    It's a unique experience but a little pricey. The your guide was funny and overall a great guy! I really enjoyed his commentary and personality. The ride itself was average and not very fun for the younger kids. The best part of the tour was the driver. I heard they rerouted us because the 4 wheel drive wasn't operational due to parts that they were waiting to become available. I understand that, it's just too bad that neither truck had the ability to go off road. The food trucks were fantastic!!!! Fair prices for big portions. I highly recommend getting food from them. Lots of animals to look at and I teract with. Kids of all ages enjoyed that the most. You can pick oranges, amount a few other activities.

    This is a destination kind of place. There's a bar for adults, play area for kids, a humongous truck tour, farm & exotic animals to feed, food trucks, a general store &, of course, the citrus grove. You pay for the u-pick citrus by the bag. There are 3 sizes. Considering you are doing the picking, it's a little expensive, but I guess you're paying for the experience. Well, actually, you pay an extra fee for the experience. 🤷 If you want to feed the animals, they have bags of food for sale. We only went for orange picking & discovered it's surprisingly hard to find oranges that are ready to pick. The trees further away from the store have more oranges within reach. Nice place to visit for an afternoon.

    We visited on 2/1/22 and the entire family loved it!! The monster truck ride through the property was incredible. We saw multiple gators, an otter, a variety of birds and we stopped to feed treats to the cows and zebras. My 5 & 7 year old nephews had a blast playing on all the toys but they especially loved panning for crystals. And the whole family enjoyed a delicious lunch at the food trucks with a bucket of beer from inside. You can easily enjoy an entire day here. We didn’t even stay to pick fruit but would love to on our next trip! I will be back and highly recommend. Fun for all ages!! And the staff was so kind and helpful, especially our tour guide Tehya! Thank you all for the great experience!

    My family and I loved this place! Excellent option for a family outing. The u-pick field is huge, full of oranges, there’s a welcoming playground for the little ones (where I spent most of my time during the visit) they have farm animals that are well taken care of, we could feed them upon buying a bag of food at the market 🥰 We didn’t have time to enjoy the monster truck ride but it seems so much fun! Definitely a destination to visit.

    We had a great visit here. Orlando our tour guide on the Monster truck ride was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun and exciting. We picked our own oranges in the groves and made delicious juice back at our resort. I highly recommend stopping here for a visit. We did try to have a drink at the bar, but was completely ignored by the bar tender. Maybe she was busy doing something else, but some acknowledgement would have made this a perfect day but we still left with great memories.

    Literally my happy place. So much fun for adults and kids. The monster truck ride is lots of fun. The animals are great. The bars are awesome. Hunter and the team make regulars feel like family. Highly recommended for tourists and locals alike.

    We love Showcase of Citrus! Our kids love it and we love that it’s a beautiful outdoor attraction they can play, learn and feed animals! We’ve been coming since before they moved locations! We love this funny farm!

    If you’re in town, this spot is a must!! All my children love it and they had so much fun riding in the monster school bus, Mr. Tim, our driver was very fun and informative, he so generous and gave all my children the animal’s feed to feed the animals as we forgot to bought them before we got on the tour. Also we had some pineapple icecream and the orange icecream too, so delicious and refreshing! P. S. Don’t forget to let the kids play at the playground too, mines had so much fun, being creative at the playground!!

    We really enjoyed this place. Plenty of parking, friendly staff. If you want to book the big truck tour, do so in advance. There was no availability for hours when we went and tried. Lots of different varieties of citrus to choose from, we bought a bag and tried getting a few of each, but most ended up tasting like lemons... Maybe they weren't ripe yet? The ones that did taste like oranges were extremely juicy and very tasty. It would have been nice to taste test before going out, but since we got there right away in the morning, they didn't have that set up yet? The kids wanted to feed the animals, but we settled by letting them play in the sand box. Seeing the gators in the water was pretty cool, too. Though some might label this as a tourist trap, we would definitely come back again.

    My son and I spent the day and had an awesome time. Shocked there was no admission fee. However everything does have a price i.e feeding the animals, the monster bus tour etc. there are food trucks for food and an amazing bar with variety of drinks and beer. The gift shops have products from the farm I love the bacon Jam The monster bus tour was so enjoyable and very informative about Florida orange groves There is plenty for the kids to do Good time for family

    We had a great time on the monster truck tour, Orlando was awesome and very knowledgeable! We loved seeing the wildlife, Zebras and Buffalos on the tour didn't get to see an alligator this time but we'll be back. 3 and under ride free, also if your active military or a veteran you ride for free. Great place to take your toddler to feed the animals and play on all the cool playground and toys they have there. Lots of cool statues to take pictures with. Honestly it's fun for the whole family!

    Orlando was an awesome driver/guide for the Monster 4X4 Truck tour. Friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. Enjoyed the petting zoo animals. Olivia the Ostrich is entertaining! The fruit is freshly picked. The lemonade slushy was delicious! This place just keeps getting better and better - all at an affordable price!

