Allerton Garden (National Tropical Botanical Garden)
A spectacular botanical garden in a lush valley on Kauai south shore that was used as a filming location for Jurassic Park. The guided tour takes you through themed garden rooms with massive Moreton Bay fig trees, exotic tropical plants, and water features. Kids recognize the Jurassic Park trees immediately and the scale of the ancient trees is genuinely impressive. The valley setting with the stream running through it is beautiful. The McBryde Garden next door offers self-guided tours through a larger area. Reservations are required for both.
