McKee Botanical Gardens
McKee Botanical Gardens


In the early 1920's two men, Arthur McKee and Waldo Sexton, bought 80 acres of tropical hammock along the Indian River in Vero Beach, Florida.

Between the two of them they created McKee Jungle Gardens - one of the earliest and most popular Florida tourist attractions.

By the 1940's more than 100,000 people a year were visiting, but competition and dwindling attendance forced them to close the doors in 1976.

The land was sold and all but 18 acres were developed into condominiums.
