Phone #:  1 345-947-3558
GENERAL INFORMATION:  This 65-acre Botanic Park & wildlife facility opened in February of 1994 for the purpose of preserving natural environments and places of historic significance in the Cayman IslandsThe Garden is open daily from 9:00 a.m. and closes promptly at 5:30 p.m. with the last admission at 4:30 p.m.

Our visit here is part of a cruise ship shore excursion and we are allowed one hour to tour the Park.   So, we better get going!
The first thing I notice is the multi-tiered water fountain in the brick courtyard and then I see it ... . on the Visitor Center's veranda is a large blue iguana!
