Best known for historic botanical gardens, Cypress Gardens has continued to grow much like the garden its roots were planted in more than 72 years ago.

Native plants and exotic species combine in a magnificent display creating a horticultural masterpiece across more than 30 acres.  Standing sentinel in the historic gardens is the giant Banyan tree, which was planted in 1939 from a seedling during the Gardens’ early years.  The botanical gardens world-famous vista is complimented by the pristine wedding gazebo where couples from around the world continue to share their vows to this very day.
