I love this outlet because it's huge, it is located on spacious beautiful grounds, and it is NOW HOME to my favorite store, BATH & BODY WORKS! The buildings are architecturally appealing and well designed. Bath & Body Works recently moved from the mall to this location. It is new, bright, well stocked, clean, neat and I love the staff. Bealls outlet is here, as well as Coach, Puma, Columbia, Sketchers, Calvin Klein, Crocks, and many more stores. Sometimes they will have small craft fairs in the parking lot. It is Definitely worth visiting and shopping here! A great Highlight to mention is for older folks or the disabled there is a golf cart that will ride you around from store to store so look out for the pick up and drop offs. I took my mom and she can walk fine but she wanted to get a ride anyway, lol. The heat is another factor. What a great idea! Photos from my visits-The Bath & Body items in the photo; that's not even the half of them. Columbia, we visit often for the quality and most often discounts and clearance if you are visiting grab one of these shorts. It's additional spf protection. Bealls is a favorite for housewares and at times you can find Columbia in there as well at a discount. Happy shopping and abundant blessings to our fine outlet stores.

Spring training facility for the NY Mets. Older facility. Could use some more hand rails on the stairs. Park on grass $10. Lots of friendly and helpful volunteers. Local police help with traffic control. Bath rooms are small. Tiki bar. Berm behind fence on 1st base side, with sun deck behind. There is an adjacent practise field. Main field has no dugouts. Nathans hot dogs but no Nathans mustard. The announcer got the name of the visiting team wrong (!). Too many commercials, too loud, on the announcement system.

Such a cool little place! We stopped in as we were driving through Okeechobee and definitely glad we did. It’s self walk through and by suggested donation. My son loved walking up to all the animals (which were double caged) and it really allows him to feel apart of the experience. It’s cool so see so many different animals in one place and cohabiting!

Great camping experience! Stayed in the family loop, made reservations online. Spot had electrical hookup and water for RVs, but we were just in a tent. Bath house was clean and even had a large outdoor sink and a clothes dryer. Easy little trail to hike here as well. The sky looked beautiful at night, can definitely see more stars out here than in the city. Lots of little critters to see out here as well!

Called to book a fishing trip with my girlfriends daughter on the big O and was hooked up with Capt Bo White. This guy knows his stuff! He took us out a few miles out in the dark before sunrise and felt wicked comfortable with him driving the boat. Guy is first class! It was July and the bite was slow compared to winter months and he put us right on the fish. We caught over a dozen largemouth bass. I will definitely be back to fish with Bo in the prime time. The girls at the desk were also very pleasant to deal with.

Beautiful, clean, modern rooms. Very kind and welcoming staff. Casino is clean and nice. The restaurants aren't that good but there's no closer restaurants around the area. You'd have to drive over 15 minutes to get a restaurant. Security is on top of their jobs. I felt very safe. The pool was clean as can be, there were some bugs but that's expected as there's palm trees around the pool. Other than that, I love the atmosphere, the rooms, and everything else.

Awesome town! Wonderful walking tour of amazing murals. Definitely stop at the Chamber of Commerce to see the mural film.

Definitely take a trip out to see the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ali Museum when visiting this part of Florida! We visited here as a part of a cultural experience with our own tribe from Northern California and it was awesome! The area is so beautiful and the people are amazing. Being able to hear stories and see the history of their people is something special to experience with the whole family! Their 1.5 mile boardwalk was beautiful! The Seminole Tribe have an amazing history and they take so much pride in their people and their Native culture!

This place is so cool! Smaller than other gator places I’ve been to, but the team here is very kind and funny. They do feeding shows twice a day and you can pay to feed the gators or do a “meet and greet”. Well worth the money! Loved this place and will definitely be back.

I've never had more fun at an adult field trip before. I felt like a kid again -- only this time paying attention. But seriously from start to finish 8 to 5pm I enjoyed myself so much and learning more about the Seminole tribe. If you are a history buff like me, or want to know more about the Everglades and native lands this is it for you. I wouldn't recommend if you have toddlers and below because I know my niece gets antsy after a full day but there really is entertainment for everyone. The airboat was awesome, saw about 10 gators! The wildlife shows and then the museum--their staff is A+. They are so knowledgeable I really am glad I came and can't wait to bring family from out of town. They are a little further out than other tour groups but well worth it to get the bang for the buck. Their customs are beautiful and im so happy I got to learn all that I did . They are way beyond casinos and duty free tobacco. The husband and wife tour guide duo (I forget their names) were excellent. So many cool items at the gift shop too. If you're debating don't hesitate to come here!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at 1st Street Deli! From the moment I walked in, Daniela greeted me with such warmth and professionalism as the host—it immediately set the tone for a great visit. Our server, T’anna, was attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring throughout the meal. She anticipated what we needed without us ever having to ask and made us feel so well taken care of. The food itself was outstanding—huge compliments to Kevin and Raymond, the chefs! Everything was perfectly prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell they put pride into their craft. And a big shoutout to Courtney, the restaurant manager. You can see his leadership reflected in the team’s energy and service. He was visible, approachable, and ensured the whole dining experience flowed seamlessly. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again—not just for the food, but for the people who make it special. Highly recommend!

