We found easy parking under the shade of some trees and started at the visitors center where we learned about how the Dudley family donated their farm to the state to preserve it. We picked up a self-guided tour map and explored the farmstead. We enjoyed the turkeys the best. The Tom (also named Tom) was in full display. There is a little gift shop behind the visitors center and we had fun chatting with the staff. It was a delightful walk back in time.

It's your typical Five Below with a big selection of Gator gear. If you're looking for dorm decor or an inexpensive souvenir you found your spot. Mostly everything is $5 or less. A good selection of accessories, cards, balloons, cute little stuffed animals and more. There's a little something for everyone here.

This is my absolute favorite five below to go to, but it wasnt today. My fiance and I ran in really…read morequick because we had a crappy day and wanted to look around for a quick pick me up, we completely forgot its Sunday and it closes at 6 and a worker let us know. So we hurried up, found what we wanted, and checked out. We had paid separately so I was waiting by the door to wait for him and one of the workers looked at me with a fake smile and said "the door is locked" i looked at her confused and she said "i have to open it for you to leave" so i just kinda said "okay", my fiance was done so i moved out of her way so she could unlock the door, she unlocked it and opened it for us. my fiance said "have a great day" and she proceeded to yell "YOU TOO!! YOUUUUU TOO!" as she slammed the door shut and locked it behind us while giving us a nasty look. I know we showed up late, but as soon as we realized we hurried up and left. I think the lady with glasses who closed on the night of 02/19/24 needs corrective action concerning their behavior against customers, because this was definitely my worst experience here.

The store is clean and the employees are nice and helpful. The store was recently remodeled and…read morelooks very nice inside. I shop here because I live nearby. Shop the ads for buy one get one and other specials. Get a Winn Dixie reward card. I save 15 to 20% at Winn Dixie vs. other competitors on my weekly grocery bill. Fuel perks add up quickly for commuters like me. It ends up really helping my budget. Winn Dixie store brand items are of good quality. You can save a bit and still enjoy a quality product over name brand. The only item I'm not fond of is their salsa. If you read or care about any part of my review then read and heed this. This store does a poor job of policing outdated produce/products/meats etc especially seafood. I consistently find expiring grocery items every time I shop here. Check expiration dates! If it looks like a thunderstorm don't park in the middle of the lot. The drain can't handle all the water and you will have to walk through 2" of water to get into your car. Firsthand experience. Let's try this by department: Produce - Pretty good, usually a good selection that is relatively fresh. Watch dates on name brands closely for expiration. Beer/Wine - Really Good. All the domestics and lots of specialties and trendy IPA's. Competitive pricing. Really good wine selection considering the location. Deli - Hit and Miss. I've seen rotisserie chickens so tired from a heat lamp they resembled 80 year old retirees in Naples that never leave the beach. Super brown saggin' and baggin' baby. Some of the salads/specialties/meats look old on occasion too. The fried bar is usually up to date and good. They have many different flavors of fried chicken wings and they are usually really good. Seafood - The fresh is a risk here. I've purchased bad salmon and flounder that had expiration dates 7 days later. Just do your self a favor and buy frozen. I won't buy fresh seafood here anymore. Meat and Poultry - Pretty Good. I've found some nice steaks, great chicken, roasts, etc. Dairy - Well Done. Milk/Eggs/Cheese great selections and generally fresh. General Grocery - A-OK. The shelves are well stocked with the usual items that you need in boxes/cans/etc. Frozen Foods - Really Nice. There's a broad selection of most everything. I find great BOGO deals frequently in frozen. Specialty Foods - Fair. Mexican aisle has good selections, Asian foods needs more selections. Kosher is near non-existent compared to others. Bakery - Good. Catching the Italian bread right after it comes out is a win. Other breads/cakes/muffins/doughnuts are good too. Watch expiration dates. Liquor Store - Excellent. Embarrassing to admit but I know most employees here on a first name basis. They are kind, helpful, and keep the place well stocked. They also help you find deals and specials run by the distributors. I typically save 2 to 5 dollars per visit shopping here vs. other stores. Pharmacy - Really Good. Scripts are filled quickly and the staff is helpful and courteous. Courtesy Desk - Very Good.

Came in here last week on a Tuesday or Wednesday. I asked the tall butcher who was working what…read morespecials were that day ! He told me meat specials are usually on Friday thru the weekend . Since Winn Dixie claims they are the Beef People i decided to ask the knowledgeable butcher what he suggested we should get for a steak since the ribeye's and tenderloin's weren't on sale. So he suggests SDA Choice BNLS Chuck steak beef for $9.99 on sale ! He chose two packages he said looks the best . Advising me to cook them on grill high temp for about two min. per side ! They were horrible and I had to hear it from my family ! FYI don't trust The Beef People butcher to show you what he thinks you get! It would be better for a novice such as me to pick out the meat ! I won't do that again !

I bought a pair of glasses and asked for a well-advertised frame. He said he had a better one, that was much stronger and still attractive. Two years later, I somehow dropped my glasses beside my car in a parking lot--didn't hear them fall. I had to wear my prescription sunglasses, and found the glasses when I returned to the car. Evidently they had been stepped on. I took them back to the Optical Shop and the man said that it was a good thing I had that particular frame as he was able to "save" them. .

I selected Gainesville Vision when I needed a new eye doctor based mostly on two factors: for one,…read moreI wanted an optician on site who offered Oakley brand frames and secondly, I asked a client of mine who is a physician herself what eye doctor she recommended. She said her family comes to Gainesville Vision. I have been only pleased and highly pleased at that by the professionalism and service of the doctors and their staff here. The eye exam was thorough yet quick and the doctor was very good about answering questions for me. I am involved in a variety of sports so this presents specific concerns (and also is why I insist on Oakley frames because they're about the toughest in the business). What type of variable tint would I need for soccer in bright sunlight or should I just get separate Rx sunglasses? When I am platform diving, I obviously take off my glasses so is the instant transition from corrected vision to uncorrected and from sun-filtered to not something to worry about? Other doctors have seemed unable or unwilling to really delve into specific sports-centric vision issues with me but this one did, and did so gladly. She was simply excellent. When I came back to get the frames I selected when the glasses' lenses were ready, the technician involved was equally professional. When I ran into some issues with these frames playing soccer weeks later, they had time for me again and ended up sending the frames back and getting news ones which worked better at no additional cost. I never felt rushed or like I was causing an imposition for anyone here but instead that they take all the time necessary to ensure each patient's needs are completely met. Very impressed with the entire business.
