Cypress Gardens
"One of Florida's Original Tourist Traps!"
Cypress Gardens was opened in the 1930s, long before Walt Disney cast any covetous designs on the sunshine state. It's been entertaining visitors with a somewhat cheezy mix of attractions for more than 60 years now. My dad came here for the first in the winter of 1938. He says that the trees have grown a lot since then!
"A Slower Pace of Tourism"
My favorite part was the Topiary Gardens. What amazing things you can do with a shrubbery!
The water ski-ing show is another highlight of Cypress Gardens. Scoff if you like, but I still think it's pretty amazing!
