Gardens where you can watch butterflies and learn more about flora and fauna native to Florida. Trails leading past a preserved 19th century sugar mill ruins and statues of dinosaurs.
Reviewed By wantstotravelsoon
This spot was a sugar mill in the 1800’s when FL was a wilderness, an amusement park in the 1950’s and now a memorial garden. There is a wonderful display of the old sugar mill and the history of the Seminole battle that took place here. Then explore the gardens looking for the dinosaur statures built for the amusement park. The volunteer gardeners do a wonderful job with all the local greenery and flowers!

We scheduled a dedicated pontoon tour with a guide of Spruce Creek from the Cracker Creek location just west of Port Orange. For 10 people they will schedule a personal tour. WE had 7 but paid for 10 to get the tour. Dedicated 2 hours running east from their location. Saw alligators, manatees, many fish, turtle, and lots of exotic birds. At their Cracker Creek location there are wild peacocks all over the place. Their males were showing off to the females since it is mating season with full fanning of their feathers and shaking their rump fluff to impress the girls. They make a cool jungle bird sound when they roost in the trees. Kids loved it and we got some great pics up close. the guide was very knowledgeable, safe, and the ride was slow and very comfortable on a large pontoon boat, I mean very large. Allowed coolers with drinks. There is a potty on the boat, enclosed. Highly recommended. It is “old Florida” at its best. Also visited the Procter property next door, the original site of the P&G family winter residence. Very informative. Great for families especially with kids. A lot of tours advertise manatees, this one produced.

There is a pavilion and a playground for kids in one section of it. There is a kayak ramp a little further down with parking areas. There is a long wooden walkway to two covered seating areas where you can fish and enjoy the cool breeze. I really enjoyed the time we spent here! We didn’t use the pavilion or hiking areas but they seemed nice. I was more interested in the area near the water. I liked the birds and got a chance to see a small stingray of some type. It was exciting to watch it eat. Come by and relax!
