Has anyone been to cypress gardens?
Is it worth a whole days visit?
Is there enough to keep all ages entertained?
Many Thanks:D

It's fun. There are rides for all ages and a water park which is fun if it's hot and it's included in the price. It's a day out - yes:wavey:
It's not themed or as glamorous as Disney / Universal but if you're looking for somewhere else to spend a day it's fun.

I was also thinkingt of visiting next Easter - if you use the "search this forum" for Cypress Gardens, there are a number of threads about it. The majority seem to give it a thumbs up. I notice from their website that you can also return free within 6 days.

Yes, yes, yes. The rides are great, it is all lovely, not crowded. The gardens are incredible and there is an amazing sculpture. I'll let you find it won't give away the secret. We haven't been to the water park as it wasn't open when we last went but yes definitely go.

Cypress gardens is great we go every year and love it, great rides and shows for everyone. Not sure if you can buy tickets in the uk, but you can purchase on the gate at a cost of $39.95 adults 10-59yrs, $34.95 3-9yrs and $34.95 60+ and you can also get a second day visit if you get your ticket validated at customer services before you leave.

We got married there in Sept 96, the gardens/waterfalls were amazing ,we have excellent photos with our families/guests I bet it's changed a fair bit since then (wonderful memories) we must try and get back there.
