Winter Haven has many meanings to many people. For some it's as literal as it sounds . . . it's the perfect haven from the harsh Winter months up North. To others, Winter Haven means experiencing the lakeside lifestyle, with over 55 lakes to ski, wakeboard, paddleboard, kayak, flyboard, jet ski or simply watch the vibrant orange and pink sunsets from the dock while sipping on a glass of wine or a Winter Haven brewed craft beer.
Winter Haven is home to the most beautiful, entertaining and interactive theme park and hotel in the world, LEGOLAND Florida Resort. And yet to others, Winter Haven is a place of varied arts and cultural experiences from multiple art galleries and interactive artistic experiences, locally-owned artisanal restaurants and shopping, a restored historic downtown business district and the revival of locally-grown music at the Derry Down and the historic Ritz Theatre. It's also home to the one of Florida's best community theaters, Theatre Winter Haven.
