I usually go to the fair once a year to try some of their food suggested by people online. So my…read morerating is based off their food, not the actual rides. The elephant ears are really good. A sweet delight that I think everyone associates with the fair. It is VERY buttery, so that could be a turn off visually to some. I also order the Doritos loco chicken on a stick. Pleasantly surprised with the flavor profile of this. As the name suggests, it's a chicken pierced by a stick. It is fried, and covered with liquid cheese and Doritos crumbs. While unhealthy, it was super delicious. The last item is the one I was most excited for, but unfortunately I would never get again. I heard from some friends that the Birria Ramen was great. Unfortunately, it was overly salty. They use the $1 Marucha ramen cups that you get at Publix, and they put birria mix in it. The taste was overwhelming. I would rate 3/10. Overall, despite me only coming for the food. The FAIR is a fun place to bring the family. It has varies rides, and activities to take advantage of.

To drink, I had the freshly squeezed lemonade in the novelty cup which offers discounted refills (definitely worth it, definitely recommend. Wonderfully refreshing for this FL hot days). If you're like me, who are not there for the rides, do not pass on the shows. The ice skating in particular was so much fun, and so entertaining; good for the whole family. Parking is free, but there is a 'preferred ' parking option where you pay to park closer. I used the free parking but I got there at 2:00pm so the walk wasn't bad. Definitely bring a hat, and possibly one of those portable fans (I did). The heat is no joke and there is limited shade.

It would've been nice if they had more staff working the day of because it was a lot of wait time to get in and participate in certain activities. Other than that activities were all super fun. We got to take pictures with the Easter bunny, go through the sunflower maze, my son got to play in the children's playground, he was able to participate in the egg hunt and we had some delicious açai bowls for lunch! There are also so many beautiful activations throughout the farm to take cute Easter photos. They do such a great job decorating the farm!

When I asked about it, the staff member said she didn't know why it wasn't applied. More concerning -- I was told they do not provide receipts. For a paid ticketed event, that's not acceptable. Customers should be able to receive proof of purchase. The strawberry fields themselves had very little ripe fruit visible, which did not match the marketing expectations. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and money. Transparency and better organization would make a big difference.

Fun for kids and surprisingly enjoyable for adults too…read more We ended up at Pinto's Farm somewhat by accident while in the area, and we were glad we did. It's clearly geared toward kids, but we still had a good time as adults. We were able to pet the goats and sheep and talk with one of the staff members, who was friendly, patient, and happy to answer our questions. It made the visit feel welcoming rather than just a quick walk-through. There are a few growing pains, it seems. Some areas could use clearer signage, and the place felt a bit understaffed at times but nothing that ruined the experience. Overall, it's a worthwhile visit. Adults will enjoy it, and kids will almost certainly love it.

Here at Pinto's Farm in the Redlands area of Miami, FL, I'd like to highlight two sections around…read morethe grounds that made for a worthwhile visit. The first part is the paddle boats. Designed to accommodate 2 passengers, leisurely float down the tropical inlet of a man-made river. Riders can enjoy unlimited paddling trips and it's a nice way to appreciate nature, surrounded by colorfully green waters and palm trees. Next area of the farm to check out is the Petting Zoo. Quickly grab the attentions of goats and sheep by purchasing a small bucket of hay for $5. The animals are not shy and they have endless appetites. Pinto's Farm also has a race track, pony and tractor rides. The Brewery House offers food and refreshments and Pinto's Ice Cream Truck sells handcrafted milkshakes. General admission is $20 per person on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Overall, Pinto's Farm is a pleasant way to spend a few quality hours within the suburban community of Miami, FL.

I'd never been to the Everglades before and an airboat tour seemed to be the thing so I bought the ticket and took the ride. I wouldn't mind going back to the Everglades but I don't think I'd take another airboat tour. It was an alright experience but a one and done for me. Our captain had his schtick down with jokes left and right, or is that port and starboard? They give you both written and verbal reminders that they appreciate tips so even with the steep $50 charge I handed him a fiver after. We saw a couple gators up close and they just jdgaf about tourists gawking at them or how very loud the airboats are. Those creatures are all about energy conservation mode when they're lazing about in the Florida sun. The boats are loud. Ours hit 116 db on the decibel meter on my phone. That's about 15 decibels louder than the loudest I measured at the Pistons/Magic game at the Kia Center and only one decibel short of the loudest it got at The Offspring concert at the Florida Strawberry Festival. They do provide foam earplugs at ESP but I've become inured to loud noise and/or sustained hearing damage from the many concerts I've gone to so I only wore them a lot while. Just like at Universal upstate (is upstate Florida a thing?) you get a preshow with your boat ride. You get to see gators and your host holds a baby gator and maybe a snake and maybe a bird or something? I can't remember... I've got so many vacation reviews I'm trying to keep straight and I was just ready for the boat tour. One obnoxious kid was pretty hilarious, taping our host with the creatures as close as he possibly could and following her around as she tried to give everyone a good look with him getting in the way no matter where she turned. Finally the kid's grandfather got him to stop crowding her. I couldn't believe how patient she had been up to that point. There's a short nature trail here as well but I thought I'd get that in somewhere else and hit the road once our airboat tour concluded.

First I got to wrestle well hold a gator ( baby ) for a photo and then I jumped onto a fan boat ride which is a high-speed, shallow-water boat cruising through mangroves and grass, perfect for spotting alligators and birds.... All I cared about was the gators but the need for speed was awesome. I felt very Miami Vice minus the music by Jan Hammer but damn it was fun flying around the swamp. This place was a lot of fun so I'm gonna give it my approval with the Devil horns in the air as I head bang...

The drive was about 45 minutes for us, and I definitely recommend purchasing tickets online and downloading the zoo app ahead of time the map in the app was super helpful while walking the grounds. There was plenty of parking, which made arrival easy. Because the weather was cooler earlier in the day, some of the animals weren't out, but we still enjoyed seeing the ones that were. We stopped by a stand and grabbed spiked slushies, and let me tell you they were realllllllyyyyy good! Especially once the day heated up, they were very refreshing as we walked around. The zoo offers several ways to get around, including guided golf cart tours, a mini train, and cycle cart rentals. We decided to skip those and just get our steps in instead, which worked out nicely. We had a great time with the animals we did get to see, though we only managed to cover about half of the zoo before the little one was ready to head out. We'll definitely be back to finish exploring!

I have been coming to Zoo Miami, since it was called the Metro Zoo. This place is a gem and so…read morenostalgic. The zoo has gone through so many changes, most for the better. I LOVE sharing my love for Zoo Miami with my family. We are members and go often. A perfect day includes taking portraits, face painting, bike rentals, a food crawl through the zoo with a zoo brew, and a glimpse into animals of the world. There is something so everyone here. It's so fun to do something different each time you go... sometimes it's fun just to rent a pedal boat and hang out on the lake. There is a park for kids and 2 splash pads. One near the park and the other in the Amazon. What I love about zoo Miami is that you an experience the zoo a different way every time you come. They also host seasonal evening events. Don't miss Zoo Lights, the Annual Zoo Run, or Feast with the Beast. I wish I could post 50 more pictures. Visit the zoo you won't regret it. And if you're lucky you will run into Ron McGill.
