This small, secluded garden is one of my favorite places to visit in the Daytona area. You could believe yourself miles from civilization. A very calming and lovely place.

This is a little park right off of hwy 40. Its easy to walk and has nice areas for pictures. Waterfall, pond with Turtles, and a Vietnam Memorial. It also has different types of trees and flowers.

A lush, sparkling emerald jewel at Ormond Beach! AMAZING!! The. 2 gallery Art Museum is housed in a Historic Building and curated by informative, personable, and then invisible staff. The adorable Gift Shop has unique handcrafted items from area artists at reasonable prices. That is all Wonderful and worth a pop-in or hour to hour and 1/2 trip.The Gardens! Oh! The Gardens are Glorious!! Palms, azaleas! Hibiscus, wandering Jew, banana trees.. waterfalls, pools, a gazebo and labyrinth!! The paths are impressed with leaves. Small pebbles in designs add texture to the paved walkways. This garden has been lovingly and brilliantly planned! Details and vignettes abound! Come enjoy it! Smell the greenness of this hidden gem mixed with the salt of the beach within walking distance. Wow. Just - wow.

This was my third visit to the gardens and my first visit inside the museum. The gardens are beautiful and peaceful. Love to walk around the concrete pads and sit and watch the turtles or listen to the waterfall it has a very nice variety of tropical foliage and flowers.The museum was displaying art from a couple of different local artist. Rather interesting display. The museum is fairly small and only has a couple of display Halls or rooms.

This is our 2nd time here and we loved it even more the 2nd time. There was a beautiful wate really that was there, years ago. Its still there bit the water isn t. We did see a ton of turtles along with butterflies and other wildlife. The gazebo is gorgeous, especially to take pics near and it would be a beautiful place to have a wedding ceremony. Very tranquil place to mediate, spend some quality time alone or with loved ones. Great place to bring visitors. We have not gone into the museum. Both times, it has been closed.

Very quiet and beautiful gardens! Enjoyed walking the many trails and my young children had fun discovering the sculptures throughout. The art museum was simple but neat. Loved the explanation of the pieces from the artists! Will visit again as they change their displays about every 6 weeks from what we were told by a staff member.

Wonderful place. Beautiful natural park thats very well maintained. Supported by donations, the park is one of the best in the Daytona region. My wife and I shared a quality, romantic walk for an hour then went inside the museums building to check out their exhibition. They change the exhibitions quarterly with local artists forming the lineup. The museum offers membership for reasonable prices and numerous benefits. I highly recommend this park for quality family time.

I love being here. I planned my wedding here, several spots to say your vows and have a ceremony under the beautiful trees that provide shade. Its such a peaceful, serene place and its in the city. The walkway is perfect for a stroll along with your lover and share a romantic kiss by the gazebo. If you havent been you should go. The art museum is very impressive, so clean and professional. It has a feel of entering another place all in its own, as if you stepped in to a completely different country. Its hard to explain really, I was so impressed with the entire place.

I love out little arts museum. Its small, so its a quick visit, but we love this place. They also have painting classes and kids arts and crafts evening once a month. They feature local artists and interesting subjects and the gardens around it are so gorgeous, great for a walk, sit in peace or watch the turtles. We love getting lunch at Luckys across the street and eat it here, do take your trash though, please. Its close to the Casements so perfect to combine both for an interesting visit.

Had no idea there was a place like this so close to home. My fiancé and I went there and enjoyed the scenery and little trails along with nature and the ponds they have. New fave spot to just relax and spend time together.

There was no artwork on the walls today... HOWEVER, I did stroll around the beautiful paths & saw some gorgeous vistas, as well as spectacular bamboo. Several nice sculptures commemorate our nations soldiers as well. Lovely gazebo invites you & some friends for a picnic. It was well-worth my stop.

A beautiful garden tacked away in the most surprising area of Ormond Beach. We never suspected it was there and we have been coming to Ormond Beach for years. Worth the look. We appreciated the walkways, turtles, children had fun, and even our 93 yo grandma enjoyed it. Something to do on an afternoon.

The gardens are a little slice of paradise right in the middle of a busy street, just 2 blocks away from the Atlantic Ocean.Our tour s conducted by the gardener, a very knowledgeable woman who has lovely tended the gardens for over 30 years. The gardens have a natural waterfall, several varieties of bamboo, and palm trees. Beautiful shrubs and other foliage, with several benches scattered around for one to sit and enjoy nature.

Beautiful and relaxing. I choose Ormond for my first “Me Day” since having my two boys and it was just what I needed to reset. A quiet, warm walk through the museum see all the turtles squirrels, little lizards, and butterflies. It was so nice and I would recommend going even if only once because the natural beauty is breathtaking and for those who wonder there are plenty of benches and sitting areas that are also shaded. There are restaurants that are walking distance of you become hungry and parking is free so you don’t need to worry about that but be aware that the parking lot isn’t that big but I’ll be honest that I don’t think many people go there enough to fill up the parking lot.

This is one of the places we are sure to visit when we come to Ormond Beach because there is usually an interesting show including local artists and there is a restful garden adjacent to it with a beautiful waterfall that continues into a stream meandering throughout the gardens. The walkways go up and down stairways, over little bridges that cross the stream and past a covered labyrinth as well as a picturesque cottage and some interesting and curious sculptures. All-in-all, one would hardly think that there was a busy street and shops just feet away. The several benches located throughout the gardens are pserfect for taking time to sit and reflect.

Pretty cool Art gallery. its very clean and well kept. the staff was super nice and they do ask for a $2 donation as you enter but its absolutely worth it if youre into the whole art thing. Even the bathrooms were spotless and had all the cleaning supplies labeled and organized off to the side. I know thats not important but little details like that are good identifiers of a quality place. Would recommend!

Here I find my Zen by walking the labyrinth, listening to the bamboo and sitting quietly by the waterfall as the turtles sun themselves. Can there be a more perfect place? Not for me at least. Here is where I go to find my center. Go. Being there is worth the time. Bring your lunch. Bring your camera. Most importantly, come and be free.

Review №53

On this visit the art museum was closed so we toured the gardens. The lush gardens are well maintained and have an amazing collection of plants. There are paved and dirt walkways through out the gardens. There is a maze in the gazebo, waterfalls, ponds, benches, sculptures,huge bamboo stands, bronze memorial, turtles, birds etc. There is no charge to visit the gardens and there is free parking. Did I mention there were banana or plantain plants bearing fruit.... Never seen this before. On a windy day the large bamboo stand rubs together and plays a beautiful song. Great place to visit, discover and relax. One would think they are in a jungle and not the middle of Ormond. A hidden gem for sure.

Even the entrance is wonderful with the pond filled with turtles frolicing around the main statue. Loved being able to be up front the personally close with the tropical plantings to photograph! To be able to see the last day of this exhibit was a thrill. Staff so very friendly and knowledgable, small but nice little gift shop. Free, but dedicated to veterans of WWI and WWII and making a donation is appreciated. Plenty of free public parking. We are definitely going back to spend more time in the gardens strolling the myriad f paths.
