An absolute wonderful time I had at Wacahoota Farms U-Pick Blueberries. This place is great. We…read morewent a few weekends ago and it was a rainy day. We hoped they would be open and to our surprise they were open and had tons of Blueberries and not many people. They charge $5 per pound of Blueberries or $25 for the full bucket which holds 5 to 6 pounds. If you decide you do not want to pick the blueberries yourself they charge 1 pound bags for $6. In order to get to this farm you either have to take Wiliston Rd or 441. You make your way down a dirt road and you keep driving. Thankfully they had signs that said U-Pick Blueberries which made it much easier to find. When at the farm they have several acres of Blueberries. We started picking and sampling at the same time. It was great to try the different types of blueberries they had. Every 10 minutes they hard what sounded like a gun shot go off to scare the birds away. They also had a bull horn to scare the birds as well. It was pretty epic. Overall I had a wonderful time picking the blueberries. It was fun and it was a great way to social distance from others. I would for sure recommend this farm.

$5/lb you pick or call ahead and they'll have them ready for you at $6/lb! Big nice juicy…read moreblueberries; top notch place !! We will be back for sure!

Coon Hollo Farm is a family run farm. It has been in the same family for 5 generations. This is the…read morefirst year that they opened their farm to the public and created a corn maze, had hayrides, a "farmyard" playground, and small pumpkin patch. I took my 2 year old son on Halloween. It was surprisingly not very busy that day but, apparently, that was not the norm. My son was too tired to explore much and just wanted to be held. So I decided to take him on the hayride. It was a nice ride out to a pasture where a herd of cows were grazing. The driver took us right into the middle of the herd and they swarmed us, knowing it meant food. Alex was scared by the cows, but I was impressed and enjoyed feeding the cows the feed they provided. I would say we were out there for at least 10 min before they took us back. Again I tried to get Alex to play, unsuccessfully. But we did take a short walk through the corn maze which he seemed to like because it was an easy path to follow. After that, he explored some tractors they had set up in the play area. I tried to get him interested in romping around in the hay play fort, but he wasn't very interested. The farm offered another little ride which we got on and I think he liked it. I know I did. I'm such a kid at heart. We didn't hang out long after that because Alex was just exhausted and so was I. I feel like it was a nice time shared with my son. It had potential to be much better if he had taken a nap that day and was well rested. I thought the pumpkin patch was small. The play area was really nice. They did offer a concession stand. One of my coworkers said the burgers were great and a good price. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to taste them myself. Since this was their first year, I definitely see room for improvement. It definitely has potential to become something really great. It was definitely worth the $8 spent.

How it worked this year was admission was free and each food ticket was $2. Some places would require more than one ticked while other places a ticket would get you a lot. There were a lot of different options from smoothies and desserts to savory options like tacos, sandwiches and even ribs. There were also non-food booths doing giveaways and handing out coupons. Would definitely go again next year.

The food fest was held at Celebration Pointe which was an excellent location for it, and the weather was perfect. This was a great way for me and my buddies to get our weekend started early. We arrived at 4:50 p.m. to secure a good parking space, and we had a great time meandering around to the different canopy stations. The DJ was fantastic and the live music was very good. I bought $10 worth of tickets which gave me 5 tickets. I spent one ticket on all the food offerings I had. I had a delicious brisket slider from 4 Rivers two separate times, a box of two Krispy Kreme donuts (my favorite donuts), a Ahi Tuna Sashimi mini plate from Bone Fish that tasted great, and a very fine comfort food mini plate from Texas Road House complete with mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and pot roast with gravy. One of the best CM's in the world, Matt L., treated me to delicious savory meatball and pasta mini plate from Pomodoro's halfway through the experience. I was completely full by the time we left the food fest to go to see our 7PM blockbuster movie. We enjoyed ourselves; it was a nice 4.5 star event. We pre-registered online and still had to stand in line to receive tickets. Moments later the friendly Texas Roadhouse manager directed us to another line that made more sense having pre-ordered our tickets. The cashiers at ticket distribution tables we presented to initially should have given us the correct information when they saw us with the appropriate barcodes and receipts.

Once a month, UF's IFAS opens up their private stocked fishing ponds to public access.

If you have a kid that wants to catch fish and catch them often, this is a fun place to spend an hour or two. You are welcome to bring your own fishing gear, but theirs works just fine. I do suggest bringing a chair, as there are not many places to sit.

Take me out the ball game and buy some peanuts and crackerjacks!! 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.

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.
