Visited Bok Gardens Dec. 17, 2003. Surrounded by orange groves, Bok Tower was more beautiful than the picture in the brochure. The tower looks like it belongs in a fairy tale. Visitors are not allowed inside, but the tower and gardens well worth the hour drive from Orlando. After visiting I misplaced my camera case, fearing it gone forever, my husband said he would get me another, but it was the roll of film I had taken at Bok Gardens that I was upset about losing. Luckily, the case and film were found.

“Bell Recital at Bok Tower Gardens”
Historic Bok Sanctuary and Gardens
Nov 1, 2003
8/8 found this review helpful
We took our children to Bok Tower Gardens during a trip to Orlando, although we visited all the theme parks Bok Tower remains one of our top memories.Don't expect attraction or rides but you will fin the gardens a beautiful, serene, quiet haven full of flowers and wildlife.
During the bell recital the whole park fell silent as everyone sat in quiet reflection. You will discover a different Orlando at Bok Tower.The park is well worth a visit.
