We really enjoyed the drive through safari experience. It was really cool to get a guided tour from the car. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and quite funny. You can tell they care about the animals and properly educate people. We definitely want to come back again!
This place is amazing! Brody was our guide and he did a phenomenal job with our kiddos. He really made it a special. My mom loves giraffes and that was the whole reason we came here and it was so much more!!! I definitely want to visit here again!
We made a reservation for the drive thru safari and lemur feeding experience. It definitely exceeded our expectations. Brody was our tour guide and I can't say enough about how engaging and entertaining he was. The kids enjoyed learning about all the animals and he even played a trivia game with everyone. Ask for Body - I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm so happy we opted to feed the lemurs. They were very gentle and the kids learned a lot! Overall, a great experience and fun afternoon.
I enjoyed my experience at Giraffe Ranch yesterday. Our tour guide Brody was amazing, hee made the tour even more fun. Some of the animals was just roaming freely, enjoying themselves, the giraffe was greeting us as we drove pass.
Lacy and Brody were absolutely fantastic!!!!! Funny, informative and you can tell how much they care for these beautiful animals. Highly recommend staying after the tour and paying for the closer encounter with tortoises and lemurs!! :)))
Julian and Chris were our Guides and both were able to tell us all the info on the different animals. They didn't rush they took their time and made it a very personal experience. Julian was just amazing she was so sweet and kind and helpful. This place was amazing. It is a total hidden Gem but worth every penny. You can tell the animals were well taken care of and happy. I will go again Thank you to everyone their for making my daughter's Birthday present so awesome. 10/10
Brody gave an excellent tour. It was educational and fun. You can tell the staff really care about the animals well being and are attentive to their needs. Highly recommend for families including children.
The crew was able to accommodate a time slot that worked for our group. We did the drive thru tour with Chris as our guide. He was highly knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, and very kind. We will be back!

Words cant express how great everyone was here. We had a great time and will be doing it again. The otters are a blast to swim with and would do it everyday if we could. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the animals we saw and encountered. We also met the tiger cub. This little guy is awesome!! Worth every penny to meet him. Seeing all these animals up close and personal gives a greater understanding why they shouldnt be pets. I highly recomend that anyone and everyone visit Dade City Wild Things and have an animal encounter of some kind. You will not be disappointed!!!! Thanks again Wild Things you were awesome!!!!!!!!!
Dade City's Wild is a very nice place and the animals are very well cared for and loved. You will have a great experience and leave with wonderful memories. The place is clean and they are regulated by state and federal agencies .They are being targeted by animal activists who pay for negative comments on line. I have visited quite a few times and always have a great time. The swims are awesome and the photos are really nice. Great place for a reasonable price. I returned to Dade City's Wild Things one week ago. It was clean and the animals looked well cared for. I was fortunate to do an encounter with the lemur. It was very cute and friendly. I have to say I was impressed by the girl doing the encounters. She definitely has a bond with the animals and was very professional. I found the staff to be very friendly. I kind of liked the previous gift shop but it's nice to go right in now instead of waiting for the trolley. I will definitely return. I like the changes made to the tour.
We went to Dade City's Wild Things on Valentines Day 2016 and had a great time. We took a tram ride around the zoo viewing the animals along the way, held a baby kangaroo, fed a lion, and had a private encounter with a 4 month old tiger (I think the private encounter costs a bit extra but it was worth it to have some time away from the rest of the tour group). All of the staff members that we interacted with were friendly, intelligent, and seemed to really care about the animals. They asked us questions about the various interactions that we had and shared information about the specific animals that we saw (personalities, age, funny stories etc..). Overall I highly recommend checking this out if you are able to. My comments about the comments below: Tigers do love to be in water and spend a great deal of their time in rivers and lakes in the wild. It seems as though a few of the reviewers were applying their knowledge of the domestic house cat to tigers which must be where the misunderstanding stemmed from. While we were there new exhibits were being built, so it does seem like the owners are investing money back in to the business. Additionally I can't imagine what the food bill must be like for all of the animals and I can definitely say they all looked well fed. I thought the experience was well worth the price and would have paid much more had the prices been higher. During the animal interactions that we had the animals did not in anyway perform for us. It was an opportunity for us to be up close to an animal that we would otherwise never be able to safely do. That was it, no dancing, no rolling over for treats, no monkeys riding dogs, etc..
