Everglades Wonder Gardens - Bonita Springs, FL


Everglades Wonder Gardens, 27180 Old U.S. 41, Bonita Springs. Open daily: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (239) 992-2591



Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Everglades Wonder Gardens in Bonita Springs, Florida. The attraction is celebrating its 71st anniversary and is owned by David Piper, Jr., whose grandfather founded the zoological and botanical park.

The gardens have a mature tree canopy with a diverse display of native Florida plants, trees and flowers. There are many animals on display, including variety crocodiles, alligators, turtles, snakes, iguanas, peacock, deer, and bears, to name a few.

The gift shop building features a museum dedicated to Florida’s natural history.

When travelling in the Naples area, I highly recommend a visit to Everglades Wonder Gardens and enjoy a visit to one of Florida’s original natural attractions.
