View Full Version : Winter Park & Bok Gardens
As anyone heard of Winter Park (boat ride by mansions) and Bok garden with a ghost drive where car drives itself uphill. If you have can you give me more info on how to get to these places etc. Thanks
There's Bok Tower Gardens but this is a separate place to Spook Hill (which I think is what you're describing!).

Winter Park is north of Orlando. Take the Fairbanks or Princeton turn offs.
We went to Spook Hill last year - what a let down. I couldn't see what all the hype was, you could clearly see the slope.
There is a nice lake nearby that we found a had a wander round. Saw the house I'd like way across the other side and walked round to it. Had my photo taken in front of it-so I could dream of what to spend my winning lottery money on :D:D:D

I have been to Winter Park before, though I missed it this time. It is an excellent and relaxing day out. You take I-4 east and come off at Exit 87, following sighs to {ark Avenue. Winter Park has some excellent gardens, walkways, cycle paths and a superb scenic boat ride. It is described as an 'Urban Village' with its array of upmarket shops, boutiques, restuarants and galleries. My wife went with her parents just over a couple of weeks ago and they had a wonderful time.
