A couple of days ago we made our first trip to Legoland Florida for my daughter’s fifth birthday. I had been to Cypress Gardens as a kid and was interested to see what they had done with it. The did preserve a small part of Cypress Gardens including the huge banyan tree and the Gazebo. Here is a little about Cypress Gardens from Wikipedia “Billed as Florida’s first commercial tourist theme park,[1] Cypress Gardens opened on January 2, 1936 as a botanical garden planted by Dick Pope Sr. and his wife Julie. Over the years it became one of the biggest attractions in Florida, known for its water ski shows, gardens, and Southern Belles.[2] It became known as the “Water Ski Capital of the World” because it was the site of many of the sport’s landmark firsts and over 50 world records were broken there.” About 2 years ago it was reopened as Legoland Florida. There are Lego animals and people all over the park which are pretty cool. It seems oriented for the 4-12 year old set. My five year old was able to do about half the rides and my two year old was not able to do many of them at all. The two shots tonight are a Lego representation of Bok Tower which is in nearby Lake Wales and a southern belle in front of the gazebo.