Our family decided to go to Wild Things despite the bad reviews on Google. Obviously, the reviews were planned by a group of individuals that set out to hurt businesses that help endangered animals and jobs for the community. Our family had a wonderful and educational tour of the facility. The animals are clean and well cared for and appear to be content. It was a Great experience for our 4 year old twins and 6 year old daughter who generally fear household animals let alone wild. They were not frightened at all! They commented that they had the best time ever! The only negative would be that I wish we could have taken photographs of the animals. However, the staff was very accommodating to take a group photo of us. The staff were very pleasant and appeared to enjoy their jobs which says a lot about the ownership of the facility.
I think I was more surprised at the fact that this is run out of a family's house with a lot of land versus more of a zoo type of feeling. But despite that I have to say I was surprised at the selection of animals that were available as well as the ability to feed zebra, and bison. The ability to be able to choose and holds various animals also was very appealing to this as my daughter has been clamouring to pull the monkey forever and she finally did. As far as the pricing goes you have to purchase the Safari pack to be able to then purchase the ability to hold, or pet in the in various animals. The Safari itself was $19, and then depending on the animal you wish to hold or pet is depending on the price. We pay to hold a monkey which was $19 per person. Overall The Experience wasn't bad. Probably the two worst things that I noticed with this particular Safari is that there is a lot of unnecessary 'artwork' and I say that because there was just various trucks and Furniture just strewn about the entire property, which I would assume is art. That sort of thing made the place like a little trashy. And the other thing that really bothers me is that there was a lot of animals in , what I would consider, small cages. They say these animals are not welcome at the zoo would have been rejects, so if that's the case then I can sort of reason with myself saying that this is the last chance for these animals. But to see a full-size lion in the size of a cage of my garage, twenty-four hours a day 365 days a year is a little bothersome. But regardless the staff were nice the animals look like they were fed well, they always had water that I was able to see, and the staff knew what they were talking about. The other issue is is that you're not allowed to take pictures anywhere on the property and that you have to pay $25 for them to take pictures and then they uploaded to website you download. To me that's a little fishy as why can I not just take my own pictures especially of the animals, because they do have a couple unique animals that you won't see anywhere else.
The staff were very courteous. I did not expect to be shuttled from where we paid to the zoo itself, but I don't remember if it was advertised that way or not. The tram driver once we got in was new so she read from her note book. I found the enclosures were small for they type of animal it housed, but the said the animals are walked daily with two leash handlers and they are leash trained. There was absolutely no evidence of abuse. The animals look well fed.
My daughter and her bf (both early 20's) went here to have an up close experience with an otter. It is mandatory that you take the $20 tour before you could do the experience. They charge you extra for that, yet anyone else who wanted to do that all went at once. So nothing special. The animals are in cages that didn't provide sufficient exercise area. Not enough enrichment for the animals. You must sign a waiver stating that you are not with PETA or other similar groups...and with good reason. You are not allowed to take photos of the animals. My daughter mistakenly booked the "swim with otters" experience but called them within a couple of hours to change it to the cheaper package. They said they would refund her the difference...it's been 3 weeks. She finally had to call her credit card company to dispute the charge. NOT someplace to go if you care about animals at all. For just $3 more, you can go to Zoo Miami! - My daughter contributed her first hand experience to this post.
My son loves animals and dreams one day becoming an exotic veterinarian. While looking for something interesting to do over the weekend, we came across Wild Things Zoo. Along with the zoo’s website, we also read the unfortunate news of what they’re going through. I am so happy it did not stop us making a trip. We had a great time. You can really see the deep loving relationships between the animals and keepers. We loved the hands on interactions and friendly staff. Can’t brag enough on this place. We truly loved the experience.

Everything there is wonderful! The history is amazing. The displays are unbelievable! When they have events the food, re-enactments and live bands are out of this world. Been back twice in the last months and going back again next month! Historians really know their stuff!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow! What a step back time . A lot of Florida history here . Very knowledgeable and friendly staff . Really thinking about getting the lifetime family pass for $350 so we can visit anytime and maybe even have a picnic. If you’re just going for the day it’s only$12 for adults $10 for seniors students $6 and kids under 5 no charge.
Great museum, real Florida historical artifacts and buildings in excellent shape. Lots to see and the grounds are gorgeous so take your time and enjoy a jump back in time. They have many events through out the year to add to the experience.
