Elizabeth II Botanic Park
Cayman’s Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park is at Cayman Palms in the north of Grand Cayman and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994. The park, which is also very popular with the locals, not only excites visitors with its unique world of plants, but also provides information on the local animal world, the history and the culture of the Cayman Islands.
The first part of the tour is the Visitors Center, which is designed to give you a feel for the Caribbean way of life and architecture. Fitted with wooden windows, a waterfall and a large terrace, exhibitions are often held in this building. The Heritage Garden brings the past of the Caymans to life, and the main attraction is a restored house from the early 20th century. Visitors then enter the third and most important part of the tour – the Floral Garden. Several hundred tropical and subtropical plant species create a multi-colored mosaic and the orchid collection is particularly worth a visit. At the end of the tour, a lake landscape awaits you with several small islands. Here, many different types of birds find their ideal habitat.
