We’re bringing a new vision for the Wonder Gardens to life – including exciting new exhibits for all ages to enjoy!
For over nine decades, The Wonder Gardens has delighted visitors with an inspiring, educational, and engaging experience of tropical flora and fauna. Now, The Wonder Gardens’ staff, Board leadership, and the City of Bonita Springs have unveiled a bold new vision to guide the organization over the next three years. With a clear, sustainable direction for the future, the master plan brings their vision to life, outlining a “roadmap” for continued growth and improvement.
The Wonder Gardens Master Plan will Renew the Wonder by updating existing attractions and adding new opportunities to enhance the experience! Here are a few of the highlights that show what’s to come at The Wonder Gardens.
