Ongoing Events

Florida LIVE! Alligator Feedings
Watch as animal care specialists from GATORLAND® feed the alligators in Gator Springs. To see the action, head over to the St. Augustine atrium on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. (subject to change).

 

Every night is a Sunset Celebration!
In the tradition established in the Southernmost City, Gaylord Palms breaks into a nightly celebration of its own. If you're looking for the party, head to the Key West Atrium at 6:00 p.m., the official hour of sundown at Gaylord Palms. This is when the party starts... and continues all night long. Enjoy live music, festive drinks, performers and the general spectacle of this nightly atrium party. Hop aboard the S.S. Gaylord schooner and grab a specialty drink from the "catalog" of drinks. Try one of the infused rums that are made at the bar, available in many great flavors. If you're hungry, enjoy the appetizers at Sunset Sam's Fish Camp. Special appetizer towers feature the best apps this side of Cuba. Or, go for the calamari. You won't be sorry!

 

Sunday Brunch at Villa de Flora
Our favorite Sunday afternoon retreat? Under the atrium at Gaylord Palms, a feast of the senses is ready. From rosemary-brushed roast beef to omelets prepared to order, Brunch at Villa de Flora has something for everybody. Roaming musicians add spice to the already extravagant event. Featuring 6 stations and more than 70 items, Brunch at Villa de Flora has become the place to go for a memorable meal.

 

Kick back at Auggie's Jammin' Piano Bar
In the heart of the St. Augustine atrium—just off of St. George Street—you'll find the resort's soul. It's called Auggie's Jammin' Piano Bar... but don't mistake the name. Although Auggie's was designed in the tradition of the intimate piano rooms of yesteryear, this is no ordinary hotel piano bar. At Auggie's you'll find two pianos and an evening of high-energy performances.

 

La Petite Academy Kid's Station
Looking to have a romantic dinner, but the babysitter has homework? Try La Petite Academy Kid's Station, located inside Gaylord Palms Resort. Operated by the experts at La Petite Academy, this 5,000-square-foot facility offers drop-in childcare. Your kids will love it!

Kid's Station is located the Lower Level, accessible via Emerald Bay Elevator B off of the St. Augustine atrium. For more information, please call (407) 586-2505.
