Historic Winter Park by Land and Sea Featuring Mister Rogers Walking Tour

While many well-known celebrities have passed through this beautiful village over its rich history, probably no one impacted Winter Park more than Fred Rogers, lovingly known the world over to millions of people as the unforgettable host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood for over 50 years now. Explore the neighborhood that shaped Mister Rogers, where you’ll learn how Fred began a lifetime ministry of serving others through the medium of television, including how he was impacted by a mural on the Rollins College campus. Walk in the same places that Fred and his wife Joanne did as you come to better understand this legendary and wonderfully creative, kind man who left such a uniquely positive influence on the world. Rogers influenced many writers and producers of children's television shows, and his broadcasts provided comfort during tragic events, even after his death. Fred Rogers is the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Emmy and the Presidential Medal of Freedom and was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame.

Following the tour, you’ll embark on a relaxing, narrated, one-hour cruise through the lakes and manmade canals of historic Winter Park, the only 'true' way to see the beauty of Winter Park. On any given tour, participants may observe large cranes swooping waterside to snag a large fish or a lazy alligator languishing on a nearby bank. Every tour guarantees plenty of swaying palms, towering cypress trees, lush ferns and a variety of flourishing sub-tropical flowers.  Breathtaking views of opulent private homes and exquisite estates sprawling along the shores are also a key feature of the scenic cruise.

Your tour concludes with lunch at Bovine in the upscale, cobblestoned Park Avenue District.
