Access for the Disabled
Almost all of the park is wheelchair accessible, although some of the inclines are best negotiated with the help of a companion. The exceptions are the boat rides which may not be able to accommodate all disabled guests. Both wheelchairs and electric scooters can be rented just inside the entrance at the Jubilee Mercantile shop. Wheelchairs are $7.50 per day. Electric scooters are $32.10 a day, including tax.
Babies
Strollers can be rented near the entrance, on your left as you enter. Single strollers are $7.49 per day, doubles are $9.63 (including tax). Diaper changing stations can be found in most restrooms, men’s and women’s.
Emergencies
There is a first aid station in the Adventure Grove section. If you or someone in your party has a problem, contact the nearest park employee.
Junior Belles
One of the best things in the park is this program that lets your little girl get all dolled up, just like the grown-up Southern Belles, and stroll about the park for two hours in her finery. There is a $25 charge. Photos are extra, but reasonably priced.
Leaving the Park
You may leave the park and return during the day. Just make sure to have your hand stamped as you leave. This is true even if you have an annual pass!
Lockers
Coin-operated lockers ($1 for each use) are conveniently located throughout the park.
Money
There are ATMs scattered about the park, too, their locations marked on the park map. A fee of about $2 is charged for their use.
Pets
There is a small kennel for cats and dogs, but space is limited.
Safety
Cypress Gardens is open to all the birds and animals who take it into their minds to pay a visit. The park warns people not to feed the birds or other little critters because they are wild and unpredictable and may become aggressive. That’s good advice, but the squirrels are hard to resist. It’s unlikely that you’ll see an alligator during your visit but, if you do, remember that feeding wild alligators is not only stupid but illegal.
Special Diets
If you have special dietary needs, your best bet is Aunt Julie’s Country Kitchen, which offers a number of special meals on request.
