    Drinks and music at the square
    Beth Ann M.

    Love this square. Always lots of options. Live music every night from 5-9. Drink huts have good drink specials and offer a variety of mixed drinks, beer and wine. If you don't like to drink, Dunkin is on one of the corners and there is an Ice Cream shop too (Scooples). The bands offer a lot of variety in the types of music played. There are plenty of restaurants around the square for a nice meal and a lot of seating to enjoy the entertainment. They have stadium seating and folding chairs you can put out yourself. You can also bring your own chairs, which a lot of people do and there are other benches, tables and chairs throughout. The square regularly has market nights, festivals, etc., and on Saturday Mornings, there is the farmer's market until 1 or 2pm. We enjoy driving up in our golf cart, grabbing a drink and listening to the music. Our favorite spot is between Tommy Bahama and the Rustic Rose, that breezeway has a few outdoor couches, tables and chairs. It's just the perfect distance from the stage to still enjoy the music, but you can hear each other talk. Just don't steal my spot! Parking is abundant. Just go behind the main buildings to large parking lots. If you come in a golf cart, it's even easier. Parking and entertainment are FREE to all - you don't have to live in the villages to enjoy the fun here.

    The ONE and only food vendor at the Arts & Crafts Festival July 2024.

    Arts & Crafts Festival July 2024 - only 1 food vendor. The way the Villages operates festivals is ridiculous. Any festival anywhere else has a plethora of options and supports their vendors. Once again, The Villages loves to provide less than events.

    Performance stage with dancing area.

    We love coming to this non smoking venue of nightly entertainment. It's located in The Villages, Florida. The nightly bands are different but geared to the older crowd. Music from the 70's on up. There are folding chairs and covered bleachers. Lots and lots room for dancing . Very common to see line dancers, couples, and solo dancers just doing their own thing. It's all good. Tonight, we are seeing Anita Drink three person band and lemme tell you, it's great. The mother/daughter team remind me of a mix of Stevie Nicks and Bonnie Raitt. Their drummer does an very fine Johnny Cash bass vocal. We just might stay the whole three hours of free entertainment! Drinks are served on the corners of the square and the whole thing is surrounded by dining and shops.

    This is a pretty cool area. It's a little more upscale and pricey than other Squares in The Villages. And therefor maybe not quite as fun, but still a very nice area to hang out. Mainly because of the free nightly live music. Definitely worth checking out.

    Far from the house we find this place where seniors are concentrated. There are variety of golf carts .. people have entertainment people who play music. very funny.

    This was my first time visiting the World Equestrian Center, and even though we were in a rush, I…read morewas so impressed. We stopped by last minute to take a few graduation photos of my niece before heading to her ceremony, and the grounds made the perfect backdrop. We didn't have much time to explore because we were trying to get to graduation, but everywhere we looked was beautiful. The property is well maintained, clean, and full of gorgeous photo opportunities.

    UPDATE (July 2026): I also posted this review on a wedding review website. Approximately 18 months…read morelater, The World Equestrian Center disputed that review and asked the platform to remove it. I provided documentation supporting the factual statements in my review, yet it was still removed based on a technical eligibility determination, not because my experience was found to be untrue. Based on the platform's published review policies and the timeline of my case, I believe the review was removed in error. In my opinion, this is another example of WEC choosing to challenge customer criticism rather than take accountability. It only reinforces the lack of professionalism we experienced throughout our wedding planning process. I stand by every word of my original review and hope other couples will carefully consider our experience when choosing a wedding venue. - original review- Brides and grooms, beware. My fiancé and I signed a contract with the World Equestrian Center in December 2023 for our wedding ceremony in the Chapel and our reception on the Stirrups Terrace. We were thrilled, believing we had secured our dream wedding. However, just 41 days before our big day, I discovered on WEC's website that they were hosting a Grand Prix event in the main arena and selling tickets for a dining experience on the Stirrups Terrace where our dream reception was to take place. Learning about this significant change online, rather than through our WEC representative, highlights their unprofessionalism--unacceptable for a venue of this caliber. When we confronted WEC, they admitted to being aware of the conflict but insisted we relocate our reception to another area. All that was offered to my fiancé and I for this massive inconvenience was a 40 x 40 tent for 74 guests. Since we were unwilling to move our reception to a new location, WEC cancelled our contract with 37 days to go before our wedding date. They also refused to mass cancel our room block so my fiancé and I had to contact every guest that booked at the hotel to call and cancel. This breach of contract has utterly ruined our wedding day. It feels like a blatant bait-and-switch, driven by greed; they clearly prioritize making money over honoring commitments to their clients. They will toss aside your wedding contract if a better offer comes along. I strongly advise prospective couples to consider other options before trusting the World Equestrian Center with such an important occasion.

