It's comforting to know that even if we miss a Daily Woo due to a busy schedule, we can always unwind at the end of the night with a mini binge. No better way to end the day. Thanks Adam.
Any man who likes a moat around his "place" is a man after my own heart! I often tell DH that our retirement cabin is gonna be surrounded by a moat...heheheheh. Safe travels, hun. 😆
THANKS so much I know you won't remember but I suggested Bok Tower a long time ago I was so excited to see you finally got there - keep on seeking, searching and learning
What a great vlog today! My grandparents used to live in Lake Wales and a lot of the stops you made today brought back a ton of awesome memories! Thank you Adam the Woo!!!!
such a fun, interesting and absolutely beautiful location! thank you for sharing this incredible place with us!! safe travels and have a beautiful weekend! lots of love and hugs from Seattle!💕
Having visited central Florida back in 2012 the bok tower / spook hill segment brought so many memories as it was one of our favourite places! Thanks for the video rob for the uk
Thanks for the stroll down Memory Lane with the Mystery Mobile and the trip to the 80's Arcade Store. When I was a little kid "Scooby Doo Where Are You" was one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoon shows. It still is! I remember when the first video games from Intellivision came on the market in the late 1970's-early 1980's. The first video game I ever played was "Space Armada". I loved playing Pac Man and Burger Time too!
Fun fact! The town I live in, Alturas, was once considered the highest point in Florida. Alturas means altitude in spanish. Highway 60 almost came right through here, until the discovery of the land where Bok Tower is.
The bells are actually a Carillon. Its a very interesting musical instrument and takes years to master. I love that they still have one there, there arent many left!
My husband's stomping grounds is Lake Wales. We tried to live down there. He took me to spook hill. Really cool, but him being him explained what makes the car roll "up" hill
Love Spook Hill. but have only gone when temps in the 90's. Couldn't even conceive spending the money to go to Bok Towers and walk around in the heat. Thanks for letting me see what I have been missing. I have enjoyed the beautiful music because you can hear it from a distance.
The next time you go, sneak in some unsalted, raw peanuts. They used to actually sell them there to feed the squirrels. Even though you can't buy them there anymore, the squirrels still remember. They'll take them right out of your hands but it does get pretty scary when you have 15-20 squirrels following you and you start to run low on peanuts. I love Bok Tower.
There was a carillon.... well still is, on the Campus of the University of Northern Iowa, in Cedar Falls. My brother and I used to climb up and watch the man play.... it was utterly fascinating to watch... but man was it hot in there in the summer. He would play in a pair of shorts only. The bells were so beautiful and relaxing to listen to. GREAT vlog, Adam!
I love Bok tower! Its a beautiful place. Just don't look in the bushes around the edges of the pond. Last time I was there, there were a bunch of snakes hanging off the bushes.
Yes, we went there once, there was a big snake sunning himself on a rock by the pond. Also went when there were flying worm things dropping from the trees! Glad I had a hat that day. Lovely place, though. Peaceful.
The tower is also known as The Singing Tower, and it was built by Dutch immigrant Edward Bok, who had it built in 1929. The gardens were begun in 1921, and were designed by the noted ladscape architech Frederic Law Olmstead, who designed, New York's Central Park, among many other beautiful parks. Mr. Bok was the editor of the popular women's magazine, The Ladies Home Journal.
We have a road like that here by my house in Franklin Lakes, NJ. It is in the magazine Weird NJ. They call it Gravity Hill. Ewing Ave exit off Route 208 South if you are ever traveling thru NJ!
Hey, Mr. The Woo. Interesting WDW trivia related to this video. The bell instrument thing is called a carillon. You might have seen a "portable" version of one at EPCOT Center, I know in '99 when I was there. The guy that owns it would be contracted to play at EPCOT. He was also on America's Got Tallent. You can check out videos of him.
Man, I wish Casper had been our school mascot. Because my high school opened in the late '60s, we were the Space Pioneers. Yeah. I've been out of school almost 20 years, and I'm still scratching my head over that one. Happy Friday, all!
I loved the Mystery Machine and the 80's store. Oh, how I miss the 80's. The gardens were absolutely beautiful, it is awesome the man who created it gets to rest there forever. I hope that web didn't stick it to you after your tumble and you had a sore neck all night. Hoping you have a great weekend. Until tomorrow...
Bok Tower Garden looked so beautiful. We are going to make a point to go next time we are there! And that game store!!! My son would love it. Thanks for showing us, and have a great day!
Hi Adam! It's great to see that you hit up the Winter Haven area. Now I wish I hadn't stayed home that day in Lake Wales. One day I hope to meet you as you are one of my favorite celebrities. Keep up the travels and adventures! Comment......over!
What? Never been to Bok Tower? Oh so peaceful! The Friends of Bok tower have made it such a cool place. Glad you got to see it. I think your Mom would like it too.
Thank you for this!!! I loved Bok Tower when we lived there.... Dad actually worked in Lake Wales, but we lived in a small town named Lake Alfred.... I can't wait to show my husband tonight. I keep telling him about this place.. The carillons are beautiful. I didn't see it, but they used to have lots of squirrels and beautiful black and white swans in the reflection pond. LOL we used to take everyone that came to visit over to Spook Hill. Thanks for all those beautiful memories!
Its dope when you meet up and bring along fans or Tim or Justin ! Arcade 80s looked so rad I used to have a teddy ruxpin he would talk aww the memories
No more sugar in the coffee! A little more cream is okay. I dropped sugar when I saw cowboys doing without it on a Rawhide episode after they lost their chuck wagon supplies. Got used to it in a few days. Now coffee tastes great, like actual coffee.
3:15, I'm having flashbacks to your bicycle/slide incident, lol. Pretty cool arcade store, walking into that store must have been like taking a step back to your childhood for sure. I think I wore my old super Contra game out back in the day. One thing that always bothered me with those games is you had to blow on them sometimes to get them to work, then about halfway through the game the screen would go haywire.
I would never wish you harm, but your physical humor always makes me laugh. Please keep it up...just be safe. Btw, I've often seen the tower from a distance, but never knew anything about it...thanks for sharing. Great vlog.
How about a little Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head next time it rains? I can't remember the name of the mountain, but years ago when my parents and I visited New Brunswick, Canada, we went up one where if you turn your car off it will actually pull your car uphill several miles. And I actually had that ET game as a kid. It might even still be in the attic for all I know.
Adam, couldn't you hook up an old NES in your RV now? All you'd need is an old TV (unless one is already in there, even a flatscreen would work) and the power and AV cables. They go for not very expensive on eBay, and you can probably find a bundle with some games to start out with.
I love the Old School 80s Arcade Shop! brings back memory's Playing the Old Nintendo console, Playing Super bros, and Super Mario 2&3. plus does any body remember Commodore 64! that was Awesome too when i first played on it when i was 11 in 1989. Ca't beat the 80s 90s!
It's comforting to know that even if we miss a Daily Woo due to a busy schedule, we can always unwind at the end of the night with a mini binge. No better way to end the day. Thanks Adam.
It's almost midnight hear in Australia. But when you get the notification for the daily woo...sleep must wait
Happy to catch you early, Adam! Boiled peanuts, warm...STAT!
Had a great time with you yesterday. You see stuff in my town that I don't even notice anymore, like the Mystery Machine bus! Have a great day bud!
good times !
You kept me in stitches all day! :D
Thank you!
It was pretty cool to see both of you guys together. Great job guys.
George @ 9:22 your dash peeling back from the sun (I have the same car it does that too) we both need glue ...LOL
3:15 I didn't mean to laugh, but man that was hilarious! And then you slowed it down, and the Oww! I was rolling on the floor. Good stuff, fellas.
i don't know how you can find such interesting things day after day but keep it up man. nice way to start my day.
Its a challenge sometimes but it keeps me on my toes
TheDailyWoo I'd love to meet you, I live within an hour or two from there
Any man who likes a moat around his "place" is a man after my own heart! I often tell DH that our retirement cabin is gonna be surrounded by a moat...heheheheh. Safe travels, hun. 😆
Scooby doo and the Mystery machine were on a secret stake out and it would have worked if not for you meddling kids !
THANKS so much I know you won't remember but I suggested Bok Tower a long time ago I was so excited to see you finally got there - keep on seeking, searching and learning
As soon as I wake up I watch The Woo. It helps ya know.
What a great vlog today! My grandparents used to live in Lake Wales and a lot of the stops you made today brought back a ton of awesome memories! Thank you Adam the Woo!!!!
such a fun, interesting and absolutely beautiful location! thank you for sharing this incredible place with us!!
safe travels and have a beautiful weekend!
lots of love and hugs from Seattle!💕
Spook Hill is like our local attraction Magnetic Hill in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada!! Awesome video Adam, Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing
Having visited central Florida back in 2012 the bok tower / spook hill segment brought so many memories as it was one of our favourite places! Thanks for the video rob for the uk
Good Morning Adam!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU R WORK!!!
That 80s store was insane! Thats my dreamjob!
who needs cable TV when you have TDW to watch everyday! :)
Have a great day everyone
Thanks for the stroll down Memory Lane with the Mystery Mobile and the trip to the 80's Arcade Store. When I was a little kid "Scooby Doo Where Are You" was one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoon shows. It still is!

