Unbelievable Acres Botanic Gardens (1 ha / 2.5 acres) is a private man made Tropical Rainforest , nonprofit botanical garden located at 470 63rd Trail North, West Palm Beach, Florida. The garden is open to the general public on the Second Saturday of every month. Guided Tours are given at 1:30 and 3 p.m. An admission fee ($10 adults and $5 Children) is charged.
