A narrated tram ride leads through the site's tropical rainforest, native hammock, wetland areas and groves. The Tropical Plant House displays orchids, calatheas and other plants. The Arboretum contains one of the largest collections of non-indigenous champion trees in the region, and the Xeriscape Garden demonstrates

low maintenance, minimally watered gardening.

Fauna includes an American black bear, otters, alligators, bobcats, Florida panthers, tortoises, freshwater turtles, geese, swans, sandhill cranes, blue-beaked ducks, flamingos, bald eagles, golden eagles, owls, peacocks, macaws, and iguanas. The 25,000-square-foot (2,300-square-metre) Everglades aviary houses one of the largest collections of wading birds in the U.S. The aviary exhibits five native Florida ecosystems: coastal prairie, mangrove swamp, cypress forest, sub-tropical
