I've done these four.
I made a blog post about Bok Towers a few years ago here -
http://amusementparkstuff.blogspot.com/2011/07/or-get-off-pot.html
Bok was pretty neat... but it was faarrr too hot when I was there!

Jungle Adventures (if you mean the place in Christmas, FL) I did on my
very first trip to Florida back in 1995 and again last year or the
year before. Its much like Gatorland but it has bears too! doesn't
take too long but if you like animals you'll like it.

Wonderworks... I've only done the one on I-Drive, for free,
just...............awful.

Lowry Zoo is pretty nice. Its biggest issue is that Busch Gardens is
down the street.... But their (small) flume is fun.. kiddie coaster
(+1) and they have a skyride.
I've got a whole photo gallery of the Zoo here -

Thanks. And yes by Jungle Adventures the park in Christmas. I enjoyed
Gatorland a lot a few years ago, so I think I'd enjoy Jungle
Adventures.