We loved it , it brought back memories of the past when our parents and grandparents were around. So much history of the service the men and women served in . Amazing stuff from the Indian tribes.. old wagons and tractors. We didn't get a chance to finish it was to much time see in one day . Don't worry we are coming back to finish . We truly enjoyed it.
This is a wonderful museum to visit. It shows everything about our great state and the history of our growth. The artifacts are on of a kind and the grounds and structures take you back to an early Florida time. The historians are well versed as steeped in knowledge. Very enjoyable!
This was a really great place. We went during an event so there was an alligator show there as well. Even without that though, it would have been a great visit. Tons of awesome artifacts and displays. Great place to learn about Florida history.
If there is a more comprehensive museum with a more complete collection of the culture of frontier life, I've never seen it! There were so many gems from the native beadwork, to the first lady dolls, to the tool collection, and the sewing and weaving machines. And that's just indoors! I was blown away with the amazing pieces they have curated. The staff was so kind and helpful, answering all my extra questions. I learned more in one afternoon than I have in a long time thanks to this museum. Fun for all ages, there's stuff to keep everyone interested. Oh and free parking!!!
The grounds are beautiful with many historic buildings on display. We did the self-guided tour, and it took us about an hour and a half to explore. It was really neat to broaden our kids’ perspectives and show them how people used to live. They really enjoyed it as well. This place is great for all ages! We will definitely be back!

Another great year!! This has become an annual family event that we look forward to each year. We attended on a Thursday, and there was virtually no wait to enter the haunted houses. The haunted houses are awesome and extremely interactive. You have the ability to participate and experience being a part of the attraction, which I highly recommend. We also thoroughly enjoy talking to and taking pics with the many characters wondering around the midway. Already looking forward to next year!
I’ve been hitting up Scream-A-Geddon in Dade City, Florida, every Halloween season for the last five years. I’m already plotting my return next year. This place is hands-down one of the most fun and interactive haunted attractions out there. Actors who get right in your face and choose-your-own-adventure style scares. If you’re into haunts that feel nostalgic, alive, and unpredictable, this is your jam. My absolute favorite character has to be the fortune teller… she’s always the highlight, dishing out those creepy predictions with that eerie flair that leaves you laughing nervously while checking over your shoulder. She’s the best part of the night, no contest! That said, I was a bit disappointed with the new Killgore’s 3D Circus this year. It replaced and I assume was inspired by the old Rage 3D, but it just didn’t hit the same. I miss the music and the fun yet creepy nature of the house. Similarly, I still miss Blackpool Prison… that gritty, prison-break chaos was gold. When they swapped it out for Breach, it lost some of that raw edge. Breach is a sci-fi horror twist, but it’s like trading a rowdy bar fight for a sterile lab experiment; functional, but not as fun. On the bright side, I really appreciated the minor tweaks to the existing houses like Ravenhill Asylum, Bloodwater Bayou, and Demon’s Revenge. They kept things fresh without overhauling the classics with a new jump scare here, some updated props there. It’s like giving your grandma’s haunted recipe a pinch more spice without ruining the family secret. Bonzo beer garden is great and then interactions when sitting at the tables are always a welcomed event. If you don’t know what I mean…sit at a table for a couple minutes and you will have company. Overall, 4.62893 out of 5 screams! If you’re in the area, grab tickets. Just don’t blame me if the fortune teller predicts your night is cut short.
This place from beginning to end was just fantastic. Everyone was friendly at the gates and very helpful with any questions. As soon as we got into the park, the scare actors were out and having fun. You could tell that they thoroughly enjoyed their job. The interactions between these actors and other locations is vastly different. This place reminded me of memories from home. This was the type of Halloween event that I've been forward to for a while. The interactive houses that was just the cherry on top for me. Everyone in there was so much fun and so, playful, in so many different ways, from scaring to dancing to dance battles and in the houses they dont stop every corner and room. The esthetics were amazing. You could see the work and time put into each house. I really enjoyed this park and will be going back again next year. It's totally worth the drive, the time, and the price is worth it. I rate them a 9 in my book. 5 is not enough they deserve more! Go check them out!
