Cypress Gardens the best value for Entertainment

When folks come to Florida for a visit they want to take in an amusement park. Most want one of the big ones that cost an arm and a leg. The best value for your money is Cypress Gardens. Last year we took our 5th grade there for the spring trip and it was everything they wanted and more. Not only do they have the educational part of the part with the butterfly garden but they also have wonderful topiary to walk through that are in the shapes of animals and more.
If that is not enough they have a wonderful water ski show that will have you on your feet and applauding. What fun for all ages. There are lots of rides and roller coasters for the enthusiast and a water park to float in and just pass the day away.
What amazed me most is the level of entertainment that is included in the ticket. Where else can you have all of this and Willie Nelson too? Yes, I said Wille. The outdoor arena is great for concerts and there are no bad seats in the house. The fun part about this area is the Jazzy Chair section. They have a section for those old rockers who are unable to stand and wave their arms. This was entertainment enough besides the name acts of our youth.
When my grandchildren come this year this is my park of choice. The admission is half that of the big name parks but the rides and quality is much better. The food in the park is reasonable too. There is a great buffet, a bar-b-que place with wonderful platters, and the hot dog-hamburger places.
Check out the link to this park and see if you don't agree this is the park to attend.
