If you are like most of the eight million people who visit the Islands of Adventure each year, you will rush through the turnstiles and race towards the park’s “good stuff.” But take a minute to appreciate the subtleties around the Port of Entry. An example is this building with the starburst tiles. It is patterned after the iconic California Bell Tower at Balboa Park in San Diego. Or this taxi which is a stationery piece of artwork. There are also a pair of romantic white doves that coo along the roof tops, cannons that point out of battlements, retail window panes named after park designers and so much more. Several articles are available online to help with your visual treasure hunt.
