What a gem of a farm for children's birthdays ! I had my daughter's birthday party at old mcmickeys and it was so much fun ! I had 17 years experience of planning birthday parties for my teenager, but by far this was the most fun outdoor party . I'm not understanding all the bad reviews. Everything went as planned and smoothly. We toured the farm before so knew what to expect. Krystal was very prompt in her responses each time we had a question. It clearly says on the website if one is able to read that Birthday Party for up to 20 guests (all guests 2 and up including adults are counted) includes guided farm tour, pizza, a bag of chips and one beverage for each guest. All guests over the age of 2 are counted. There is a charge for each additional guest, but it is very reasonable . The immediate family of birthday child is not counted, including the parents and one sibling . The venue also provides white plates, napkins and utensils. Outside food and drink are permitted with the acceptation of alcohol. Outside decorations are also permitted with the acceptation of confetti and piñatas. All parties are held from 10am-1pm. There is a private party space for $100 extra based on availability, but we preferred the open barn party space with Lakeview. On this particular day, they were booked so there were 3 other parties taking place. It can get loud but that's expected of kids. The party space is sectioned pretty well so there should be no confusion for the kids to stay in their space. The tour starts promptly around 10:20 to 10:30 AM. A lot of our guests actually showed up late so they were able to join in on the tour. This includes petting goats, bunnies , baby chickens , a hay ride , chasing chickens , pony rides and educational information about other animals. The pony ride went smoothly as can be. Yes there were some crying children, but they had two horses running and overall the kids had a great time. The tour itself was about 1.5 hours. By noon is when lunch was served. We did bring extra drinks as one per person was not enough For a hot day. The kids were especially thirsty during the tour so I would advise bringing a water bottle as the food's and drinks are not served until after the tour .There is one pizza box per 5 guest so about 2 slices each, but we brought extra food from Publix and that worked out well . I would advise to bring your own napkins as there were not enough provided . You get a private tour guide who stays with you the entire time and helps with whatever you need, including set up and clean up. Mrs Xee did an incredible job keeping the children engaged. Parents are advised to stay with their children as well. This is not a babysitting service . She deserved more than the 13% tip added onto the bill so it's always nice to tip them extra as they only work on weekends. All adults and children had a wonderful time and the top off. We received four free tickets for our next visit.!

Cookie the cow not wanting to be milked. FYI the plant in front (tropical soda apple) has a lot of thorns, even on the leaves.

This is a tough one...I want to rate them better but not sure exactly how to. We went there this weekend (2 adults, an 11 yr old, and a 7 yr old). We did get $4 off for being healthcare workers, but it was still $56 total for all of us. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and our guide Emma was very sweet and knowledgeable. Unfortunately when we went we were not able to milk the cow (cookie) as she apparently wasn't wanting to that day. So what did we do? Well, we learned about some of Florida's native animals at the education station, went to the back and were able to see cookie and the new calf with her, watch the 7yr old get on a mini horse/pony and ride around for a couple of minutes, see donkeys, catch chickens, pet goats, see turkeys, pigs, a rabbit, and there was a slide for the kids to go down (only the 7 yr old went). Afterwards we decided it was basically an educational petting zoo. The rest of our group had smaller children with them, so there was some smaller kid crying and whining a bit...but neither you nor the farm can help that. The ponies were not big enough for the 11 yr old and they said they sometimes bring out the larger horses...not sure when though. The slide is also only for the kids. For the price, not really a good deal. Maybe if the cow was available and they had horses that everyone could ride, maybe? As I said though, the grounds are beautiful and it would be a nice place for a picnic. Perhaps if you're considering going, call ahead the day of to see if any of the "attractions" are closed.

My 2 year old grandson loved it and so did I!! Nice relaxed atmosphere and the employees are super!! We'll definitely return soon!!

This is an old farm that has been opened for years. Every person that visits the farm gets a tour guide and they take you around the farm and give you information about each station that you go to with the animals. There were about 8 stations. Jason was very patient and great with the kids. The students were able to pet a donkey, pig, rabbit, goat, they learned how to catch a chicken, milk a cow, and rode a horse, they were able to ride on a tractor through the "oldest" camp in Florida where they saw cabins from the 1940's. They give you hand sanitizer before you leave each station. We didn't eat lunch there, but there is a covered pavilion to eat your lunch if you chose to bring it. The students received great educational information and had a great authentic experience learning about animals.

