Nestled in the heart of Palm Beach County, Mounts Botanical Garden is more than just a garden—it’s a living museum and a natural playground where curiosity blooms.

Families have an opportunity to explore winding paths, colorful plant collections, and themed gardens that make Mounts a vibrant tropical oasis in the heart of the Palm Beaches. It’s the perfect place for both the young and the young at heart to unplug, reconnect with nature, and share time together outdoors.

+ Treasure Trek Map – A colorful rhyming guide to all the unique pleasures and secret treasures that can be found on a fun and informative scavenger hunt through Mounts Botanical Garden.

+ The Giant Green Maze – A living puzzle grows right in the center of the Garden! Pruned to resemble a European castle from the outside, the maze is an awesome area of very tall greenery, secret paths, and horticultural alcoves tailor made for a lively imagination.

+ Giant Animal Statuary Family – Life-sized animals crafted from recycled metal located throughout the Garden, including three giraffes, two elephants, and both a hippo and a lion.

+ Towering Moai – Three massive sculptures, impressive life-size replicas of the iconic monolithic human figures located on Easter Island, Chile.

Discover the inspiring story of the Easter Island Moai and the Rapa Nui Culture, and the importance of preserving and protecting both historical treasures and environmental resources.

+ Mounts Butterfly Garden – Home to a collection of colorful plants that provide crucial resources for all stages of a butterfly’s life cycle.

Designed to help families feel more prepared and confident to engage during their visit to the Garden, and adjust to new faces, new activities, bright lights, a range of noise levels, and so many other sensory experiences.
