"Beautiful building and gardens."

Reviewed August 14, 2025 NEW

The gardens are beautiful and there are benches throughout so you can sit in shade and enjoy things. The tower is also a beautiful building. When the bells are not being played live they will play via recording. Much of the music seems dissonant to me and the people with me. Maybe it is better live. If you are going to see the tower or enjoy the gardens it is well worth a visit. If you are going to enjoy the bells I would only look at going when there is a live concert.

"Beautiful Garden!"

Reviewed August 11, 2025 NEW

Weather was perfect - meaning no pronosticated rain. We live about an hour away and we went on a Saturday. Not too many people and we parked easily. Grounds are well kept, and you walk leisurely. You can take a blanket and sit on the grounds and enjoy a beautiful view and the sound of the bells ringing. Repairs were being done so the area. Worth going and experiencing the tranquility and beauty.

"Spend a few hours exploring the gardens, gift shop and cafe."

We diverted from our trip to St Augustine to visit Bok Tower & Gardens. It was truly beautiful and soul inspiring. I really appreciate these amazing historic places. It was definitely off the beaten path.

Stunning, beautiful, spacious, well maintained and clean. Spent a glorious 4 hours here, wandering along the footpaths, sat listening to the Singing Tower and enjoying the views. The cafe was clean, service great, food freshly prepared. Loved my experience.

"No Music!!"

Reviewed July 03, 2025

The setting and gardens are amazing. However, I came to hear the bells . The concert schedule for today was 1 &3pm. We drove 80 miles, toured the gardens, and timed our tour to hear the 1pm concert. 1 pm came and went and no bells, no concert!! We asked staff what happened, no answer, and just a shrug. I understand that July is when maintenance is scheduled, but this is July 4th week. If you're not going to adhere to the schedule, then post it on the website!!😡 Very Disappointed!!!
