Cypress Gardens — Attraction in Winter Haven

So... getting here is a challenge but worth it. I hope they continue keeping the place nice with some great old plants. I do see they are planning a ride inside the gardens.

You go to lego land NOT DIRECTIONS ON MAPS for cypress gardens. (It's the HR employee entrance 2022)

You pay 25 to park no one knows this but when you buy shopping tickets at reg $110 price, you get 25 back if you buy at least this much. So grab a shirt or small lego set... maybe food.

You now have one hour to walk through the park to Cypress Gardens. Its about ten minutes walking fast, but fortunately the park is nice, and much smaller than Disney. Navigating people is the biggest challenge and what they should fix or maybe offer two hours so for ten bucks.

I read a lot before going and didn't know this...so I hope this helps.

They said if there is a line of ticket buyers which were 5, then they would still refund the 110 long as they can see you in line before 60 min.

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 Gone are the southern belles, which have been replaced by "Lego" belles.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...

Experiencing the Cypress Gardens part of the Legoland Florida Park is like stepping back in time as the plants and trees here are so huge and old it's just the anchor to the entire ecosystem in Winter Haven. So grateful to be employed by Merlin Entertainment who safeguards this amazing place now. I've lived in this community for more than 39 years and Legoland had breathed new life into the central Florida communities. Just have the best memories at this place when Busch had the animals here too and I was able to meet all sorts of protected...
