The exhibits are camera friendly but please no tripods or mono-pods.  The Butterfly Rainforest is absolutely amazing with new butterflies being raised and released weekly.  Great handrails around the walkway make it a great place or rest your arms and steady your shot.

1920 N Forest Ave, Orlando, FL 32803

Parking: Free
Admission: $10.00
This lush 49 acre gardens is full of photo opportunities.  It is very camera friendly and tripods are permitted for outdoor shooting.  One the grounds is a 19th century plantation home that has been fully restored to the period.   Daily free tours are available.  You may take photos during the tour with no flash hand held.  I found this very easy as there is lots of light coming through the windows.
