A NEW WELCOME CENTER
Flamingo Gardens is planning for a new $3.8 million 8,000 square foot Welcome Center for visitors. The current building is 67 years old and its original wood frame construction is in severe disrepair. Its facilities are outdated and inadequate, and no longer meet the current needs of the 188,000 plus annual visitors to Flamingo Gardens.
The new Welcome Center campus will be comprised of an educational building, a new ticket booth and gift shop, and a new cafe.
Phase I, the Mary N. Porter Learning Center, will provide a 3000 sq. ft. of multi-purpose meeting, classroom, and exhibition space with new ADA restrooms. Phase II will provide a new entrance to the botanical gardens, ticket booth, customer service center, gift shop, volunteer and rental department offices, cafe with courtyard seating, and additional new ADA restrooms. Parking will be expanded with new front entrance signage and landscaping.
