Fantasy of Flight and Bok Tower Gardens to Honor
Cypress Gardens' Annual Passes
Attractions Offer Added Value to
Pass Holders of Closed Theme Park
Fantasy of Flight, Central Florida's premier aviation attraction, and Bok Tower Gardens, a National Historic Landmark, recently announced that both Central Florida attractions will honor annual passes issued by Cypress Gardens Adventure Park, which closed Nov. 16 for an anticipated four months to undergo a major renovation. The attractions will honor all valid annual passes until their date of expiration. Additionally, Cypress Gardens annual pass holders will receive $5 off any level of membership to Fantasy of Flight and/or Bok Tower Gardens. Bok Tower Gardens also will honor unexpired complimentary one-time passes to Cypress Gardens. These offers are not valid with any other promotions, coupons or offers.
"Times are tough for a lot of businesses and a lot of individuals, and in the spirit of the holiday season, we wanted to offer Cypress Gardens' pass holders some additional value for the money they've already spent, as well as some entertainment options during the several months that Cypress Gardens will be closed," said Fantasy of Flight creator and founder Kermit Weeks.
