Not too many people know about this place but it is just west of Ormond Beach and worth the short drive. There is an old schoolhouse, general store, farm, turpentine mill, church, and a blacksmith's shop, among other buildings. The property is huge and the farm animals will keep kids entertained at least for a little while! They also have several special events throughout the year, including a Pow Wow in November.

We enjoyed home made ice cream, local honey and bake sale goodies. We walked around to see all of the home made arts and crafts as well as a few tents where my niece was able to make a craft of her own. She painted a clay jellyfish! The history and culture is so rich and inspiring. It makes you realize how spoiled we are as a society, today. Being a Native Floridian, Ive always appreciated learning about my roots. I'll always be back, for many years to come!

There are pigs, sheep, steers, chickens, rabbits, tractors, model trains, steam engines, and local honey. The midway is filled with rides and food vendors some claiming to be serving fair food since 1938. If you like gyros, corn dogs, funnel cakes, french fries, steak on a stick or pork on a bun this is the place for you.

Always a fun time to see the displays and the animals. We are not big on the rides but it is fun…read moreto see them just the same. The fair food is as you expect - more of an indulgence than to be a real meal. I wish they served beer and wine but at the same time that would likely get out of hand for some. I wish they would list the full schedule on line so that I can better plan when I am going. This year they had the livestock area closed to everyone but the owners. No one at the fair seamed to know why it was closed or when it would open again. Oh well see them next year.

Just moved to the area, and learned that Manatee love to come to the springs. So after much…read moreresearch we discovered that there is a festival that you can attend with live music, food, shows, and EVEN a bus that takes you into the spring to see the manatee. When we arrived we paid the 20 dollars to park. The lot was huge and had plenty of parking. We walked around to get our bearings, and then stood in line for the bus. The bus was a very large charter bus. As we drove past the massive line of people waiting to get inside the park, who were all in park, we realized that we made the right choice. For 10 extra dollars we didn't have to wait in a long line of cars waiting to get in. Supposedly the wait was a 45-90 minute wait depending on how long people spent looking at manatee. After enjoying the manatee the bus drove us back to the festival grounds. We got a few beers, and food. There was plenty of food trucks with lots of good options of food. After eating we sat at the main stage, and listened to the live music while we waited for the frisbee dog show. The show was a perfect ending to our day. We had so much fun that it's now on our must-do list when advising people of things to do. Can't wait till next year!

My wife and I enjoyed a three-day Blues Festival at this classic park, and I must say what a great…read moreidea this was, and how incredibly well everything was run. Security was looser and friendlier than usual at these festivals, and the seating concept was great. (We all sat in the covered stand along the first base side, which was great when it rained. The stage was set up in the infield, about 60 feet from the stands.) Beer prices were lower than usual and everybody seemed to enjoy that. No real drunkenness problems though. And it was all for a great cause: profits were donated to a pediatric ICU and a project for opioid-addicted mothers and their babies. Only caveat: not enough food choices, and essentially no vendors of non-food items. We'll be back next year. (We also enjoyed our morning walks along the beach at our beach motel.)

Yes indeed, another excellent minor league baseball experience at The Jack…read more This time it was Christmas in July night which is something that could only exist in minor league baseball. So cheesy that it was a melt but all good fun with the giving out of prizes every half inning and some fun nonsense with Shelldon. No seat is a bad seat, well maybe with the exception of baking out in the sun on the 3B side bleachers or if you're lucky enough to get stuck behind one of the posts that supports the roof, and since attendance is always seemingly miserable you can score great seats at the last minute. The food selections are basic (some minor league parks really have expanded and bougified their offerings) but here it's still your basic dogs, burgers, pretzels, chicken fingers, funnel cake fries that make up the back bone of the menu. The good thing is that prices across the board are very reasonable and the surroundings are small/informal enough that the friendliness of the staff really shines through. The Tortugas won and we saw some good pitching from Daytona along with two home runs. Sure there were also a few mental lapses from St. Lucie that equaled two errors but it was still a solid game. Good pricing, super easy to do everything from park, get tickets, find your seat, etc. All in all a great time. Definitely a must do!
