Excellent. Many more treasures than I was expecting. We loved it! My dad has 2 pieces in the museum and it was so special for my son to get to see them, too.

Leesburg Public Library

Reviewed By gjvision - Okahumpka, United States

Sign up was quick and easy with the helpful staff. My preference is to order books online so they can be brought in from other branches and I can pick them up in one stop. I have found a wonderful selection of Florida informational books this way and intend to continue this. The downtown facility is large and bright. Parking is easy. I also enjoy downloading the Overdrive audio books to my phone for listening while I walk. I hope they continue adding titles to their catalog through Overdrive.

Tropic Theater

Reviewed By Y5781EKbilla

Tonight, my husband and I attended the tribute to music from the 50's to the 80's. What a wonderful performance by Lori Gill and her bandmates! The music moved easily from early 50's Do Wop to rock (Janis Joplin) to easy listening (Karen Carpenter) to Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Wonder, Beatles, Dave Clark Five, Beach Boys, Martha and the Vandellas, Elvis, Bob Seeger, Tina Turner, and so many more memorable songs by talented artists. What a great night of entertainment at such a reasonable price. We plan to go back again now that we know how great the entertainment is at the Tropic Theatre.

The Gun Shop Inc. & Gun Range

Reviewed By WnD-GrL - Orlando, United States

The Gun Shop is fantastic! The range is well kept and very safe. There are counters to keep your range bag and ammo, so no cramming everything into your shooting stall or putting it on the floor. It is a very relaxed environment here. The shop provides a great atmosphere for responsible firearm owners to practice using their firearms. There is also no time limit on your range rental. Be there all day if you want. The store is awesome! They have a wide variety of firearms and accessories to fit anyone's needs. The staff is the best. They know their stuff without pushing products to make a sales goal. Example, after looking at a pistol the owner noticed I was left handed. He suggested that I look at the HK V9 for its grip and ambidextrous magazine and slide releases. He didn't have to do that; however he picked up on jt needs and made a suggestion to help improve my overall firearm experience. A few months later I ended up buying that HK. Bottom line, don't hesitate to do business here. Great people, wonderful atmosphere, and a safe place to practice!

Enjoyed hours of stimulation and excitement here and most def coming back for more fun....soon. We began our stimulating adventure with the Adrenaline Rush k-carts. What a blast! Team member Dante walked us through a brief introduction to our soon-to-be wild ride, anticipating our excitement with a thorough explanation. We next met up with Emily who reviewed safety and driver rules, assigning our karts and we were off to the races! Truly a rush!! Next was the Bowling - spacious, clean lanes, comfortable seating area and room for everyone of all ages and abilities. Perfect in every way. The Sports Bar offered open seating where the action of the arcade provided non-stop entertainment as well as monitors to view, and with a full dining menu. The gaming arcade was massive, but not only was I pretty exhausted by this time, I was also overstimulated so I gave it a rest...for this visit. Plan to add a few games to my next experience. I understand Laser Tag is to be introduced soon as well as an Escape Room! I know where I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the very near future. Check it out!

My family and I absolutely LOVE the new seating and how the chairs recline back. My husband no longer dreads going to see a movie at the Theatre.
