Discount alert: Palm Beach County residents receive reduced admission of $5 per person, on the second Saturday of the month, June-September; children 17 and under get in for FREE. Mounts Botanical Garden, 531 N. Military Trail, West Palm Beach. 

Visitors must show proof of residency for reduced-fee entry. The $5 admission will go directly to support children’s programming at Mounts Botanical Garden. Admission for non-residents is $15 for nonmember adults; $12 for seniors 65+, college students, and military with ID; $7 for ages 6-17.

Visitors to this 20-acre tropical oasis will not only see an acclaimed collection of 25 display gardens containing more than 7,000 species of tropical and sub-tropical plants, including Florida native plants, but also an eclectic array of exotic and tropical fruit trees, ornamentals, herbs, palms, roses, cactus, succulents, bromeliads and more.

A permanent exhibit at Mounts reveals the mystery of the Rapa Nui moai, as three imposing 20-foot-tall statues stand sentry at the Garden as replicas of the iconic monolithic figures located on Rapa Nui, Easter Island, in Chile.
