    Went there on a Monday in August - 3 generations of us - a bit expensive for what there is, but got a free day if we returned within 7 days. Absolutely no-one there on second visit (American kids had gone back to school)so turned out to be ever so relaxing, except some of the things were not open. Excellent place for OAP's, kids under 12 but don't take teenagers!

    We went there last summer with 3 teenagers (who all love the big rides at theme parks) and they thought it was great.

    Disneydreaming, yes we went yesterday to Cypress Gardens, used our Sea World Annual Pass, got in free except for $9 car parking.
    If we had bought an annual pass yesterday at CG they would have given us $10 off and refunded the $9 car parking.
    Can't say fairer than that. offer finished today, may be another one next year.
    I hadn't been there for 11 years, its got some rides now but not humungous ones, theres still some nice topiary and botanical gardens, theres a reasonable waterski show and some other end of the pier style indoor shows which were good in a smalltown sort of way.

    In fact the whole park is kind of smalltown, and thats good for us.Not too much walking.It was aparently the first Florida theme park in 1934.

    They are apparently still having financial problems, it was nearly empty of visitors yesterday I am afraid, could have been the rainy weather this week put people off , but it was nice there yesterday.
    Nearly all US visitors, only heard one other Brit couple and it turns out they live here like we do.
    A very pleasant experience all round and if you stay in Davenport area its not far to drive either.