By far one of the best experiences I’ve had during Spooky Season Thus far! First and foremost, the roaming monsters definitely gave nice scares, there is nowhere to hide! The lines were manageable and the houses?! Immaculate! With attention to detail, horrifying moments of despair and the opportunity to get separated from your group! AHHHHH! The customer service displayed by the vendors and shops there were top notch, everyone was so friendly!!! And let’s not forget the ZOMBIE ASSAULT! What an amazing experience overall! 10/10! 🎃
We survived Scream-A-Geddon in Dade City on Friday night… barely 😭 My throat still hurts from screaming because every house felt like walking straight into a nightmare. The church was first — candles flickering, a priest performing an exorcism while possessed bodies thrashed and reached for us. The smell of incense, the chanting… it felt too real. Then came the asylum — padded walls, flickering lights, and deranged patients trying to drag us into their rooms and “experiment” on us. I swear I almost ran into a wall trying to escape. The swamp was straight out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes — blood-stained shacks, screaming hillbillies chasing us with chainsaws, and the sound of metal scraping from somewhere behind. Pure chaos. And then… the 3D clown house. Neon colors, disorienting walls, laughter echoing from every direction — it was like falling into a nightmare carnival where every step felt wrong. By the end, we were breathless, covered in fake fog, and running on adrenaline. The food truck food hit the spot (because obviously, trauma makes you hungry 😂). Honestly? Ten out of ten. Way scarier, darker, and more immersive than Howl-O-Scream. If you like scary movies and anything horror related, you should absolutely go. Trust me, it’s worth every scream. 😈
Super fun and much safer than when I went in 2018-2019. They've really glowed up and the place looks great! There is way more seating, food options, and the bathrooms are nice. The haunted houses were scary and much longer than I thought. The lines were short (30-40min) for a Saturday night. The Bayou was my favorite then the clown themed house. My best friend and I had a great time and will be back next year!
Went with friends for the first time this year on Saturday, October 18, 2025. We bought our tickets about a week early and got the zombie paintball activity. We arrived around 9:45p. We wanted to be there earlier but our drive took longer than expected. We were able to do 4 houses. We unknowingly got in the newest house line, it was a long wait but I feel like it was worth it. It was Killgore's 3D circus house. I was very impressed with the details and effects. After the house we went to the zombie paintball. That was a blast and we wish it could've lasted longer but it is understandable. After paintball, we went and got something to eat. The open layout, ease of ordering, and pickup was wonderful. They had a few food trucks from pizza to sweets and the everything was hot and fresh. It didn't take long after ordering to get and enjoy our food. There are scare actors throughout this area mingling with everyone, that was really cool to experience as well. After eating, we went to the Bloodwater Bayou house, Demon's Revenge, and finally Ravenhill Asylum. The details and work that has gone into the creation of all the houses was shown. We will be returning in the future.
My experience at ScreamAGeddon 2025 was amazing!! Everything I hoped for and more. I would rank it better than Halloween Horror Nights and HowlOScream. I went on a Monday night and was able to do every house and then repeat two favorites. I didn’t do paintball or games but all the houses and got food and drinks. The blueberry cider I will be dreaming of. The nachos were packed piled high with cheese. The scare actors were phenomenal and immersive. It was a 100/10 experience. I suggest getting your ticket and parking ahead of time online to save money. The longest I waited in a line was maybe 20 minutes. I will definitely be back next year. The only thing I would change would be making it more disability accessible and adding a family bathroom stall.

I wasn’t sure when pulling up and seeing an old beat up business sign, but true to the American farmer the work is in the fields. What a great quiet and quaint place to find and pick off the tree or out of a freshly picked bin delicious Florida citrus (hamlets, Navals, honeybells)! There is a great variety of local honey and jellies as well! They also make their own awesome handmade woodworks at outstanding prices!! I was impressed with the tables and the reasonable prices especially in today’s high price market. Definitely a nice country stop.
Store has a lot of touristy beach stuff like shells, shark teeth, etc. but also has some farm stand jellies and honey. We did the pick your own and got Honeybell and Navel (only 2 kinds they have). Kids had a great time. Worth the trip.
They sell the best oranges i have ever ate. Brought home a half bushel of oranges on our way home from anna maria island. Right off the interstate..
This place was fun to visit and the staff was informative on the best time of season for picking ripe oranges as well as other attractions nearby. Recommend calling ahead or stopping in the store for a good chat, fresh pecks of oranges, or souvenirs and art pieces. Next time we roll into Florida will be sure to go again👍👍👍
Delicious, juicy oranges. The smell of the farm is amazing. Beautiful scenery and great staff. There are roosters that crow in the distance and the smell of the orange blossoms is truly amazing. There are grasshoppers that jump around an d the grass can be tall. I'd recommended wearing sneakers.
