Similarly, evidence of several creatures have been extracted from the spring, including saber tooth tigers, giant sloths, tortoises, and even camels. Today, with a goal of increased wellness for everyone, Warm Mineral Springs offers a natural experience to residents and visitors alike who want to soak in the warm waters.See more..
3.5Adventure Landing Jacksonville Beach(273 reviews) - OK for the price. GO EARLY Saturday: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM Amusement & Theme Parks • Water Parks
If the life guards make more than minimum wage, they're overpaid. Lazy river is out of control. Too many people running around. Not one attendant/lifeguard said anything. Food is way overpriced and greasy. Water is freezing. Needs cleaning crew during the day. Garbage everywhere.See more..
3.5Flamingo Visitor Center(226 reviews) - Under Construction Saturday: 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM Visitor Centers
Visitor center in the village of Flamingo.See more..
Quick stop. There is a picnic pavilion across the street where the parking is. About half of the informative signage is missing so you can guess what you are looking at. There was a person who seemed to be down on his luck or homeless under the picnic pavilion. Based on the other listings, this seems to be a hangout for folks not at their best Be aware of a surprisingly large amount of traffic when backing out of parking spots. Pros: has rest rooms, it's across the road from the parking lot, it is free, and you should be done in 4-10 minutes.See more..
3.5Boyett's Grove(194 reviews) - Funky, Fun, Old time Florida at its best! Something for everyone can be found here. Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Amusement & Theme Parks
This was a family citrus farm established in the 1960s. When the citrus groves were destroyed by freezes and citrus greening, the family expanded the fruit processing buildings to become a maze of old Florida artifacts, mini golf, a souvenir shops with citrus sales, a petting zoo, bird aviary and an aquarium room. There’s even a 3D room and dinosaurs displayed in cavern rooms. We search for remnants of Old Florida and were thrilled to stumble on this - still operated by some of the family members who are happy to share the history. Your kids and grandkids will love you if you stop here.See more..
3.0Safari Tours(187 reviews) - Enjoyable but could be better Safaris
Safari Tours Inc, serving Miami visitors since 1992. Home of the world famous Miami City Tour and over 20 tours to choose from!See more..
The pool was excellent. The pool staff was excellent. The front desk staff was horrible. You only get one chance to make a good first impression-they need customer service training. Rooms are older, but clean. Housekeeping staff was great. Most disappointing was the spa. Tried to book a massage the day we arrived for any time during our five day stay. There were ZERO appointments available. I was told they book out two months in advance, and if I used a third party to book our stay, that’s the problem. Very unfriendly, and RUDE. Location was awesome, and the fireworks were spectacular.See more..

There was lots of parking with an app or meter. It was a bit of a walk to the beach and there were steps which made pushing our cart difficult. There were showers and restrooms. It’s a holiday weekend and there aren’t too many people it’s quiet here. The water is perfect, just a perfect beach day!See more..
3.0Tarpon Springs Castle Winery(156 reviews) - Fun Owners (Diana & Joseph) and Good Wine! Saturday: 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM Wineries & Vineyards
We've taken quite a few wine tours across the country & this was certainly one of the more memorable ones. The owners were so sweet & we received some good information not only on how they make their small batches of tasty wines, but also in their very interesting lives and art. Excellent afternoon, very much enjoyed. See more..
3.5Hudson Beach Park(143 reviews) - Great service great food Spent < 1 hour Beaches
Mainly went to see the beach end up getting a shrimp po-boy And Fries so glad my sister and I split it because there was enough food for two.

3.5Go-Kart City(93 reviews) - Excellent go-karting for the money Saturday: 10:00 AM - 11:00 PM Game & Entertainment Centers
This place is not fancy, not all karts run - but the ones that work are well worth the $5-7/ride you will pay. The batting cages have many bats and baseball/softball speed options. Recommend Cage #3 over #4, as #4 sticks a little. We didn't try the mini-golfSee more..
3.5Superplay USA(88 reviews) - Mixed experience Saturday: 9:00 AM - 1:00 AM Game & Entertainment Centers
Although the young guy at the front desk was a bit sour in his demeanor, the young girl was super nice! As a family we enjoyed our bowling experience. At one point we didn’t notice that we could bowl the ball and we did and some guy in the back made a ‘what the heck’ gesture... TWICE!! It was pretty rude!!! The arcade was also fun but the guy at the ticket counter spent a good amount of time on his cell phone and then proceeded to rush my son with his selection with his words and his facial expressions. The bathroom and the rest of the establishment was clean and updated. We won’t return because of the staff!See more..
3.0Critter Fleet(85 reviews) - Thanksgiving Deep Sea Fishing Trip Saturday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Fishing Charters & Tours
This is the first time we have gone with this crew and the half day trip on the water was great weather wise. We got to see some really big snappers get caught however could not keep them being out of season. I got to fish next to the owner of the boat and it was a good experience watching him pull several large 36-inch snappers. The ship mates were decent and helped out when you needed it. Other than that you were on your own. Me personally I think the wrong hook size was being used and the bait was large chucks of minnows and squid that made the catching of fish more difficult. My wife had a great catch but was unable to keep it.See more..