My cousin from Los Angeles who is originally from Miami chose to have her wedding here with her fiance who is from the Gainesville area. This place wasn't exactly neutral but after searching far and wide and considering they could have had their wedding anywhere between Florida and California she ended up choosing this place, McMicky's farm in a place none of us have been before really. I've been to Florida more times that I can remember but I've never really gone often to the west side so as far as Odessa or north Tampa goes it was new. Plugging the address into the GPS made this place not hard to find and considering some of eastern Florida was dealing with Hurricane Matthew this place showed no sign of bad weather or wear of any kind. Lucky for us considering the wedding was the Saturday following when Matthew hit the area between Daytona and Jacksonville. Arriving close to 5pm (when the wedding was actually set to start) the area is so quiet and serene. The sunlight reflects off the almost still water while green surrounds the peripheral vision. The stirring of a few quiet farm animals can be heard and while it's a farm that has a few animals on site it doesn't smell overwhelmingly like there are many animals present. The lake is beautiful and the slope leading to the water is ever so gradual. The skies and sun that afternoon were perfect. I could see why my cousin selected this place to host her most special day with her closest friends and family that traveled from Miami-Dade, friends from LA and us, from Toronto. This venue is the two of them to a tee, genuine, down to earth wholesome goodness. There was nothing over the top here and it didn't have to be but rather a really good place to host an outdoor ceremony by a clear still lake landscape. The reception area was covered and well dressed and comfortable. It was a great night put together by two special people and McMicky's helped make it perfect for them. Thank you.

Had a great time here with my 4 year old niece. She loved it. And our guide Audrey along with the rest of the staff did an amazing job. Audrey was very knowledgeable & super patient with all the little kids. Great hands on experience for kids to pet the animals, learn a little, go down a fun slide and do a hay ride. Highly recommended and it would be a fun place for a kids birthday party

Located in the Odessa/keystone area, Old McMickey's farm is perfect for children under the age of 8. We had a groupon and took my 3 year old nephew. We all really enjoyed it. Groups leave every 15 minutes, and you must be with the group at all times. At first I was a little annoyed we couldn't go off on our own, but now I know why. It would be too chaotic and too unsafe for the animals to have a bunch of kids running around. You stay at each station about 15 minutes. The highlights for my nephew were the chicken coop (they allow you to pick up the chickens), the pony ride loop and the slide. We also visited with potbelly pigs, mini donkeys, milked a cow and played with Pygmy goats. With our groupon it was $10 for 1 adult and 1 child. We paid $12 for the extra adult. I don't know if I would have paid $35 for all of us to get in, but with a groupon it was a good deal. Oh! They also have a covered barn area where you can host a kid's birthday party.

This review is for their camp…read more It's crazy that nine years ago I went on the zip line course and here we are now and I have a seven-year-old who went to camp here. I actually had no idea they had a camp in the summer until one of my son's friends wanted to go here and asked us to join him. I'm so glad he did because it was an absolutely fantastic camp. It is fully outside, but they are mainly in the shade so I didn't worry about sunburn and also the kids never complained about it being hot. I have no idea what wizardry this is, but it was completely fine. Three days they zip line and two days they paddleboard. I was actually quite nervous because my son is small so I wasn't sure if he'd be able to zip line. I did call and ask and they said if it's a windy day that he would be tethered to a Guide. He ended up skipping zip lining for two of the days, but on the final day of zip line, he did it and he loved it. He's actually now asking for us to go back together. They also provide lunch, which is fantastic because I hate figuring out what to send for food. They provide snacks as well so all I had to do was send my son with a water bottle and on certain days with a swimsuit and towel. He had a fantastic time. You can drop off at 8:30 and pick up at 4:30, they really don't start till about 9:30 though and I totally took advantage of a later drop off. You can pay eight dollars a day to pick up at five, which is extremely reasonable. We've already been talking about going back to camp again here next year and maybe for additional weeks. He loved it.

My daughter was adamant about zip lining for her birthday while we were on vacation. I found…read moreEmpower adventures and set it up easily online. Once we arrived the crew explained everything to us gave us the safety demo and we were off! Our guides, Andrew and Ryan were amazing! They were young and vibrant and kept our daughters entertained (6-7 IYKYK). We went through each zip line and obstacle with ease and had a great time while doing it. We learned a few fun facts about the birds and wildlife we came across and were given a few places to head to once we left. Overall this was a fun event to add to our great vacation. We would definitely come back and do it all over again. Thanks so much guys!