They have many different types of citrus that ripen from fall to early spring and this place never fails to have the freshest named varieties. Added plus is to stop each March and smell the heavenly fragrance of orange blossoms. A regular stop off spot on our way up and down I-75 for many years.
Loved this place. Very fun to walk picking my own oranges and then go back in the store to get assistance filling up the sac. Got two kinds of deliciously fresh oranges. Also very attentive sales rep.
Very knowledgeable staff. Beautiful views at the top of the grove. Store mascot Jake is well behaved and a pleasure to spend a view minutes with. Fruit is fantastic! Great experience and will return. Thank you for all the hard work!

Always the best in Primitives with a beautiful selection of handmade items as well. It is a treat to see the treasures Peggy finds, and we enjoy visiting with her and Kim too! The customer service is above and beyond. And as a shop owner myself, that is always important to me!
Love this place! Beautiful antiques and the hand crafted original items.
We have been the last two years during the Kumquat festival, coming from Orlando, and having an Aunt into primatives I've gained an appreciation for them. They sell, amongst other things, beautifully crossed stitched tiny pillows that reminds you how something so simple can look like tiny works of art.
Just ABSOLUTELY love Peggy and Kim. They are always very helpful and friendly. I often refer people to their store and they always seem to find what they were looking for..Definitely a MUST stop at destination if ever in Dade City Florida❤
Best antique shop. The owner and her daughter are most pleasant and helpful. Have been shopping for primitives at this shop for years. Always a great selection of quality primitives exquisitely displayed. Highly recommend
Friendly mother/daughter owner! Lots of amazing primitive antiques. I would have bought the whole store in my dreams! 5 STAR
Wonderful antique shop! Peggy, the owner, is a sweetheart and a pleasure to talk with. Plenty of items, big and small, to choose from.
Alicia was a sweetheart & Marvin Benson was adorable. They have neat trinkets and sell wines.

Me and my husband came for a drink and dinner on a Tuesday around 6:00pm, there was no wait to be seated, plenty of booths available. TVs on but not to loud . We felt like the alcohol drink selection could be better, we ordered the pink lemonade and the dragon fruit mojito, both were just ok , they could have used more flavor. The food was amazing. We ordered the sampler appetizer , the chicken tenders were so good and moist! We ordered ten wings half buffalo which were good, the other half we got in the new smoked maple and it is to die for!!!!!!! We ordered the Tuesday special as well which is two tacos with chips and salsa, the tacos are very filling alone and flavorful! We were very happy with all of our food!!! Service was good as well. We moved about five minutes away and will definitely return.
Haley was an awesome server!! Haley for President. Thank you for an awesome afternoon. The wings were great And Haley’s positive and bright smile Was like a cherry on a banana split. Thank you for your hospitality!
Booths are very tight. Slow to greet us upon arrival, but once acknowledged service was very good. Food tasted great, good portions, reasonably priced.
I had relatives from out of town and we decided on this restaurant for lunch. Walked in, no one paid any attention to us-- not a hello, be seated, etc. Why are there tables missing? Could not sit down due to several tables not there in the booths. No one tried to accommodate us in any way. I don't know what the food tastes like. Never got the chance. We left and found another restaurant for lunch. Will never go back. Clearly they respond only to positive feedback.
This location could use a facelift. Some of the benches are broken, service depends how busy they are and food is nothing special, bar food. Nachos are a family fav.
Had one of the worst customer service experiences in my life yesterday. I went to Beef O Brady's for BOGO boneless wing Wednesday. I put in my order before 9:30 PM. Google lists the restaurant's hours as open till 11:00 pm. I ordered my wings along with some other stuff. I received the other stuff, which also required the use of a deep fryer. When I asked about my wings after finishing my appetizers, the server informed me that the kitchen staff did not see the wing orders. They already turned off the deep fryers after finishing the appetizers and were refusing to turn them back on because it would take too long to warm back up. Keep in mind that the restaurant still wasn't even closed at this point. I started working in a kitchen in 95. I have never heard of a restaurant shutting down its kitchen before closing. I'm not sure if this is an employee thing, management thing, or owner thing. Regardless, it's probably the worst customer service I've ever had.
We did like the cheesecake. There! We started this review on a positive note. Now, the place was dirty. The servers were less than enthusiastic. The food was mediocre and not a good value for the money. NEXT!
