We were on vacation from southeast Michigan and wanted to see the improvements to the stadium and see a game. I ordered tickets day of the game and got great seats behind home plate. The stadium looks fantastic, the BEST in Florida. Parking was free....amazing! It happened to be "dollar dog" night and a large souvenir cup of soda for $5.00 and $2.00 refills, the best value of any ball park I have visited. The staff are the friendliest, can't wait to go back!!! THANK YOU!

Daily tours available highlighting this truly unique collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture at Florida Southern College.
Reviewed By Roamingbears - St. Petersburg, United States
Unexpectedly fabulous campus hidden in Central Florida with numerous gems of FLW architecture including one building built a few years ago using his plans. Great tour (we got multiple discounts by reserving tour space online and by being old people) conducted by a knowledgeable docent. Disappointed that the main chapel was closed for renovations to be completed at the end of June but it is open to the public without a tour so we can catch that next time in Lakeland. We chose the basic tour which covers lots of ground, literally, so be prepared!

This is iconic Lakeland and all of its glory. A beautiful place for a walk, picnic, outdoor workout, reading, riding, etc. Adjacent to downtown and Hollis Gardens, it’s worth the morning or afternoon visit. The middle of the day can be the hottest as the shade is limited; but sunsets are stunning for a location so centrally located from the coastlines. It’s just s great spot to enjoy.

Lakeland has an excellent resource in Munn Park. I wish one of Lakeland's "First Fridays" would be an event honoring local performing artists. Each contributing member (booth) should include a performing artist. Make a one First Friday full of music, a collage of music.
