Default Great place to visit

Been there 4 times in last 3 years. Very relaxing, pretty and unusual. You won't see a carillon tower like that too often anywhere much less Lake Wales, FL. Nice gardens and good walking paths. Nice volunteers who are mostly older locals who are as interesting as Bok and love to talk about it.

I see they have a Mothers Day show coming up which would be a nice time to go. Boktoberfest was a good event if you want to wait till October.

Don't miss the walking tour of Pinewood Estate. Beautiful place. Best time is Christmas when each room is highly decorated by competing artists. Terrific job. Remember to ask about Mountain Lakes.

Get there early enough for coffee and a bun on the veranda at the Blue Palmetto cafe. Very nice.

Check the website for hours, etc.

Was going to close recommending an end of day meal at Chalet Suzanne but alas, Chalet Suzanne in Lake Wales to Close After 83 Years of Business | TheLedger.com.
