I have lived in FL for a total of about 18;years and never knew this amazing place was less than a 2 hour drive from home. I also didn't exactly know what Bok Tower was, and had no idea that music come out of the Tower at certain times of the day. For a simplified explanation, the Tower houses a series of 60 bells that play tunes by a single person using a type of keyboard. The gardens are stunning and I really enjoyed walking the grounds. The visitors center has great information on the man who had the Tower built, and a lot of details on the Tower. The Tower itself was not open to the public but twice daily they have someone performing a concert that was about 30 min long. I highly recommend this place!!!

Absolutely loved it! So much so that I purchased a membership, which grants you either free admission or 50% off admission to about 50 gardens or history centers throughout FL. A regular annual membership is $60 but it’s only $30 for students. Bok Tower Gardens is well-kept, with a wonderful variety of greenery and plenty of places to sit & enjoy. There were a lot of people picnicking and napping. Definitely worth the trip. Bring some snacks and a blanket and you can easily spend a few relaxing hours here.

Very serene and beautiful garden escape from the city. We had a great time on our relaxing stroll along the many paths they have to walk. Lots of flowers, shrubs, and trees that have labels to let you know what you’re admiring. The tower “sings” at various points throughout the day when they have someone playing the bells (they even have a live viewing area that you can sit and watch the player play). Highly recommend this place if you’re in the Orlando/Tampa area!

Exquisite park. Wander around the beautiful grounds... admire the plants, the views, the incredible bell tower. And don't forget to have lunch at the Cafe on premises. Great food. The children's area is extremely well thought out. A fun area for kids of any age!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Are pets allowed on leash

Betty Couvertier | Jun 21, 2018
Jarred Mattingly | Jun 22, 2018

Bok Tower Gardens is a popular National Historic Landmark and has been voted Florida's Best Garden. Pets are not allowed in the Gardens, however there is a "pet pen" where well-behaved, quiet pets may stay while their humans visit the Gardens. Bok Tower Gardens describes their pet pens as "open-air, chain-link, enclosed, and unattended with what available (you will have to provide a water bowl)." Arrangements for the pet pens must be made at the Tower & Garden Gift Shop. There is a $10 charge to use a pen, $4.65 of which is refundable upon return of the lock. There are only two pet pens available for use, so please contact the Gift Shop prior to arrival to ensure availability for your visit.
