Narrated Tram Tour
Enjoy a narrated tram ride through 42 remote acres at Flamingo Gardens. Visit some of the last original jungle growth in South Florida that still remains as it has for over 100 years, much as it would have appeared when Seminole Indians occupied it. Travel through a unique native hammock of 200 year-old Live Oaks, a tropical rainforest, and the tropical fruit groves. See the mitigated wetlands where we release many of the juvenile birds that are born in the Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary.
Passengers may disembark the Tram at the Wetlands Walkway and/or at the Pioneer Walkway to walk around the lake and see the wildlife, or wander along the Pioneer Walkway to discover native Florida plants.
