- Outdoors Activities travel tip
- City center
by The tower houses a library, which sadly enough is not open to the public, however, the gardens are a great place to take a walk and relax. There are acres of ferns, palms, oaks, pines, and wetland plants, as well as exotic species as bunya-bunya trees, papyrus or camellias, and the grounds are a refuge for lots of bird species, including a large flock of swans.
Also, the garden's squirrels are quite friendly and unafraid of humans(that is, they beg food from visitors).
Address:
1151 Tower Blvd, Lake Wales, FL 33853, USA
Price:
$10
Opening Hours:
8AM to 6PM
