Bok Tower Gardens
A neo-Gothic bell tower garden built on one of the highest points on the Florida peninsula. Its pink marble tower is reflected in the pond, and carillon concerts are held daily.
Bok Tower Gardens sits in Lake Wales, about 85 km south of Orlando. Built by Dutch-American publisher Edward Bok, it was dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge in 1929 and is a designated National Historic Landmark. The roughly 62-meter “Singing Tower” is built of pink Georgia marble and Florida coquina stone and houses a carillon of 60 bells, which are played live every afternoon. The gardens were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., and the Pine Tree Estate can also be visited. Admission is about US$25. The drive takes about 1 hour, and the site can be easily combined with LEGOLAND Florida on the same day.
