Rediscover Florida’s first theme park. Cypress Gardens Adventure Park blends its storied past with thrilling new adventures for a unique family experience. Encounter nature at its most glorious, thrill to 39 rides and Splash Island water park, explore a quaint village, visit with the Southern Belles, or enjoy the line up of daily shows.

Cypress Gardens offers exhilarating rides for kids of all sizes, including five roller coasters and the world’s tallest spinning rapids ride. Set along a classic amusement park board walk, the park offers a great selection of family favourites and heart-pounding thrill rides. Weather a Triple Hurricane, the park’s signature wooden coaster, or rocket to fun on Thunderbolt, the 120-foot shot tower. Citrus Line Railroad carries passengers on a trek around the park and Cypress Cove Ferry Line offers a scenic water ride between the north and south ends of the park.

Discover nature’s magnificence on a tranquil stroll through the historic botanical gardens and Magnolia Plantation, or wander along Topiary Trail, a dazzling display of floral sculpture. Surround yourself with the spectacular beauty of hundreds of colourful butterflies in the lush foliage of Wings of Wonder.

Discover gallons of refreshing fun at Splash Island! Cypress Gardens’ water park invites kids of all ages to slip, slide, float and splash the day away. Conquer the towering slides of Tonga Tubes and Voodoo Plunge or simply float lazily down Paradise River. Storm Polynesian Adventure; then brave the waves of Kowabunga Bay! And it’s included with Cypress Gardens’ admission!

Nestled inside quaint buildings at Jubilee Junction are specialty shops, amazing displays, and tantalizing treats for all. Work up an appetite because a wide array of tempting morsels is offered in this town, from Aunt Julie’s Country Kitchen and Backwater Bill’s BBQ to Jubilee Marketplace and True Confections.

Guests gasp in wonder at the gravity defying water-ski shows as Cypress Gardens again becomes the water ski capitol of the world. Enjoy a breathtaking ice skating spectacular in the Royal Palm Theater or laugh your way to the seven seas with the “Pirates of Cypress Cove,” a side-splitting pirate parody. Discover the graceful beauty of the Living Garden, where art comes to life. Enjoy a line up of more than 50 all-star concerts, fabulous seasonal events, and a chance to come face-to-face with native Florida animals.
