We visited Cypress Gardens for the first time on Tuesday
I wish that we had made the effort to visit this park earlier.
We have been coming to Floria for over twenty years and never thought to spend a day at Cypress Gardens .

It's a great relaxed park with beautiful gardens.some good live shows.
A railway and a ferry boat ride and some great traditional rides.

We had a really enjoyable day, so much to see in a relaxed atmosphere
The attentants are very friendly and have time to chat and laugh with you.
I wish more visitors to Florida would go and spend a day.
Total opposite to the famous Parks in Orlando.

We will definately visit again,a pity we took so long [msnsmile2]

Glad you had a good day Barbara, we love this park and have visited a few times now. It was very relaxed in July and August.

We had annual passes last year. You can do so much in a day there as i don't think we have ever queued to get on a ride. In August we have even had the whole wave pool to ourselves in the water park at the back of the park.

Its like a little hidden gem of old time Florida

We visited first time last year with the kids 5&4 even though I had been to Florida for over 20 years

had an absolutley wonderful day so relaxing and a real joy for younger kids, and being able to flip between theme park and water park is fantastic

We found it a great introduction to the theme parks, before it gets a little more hectiv at the more famous parks

Will definately visit again in March / April on our next trip

It makes a change from the action packed days at the other parks and has the claim to fame of being the first.

We went twice during our stay from which we have just returned and I agree it is a welcome change from the hustle and bustle.Staff are friendly you are not rushed and it is so peaceful.We saw the Turtles -the pop group from the 60's and they were great only thing was the heavens opened and they had to cut the concert short.We didn't realise the concerts are free if you don't mind taking your own chairs or blankets and sitting out in the open.
