Military History Buffs should make plans to visit this regional recreation center in The Villages, Florida. This facility has what I would call real life history of the military on display on the walls and those items on display were donated by the veteran or the veterans family for display at the facility. There is so much military history to see one would have to spend all day viewing the items if they are serious about military history. Living the Life in The Villages Florida is so much fun and interesting, yall come.

Fife of us had breakfast here. Service was excellent. The food good and hot. Had the French Toast with 2 eggs and ham. Eggs cook perfect. Over easy. Ham was just a touch salty. Everyone said their breakfast was very good. Coffee was plenty and hot. All servers were wearing their masks. Seating outside was social distances.

The Rustic Rose

Reviewed By Dreamersdoit1 - The Villages, United States

Much enjoyed the air conditioned shop on a hot day. Located near the Brownwood Market Square, the shopping offers paintings, ocean shells, and so much more. The staff wore masks and require people in the store to also wear masks. The number of shoppers are limited to allow for social distancing. Worth visiting and then cross the street to enjoy the western Market Square theme.

Reviewed By lisab71505 - Plainfield, United States

My parents live in The Villages and we always look forward to visiting Brownwood when we come for a visit. The people are always friendly and easygoing. There’s a lot of cute shops with lots of variety for people shopping (clothes, trinkets, home decor, etc..) Every night from 5-9pm there is love music to enjoy. There are drinks available, too (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic).

Old Mill Playhouse

Reviewed By 379jenniferh - Brentwood, United States

This is the cleanest movie theater ever! No weird smells! Good concessions; popcorn, candy, icees, hot dogs too-no alcohol. Theater is in good condition. Bucket seats that lean back and have cupholder armrests but no recliner footrests. Not very many people at a 415 showing. Booster seats available for free for small kids, they are in the theater (red blocks), just pick one up if need be, would probabaly also work for some lumbar support. Nice, friendly staff Very clean restrooms. 3D movie we saw was good.

The Barnstorm theater has a wonderful sound system and great stadium seating. The seats are comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. The popcorn is fresh and delicious. Take a jacket because it can get cold like most places in The Villages.