The Florida Ballpark otherwise…read moreknown as Condron Ballpark is a beautiful and excellent facility in the Gainesville community. This ballpark hosts the Florida Gators baseball team, and it opened about 2 years ago. This ballpark has an amazing 360 design view from the 3rd level which also serves as the floor for the press box and club seating. However on the 2nd level/concourse, that's where the main seating area is. There's more than enough seating and also there's berm seating for spectators who have the thrill to catch an out ball or even a homer! If you can get a chance to walk around, you'll be able to see the history of Gator baseball and the team's accolades. The concession stand has great food options ranging from the classic ballpark eats like hotdogs, peanuts, and popcorn to chicken caesar salad wraps, fried key lime cheesecake with a raspberry sauce, and a watermelon cooler. Also, the bathrooms are very clean which are amazing at a sporting event. My only issue is the parking, parking can be very tough especially if there's a tough competitor for the week/weekend, so I advise to get there early. I have been to several games this season, and I definitely enjoy the atmosphere and hanging out with the Gator fans.

    Excellent new facilities conveniently located across the street from the softball field. If you…read moreplan your visit just right, you can catch 2 games and not have to change parking spaces. We came for an SEC game against lsu and unfortunately didn't fair very well. Parking is available at multiple locations within a short walk even with softball happening around the same time. We had some great times at the old ballpark but understand that we gotta keep progress moving. The cover over the majority of the seats is a welcome change for those sweltering summer games.

( sorry for the late post ) The check in was really easy and the small clear bag policy wasn't an issue. Parking was easy as we parked by the near parking garage and walked maybe 5 minutes to the stadium. We had a really good time at the game watching the pride win and really enjoyed the fireworks and music during the halftime. Food selection was good and the had a variety of Pepsi products and cold beers. I'm looking forward to going to games this year with my daughter as she plays soccers and has not been to a game. On the website it shows the season of 16 games running through November 1,2026 so I will definitely be updating my review for the current season.

Going to watch the Orlando City games is an experience but to be a part of The Wall, that's a whole new level of excitement. From whistle to whistle, chants to screams you will always be entertained. The supporters on The Wall, are non stop roars of energy and loyalty. The on going chants, singing, drums and waving of flags are contagious energy that keeps the team and supporters going. The stadium is easy to navigate. Please note, IF YOU ARE WEARING JERSEY'S FROM OTHER TEAMS YOU CANNOT ENTER THROUGH THE SUPPORTERS GATE AND YOU CANNOT ENTER THE SUPPORTERS AREA. You will be turned away and worse, you will be heavily mocked by the Orlando City fans. Views from any seat are sure to be great. Keep in mind that The Wall is all standing but that's ok since you will be jumping, dancing, cheering and screaming the whole game. Believe me, once you've experienced a game from The Wall, you'll never want to sit anywhere else. I sure have not. There are a of food options which will please all ages and food personalities. Prices are not outrageous so don't think you'll be loosing an arm or a leg. Prices for tickets are also super reasonable so a family night to the soccer fields are always reasonable. Another stop, another story. Until the next one...this one get's a thumbs up.

    There's no denying this stadium has one of the most negative reputations in all of Major League…read moreBaseball. And from the outside, it is apparent why. Plenty of beige concrete and the white ceiling. A little light blue paint here and there on the bottom. It's not going to bring out artists to take renderings of it. The oversized fake baseballs on the outside don't exactly help. Near the home plate entrance, they have two statues. One of which is for winning a pennant. I mean, really? And remember, it's clear bags only, as if it were an NFL stadium. And then inside, I would describe the field area as tacky and sterile. The catwalks are so prevalent they should charge people extra admission to walk them. And bless them, I know the hurricane from a few years ago caused massive problems. But looking at the white roof form the inside, it looks just like a canopy covering you'd see at a circus. The tank in center field with live stingrays is cool to look at for about a minute or two. For food, I started with the Chicken Parm sandwich. I was incredibly impressed by the bread, it was a toasted semolina loaf. Could not have been much better. The chicken was pretty crispy, that was actually better than what I had at New York the prior day. Didn't love the marinara, it needed more seasoning. About an hour later, I tried a Cubano sandwich. And it was served Tampa style with Genoa salami added to the usual roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickle slices, and mustard. It was very good, though I'm not sure if I prefer that one or the Miami style more. I would say the Tampa sandwich is a little bit saltier with the addition of the salami, but at least there's more meat. Maybe the weird part is I drank a bottled protein milkshake with it. I mean it was the same price as a soda or a water, so why not? Alcohol was a joke. The cheapest option was around $18. For this stadium, with so few fans, there should be some decent deals. Maybe a Budweiser for $5 at one specific stand? Just an idea?! At the game, there were maybe 13,000 fans, at least a third of them were rooting for Toronto. And my goodness, you talk about advertisement overload! And yet, there is just one scoreboard, it's in right field. So they compress a lot of information onto that one board. As a result, it can be hard to find the info you're looking for. I'm looking for a radar gum for the mph of the pitch and I'm finding vertical break and all this other stuff. Probably took about five or six pitches. One other knock, this place gets too focused on politics and sexuality with certain signs and advertisements. Not cool. I'm coming to a bseball game to have fun. Not to think about the problems of the world.
