Down the road a bit in Lake Wales we had heard about the Bok Tower and decided to visit. The tower is very tall and contains Carillon Bells.  Bok Tower

The bells are played daily.

This gives you an idea of the size of the largest of the bells.

In the same location are the Bok gardens.

The tower contains 60 bells weighing 16 pounds to 12 tons.

The 205 foot tower is located on one of the highest points of land in Florida.  Edward Bok was laid to rest at the base of the tower. 

 Also on the property is also a viewing area by a pond that has a one way window to view the birds around the pond.
