About the Park
A showpiece of tropical fruits that thrive in the unique climate of The Redland, Fruit and Spice Park will introduce you to fruits and flavors you’ve never heard of.
More than 500 different species are accounted for throughout the thematic tropical gardens.
A network of trails fans out throughout the park to enable you to explore at your own pace, or you can join a guided tour on a tram that stops at points of interest.
As you walk the pathways, it’s okay to sample fruits that have fallen to the ground. Just avoid them in the poisonous plants area!
Browse the gift shop on your way out for cookbooks, scholarly books on fruit, and fruit products. A cafe at the park makes use of the tropical fruits in their salads and smoothies.