This was so much fun! The extended family will enjoy the Babcock Ranch Eco Tour. It's a very good price for 90 minutes of entertainment and education. We saw lots of animals from "the buggy", a converted school bus. Several groups of animals came running enthusiastically for the corn the driver threw out to them. Lot's of great photo opportunities and ALLIGATORS!

Our family greatly enjoyed our outing on the Everglades of Florida. Despite venturing out during the hottest part of the day, our tour guide managed to find an alligator for us to see. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We would definitely take another tour if we’re back in the area, but we’d likely choose to go earlier in the day when the animals are more active. Once the heat peaks, the animals tend to disappear.

It was our second visit and just as great as our first visit! Elsbeth was our guide and she was informative and entertaining. I LOVE the big cats! And they stage the viewing area with some treats so that they come right up close to the viewing area. Each habitat is created for the best possible enjoyment of the animal including pools, ropes, hammocks, enclosures, toys, balls,… I can’t wait to be able to volunteer here and I tell everyone I run into about the great organization and highly recommend the tours!

This was a really great hike, and a beautiful area in general. It's all boardwalk so it's not a difficult walk at all. Definitely worth the visit. The trees and vegetation were amazing in their own right, but of course the wildlife steals the show. We were able to see alligators, a raccoon, a spoonbill and tons of other standing water birds, hawk, owl, and many others. I would highly recommend taking the time.

This was a GREAT experience! Park for $5, reserved out kayaks online and followed the signs to the tour desk. Gentleman manning the desk checked us in, showed us a map, was friendly and accommodating to our group of 7. Then we walked down to 2 galas who helped us get in our kayaks—friendly, informative, and really great getting us settled. Off we went to kayak the river and enjoy the day! We got an 11am reservation, saw some manatees, but my parents have been here before and suggested to go at the early time slot—we couldn’t get the teenagers up🤪. When we unloaded the gals in the water were more than helpful and friendly again. Great experience, we will be back!

Really enjoyed seeing the Savanah Bananas play here on Valentine's day! The park is beautiful! The lights are perfect! The food( a little pricey) absolutely delicious. Easy access to everything! Leaving is not too bad either!

The Edison and Ford Winter Estates have been a special place for me since I was young. Visiting here has always felt like stepping into a space where time slows down and creativity lingers in the air. Now, I feel incredibly grateful to bring my own children and share with them the sense of wonder and possibility that lives here. There’s something powerful about walking the same grounds where just one conversation and one idea sparked so much innovation and progress. It’s a reminder that big change often starts small—with curiosity, connection, and vision. The historians are always so knowledgeable, and the staff is kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about keeping this place alive and meaningful. They bring the stories to life in such a thoughtful way, which adds so much depth to the experience. It’s also a wonderful place to bring children—a perfect blend of education and inspiration. Whether it’s seeing the old labs, learning about inventions, or simply soaking in the natural beauty, this space has a way of sparking their curiosity and showing them how imagination and persistence can lead to real-world impact. The preserved gardens and grounds are breathtaking, filled with a natural wonder that surely played a part in inspiring the minds who once walked there. This is more than just a visit—it’s a moment of connection to history, nature, and the limitless possibilities of a good idea.

Muscle Car City was amazing and worth the trip and the entry fee. I could have spent the entire day here viewing the incredible display of automotive history. If you are a General Motors fan, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Cadillac this is the place to visit. I was impressed by the inventory of cars and by the meticulous care and overall presentation. They have plenty of cars to view but also have signs, gas pumps and other items of automotive history. There was something new every time I looked closer. I intend on visiting again. The entry fee is reasonable and they offer an annual membership too. There is also a classic style diner on-site for breakfast and lunch. Make sure to talk a walk through the giftshop too, there's something for everyone!

