Rosaire's Riding Academy & Pony Rides is wonderful! Ellian Rosaire is a wonderful teacher for new…read moreriders or adults returning to riding. Safety for her students and her animals is a priority for her. She knows her ponies/horses and assesses a new student for a good fit for both. My granddaughter trained with Ellian for about 5 years and attended summer camp also before she moved to college. I have attended many training classes over these years and I've enjoyed watching the development of her students during those years. I highly recommend Rosaire's for your rider. Nothing fancy but definitely fun and safe.

We are thoroughly impressed with Ellian at Rosaire's Riding Academy! We signed up our two kids for…read moreprivate beginner lessons and were immediately impressed with her style of teaching! Our kids learned more in her private lesson than any other lesson they've done in the past. She chose the perfect horses based on my kids' personalities and instilled an immense amount of self confidence in both of them right from the beginning! We feel blessed to have found Ellian and are excited to see all that our kids learned through her professionalism!

This is a nice community park featuring lap pool, walking trail, dog park, and a playground area…read moreand workout area in back behind the pool. The playground area has some lovely old oak trees. Arlington has some great activities for small children on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In 2022 they also did a great Halloween trail and events including pumpkins in the pool and a Bark-o-Ween dog friendly event. There is good variety of trees and plants along the trail. The park borders a residential area and houses. There is a gym and updated bathrooms. There is a large stand of invasive Brazilian Pepper that needs removing from the park. More native plantings and no mow areas would be welcome. But overall this is a great park with a lot to offer for swimmers, walkers, dogs, children, nature lovers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

Really enjoyed our trip here. I don't want to compare this place to a zoo but let me...it's not…read more These animals you can tell are happy. They know the staff walking around and you can tell their personalities. The animals were having fun with their toys and were well taken care of. We fed the lions and bears and these animals took food off of the sticks so gently. These normal encounters felt like you were so close to them. Such beautiful animals. Really worth a visit.

I think the best way to review the Pirate Adventures of Cortez is to compare it to Captain Memo's…read morepirate cruise in Clearwater Beach. Captain Memo's is on a much bigger ship, and though my kids had fun on it, I would call it "manic fun". There were an insane amount of people on board and all the kids were running and screaming everywhere (my daughter ended up getting elbowed in the eye), and we felt like we were dying of heat stroke because the ship has very poor ventilation and not enough shady seats. For the Pirate Cruise of Cortez, we absolutely LOVED it!! It was 1000% worth the hour drive from Clearwater. It's a decent sized boat with just the right number of people on board and shady seats with great breezes to keep us cool. It was extremely engaging and they had a very fun itinerary. My kids were wildly entertained and they did a great job keeping the kids' attention and keeping things under control. The staff put on an awesome show full of magic and wonder and did a fantastic job engaging with the kids. I could've sat back and watched the whole time from a comfortable and breezy bench in the shade, but it was so much fun that I found myself getting involved and having a great time. We went first thing in the morning and the weather was perfect. I can't recommend this place enough!! ‍

Such an amazing cruise! The staff was fun and hilarious and our kids loved it! I would recommend…read moreit for sure.
