Quiet Oasis in the City

Mead Park is a favorite destination when I visit my family in Orlando. The grounds are quite extensive and it seems like this "hidden gem" is being given some attention of late. They have built a small amphitheater there and have some garden projects going...More

Not Mead Garden it is Need Garden

Don't bother. Nothing to see but rotting board walks and trash in bushes. The only butterfly we saw on the butterfly garden was the butterfly chair. Very disappointed.

Very disappointing.

No maps. No signs.Paths not clear. Hence we found very little of interest and we did not stay long. Hardly a botanic garden.

Suburb Variety of Plants

This would be one the most peaceful / colorful part of your trip. It's well worth the admission. I would not recommend going after a Hurricane, since there's a lot of plant damage. This gives the plants to grow strong and be AWESOME for sight-seeing.

Nice for a stroll - smaller than expected

It was nice for 1/2 hour stroll on a sunny Sunday afternoon, but I had expected it to be a little bigger from looking at the maps. The boardwalk is lovely and peaceful.

Where I Wander...

A hidden gem, I almost do not want to write a review--it's the best kept secret in Winter Park! Grounds are well maintained and still the gardens represent a natural habitat. I like that the lawn isn't well-manicured which loans to its forestland-feel. Plenty of...More

One of the most peaceful places on earth

For a free garden and museum this place is not to be missed. Theodore Mead was a leading american botanist and naturalist who moved to Florida. The garden themselves are quite large and took us a few hours to explore, with an extraordinary rose garden,...More
