Cypress Gardens

We went without going. Our boat tour of the chain of lakes included a “float by” of the park. We were able to see the famous Florida shaped swimming pool built for the movie “Easy to Love” and the famous water ski show. We were there for the last day of the show as it shut down due to cost to produce and declining interest.

Still exists but as a section of Legoland. Not many visitors made it to this area when I went (which was welcome) and there's a decent amount of construction/half-finished features, but plenty of nice trails, beautiful flora, a few scenic views and I'm glad it has survived. They're working on a water-themed attraction which has potential to be pretty cool. Until then, a great garden if you like gardens.

I had walked through here before, but not in quite awhile. So the other day I decided to stroll around to film. I’m so thankful this is preserved inside of Legoland and on the national historic register. It truly is beautiful and peaceful. Well worth a visit to get to know. Video version is up on my channel on YouTube, Hammocks to Coasters.

A far cry from yesteryear, Cypress Gardens used to be a living paradise to visit and experience. Since Legoland took it over it is now a small segment of the once majestic land. Only a small remnant remains of the old wondrous park. Gone are the southern belles, which have been replaced by "Lego" belles. Gone is the water boat ride, and the spectacular water shows from the past. I almost gave this review a one star but this park deserves better than that. I only wish Legoland would have a separate entrance just for Cypress Gardens some how instead of shelling out $100 per ticket to go through Legoland. I would also love to see more elements from the past of what was once known as Cypress Gardens return so that ALL future generations can experience what I experienced long ago.

Very beautiful spot within Legoland. I loved being able to read about the trees, flowers and plants that were there and where they originated. Even about the chapel and the Banyan tree. The statues of Jesus and Saints were a nice touch as well. Amazing to see how much the tree has grown since being planted as a seedling in 1939.
