are so cool. Such an amazing location. Definitely would be a cool place. If you had a wedding the flamingo were all there. The birds were wild. It was so nice to see them out. Lots of peacocks everywhere there in the trees, walking all over the place it was really beautiful.

    A Hidden Gem of South Florida's Natural Beauty! Flamingo Gardens is one of those rare places that feels like stepping into a little slice of paradise. It's part botanical garden, part wildlife sanctuary, and all-around a must-see for anyone visiting or living in South Florida. From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by lush tropical plants, towering trees, and the sound of native birds. The flamingos are, of course, the stars of the show -- elegant, colorful, and surprisingly friendly. But there's so much more to see: butterflies, turtles, otters, peacocks, and even alligators, all cared for in a way that feels educational and respectful. The narrated tram tour is a great way to learn about the history of the gardens and the variety of native and exotic plants growing here. Families will love it, but it's also peaceful enough for a quiet stroll or a relaxing day date. The staff and volunteers are knowledgeable, kind, and clearly passionate about conservation and the animals. Whether you're a local or a tourist, Flamingo Gardens is a beautiful reminder of how special Florida's natural world really is.

    I actually thought this was one of the best small zoo experience I've been to. The tram is free and you get a 25 minute tour of the estate. It's beautiful and they do a really good job keeping the place pretty. There are flamingos, turtles, and birds of different types. Peacocks walking everywhere - there is even an albino one! Private lot for the Gardens - fits maybe 20-30 cars

    We've lived in Florida for 4 years and have heard about Flamingo gardens but never had the opportunity to visit. We decided to bring the kids here over the Christmas holiday season as the weather is much more comfortable for outdoor adventures activities. Today (12/29/25) was no exception. Flamingo gardens is a 60 acre wildlife and botanical sanctuary. If you have a few hours to kill, the $24 admission is worth it. It's a not for profit organization founded in 1927 and what started as an Orange grove, it's still going strong today evolving into a nature and wildlife preserve. Grounds are beautiful and there is a team that is included with admission. You can also feed the flamingos and buy flamingo food at ticketing for $1. Lots to see so come and enjoy a day with nature.

    Tonight Flamingo Gardens hosted the Hoffman's Chocolates Winter Wonderland extravaganza. Paid $24 to wonder through the tropical oasis with live birds in their cages surrounded by lit Christmas displays. Took about 45 minutes on foot to see everything. The two parking lots fill up quickly and recommend a later time slot unless you want a bunch of little kids running everywhere. They had a few food trucks but nothing spectacular. Bathroom pavilion at the back of the park. Fun time here with friends.

    Flamingo Gardens has much to offer. It's a 60 acre botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary. It features tropical and sub-tropical plants from around the world. I enjoyed seeing an all of the orchids that were in bloom. Make sure to see the Wildlife encounter that takes place there times a day. They showcased a baby gator and an owl while I was there. The wildlife sanctuary is home to the largest collection of Florida native wildlife in the state. They have a good sized gift shop and snack bar. For food, they have smoothies, cold sandwiches, hot dogs, chili and nachos . Flamingo Gardens has tropical plants for sale as well.

    Fun evening with friends looking at the beautiful Christmas light displays with plenty of photo ops. Although, the price of $24 per person was a little steep for admission.

    This is a beautiful garden park, which has been here for many many years. They have a nice tram ride, which takes you around the park where you see beautiful trees, and flowers. They also have wildlife talks where you get to see some of the wildlife in the park. you also see flamingos and peacocks while strolling through the park. there's much history here and it's a nice way to spend the day.

Since they were inexpensive to build soon everyone was constructing them for residents and visitors alike. They were constructed of Dade County pine and had indoor plumbing and running water. They measured 25 feet by 35 feet. Some had a beach view and ranged from one to three bedrooms. At their height of popularity there were 150 of them. All of the cottages were white with playing card suites cut of out their shutters. Houses cost under a thousand dollars to build and you could rent one for as little as $29 a month. I wish you could still get beach front property for that amount. The two Kester cottages owned by the Pompano Beach Historical Society were donated to them by Kester's nephew Stewart. They were moved from their original location to Founders Park behind the Historical Society building. Usually they are locked up but they open them for tours when they do the once a month historical trolley tour. The next time the cottages will be open is on January 12 from 9 to 10 AM. The cottages are filled with historical items from Pompano Beach's history. If you can't tour them they have a wonderful 3-D virtual tour on the website they have have set up for the cottages. One other Kester cottage remains on the grounds of the Butler House in Deerfield Beach.

