Neat spot to walk through. Recommend going in the morning when the sun isn’t so hot! Loved the packing house views and the little church. Also liked the building with the shell wall. We wished there was more of those types of things to read and see out of the heat. Super interesting. The butterfly house was cool, but I don’t like things landing on me, so it was a quick run through for me. For $20, it’s a neat activity to do with your family or friends. Online tickets were easy to order, although there is no discount for purchasing them this way.
I went on a Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed the place. Easy walking, great map, information about each stop, easy to follow graphics and signs, all very informative about Historic Spanish Point. It was all very pleasant. $20 adult entrance, free to park. Bring your water, there are spots to refill.
A relaxing scenic adventure! Getting around the entire path is simple even without a map. Plenty of markers/signs point the way to your desired spot at Selby.
Although there’s alot of restoration in development, Selby Gardens Historic Spanish Point is well worth the visit, and I highly recommend going to both of them!
The Butterfly Garden is my favorite overall along with the aqueduct and the bridge that overlooks the bay.
Great place to visit. Bring your camera, a cooler, and your sunglasses. I visited the Spanish point for the first time. It was a little too hot, but the trails are closed to the water, nice gardens and trails. Must visit.
They hold a lot of weddings here, and for good reason. The views of the water, the architecture, and grounds are all terrific. If you drive toward the water, there is a dock leading out to a boathouse. You can take the stairs to the top (bring some chairs), and it’s a great spot to watch the sunset.
