Wildlife Survival Sanctuary
Animal rescue service
😐 It was pretty good, my friend and I went with a groupon. They limit each tour to around 20 people. I didn't hear or see anything about requiring masks but the group stayed fairly distanced from exhibit to exhibit. The leopard was the best. It was too cold to see the tortoises because they were in th...

Strong Tower Vineyard & Winery
Winery
👍👍 Very special place to spend a nice quiet time without the large loud crowds. The wine is good and inexpensive. Bring your own finger foods on special nights and purchase your own bottles of wine. The coolest nights are the one with the open fire pits. Wife and I love this place!

Serenova Tract
Nature preserve
👍👍 Needed a 4th of July hike and this place was perfect. I had no idea it was here! Beautiful campsites, a few fishing holes and lots of shaded parts along the loop. I believe it's about 5.8 miles long. I hear camping is free here. Didn't confirm but I think this spot would be wonderful and spacious fo...

Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve - West Tract
Hiking area
👍👍 Very nice area with 2 primitive camp grounds and many hiking trails. Camp grounds and other areas do not have potable water so make sure to bring it. The Florida Trail runs through with hills and pine forests. There's a boy scout cabin as well on the river that you can get to. Lots of mosquitoes and...

John S. Burks Memorial Park
Park
👍👍 I went there together free food and I have to say the grounds are well kept. The staff keep the grass mowed and the trash is picked up. When I was there one Thursday there was a stray dog around and one of the staff pick him up and as far as as I know took him home. It made my day to see some one h...

We have had several family reunions amid the pristine beauty of the spring. The small natural history museum, pa...

Conner Preserve
Nature preserve
👍 A pretty cool park. Saw a bit of wildlife. Spent a good 5 hours there and still didn't cover all the trails. Did about 8 miles so plan accordingly. I went on a Saturday and there were barely any people there so is a nice time to be alone/friends. The only con is some paths are very uneven so be prep...

Upper Pithlachascotee River Preserve
Hiking area
🫤 Ok... you can't review this place without addressing the drive in. It's total Hills Have Eyes kind of life. Pretty sure at least half of these dilapidated mobile homes are meth labs. The other half are murder houses, all of them, no doubt, crime scenes- all on either side of poorly maintained ru...