Hearst, was the original proprietor of the monestary when it arrived in the United States. They insist that photos can only be taken from Wednesday to Saturday, and you must schedule an appointment with a fee of nearly $400 to take portraits or photographs. The woman at the front desk was preventing us from entering the monastery without discarding any equipment that can be used for taking photos. I will add that she was extremely rude, yelling at me and my mother when we were clearly unaware of the rule. Don't come here; it's a complete waste of time; the history is very fascinating, and the building seems to be relatively well kept, but they not only charge you for entry, but additionally charge for you to take photos. $400 mandatory. There are many other beautiful historic places around Miami to visit; I would never recommend going here. Save yourself the $410 and go to the nearby lighthouse, or early 1890s church in Miami instead. The Art Deco District is also very nice. The fact that they charge an exorbitant fee to enter the premises for taking photographs is highly reminiscent of the exact reason why Martin Luther had nailed his list to the door of the Catholic Church. God frowns upon an institution that calls itself religious and charges up the wazoo for people to share information about it. To the people running this facility: do better. Be nicer. Let people explore and interact with this treasure.

One such 1920s beauty is the 1924 Curci House built by Frank and Rosina Curci, a pioneer family who came to the area in 1907 with their three small children. The house is located in the city of Hallandale which has four heritage and one historic site. The family struggled when they arrived at SW 5th Avenue and West Dixie Highway but they put in work and became prosperous from farming tomatoes and fruit and later on they opened a construction business. The Curci's eventually had eleven children and Mr. Curci spoke five languages and was an accomplished musician. "Villa Providence" was the couples dream home which they built on their eleven acre property. It was constructed from concrete filled terra cotta block walls with termite impervious Dade pine floors. They added Cuban tile details can be found throughout the house and there is glass from Italy imbedded in the outside stucco finish. The house was so well built that it was able to withstand the Great Hurricane of 1926 when it served as a refuge for many in the community. The family remained in their home until the 1950's. The home is listed on the Hallandale website as being open on the first Saturday of every month between 11am and 4pm but they have shut it down to tours since the pandemic and never bothered to reopen although it appears that it can be rented for private events. There is a huge fence surrounding the property so for now you can only view the home from the street. It is such a disappointment to see it closed. Nearby Hollywood reopened their historic Hammerstein House and Hallandale should consider doing the same.

This is made of wood, and looks quite old and unique - see my pictures for a peak! I could not find out the age of this building - maybe you can, and if you find out, please lmk! ____________________________________________________________________ Some history about Davie - The first permanent settlers of the Town of Davie arrived in 1909 from the Panama Canal Zone and later from states such as Illinois, Michigan, and Kentucky. They were drawn to the area because of the efforts by the State of Florida to drain the swamp land; the land was cheap with an ideal climate, and the richness of the soil. Many of these settlers arrived by way of train and boat. Travel was very slow because of the lack of roads from established towns and villages. The northern settlers traveled via railroad to Jacksonville, by the Florida East Coast Railroad to Fort Lauderdale. Once in Fort Lauderdale, the travelers would have to travel by boat to reach the Davie area, known in that time as "Zona." The first settlers elected to name this area "Zona" because of the influence of the settlers from the Panamanian Canal Zone. By 1914, approximately 250 people called Davie home. Originally, the Davie Farm at Zona, Florida consisted of 2,000 acres purchased from the State by Everglades Sugar and Land, Co., and subdivided into smaller acreages. The land had not been thoroughly drained resulting in the early settlers having to contend with persistent flooding and local wildlife. The first homes were constructed of lumber and tar paper and could not withstand the rain and thunderstorms. The hurricanes and storms of September 1926 were pivotal in the development of Davie as most of the homes were lost that year. By the end of 1926, most homes were constructed of concrete block to better withstand inclement weather. The Town of Davie's proud culture stems from of its most recognizable landmarks, the Old Davie School and the Rodeo Arena. Old Davie School is the oldest existing school in Broward County. The school was opened in 1918 with 90 students. The school is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Davie Rodeo Arena was constructed by 17 residents in 1946. In 1925, Zona was renamed in R.P. Davie's honor as the Town of Davie, having purchase a significant amount land in the area. Davie was originally incorporated in 1925, but later dissolved during the following legislative session to avoid taxation resulting from the incorporation. The Town was again incorporated in 1961 with less than 2,000 residents. By the mid 1970s, the Town of Davie had over 12,000 residents. By the 1990s, the Town population exploded to over 47,217 residents. Today, Davie boasts a population of over 92,000 residents.
