Harry P. Leu Gardens Overview

Come and explore one of the most unique gardens in all of Central Florida, located just minutes from Downtown Orlando, Winter Park, and I-4. The Harry P. Leu Gardens offer visitors a chance to see some of the rarest flowers and plants in the world, as well as step into rain forest-like conditions right here in sunny Central Florida.

With one of the largest Camellia collections in the United States, the largest formal rose garden in all of Florida, and a stunning outdoor butterfly garden, it is easy to see how dedicated the staff of the Leu Gardens are to providing unique and beautiful experiences for their guests. In addition to the plant and animal life, the Leu Gardens are also home to the Leu House Museum, which is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

Daytime trips to the gardens aren't all that are offered here though. The Leu Gardens regularly hold public events, story times for children, movie nights, and even private weddings.

The Leu Gardens make a great part of any day in the Downtown Orlando area, and are just minutes from great dining and nightlife options. Below is some practical information to help you plan your visit, as well as photos and virtual tours to let you explore the Leu Gardens before you even arrive!

Things We Love About the Leu Gardens
-The gardens offer a quick escape to tranquility and relaxation. Walking the gardens and experiencing the natural beauty around is a nice break from the non-stop action you find throughout most of Orlando
-The movie nights/date nights are really a great time. If you are fortunate to be here when one is happening then grab a picnic and a bottle of wine and come enjoy the beautiful surroundings and watch a movie!
-The great price. At $7 per person it is already a great budget activity, but add in our buy one get one special offer and you have one of the cheapest things to do in Orlando right here!

This place is absolutely STUNNING. It is a must see for your whole family. Whether you want to go for a couple's outing or a family outing with the little ones, you are sure to have a great time. Plenty of interesting flowers and vegetation to behold, as well as plentiful picture opportunities. Make sure to pack a lunch and enjoy a beautiful picnic in the garden! Staff was friendly and helpful and accepted the My Destination discount without question. Take advantage of the buy one, get one discount available on this site.

Great experience!
Danielle from Orlando, FL
 
The Leu Gardens was phenomenal! My sister cam in town and I took her with the great 2-for-1 deal and even in winter there were lots of blooming flowers. It was peaceful and aromatic with a nice layout. I plan on visiting again and would definitely recommend it!
