As South Florida’s Cultural Arts Park, it features over 1,000 varieties of rare and exotic tropical plants and palm trees in a native tropical hardwood and cypress setting. Its dramatic landscape, enhanced with natural streams, caves, and fissures, provides the most dramatic stage for our historically designated structures and buildings.

The barn comprises five animal holding areas, a general staff work area, and a storage room adjacent to the main space.
The park prospered over the years and under new management, drawing over one million guests to its Pinecrest location, now known as Pinecrest Gardens. This milestone was accomplished over 66 years. The landmark was relocated to its current waterside location on Watson Island in 2002, between Downtown Miami and Miami Beach.