Facial was "ok" but their massage is "poor". You can get better massage somewhere else. The champagne tastes cheap. Other than that, ambience was good... But I don't think I'll go back.See more..

I just visited the Sky Zone for a birthday party. After reading the previous reviews, my first priority was to come home and write a review. Very convenient to get to right off the Palmetto expressway. The choices were a bit basic, but the kids and even myself had fun. The staff were super nice and friendly. The concession stand even had healthy options of wraps, and not just junk food. We alternated between jumping on the trampolines and the games arcade. It was a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon.See more..
Everything was in great shape. The tees, fairways and greens were all good. The play was very slow on the first nine, but improved on the back. Didn't see a marshal all day, and the drink cart only came by once. Still, good value for the money. Fairways are wide and forgiving but there is lots of water and sand defense. Enjoyable course.See more..
3.5Pete's Bar(70 reviews) - Ultimate Dive Bar Saturday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 AM Bars & Clubs
One of the oldest bars in North Florida, it’s just what you want from a dive bar. Colorful clientele and a tall PBR with an ash tray. Loved this bar. See more..

3.5Eco Pond(63 reviews) - wonderful bird watching Bodies of Water
I was able to go to a grocery store to get some breakfast foods for our trip. This saved us alot of money! I also was able to get great coffee from the small coffe shop! Go to the pier out back to see some dolphins in the bay!See more..
3.5Cedar Key Beach(60 reviews) - Just ok Spent 2-3 hours Beaches
Cedar Key is a very small, quiet town. If you are used to vacationing in more commercialized areas, this will be very different. Very few restaurants and they close early. Many places closed during the week. A few quaint shops, but again, short "open" hours. Beaches reminded me of being on a lake, not the ocean. We stayed for 5 nights and got bored quickly. The only thing I really enjoyed were the birds and dolphins that are plentiful to see.See more..
Nice Golf Course, played just the back 9 this afternoon. Pros: price was a good value, nice location, well maintained, full arrangement of amenities, nice pro shop, great outdoor tiki bar and restaurant. Nice golf carts, very fast greens (be careful). I will be back often, may even consider a membership.See more..
The gold course at Bobcat Trail was sold over the summer. The new name is Charlotte Harbor National. The new owners are doing tons of work on the course. Bunkers are being rebuilt, greens are being worried on. The Clubhouse also has gotten a facelift. Check it out things are looking good.......See more..
The course is in great shape. Tees, fairways and greens are in very good shape. The layout is not too challenging but fun to play. The greens are lightning fast and quite a few are undulated. Makes your short game challenging. Staff is friendly and helpful.See more..

3.5Kirby Family Farm(48 reviews) - Could be 5 stars with permanent restrooms. Farms
Great Christmas Train experience. Family drove from Mandarin and St Augustine with 9 kids and 8 adults. The carousel ride was a big hit. The ferris wheel for the older kids. The playground was fun, but could have used some solar Brite Pole type lights. Train ride was Awesome and the light show in the forest was really cool. Only down fall was no permanent restroom facility. PortOLets not sanitary. This is the reason for 4 stars not a 5 star.See more..
This has been a cigar store for many years... They have a good selection and OK prices... Not the best when you take internet into consideration.... They remodeled and made a "cigar smoking room", which is very nice. They should urgently improve the extraction system... Basically none!! After 1.5 hours, I even felt out of breath! The other flaw, wine? Who drinks wine with a cigar? You KILL both flavors, so basically if you are going to do that, do yourself a favor and buy a 50 cent cigar and a 5$ bottle... Will taste exactly the same... They should urgently apply for a spirits licence and have some nice Single Malts, Rums or Cognacs...See more..
3.5The Lake City Mall(46 reviews) - Shopping Saturday: 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM Shopping Malls
Well the Lake City Mall is not as a big city. Largest store is JC Penney’s. Couple of all you can eat restaurants (Chinese and Country Buffet). It’s ok...!See more..
3.5AMC Aventura 24(45 reviews) - Cool theater but small seats! Movie Theaters
Pretty cool movie theater and the staff are friendly but the seats are a but narrow compared to Regal's. However you can lift the armchairs up to create more room. Also if a super popular movie like Avengers or Deadpool comes out, get there early! Otherwise a bunch a teenagers will be there and will take up all the seats and save the rest for their "friends in the bathroom." Also a lot of teenagers choose the mall as their hangout spot and they go to the movies here so be prepared for that. Otherwise it's a overall positive experience.See more..
3.5The Manatee(45 reviews) - A nice two hour trip Saturday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Boat Tours • Dolphin & Whale Watching • Nature & Wildlife Tours
A nice smooth two hour cruise from Ponce Inlet south to New Smyrna under the "little" bridge. Boat has restrooms and indoor/outdoor seating. We did not see manatees because it was January but there were lots of dolphins including one that rode the boats bow wave for several minutes. Cost was $25 per person. Saw houses of CEO's and celebrities.See more..
