The Bok Tower Gardens

About 25 miles south of Orlando is a magnificent garden that has a tower so beautiful that words could not describe. It is 205 feet tall and houses 60 bronze bells ranging from 16 pounds to 11 tons.

Every half-hour recorded and live music is played in the tower and can be heard all over the gardens. Twice a day at 1 and 3 pm live Carillon Music (the bells) is played. You can even go to a viewing area that has a television feed of the Carillonneur playing.

The gardens are designed for quiet reflection with many ponds and beautiful flowers. Here are some of the sights at the Bok Tower Gardens.
