Steve’s take
If you're taking the Florida Turnpike or US-27 down through central Florida instead of I-75 or I-95, Bok Tower Gardens is your anchor stop. The carillon bell concerts echo across the gardens like something out of a dream. This is the Florida detox stop — one quiet afternoon of beauty before Mickey Mouse takes over your entire existence.
