Park Highlights

Located about an hour’s drive from Downtown Miami, Fruit & Spice Park’s subtropical oasis is filled with tall fruit trees anchored by a lovely lake with water lilies, waterfalls and a fountain.

Explore the park by winding your way along pathways and boardwalks beneath trees blossoming with avocado, mangos, sapodillas, papaya, lemons, limes, lychee, coconuts and so much more. While you can’t pick the fruit from the trees, guests are encouraged to forage along the ground for fallen fruit that you can sink your teeth into right then and there.