So what's the point of the tower? You can't get near it or go in it. Bizarre
The general public is not allowed to go into Cinderella Castle to see Walt's apartment either. WEIRD!
Fun fact! The town I live in, Alturas, was once considered the highest point in Florida. Alturas means altitude in spanish. Highway 60 almost came right through here, until the discovery of the land where Bok Tower is.
lol the way the phone was placed at first it looked like the car was going down hill. that arcade 80s place is like my heaven.....
I love it when the Woo does stunts! So entertaining!
The bells are actually a Carillon. Its a very interesting musical instrument and takes years to master. I love that they still have one there, there arent many left!
Born and raised in Tampa FLA. I remember my parents taking me and my two sisters to Spook hill and the tower...thanx for bringing back the memories
Lol best bit was the spider web, seriously though I love your vlogs they are just so jam packed with interesting stuff. x
That tower is beautiful. Would love to visit it one day. Nice to see a fellow Woovian in your vlog :-)
That was so much fun Adam. You never disappoint. Thank you.
I remember seeing this retro store on George's Channel. Pretty cool.
Wow..this was wonderful..peaceful to watch!
My husband's stomping grounds is Lake Wales. We tried to live down there. He took me to spook hill. Really cool, but him being him explained what makes the car roll "up" hill
That's one spooky hill!! Thanks Adam, enjoy the nice warm weather. 🙋❤
that 80s place was awesome! morning adam!
The way you fell off the cargo net...hilarious. Thank you for the laughs buddy.
adam, so glad you got to go there, i went as a child-it was awesome!!
Love Spook Hill. but have only gone when temps in the 90's. Couldn't even conceive spending the money to go to Bok Towers and walk around in the heat. Thanks for letting me see what I have been missing. I have enjoyed the beautiful music because you can hear it from a distance.