This definitely was not the best beef of Bradys I’ve been to. We were in town on business and stopped in here to have dinner. We noticed right away a lot of sketchy people hanging out here inside and outside. The inside had a musty smell and the food was not that great at all, just looked like it was slept together, and the chicken was very tough.

Very unprofessional with time management making it where it's hard to get things done in a orderly fashion do to job schedules of others who need to get thing done.
Edward Carson was literally THE WORST! I have never heard of such bad service toward my wife before. My Wife called me telling me of her experience and how rude he was. I’m glad I wasn’t there. How can a man treat a women so bad! 0 stars for Edward Carson. Google does not let me put 0
I recently had the unfortunate experience of having a small claims case heard by Pasco County Judge Knute Nathe, and I must say that the entire process left me utterly disappointed. The case, which was heard on August 4, 2023, took an excruciating ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR days to be finalized, only to result in a judgment that was shockingly inaccurate and seemed to bear no resemblance to the purpose of the case, the evidence presented, or the testimony given. The inefficiency of the judicial process became glaringly apparent as I waited for over four months for a resolution. It is baffling how a case that should have been concluded promptly turned into a prolonged ordeal. The extensive delay seemed to have a direct impact on the quality of the final judgment, leaving me questioning the competence and diligence of the judge overseeing the matter. One of the most concerning aspects was the complete disregard for the details of the case in the final judgment. None of the key elements, including the purpose of the case, the evidence that was painstakingly presented, or the testimony provided, were accurately reflected. It is disheartening to realize that after such a protracted waiting period, the judgment failed to address the fundamental aspects of the dispute, rendering the entire legal process seemingly futile. The experience with this judge in Knute Nathe has left me with serious reservations about the effectiveness and integrity of the local judicial system. It is disconcerting to think that such a crucial institution can operate in a manner that not only prolongs the resolution of cases unnecessarily but also produces judgments that are woefully detached from the facts at hand. In an attempt to address this miscarriage of justice, I reached out to Chief Judge Crane to express my concerns and disappointment. However, even after seeking intervention at a higher level, the situation remained unresolved. I ultimately filed a formal complaint with the Judicial Qualifications Commission for Judicial Misconduct. (this was done prior to the judgement so it has nothing to do with the outcome). I sincerely hope he is investigated. Judge Knute Nathe's handling of this case not only reflects poorly on his own competence but also casts a shadow on the Pasco County judicial system as a whole. It is disheartening to witness such a blatant disregard for the principles of fairness, accuracy, and timely resolution in a legal setting. This experience has left me with a profound lack of faith in the integrity of the judicial process and a sense of injustice. I sincerely hope that my ordeal serves as a cautionary tale for others who may find themselves at the mercy of Judge Nathe's courtroom.
Beautiful and historic 1909 architectural structure. Thank goodness this stunning building has been preserved.
Everyone I have ever interacted with at this Courthouse in Dade City have always been professional nice and courteous. From the screening officers to the clerk's whole staff. The Judge's are fair and know how to treat every day people who do not know as much about the law or processes to resolve things. The complaints on here are angry individuals and I do not agree with one statement made. As a Public building these public some elected some not. They all need to be thanked for their cohesiveness (no one here just passes you on to another. They are trained to help a citizen) I've been assisted each time I've asked for direction or guidance. and I for one am greatful to live In the district served by the Jud6 east Pasco office.
Zero stars. Judge Babb did not care. I went in for a motion to uplift a no contact order. All she did was say she had no paper work when the public defender was telling her about the case and we were sent there. She would neither write a note for missing school. Very rude and poor service. This is where we were told to go and she didn't do anything.

now my 3rd year going with my kids ! we love the place. yall do need some new saws lol seriously though, we enjoy the walk through a great variety of trees . the entire facility is clean. it's now a tradition to pick out 1 ornament at a $3 budget . always a friendly attendant when we purchase a tree that is VERY reasonably-priced .. picnic tables to sit and relax. just amazing 👏.
