Hammock Hollow Children's Garden at Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales features a Fairy Garden where young visitors explore themed outdoor spaces. Children navigate winding paths through oak trees with Spanish moss and flowering hydrangeas across mulched grounds. The gardens invite families to discover hands-on learning experiences and interact with natural surroundings designed for exploration. Bok Tower Gardens operates daily and charges admission for general access. Active duty military members receive free garden admission with proper identification, plus discounted admission for up to four accompanying friends or family members. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website. The broader gardens offer hiking trails, seasonal events, and educational programs alongside the children's spaces at boktowergardens.org.
Hours: Daily 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., with last admission at 5:00 p.m.
