You don’t have to be a gardener to love this Florida adventure. People who have ever visited Bok Tower Gardens, rave about it … and we are in huge fans of this special place as well. It feels like taking a step back in time and is incredibly enjoyable for people of all ages.

Located in the heart of Central Florida, between Tampa and Orlando near Lake Wales, Bok Tower Gardens includes 50 acres of luscious vegetation, a 205-foot art deco Singing Tower Carillon and a Mediterranean style home called the Pinewood Estate.
