Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens, Ormond Beach FL

This is a great place, in the city, to imagine that you aren’t. This is a beautiful place to walk and sit and enjoy the greenery, water features, flowers & trees. Kudos to those who created and maintain the gardens.

Extremely beautiful gardens. And tons of turtles in pond. Nice and easy to walk cement paths with my dog FREE PARKING

A lush, sparkling emerald jewel at Ormond Beach! AMAZING! The. 2 gallery Art Museum is housed in a Historic Building and curated by informative, personable, and then invisible staff. The adorable Gift Shop has unique handcrafted items from area artists at reasonable prices. That is all Wonderful and worth a pop-in or hour to hour and 1/2 trip.
The Gardens! Oh! The Gardens are Glorious! Palms, azaleas! Hibiscus, wandering Jew, banana trees.waterfalls, pools, a gazebo and labyrinth! The paths are impressed with leaves. Small pebbles in designs add texture to the paved walkways. This garden has been lovingly and brilliantly planned! Details and vignettes abound! Come enjoy it! Smell the greenness of this hidden gem mixed with the salt of the beach within walking distance. Wow. Just - wow.

Odd place. The art made from found trash was disappointing. The best art work was on the walls in the front offices.

Wonderful place. Beautiful natural park that's very well maintained. Supported by donations, the park is one of the best in the Daytona region. My wife and I shared a quality, romantic walk for an hour then went inside the museum's building to check out their exhibition. They change the exhibition's quarterly with local artists forming the lineup. The museum offers membership for reasonable prices and numerous benefits. I highly recommend this park for quality family time.

Beautiful Gardens. Quaint museum. They change exhibits frequently. If you are an art lover or need down time with kids/teens good place to go. Educational!

A beautiful garden tacked away in the most surprising area of Ormond Beach. We never suspected it was there and we have been coming to Ormond Beach for years. Worth the look. We appreciated the walkways, turtles, children had fun, and even our 93 yo grandma enjoyed it. Something to do on an afternoon.

This is a beautiful place to walk around, its like a jungle. Lots of flowers and tropical plants. Watch out for the homeless though, their in there!

Thus is a small but enjoyable little garden in the center of Ormond. Well worth a 30 minute, free, visit

Loved walking the gardens. If you go here do not miss seeing the kaleidoscope; it's very unique and absolutely beautiful. This place is like a little hidden treasure

This is one of the places we are sure to visit when we come to Ormond Beach because there is usually an interesting show including local artists and there is a restful garden adjacent to it with a beautiful waterfall that continues into a stream meandering throughout the gardens. The walkways go up and down stairways, over little bridges that cross the stream and past a covered labyrinth as well as a picturesque cottage and some interesting and curious sculptures. All-in-all, one would hardly think that there was a busy street and shops just feet away. The several benches located throughout the gardens are pserfect for taking time to sit and reflect.

I love being here. I planned my wedding here, several spots to say your vows and have a ceremony under the beautiful trees that provide shade. It's such a peaceful, serene place and it's in the city. The walkway is perfect for a stroll along with your lover and share a romantic kiss by the gazebo. If you haven't been you should go. The art museum is very impressive, so clean and professional. It has a feel of entering another place all in it's own, as if you stepped in to a completely different country. It's hard to explain really, I was so impressed with the entire place.

Beautiful when quiet and peaceful. Walked the labyrinth, but the meditation interrupted by happy, but noisy passers by.

I love out little arts museum. It's small, so it's a quick visit, but we love this place. They also have painting classes and kids arts and crafts evening once a month. They feature local artists and interesting subjects and the gardens around it are so gorgeous, great for a walk, sit in peace or watch the turtles. We love getting lunch at Lucky's across the street and eat it here, do take your trash though, please. It's close to the Casements so perfect to combine both for an interesting visit.

The gardens are a little slice of paradise right in the middle of a busy street, just 2 blocks away from the Atlantic Ocean.
Our tour s conducted by the gardener, a very knowledgeable woman who has lovely tended the gardens for over 30 years. The gardens have a natural waterfall, several varieties of bamboo, and palm trees. Beautiful shrubs and other foliage, with several benches scattered around for one to sit and enjoy nature.

Excellent little art museum surrounded by a beautiful garden. The area was just beautiful and peaceful. All the little ponds were full of turtles. Lots of different plants and animals. It was truly a joy to stop and take in the beauty of this place.

This was my third visit to the gardens and my first visit inside the museum. The gardens are beautiful and peaceful. Love to walk around the concrete pads and sit and watch the turtles or listen to the waterfall it has a very nice variety of tropical foliage and flowers.

The museum was displaying art from a couple of different local artist. Rather interesting display. The museum is fairly small and only has a couple of display Halls or rooms.

Beautiful and relaxing. I choose Ormond for my first “Me Day” since having my two boys and it was just what I needed to reset. A quiet, warm walk through the museum see all the turtles squirrels, little lizards, and butterflies. It was so nice and I would recommend going even if only once because the natural beauty is breathtaking and for those who wonder there are plenty of benches and sitting areas that are also shaded. There are restaurants that are walking distance of you become hungry and parking is free so you don’t need to worry about that but be aware that the parking lot isn’t that big but I’ll be honest that I don’t think many people go there enough to fill up the parking lot.

Very quiet and beautiful gardens! Enjoyed walking the many trails and my young children had fun discovering the sculptures throughout. The art museum was simple but neat. Loved the explanation of the pieces from the artists! Will visit again as they change their displays about every 6 weeks from what we were told by a staff member.

Here I find my Zen by walking the labyrinth, listening to the bamboo and sitting quietly by the waterfall as the turtles sun themselves. Can there be a more perfect place? Not for me at least. Here is where I go to find my center. Go. Being there is worth the time. Bring your lunch. Bring your camera. Most importantly, come and be free.
