Cypress Gardens has now reopened as Cypress Gardens Adventure Park. In addition to a new shopping and restaurant village, 38 rides have been added in the complete renovation of the park. Many of the old familiar sights, such as southern belles strolling around in antebellum dresses have been retained and the botanical gardens restored to their former glory.

Cypress Gardens Adventure Park, Florida’s first theme park, blends it’s storied past with sensational new thrills. Discover 38 exciting rides, including four roller coasters and the world’s tallest spinning rapids ride. Enjoy all-star concerts, spectacular daily shows and a craftsmen’s village. Revisit the historic gardens, beautiful belles and the world-famous water ski shows. 

Cypress Gardens was founded in 1936 to become Central Florida’s first tourist attraction. The park’s original run lasted 67 years, closing in 2003. Grassroots efforts to save the park from being razed prevailed and the park reopened in December 2004, beginning the newest chapter of the gardens’ long history. 

Choose from 38 Rides
With more than three dozen rides, screams of joy are now as common as the flower blossoms at Cypress Gardens Adventure Park. The park offers a great selection of children’s favorites, fun for the whole family attractions and heart-pounding thrill rides, including 4 coasters and the world’s tallest spinning rapids ride. Discover two adventure zones filled with exhilarating attractions. Rides in Paradise Pier are set along a boardwalk in the style reminiscent of old–style amusement parks and Adventure Grove offers excitement set amongst a backdrop of the park’s natural beauty. 

The Botanical Gardens
Glorious again! Neglect and hurricanes couldn’t erase the gardens that made the park famous. Native plants and exotic species combine in a magnificent display creating a horticultural masterpiece. Standing sentinel in the historic gardens is the giant Banyan tree, which was planted in 1939 from a seedling during the park’s early years. Topiary Trail features a collection of colorful topiaries, including a variety of animals such as a rabbit, swan and serpent. The crowning gem in this trail of jewels is the waterfall, a sparkling cascade accented by brilliant floral blossoms. The Plantation Gardens grace the manicured landscape of Snively Mansion and include the aromatic herb garden, a glorious rose garden and the butterfly garden adjoining Wings of Wonder.