They'll take them right out of your hands but it does get pretty scary when you have 15-20 squirrels following you and you start to run low on peanuts. I love Bok Tower.
I used to do that, but I don't think we saw a single squirrel that day. Weird.
There was a carillon.... well still is, on the Campus of the University of Northern Iowa, in Cedar Falls. My brother and I used to climb up and watch the man play.... it was utterly fascinating to watch... but man was it hot in there in the summer. He would play in a pair of shorts only. The bells were so beautiful and relaxing to listen to. GREAT vlog, Adam!
I love Bok tower! Its a beautiful place. Just don't look in the bushes around the edges of the pond. Last time I was there, there were a bunch of snakes hanging off the bushes.
oh my gosh no thanks !
I grew up in Lakeland I used to go there as a kid for picnics. I live in Land O Lakes, FL now.

Loved that retro game store!
I loved the Mystery Machine and the 80's store. Oh, how I miss the 80's. The gardens were absolutely beautiful, it is awesome the man who created it gets to rest there forever.

Looked like the car was going downhill to me. Optical illusion.
Bok Tower Garden looked so beautiful. We are going to make a point to go next time we are there! And that game store!!! My son would love it. Thanks for showing us, and have a great day!
Hi Adam! It's great to see that you hit up the Winter Haven area. Now I wish I hadn't stayed home that day in Lake Wales. One day I hope to meet you as you are one of my favorite celebrities. Keep up the travels and adventures! Comment......over!
Awesome, love Greg's channel!

