Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden discounts and deals

Want to visit Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden?

The 83-acre garden in Coral Cables, established in 1938, offers visitors a chance to see all kinds of rare and interesting tropical plants. Fairchild also hosts festivals, workshops and classes all year.

Admission to this Coral Gables attraction typically costs $24.95 for adults, $17.95 for seniors and $15.95 for students. (Tickets usually cost $12 for children age 6-17 and are free for those who are younger.)

But there are sometimes promo codes and discounts that will get you in to see the garden for less. For example, with a Golden Ticket, seniors 62 and older get in free the first Wednesday of every month.
