Flamingo Gardens has many little accessibility problems. The ramps to the ticket/gift shop building are too steep. There is a very steep little ramp at the door threshold. Some of the bridges over streams are too steep. The ramp from one level to the other in the Wray house is too steep. Some of the paths are potholed. Others are loose sand.
Don’t let this deter you – as long as you get a little help over the bad parts, the rest is okay. This is a sanctuary for injured wildlife, mostly birds. It’s not as polished as the other gardens that we have visited but the plants are lush and abundant and all of the animals look very well cared for. There’s a large aviary where you can get very close to the birds and a short wildlife encounter talk. Injured birds are caged but the others are free to come and go as they please.
Parking for large RVs is across the street in a gravel lot. Flamingo Gardens