Honors those who served, covered many conflicts and the people who served. Large library, multiple dioramas, models, and speakers (changes - so it may be different when you get there.) Don't miss the flight simulator or virtual reality head sets and laser shooting range. It's not real big, on 2 floors, elevator was out, stairs only. I would highly recommend going, but you'd have to go multiple times to read read everything.

Thank you Rookery Bay for hosting our Pet Services Summit. The work you for our environment is wonderful and we could not have asked for a better location. I will have to come back again when I have time to explore more and take one of your tours! Highly recommend Rookery Bay for everyone!

We've been on distillery tours...bourbon tours. Not being a bourbon fan, I enjoy those tours for the history and the "art" of bottle and label design, but never the tasting. With this tour I enjoyed it ALL, especially the tasting...and the "touring cocktail". I learned a lot, too. Like, there is a distinct difference between the making of bourbon and rum. Take the tour to learn what that is. Our tour was approximately 45 minutes, ending back in the gift shop for the sampling. We made reservations for the 1 PM tour but arrived early and were able to be included in the noon tour. I don't think we had to pay for the tour. Our touring cocktail was "Wicked Punch" (Coconut Rum, Crystal Rum, Lime Juice, Pineapple Juice, Cranberry Juice, and Ice). It was delicious, and the best way to get us "into" the tour. Check the website for many more recipes. Two of the three sampling flavors were pineapple and key lime. I forgot the third. I enjoyed all three. I wanted to buy several bottles but we were flying and already had full suitcases. They do sell travel bags and provide instructions on how to pack the bottles in suitcases. For my next Florida trip, I'm driving, not flying, and saving lots of trunk space for some flavored rum bottles. The full size rum bottles do need to go in check bags when flying, but Wicked Dolphin does sell small bottles that can be placed in carry-on luggage. The catch is that they are only sold in sets of eight. You can choose any combination of flavors but in groups of eight. The gift shop is full of a wide variety of souvenirs, in addition to their distilled products. It's fun browsing. The staff were friendly and helpful, and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Outside is a nice sitting area, where you can either wait for your tour to begin or enjoy a drink after the tour. In the evenings they have events that are listed on their website, which can include live music and food trucks. We had other plans, so were not able to enjoy such an event. I highly encourage you to stop by if you're in the Cape Coral area. (The attached photos were taken during the tour. Most of the pics are in the order of the distillation process. The barrels and flavoring pics are at the end of the tour, but they were the first things I saw as I waited to use one of the two restrooms, located in the barrel room. That's why they are a bit out of order.)

We rode our bikes to Barefoot Beach and had a great time! It’s a peaceful and beautiful spot with soft white sand and calm water – perfect for relaxing and swimming. Since we came by bike, we didn’t have to pay any entrance or parking fees. Totally worth a visit!

This is a small facility, but is still wonderful and worth a visit. There are many different types of birds to see, as well as a few other animals. It is free, but donations are appreciated. When was the last time anything was free? 😁 Staff was available to share information and answer questions. They were all very friendly and seemed to really love their job and helping their guests learn more about their animals and mission. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to visiting again.

As usual, the Key West Express did not disappoint. We had beautiful weather (5 mph winds) on the way from Ft Myers to Key West. The return trip was a little more "bumpy", but this boat with the four engines is a fantastic ride. We have had times in the past where Bonine and a patch were necessary - plan accordingly. During busy travel days, you need to arrive and be in line at least 30 minutes prior to the boarding times listed, or you will not get a preferred seat. (Remember, port side for the sunset on the return). Snacks and drinks are not outrageous.

The first time we went we anchored down on a pontoon. The second time we drove over. Highly recommend getting there early if you're driving. Parking fills fast. Absolutely beautiful. Water was great, beach was beautiful, shells were everywhere. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely beautiful island. I love our Gulf Coast so much. This was our first time here. Spent a few hours exploring by bike. Paradise found.

Gorgeous! Walking to the beach is about a quarter mile from lot but smooth with board walks and paths. Amazing amenities with new restrooms, changing rooms, washing station and a fun playground! The beaches are full of shells, water was perfect for swimming and spotting dolphins. We arrived early, right at 8am, parking lot was nearly empty. By the time we left around 11, there were still plenty of spots but cars were coming in steady.

If you have never been here, the only way since Hurricane Ian to visit the park is private or charter boat. There used to be a ferry, but not anymore. It's a beautiful deserted island... literally. There are cruise companies and enjoy your ride over. Tons of shells on any day, amazing stuff sometimes.
