The worship is awesome. The venue is beautiful, but geared to the younger set. The music is loud and powerful. So you may need to ask for earplugs. But the worship is genuine. The minister teaches straight out of the Bible. He is passionate about leading others to the redeeming value of Christ. The members are welcoming and pleasant. There is a coffee bar in the lobby, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere.

Prepare yourself to be addicted to cinnamon rolls and strawberry milkshakes. Knaus Berry Farm has been around for ages and proven to have the best bakery item in town. They grow there own strawberries which are the sweetest and juicest berries you’ve ever tasted! You can also find their milkshake, coffee and ice cream stand next to the bakery. I’m the back you can opt for pick your own berries and weight for price cost. There is a chickee hit for eating your food and you can hear everything going on in the bakery. Parking is always hard as a middle school is acrosss the street making you park along the sides on the street. Get there early (about 6am) to be the first in line or you will be waiting 2-5 hours! Trust me, it’s worth the drive and your taste buds will thank you!

This is a fascinating, unique place with an interesting history. The tour guides are very informative and entertaining. The way Ed built the place on his own was pretty amazing - he sounded like a brilliant guy. Construction and engineering enthusiasts will really enjoy a visit. The gift shop has some interesting things, and we bought a set of books about the place so we could read some more about Ed and what he accomplished, including the research he did later in life. This place is well-worth a visit. We came down from Miami beach and spent a few hours at Safari Edventure (do the ITS tour!) and then visited Coral Castle in the afternoon. You can easily do both in one day without rushing.

I had previously been to this track for a NASCAR experience with a different company and was super excited to drive an Indy car. It was WAY more intense and extremely fun. The mandatory class does a good job of explaining what to expect, what lines to follow, and goes over some of the basic procedures (how to release your harness, how to get into the car, crash course in driving stick, etc.). Out on the track, the staff is very helpful, polite, and patient. Their cars are equipped with a 2 way radio and the spotter is in constant communication with you. My particular spotter was great and had me pushing the car (and myself) to the limit. As far as the equipment and vehicles go - everything was in great shape. The fire suit had no tears, helmets were in great shape, and the cars themselves did not look beat up. One thing to note is that the cars are limited in how fast they can go. You can easily hit the rev limiter on the straights if you push it. My certificate said my top speed was about 165 mph and I was hitting limiter almost every single time I got to the straightaways. I'm definitely doing this again!
