It's a treat to meander among fragrant flowering bushes, canna and ginger lilies, puffball trees, and more than 100 other species of tropical flora in a cool, tranquil forest of flowers and other plants. A ½-mi-long (1-km-long) path winds through the 50 acres of grounds, a former sugar plantation; it takes about 30-45 minutes to follow the path, or you can wander freely for as long as you wish. Seats, where you can pause and reflect, are located throughout the forest. There are also a snack bar, gift shop, and beautiful view of Mt. Hillaby. COST: $7.
