Enjoyed our time with the kids. We love the floral sceneries. The best part are those tiny cute houses! And also the floral formation dragon. Will definitely come back. Ticket prices are fantastic. Just the parking fee is too much for $20. Overall, its a wonderful experience.

My husband and I went to the Floral Showhouse after thanksgiving and it was beautiful and full of lovely colours. We enjoyed looking at their tropical plant collection and their cactuses. We also appreciated their outdoor garden sculptures like the bees and the dragon. It’s also a perfect location to take pictures! Highly recommend to all plant lovers.

The experience and plantings were very different than your standard bota...
