The pleasant location of SLOVAK GARDEN on the outskirts of metropolitan Orlando, in Winter Park, places its residents within walking distance from shopping centers and public transportation. Churches of various denominations are nearby. About 30 miles to the south are the world famous entertainment complexes of Disney World, Epcot Center, Sea World, Universal Studios, Wet and Wild, and others.

The world famous Daytona Beach is a mere 60 miles away. Residents observe the launching of space craft right from SLOVAK GARDEN'S "back yard".

Those who are motoring follow I-4 to Route 436 (Semoran Blvd.). Take 436 to the east and continue to Howell Branch Road. At Howell Branch Road, turn east (to the left). SLOVAK GARDEN is a mere 3/l0ths of a mile on the right side.

The SLOVAK GARDEN officer library and museum are situated in the same building as the social hall and is open daily from 8:00 A.M. until 12 noon, weekends and other times by appointment only. I hope this answers most of your questions. We will be looking forward to visiting with you in the sunny land of Florida.
