Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is a sprawling, immaculately maintained tropical garden on Old Cutler Road in Coral Gables, home to an exceptional variety of palms, tropical species, and a butterfly exhibition. Sign up for the complimentary tram tour (departs hourly) when you buy your ticket — it covers the full grounds and the guides are notably knowledgeable and entertaining. Plan for a full day: the garden is larger than most visitors expect, and much of the walking is in open sun with only patches of shade.
