Young and old alike will enjoy the indoor exhibit buildings, the outdoor exhibits, walking trails and of course the flat-bottom boats called bateaus. The indoor exhibit buildings include a wonderful tropical Butterfly House, a Freshwater Aquarium & Reptile Center that showcases many of the aquatic animals that are native to the swamp, but can rarely be seen due to the dark, mirror-like reflecting water of the swamp. The recently constructed Nature Center displays educational exhibits. The outdoor exhibit areas include Crocodile Isle, a showcase of numerous species of crocodiles, and exhibits of the American Alligator, turtles and birds. Of course, the crowning glory of Cypress Gardens is the swamp itself. The reflections of the tall bald cypress and tupelo trees in the water are spectacular. Enjoy a boat ride into the swamp and experience one of natures most amazing treasures, the gentle beauty of a southern cypress swamp. Surrounding the swamp are scenic trails with bridges, lovely garden paths, old growth trees, and picturesque views.AlleyGatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08802411159906860378noreply@blogger.com
