Took my Mom here last week, didn't know what to expect but the entry fee was high enough for me to check online reviews and they were all glowing. (need reservations prior to arriving, I called it in 2 days before.) It's a 37-acre estate and botanic garden created by Madame Ganna Walska, (interesting history
http://www.lotusland.org/histo... ) who owned the property from 1941 until her death in 1984. Two docent led tours offered daily, 10 Am and 1:30 PM lasting approx. 2 hours. We were not disappointed, it was the highlight of our 3 day get away!

You start out in this courtyard with a beautiful tiled fountain and nearby gift shop.
