At the north end of the park is what I call “The Gardens,” which comprises what the management refers to as “the original gardens” and the water ski arena. Proceeding south, you enter Topiary Trail, a gentle valley that extends from the water ski arena to the entrance to Jubilee Junction. Here you will find the lovely Italian Fountain and the Mediterranean Waterfall. The waterfall is artificial and fed by thousands of gallons of recycled lake water; the stream that flows from its base to the lake marks the approximate center line of the park.
For this survey of Cypress Gardens attractions, I will start at the north end of the park, describing the “original” botanical gardens and their surrounding attractions, and then move directly to Jubilee Junction at the opposite end. Finally, I will describe Adventure Grove and Splash Island.
For those with sufficient time, starting at the north end of the park and slowly wending your way southward is a highly efficient way in which to see the entire park. Assuming that there will be a few attractions you will pass up, the entire tour can be done in a day. Those who want to be absolutely thorough will probably have to return a second day to complete their survey.
The Gardens area contains relatively few attractions but they are the ones for which Cypress Gardens is justly famous. The water ski show area with its twin stadiums is the most prominent landmark in this section, so we’ll start there.
