We loved it - check out the day in my trippie to find out all about it. The kids who were 7 & 11 thought it was one of the best things we did in Florida - they rated it over Discovery Cove!

We really liked it when we were there, Although that may have been something to do with it being our wedding day!!:grin:

Hi,

It's been a few years since we went so I don't know how the park looks today.

We had a great day there, very restful compared to WDW etc.

The gardens were beautiful, we went on the "Island in The Sky" ride and enjoyed that, the water skiing show was superb.

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it. My kids thought it was great - the day we went in Oct 2005 they were able to ride whichever rides they fancied with no queues - staying on as many times as they liked - how cool was that. For anyone who has kids, queuing at times can be a stressful with them moaning and getting bored so it come to a park and be able to see a ride and hop on and stay on was fantastic. Yes it wasn't themed like Disney nor as glitzy but for a fun day out without the crowds it was wonderful. There is a waterpark in Cypress Gardens which we didn't have time to visit. The entry fee was really cheap and we all got FREE tickets to return anytime within a week - an absolute bargain.

I agree, we went in 2005 my son his partner my grandaughter aged 10 and me! A real mixed aged group and we all enjoyed it. They all went back for the free day and did some more.
A lovely day out.
