Well what a find. How can you live near something for donkey's years and not know it exists. We really only found out about it by going into a Tourist Office for info on something else. They even gave us dicount tickets for it. Not that it is expensive anyway but it was a bonus. You need to look it up on the web to get the low down on the attraction. The way I would describe it is an Old Wild West Original Town. It has the buildings of homes, church, farming, railway station etc. Some origional and some built to exact copy. This is not only a place for adults but is wonderful education for children of all ages. If you get a chance then please put it on your list of things to do. Once you know it exists then it is a doddle to find. Thanks for a fantastic visit. One down side : If only you could get a coffee there, perhaps something to think about. Keith C

We went here one late afternoon because I heard you could pay for a few rides. Well, yes, you can, but it is $10 a ride. The day pass is $49.95, so it didn't make sense to pay for a few rides when after five rides, for the same price they could ride all day. So it looked so cool and the place was not that busy, so we came back the next day when we had more time. Also, make sure to check out the Old Town website because it has information about Old Town. If you go to the Old Town General Store they will give you sheets of coupons with discounts for all of the stores in Old Town, and $5 off the Fun Spot all day pass. So, we used our military discount for $5 off the entire day pass. My husband did not get a pass, but got a free yellow wristband to ride with our smallest child on the go carts. Overall, after two packed days at the Disney parks, this was a wonderful break! There were really no or very short lines for rides. We rode everything over and over. There were plenty of different rides for all ages, and don't forget on the other side of Old Town there are four more great rides (carousel, tilt whirl, crazy couch, and parasol rides) as well as the large Ferris Wheel in front. The game room was great as well. The concessions were all reasonable, easily available, and scattered throughout the park. Parking was easy and we were maybe 30 feet from the entrance. Basically, we just thought we would try this out, and boy was I impressed. It was so carefree yet so fun, I think my kids enjoyed this park more than Disney just because we weren't fighting crowds and enduring long waits. AND, all of the staff here were very professional, kind, and engaging. They clapped for you at the end of every ride. Guessing we did 75-100 rides while there for four hours. If you want a change of pace that will make your kids happy and be easy for you as a parent, this is your place. And you can stroll through Old Town and see a variety of fun shops, food places and outdoor bars. Your kids will love it, and so will you. If you buy something, your car is so close you can just go stick it in your trunk. Just was a great way to spend our last day in Florida!

We went to the Wizardz Theatre on the first night of our holiday and didn't realise just how fantastic it was going to be! We saw Trent James in action who is not only a brilliant magician but a real comedian too! We paid £20 for front row seats and it was so worth it! The hour flew by and we were disappointed that it had to end! Definitely one of the most fun parts of our holiday and would absolutely recommend that you check this out!

We have been there with our grandchildren several times and really enjoyed it. The teacher volunteers are extremely helpful. It is not busy and extremely peaceful. We were able to observe from the safety of a raised boardwalk a lot of wildlife such as alligators, turtles, snakes (cottonmouth, rat snake etc), a variety of wading birds, a horned owl on its nest, wood storks ... something different each time we have visited.
