Description: Cypress Gardens, FLORIDA - Acqua Maids - Waterskiing - 1951 - Bathing Beauty Bikinis: Cypress Gardens was a botanical garden and theme park near Winter Haven, Florida that operated from 1936 to 2009. As of 2011, the botanical garden portion had been preserved inside the newly formed Legoland Florida. Billed as Florida's first commercial tourist theme park, Cypress Gardens opened on January 2, 1936, as a botanical garden planted by Dick Pope Sr. and his wife Julie. Over the years it became one of the biggest attractions in Florida, known for its water ski shows, gardens, and Southern Belles. It became known as the "Water Ski Capital of the World" because it was the site of many of the sport's landmark firsts and over 50 world records were broken there. During World War II, soldiers visited and waterskiing was introduced for their entertainment. This Linen Era postcard, published in 1951, is in good condition. Genuine Curteich-Chicago. "C.T. Art Colortone” No. 1C-H1494.