You and your fam do the same things I like to do! And your videos are creative! :D
What? Never been to Bok Tower? Oh so peaceful! The Friends of Bok tower have made it such a cool place. Glad you got to see it. I think your Mom would like it too.
Awesome that Arcade is only 2 miles away from my new house i am renting! looks like I have some exploring to do.
yeah definitely check it out
I always enjoy listening to chime or organ music..That was cool to see the Mystery Bus RV. I do love looking at gardens and what is out..
Good one Adam, really enjoyed it. Life's simple pleasures are the best.
Thank you for this!!! I loved Bok Tower when we lived there.... Dad actually worked in Lake Wales, but we lived in a small town named Lake Alfred.... I can't wait to show my husband tonight. I keep telling him about this place.. The carillons are beautiful. I didn't see it, but they used to have lots of squirrels and beautiful black and white swans in the reflection pond. LOL we used to take everyone that came to visit over to Spook Hill. Thanks for all those beautiful memories!
I love that place! I think that's the most beautiful place in Central Florida.
Adam! Excellent restraint on the petunias! How refreshing.
Its dope when you meet up and bring along fans or Tim or Justin ! Arcade 80s looked so rad I used to have a teddy ruxpin he would talk aww the memories
I love your singing....such an awesome channel
No more sugar in the coffee! A little more cream is okay. I dropped sugar when I saw cowboys doing without it on a Rawhide episode after they lost their chuck wagon supplies. Got used to it in a few days. Now coffee tastes great, like actual coffee.
We have a road like that here in WA called Gravity Hill, never done it but heard about it, looks like i might have to try it lol
3:15, I'm having flashbacks to your bicycle/slide incident, lol. Pretty cool arcade store, walking into that store must have been like taking a step back to your childhood for sure.

This was really cool Adam!
awesome vlog adam
Another great video !
Great vlog, so glad you met-up with, Greg. He's a cool guy.
Adam you really cracked me up in today's VLOG.

Nice. Thank you Adam.
That arcade looks so awesome !
11:18 - For NES game TMNT 3, it was A-B-Start.
Love your videos, Adam!
Another good one Adam , next time i'm in Florida I am going to try to check that place out .
Bok Tower & gardens is a really neat place. First time there late last year.
Bok Tower kinda reminds me of Coit Tower in SF.
I would never wish you harm, but your physical humor always makes me laugh. Please keep it up...just be safe. Btw, I've often seen the tower from a distance, but never knew anything about it...thanks for sharing. Great vlog.
its nice to see u went to bok tower. its nice to see it still looks the same from when I visited as a kid. keep up the videos.
I always enjoy your Back to the Future references.
How about a little Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head next time it rains?
I can't remember the name of the mountain, but years ago when my parents and I visited New Brunswick, Canada, we went up one where if you turn your car off it will actually pull your car uphill several miles.
And I actually had that ET game as a kid. It might even still be in the attic for all I know.
great video guys thank you !
The Mystery Machine got upgraded!
There's a documentary about the unearthing of atari games, if I remember correctly, it's on Netflix
Adam, couldn't you hook up an old NES in your RV now? All you'd need is an old TV (unless one is already in there, even a flatscreen would work) and the power and AV cables. They go for not very expensive on eBay, and you can probably find a bundle with some games to start out with.
Hey Adam,been watching for a year now and love your videos!!! Just wanted to say hi!!!
I really like the tower.
That 80's store is cool. Were they selling the Teddy Ruxpen (sp?)? How much?
TOMORROW...MAR.25 , IS THE ONE YEAR ANIVERSARY OF THE INFAMOUS BIKE ACCIDENT EPISODE!
You falling down the spider rope for some reason reminds me of a guy and a bike going down a slide. Lol. Be careful out there!
I love the Old School 80s Arcade Shop! brings back memory's Playing the Old Nintendo console, Playing Super bros, and Super Mario 2&3. plus does any body remember Commodore 64! that was Awesome too when i first played on it when i was 11 in 1989. Ca't beat the 80s 90s!
Have a great day everyone
Thank you sir! You as well!
Hahahahaha
You rock, Adam! Thanks for the great adventures and entertainment. Definitely worth my $$ more than cable!
Adam you looked like a tumbling tumble weed on that spiders web
For whom the bell tolls?
