Cypress Gardens Adventure Park
New future for old park includes thrilling adventures!

By , About.com Guide

Adventure Grove

Imagine a cross between a turn-of-the-century amusement park and a county fair and you'll have a good picture of Adventure Grove. It's entertaining and charming and good clean fun for the entire family... even tiny tots.

Bugsville features several colorful rides just for the littlest adventurers in the family. Older kids and teens (yes, even parents) will enjoy the ferris wheel, tilt-a-whirl and a number of roller coasters. A wide variety of other rides that spin, twist, rise and fall and generally provide a few thrills round out this fun-for-the-family area.

Concerts & Special Events

What makes Cypress Gardens' Gold Pass one of the best values in Florida is that it entitles the passholder to free admission to all the concerts and special events. Nationally known entertainers perform in concert several times a year. Also, special events mark the park's calendar during the spring and Christmas holidays, as well as other times of the year.

Splash Island Water Park

This park within a park offers additional fun for the entire family, and the best part is there is no separate admission fee! Roll with the waves, float down a lazy river or zip down one of the many slides. It's all wet fun that feels great on a hot summer day.

The water park is seasonal and hours of operation vary, so check the online calendar before you go. Splash Island has changing room, showers and rental lockers for your convenience.
