Spectacular! By far the most beautiful, unique, peaceful, scenic gardens I've been to in this country. Tower carillon performances are magical. We lucked out and visited on Oct. 17th, Boktoberfest, when admission was free but the usual $10 entrance cost is well worth it. We brought a picnic and found a secluded spot to enjoy it. Lots of ...
I love Bok Tower and On April 18, 2009 I My husband and I had our fairy tale wedding here! The staff is very helpful and if you have never been it is BEAUTIFUL! The cost of our wedding package was 1395.00 and that includes the dressing room and they set upthe chairs for your guests for you! If you just wanted to go for the day the last time I ...
The gardens were large, quite and full of various plants and blooming flowers. You can walk around or just hang out on the lawn. I loved it and will go again!
After reading the review by the person who wanted to take some better photos I felt compelled to mention that we also had poor interaction with some of the employees at the garden. This was back around 1999 but it sounds like some things have not changed.

My fiance` and I got engaged at Bok Tower about a month and a half ago. The experience was wonderful. The gardens were beautiful, the people were helpful and friendly...everything went perfectly.
Well, while we were there on that day my fiance` asked one of the "welcoming" staff if we could bring a friend back and take engagement ...
is you like to be in touch with nature this is the place, peaceful, no rush, no to many peoples, we visit this place several time is lovely, also the mass for easter is very nice, we also recomend leu gardens in orlando ,fl
This beautiful sanctuary will always be a very special place to me. This valentines day my boyfriend took me here and proposed (I had told him about my visit as a child and he remembered :.) The garden is about as close as you can come to heaven on earth. There are breathtaking sights around every corner. It is absolutely the most serene, tranquil, romantic place in Florida. Very well worth the drive from Orlando...must see to appreciate!!
As newcomers to Florida, we were lucky enough to have neighbors that have visited before and asked us to join them in a trip to Lake Wales to visit the Bok Sanctuary. We loved the beauty of the plants,the flowers, the wonderful view at the point and most of all the breathtaking Bok tower. The detail work and beautiful coloring of the tower are just ...
Bok Tower is a wonderful place to go if you are looking for a quiet. inspirational place to go for the day. Even though it was winter, the place was beautifully kept.
The carillon recital was great, and it seemed like great attention to detail was given throughout the park.
I went alone, but I would definitely take my wife down for the day for both of us to enjoy!
This was such a peaceful, gorgeous place. The flowers are absolutely amazing and the whole atmosphere is wonderful. We live about 40 minutes away, but if I lived closer, I would definitely purchase the annual pass and go here just to walk, picnic, etc. Definitely worth your time and quite inexpensive, too.
