Our mission is to nurture and enhance a historic garden in a unique tropical setting for the education, enjoyment and enrichment of all.
McKee Botanical Garden is located on an 18-acre tropical hammock in Vero Beach, FL. The property is home to over 10,000 plants and the state's largest collections of waterlilies. The Garden houses two historic structures built by Waldo Sexton. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and endorsed by The Garden Conservancy as a project of national significance.
Children who visit are encouraged to navigate their own Garden adventure with one of McKee's Garden Discovery Backpacks. Recommended for children ages 3 to 12, each backpack contains tools and educational materials for exploring the Garden. Choose from different themes: Garden Explorer, Things with Wings, It's a Bug's World, Plantastic and Survival: Lost in the Jungle. Backpacks are available at Garden Admissions and may be enjoyed during the visit for no additional cost.
General admission rates are $12 for adults, $11 seniors, $8 children ages 3 to 12 and free for children under 3 and McKee members. Summer membership rates (effective May 1 through Oct. 30) are $10 adults, $9 seniors and $5 for children ages 3 to 12.
