11000 Red Rd, Pinecrest, FL 33156

Forget the bouquet — why not give your date an entire garden? 

Okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but let's be honest — a bunch of flowers wilts over time, but an unforgettable garden tour?

It's more than a better alternative!

So, bring your date to Pinecrest Gardens, a famous, romance-filled destination just 2 minutes away from Snapper Creek Lakes, offering the perfect backdrop for a romantic stroll. 

Whether you're wandering through the tropical foliage or discovering hidden nooks together, every turn is like finding a new secret garden. 

A walk through these lush surroundings beats any movie montage of love blossoming in a flower shop. 

Pinecrest Gardens is also a historic site, once home to the iconic Parrot Jungle, and now a cultural arts park where you might catch a live performance or art exhibit during your visit. 

It's a chance to connect, chat, and maybe even sneak in a hand-hold or two as you marvel at orchids in the wild.

3) Catch the latest flick with an afternoon movie session at AMC Sunset Place 24

And if the movie isn't great, well, that's just another reason to grab a drink afterward and laugh about it together. 

Not to mention that AMC Sunset Place 24 is part of The Shops at Sunset Place, so you can also explore the nearby shops or grab a bite at one of the surrounding eateries before or after your movie. 

Oh, and remember to pick a movie you'll both enjoy — nothing kills the vibe faster than a bad movie choice!
