We were looking for an outside activity on a sunny morning and happened upon the fruit and spice park. We took the tram ride around the park and learned so much about many different fruits and vegetables. Our guide was interesting and informative. The day we went was uncrowded and relaxing. If you like to take photographs, you will love the flowers and plants. Some of my most beautiful photos from a month in Florida came from this park.
Nice place to visit with the family, very educational and entertaining. Take the train tour and learn about exotic plants and uses. The walk around and enjoy a stroll surrounded by nature and fresh air.
Exotic tastes and smells await you at the county park where you are encouraged to eat the scenery! We hopped on a small tram for a guided tour (which is included in the admission fee) and spent a wonderful hour with an entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. She stopped frequently to have us smell leaves and sample fruit which we didn't even know existed. My husband's favorite was something she nicknamed " the snot fruit"- based on its appearance, not taste. This park is part of an agricultural trail in the Redlands district and you can easily spend a day going from site to site. We also went to a nearby orchid nursery and a strawberry farm (u-pick was open). Fun and tasty day.
This is a great place to visit to learn about and see a wide variety of tropical plants and trees. The best part is the edible samples. The guided tours provide a good overview before waking independently around the site.
We had a nice tour on the tram of the park. Very interesting. Learned a lot about the plants and spices. Tour guide was very nice
We did not have the tram tour but instead had a walking tour with two guides. We saw and tasted new fruits for us and really enjoyed the varieties we got to try. A self guiding tour is available but you really need to take the tour with a guide to truly taste and understand the offerings. We would definitely return another time to try and learn about more different fruits and spices as they come into season.
You can eat any fruit that is on the ground (or ripe?). good tram tour, worth the wait. I would go back at another time of year to see what is going on then.
Fun few hours. Do the guided tour for sure. Get to sample different fruits. Learned some interesting things.
We arrived before 11am. We had an interesting tram ride through the park with the ability to try some of the fruit. It was fascinating to here about the story of many of the tropical fruits. You are able to walk around the park at your leisure as well and there are herbs and other plants and spices along with the fruit. It is definitely a one of a kind experience. Beware of the poisonous fruit! Our tour guide loved to tell his stories.
This was a very relaxing and interesting experience. We were lucky enough to arrive just as the tour was starting. Our tour guide, Kent, was excellent. Just the right personality. We learned a lot of facts about fruits and spices. It would not have been anywhere near as informative without the tour. A very inexpensive few hours.
