We talk about Disney World a lot around here, but there are some other GREAT theme parks in Florida. In fact, the theme park area where LEGOLAND Florida lives used to be home to Florida’s first theme park — Cypress Gardens.
As the name implies, Cypress Gardens was a “dream garden” created by Dick Pope, Sr., who once told his wife, “Someday we’ll build a Garden and attract visitors to Winter Haven!” according to VisitCentralFlorida.com. Amazingly, it worked.
