Atriums & Grounds

Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center Celebration features three indoor atriums themed after Florida's diverse regions: Key West, St. Augustine, and the Everglades. Guests can walk through lush gardens, past waterfalls, ponds, and streams that house live alligators, turtles, and koi fish. The property also offers outdoor spaces like the Coquina Lawn and a garden with an outdoor fireplace and picnic area.

The resort's Cypress Springs Water Park includes a lazy river, water slides, a FlowRider surfing experience, and a kids' pool with swimming pool toys. Three outdoor heated pools are open year-round, each with pool bars, sun loungers, and sun umbrellas. The water park operates slides and attractions until early evening, and the entire area is fenced for safety.