    Just wanted to leave a 5 star review for Showcase of Citrus. We have visited twice during our holiday to Florida this time and just had to leave these guys a great review. Showcase is a great antidote to the hustle and bustle of the big Parks and maybe you don't get the thrills of the big coasters but the welcome you get here and the relaxed atmosphere sure makes up for it. The ride on the monster truck was great and I would like to thank Tim for his knowledge and great driving 😁. I would like to thank everybody there actually and wish I got a few more names so I could mention them personally but everyone was helpful, happy and most of all so chilled out. Loads of love ❤️ from the UK and hopefully we will see you guys next time we visit.

    This place is always a great family place. We have visited many times since we found this little hidden gem. It has grown leaps and bounds since 2017. The monster truck zoo tour has quite a few different wildlife species and is a blast after a good rain. Also has plenty of stuff in the gift shop and seasonal u pick fruit. I recommend getting the orange slushy with frozen yogurt!

  • 5/5 Grace B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is our to go place for picking up oranges and loves the orange slushy. My kids love this place and they have an area for kids to play and have fun. Kids are welcome to feed animals for a minimum fee and they love it every single time they come. Super friendly staff and very knowledgeable. Great place to have a good time with the family.

    Went here in October for the “pumpkin Patch” which is just a couple of pallets in pumpkins that are very expensive. The actual citrus farm is very cute and fun! We didn’t do any tours but it was fun exploring on our own. We bought a couple bags on lemons and limes that we picked ourselves. The drinks they make and other things are very yummy! Their gift shops are awesome! They have a great playground for the kids! The bathrooms are fine. We would like to go back and see the animals more and maybe do a tour! Customer service was great!

    I love this old school style tourist attraction. Lots of Florida travel nostalgia. You'll find a small zoo, and a wildlife ride. Wish we had the time to try the cafe. Shopped in the fun gift stores. Lots to see and buy.

  • 5/5 Naomi 9 months ago on Google
    AMAZING. I was raised in the local area but had no idea this attraction existed. Thanks to Groupon I came across it and booked a 4x4 wildlife truck tour on 4th of July. It was hot but enjoyable to be outside especially here. Pet friendly is a big plus because my Aussie had never seen animals like these before and it was fun for the both of us. Felt like a pure piece of FL that you don’t see often. Orange groves everywhere and beautiful. I can’t wait to come back when the oranges are in season. The truck ride was very easygoing and the wildlife specialist was a charming individual and made it educational and interactive. It’s a fun family or solo adventure. Lots of photo opps and food trucks look great too. My personal favorite was seeing a capybara. You must see for yourself.

    What a surprise tucked off the highway in Clermont. This is a must stop for anyone; families, couples, locals & tourists. Something for everyone. There’s big school bus conversions with huge 4x4 monster truck tires with a covered open air top. Rides for $25 a person for a 45 minute tour of the citrus groves and cattle ranch. Military and veterans are FREE! You can feed the animals with $20 buckets of fruits and veggies. Huge open barn with shops and a bar. There was live music in the afternoon. Our tour guide Tim was very informative and fun. Our bartender Anne was very friendly and quick! Definitely worth a try at least once. You can but citrus and honey too!

    We had a great trip with 30 students. The monster truck tour is always a hit. Such a quirky place! Love it!

  • 5/5 Allinavi 1 year ago on Google
    Our family had such a great time visiting Showcase of Citrus! The monster truck bus is awesome, and all of the animals look really well cared for. Our driver Orlando was super knowledgeable about the history of the property and took excellent care of us during the tour and even told us all of the animals' names. This place is definitely worth a visit whether you've got kids or you're going solo as adults. They've got a playground, gift shops, a bar for the grown kids and food trucks if you're feeling snackish. Definitely worth a visit!!!

    Great way to spend the day! I loved that this location is away from all the hustle and bustle of the Disney crowds. The property has so much to offer. Must try the creamsicle - very refreshing! Check out their stores on site with honey, jams, souvenirs, hot sauces, salsa, fresh fruit 🍊

  • 5/5 Linda O. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun little spot to go to! Good bbq food and great kid environment as well! The gem mining was very fun.

  • 5/5 Mike M. 4 months ago on Google
    Entry fee: $0 Showcase of Citrus is like a citrus wonderland! 🍊🌳 Vintage memorabilia everywhere gives off major 'Back to the Future' vibes. It's like a time-travel pitstop in the midst of citrus paradise. From picking oranges to exploring retro treasures, this place is a double dose of nostalgia. The diverse crew of animals the kids can vibe with. Feeding them was a highlight – the kiddos were all in! 🦚🐐 Just a heads up, though – these animals don't play it slow. If you feed them from the cup, they might just snag the whole thing. Fast snacks only! 😂🚜🍹

  • 5/5 Megan B. 7 months ago on Google
    This place is such a cool little piece of Florida. They have so many collectibles and memorabilia decor to look at, a shop with their own jams/jellies with very interesting flavors (like raspberry jalapeno) and a bar for drinks, along with lemonade and orange creamsicles. There are food trucks with great options, and of course the petting zoo! A big plus that they are dog friendly as well when you're looking for something new to do with your pups. My dog loves the donkey and goats 🙂 such a cool weekend spot to visit

  • 5/5 David A. 8 months ago on Google
    Great outdoor experience for children. Monster truck/bus tour of wild animals including zebras, a camel, bison, longhorns. Nice snack bar with tasty frozen drinks for adults. Great way to spend the at a more laid back attraction.
