The Singing Tower at Bok Tower Gardens houses a 60-bell carillon, which is one of the largest and most renowned in the world.
The gardens were designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., who also worked on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Designated in 1993, the gardens are recognized for their significant contributions to American culture and landscape architecture.
The gardens provide a sanctuary for over 126 species of birds, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers.
The gardens were established by Edward W. Bok as a token of gratitude to the country that gave him opportunities for success.
The tower is an exquisite example of neo-Gothic and art deco architecture, standing 205 feet tall.
Edward W. Bok, the founder of the gardens, was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author for his autobiography, "The Americanization of Edward Bok."
The gardens are renowned for their azaleas, camellias, and magnolias, which provide vibrant displays throughout the year.