This tree farm is not to be trusted. I called ahead, due to the distance I would have to drive and time constraints, to see what types of trees, how tall, and what prices. I wanted a 10 ft tree. I was told $150. I repeated it with a question mark, and they said it again $150. Because it is near the end for fresh trees, I did not think this was at all strange. I drove 1.5 hours there to fine 8-9 ft trees for the most part ranging from $198-220. When I asked about the tree heights and prices, I was treated rudely, told that no one would have told me that, and lectured on the prices of trees and cost of caring for and selling them. I was told they wanted to make me happy. I went ahead and found a 8-9 ft tree (determined to just pay whatever they asked without arguing). Because of the bottom of the tree I picked and not wanting to cut off the bottom branches which were about 5 inches from the bottom, I only wanted to cut it once. Two times I told the assistant “Do NOT cut the tree. I will let my husband do that. I explained about the branches on the bottom, and he agreed to shake it and bag it BUT NOT CUT it. “When the owner cane out to get the tree with the assistant, he said $198. I calmly went to pay. They brought the tree to my car and put to on top. When I got home and stood out of the car, I noticed a fresh cut on the bottom of the tree, right up next to the lower branches. !!!! I called back to complain to the owner, and he denied that the helper would EVER do anything wrong. He said he would give me my money back, but I would need to drive all the way back to the tree farm (1.5 hours there) and leave the tree, and he would give me my money back. I paid $210.85 for them to call me a liar, twice, and cut the bottom of my tree off!!! The tree will now not look right at all! $210!!! My husband will not be able to put this tree in water till 6-8 hrs after we bought it. As you can see from the bottom, if we cut it again, we will be cutting off big branches needed to make the tree pretty and full. My husband is NOT going to be happy. I am very disappointed ☹️
Warm and welcoming Christmas tree farm worth the drive from Tampa! Ergle’s had a great selection of pre-cut trees in all shapes and sizes and it was literally like walking through a forrest of wonderful smelling trees! I bought a pre-cut tree however they had a lot of FL grown trees ready to be cut since they do offer cut your own! The staff were friendly, helpful and in abundance! This was my first time to a tree farm in FL and I think I’ll be back next year!
Ergles Christmas tree farm has been a tradition for me and my family for the past 20+ years. My great-granddaughter (8 months old) joined us today for her first visit! Thanks to Tony and his beautiful wife for a great experience every year!!
Absolutely BEST place to get your tree! They have firs, pines, and cypress. They have potted trees, too. There is a gift shop with great little treats and ornaments, too. They offer kettle popcorn, handmade Christmas wreaths, and so much more! This 60-acre farm has been established for decades. My family has been coming here every year since I was a young child. The customer service we received is incredible! Workers are very friendly and helpful. It's so much fun to walk the trees and pick one that we want. They have firs from North Carolina. They come in and immediately get put on a stand and in water. They are put in a shaded and covered area. They also have pines and cypress that you can cut down yourself using a hand saw that they provide. Overall, it's a wonderful experience and a definite MUST to visit Ergle Christmas Tree Farm in Dade City, Florida.
Such an amazing experience. Beautiful trees! Great prices and wonderful customer service. We found our new family tradition spot
Arrived at 12:30 p.m. to most of their daily lot already rummaged through. When asked when the next delivery would come out one of the men said 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. Determined to not drive back due to being able to sr the delivery under a shaded tent I walked over to another man, showed him the tree I liked but what it was missing was a little more fullness at the bottom and the guy kindly obliged, ran over to the tent after making certain we were ok with the price and receiving tons of compliments with even an I love you included an after purchasing a beautiful 4 ft for wreath shaped as a cross w/ a beautiful red ribbon (pictures to come,) we were leaving with our tree and on our way home. If that worker sees this. Thank you and stay tuned for pictures of a beautifully decorated tree. ♡
This was my first time getting a real Christmas tree (have always used an artificial tree), and I think I have been converted. Our experience at the tree farm was excellent. They had an enormous selection with different types of trees in all shapes, sizes, and prices. Once we picked ours out, the attendant helped us get it to the front where they shook it out to remove any excess needles, etc. and then they bagged it up for us. We really enjoyed the experience and I already look forward to next year.

Own a piece of history
The hours state they are open until 5 and I got here at 4:20 and they are closed. Their other store American Eagle Antique Mall was open and even tells you to visit this one. I am from out of the area and it is frustrating to drive far and for a business that is supposed to be open not be. I definitely won't waste my time driving back. Be sure to call before you go so you don't have the same thing happen to you.
If I could give zero stars, I would. After all the many times my husband and I have walked through this store to see if there's some kind of history we would like to own, we've never found one thing worth her exorbitant prices...and she's extremely rude.
