Where the Wild Things are
Botanical Walk
Garden of Eden
You’ll find many exciting plants along the illuminated path that leads around the village. From medicinal plants and cacti to tropical fruit trees, we have many palm tree varieties, passion flowers and hibiscus plants. All the colors of the rainbow are found in the trees that fruit including avocado, papaya, figs, citrus and mango trees. Picking is allowed!

Fresh Pizza Toppings
Our herb garden invites you on a sensual journey through local and European herbs. Pick them to season your cooking or steep an herbal iced-tea in the sun. You can make small aromatherapy bouquets or rub some on to ward off mosquitoes! Help yourself to the fresh bed of basil, sage, rosemary, lavender, lemon mint, lemon balm, parsley, and peppermint to garnish your cocktails.
Jungle Park
Live Jungle Music
Exclusively available for Pyramids in Florida guests, we have our very own 10-acre wetland nature sanctuary. If you enjoy walking the trails or running, fishing, meditating, watching critters and identifying tropical plants, 5 stations invite you to linger in special areas of our jungle park under 200-year old trees. While you’re listening to the sounds of Mother Nature, keep an eye out for wild herbs, hummingbirds, butterflies and birds.
We invite you to discover our Jungle Park walking trails. Wander through lush greenery, listen to the soothing sounds of nature, and uncover hidden gems along the way.

Meet the Neighbors
Animal lovers don’t have to visit the Everglades to see native animals. All kinds of wildlife make their home at Pyramids in Florida including armadillos, butterflies, lizards and iguanas and our adorable turtle “Heidi” who often does laps in the lake. A local university team is currently studying the river ecosystem along a section of our Jungle Park. Even our clever raccoon friends will arrive uninvited to your party, open the BBQ grill, and steal the leftovers if you don’t clean up!
Birdwatching
Private Bird Sanctuary
Florida is a major ornithologist destination, but you don’t have to be a professional to watch birds in their natural habitat. We have an immense variety of birds in our Jungle Park like pelicans, flamingos, grey herons but also rare species, eagles, and ibis to name a few.
Fishing Hole
Catch of the Day
A river flows through our Jungle Park making it an ideal fishing spot. Many prize fish (tilapia) have landed on guest BBQ grills. Ask Gerti for free fishing equipment or buy your own at the Bass Pro shop close by. No fishing license required!
