Welcome to the online Press Room for Bok Tower Gardens. Located approximately 55 miles southwest of Orlando or east of Tampa near Lake Wales on peninsular Florida's highest point, the 250-acre Bok Tower Gardens is one of Florida's original tourism venues.
Bok Tower Gardens was created by first-generation Dutch immigrant Edward W. Bok, as his gift to the American people. The Sanctuary is home to landscape gardens designed by the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., as well as Florida's first and now internationally renowned carillon, which is encased in a majestic coquina and marble belltower. Also located on the grounds is a splendid 1930s Mediterranean-style mansion called Pinewood Estate. The Gardens hosts an average of 150,000 visitors each year.
