This is a local theater with extremely talented individuals. With the new theater under construction, one can see the possibility of the shows advancing to an even higher level, if that is possible.

I found some very desirable collectibles here! I would say this store is worth coming to again and again. We purchased a rattan glass topped table in excellent condition and took note that all the items for sale seem to be in top notch condition...if you collect knick-knacks or furniture it's worth a look around!

We spent several fun days in parks in and about Orlando, but our grandchildren said that Legoland topped everything. We really enjoyed the lego villages in the center of the park and also the many many lego animals, people, etc. Almost 40 years ago we had been to Cypress Gardens and that was one of the main reasons my husband & I wanted to go to Legoland, because we heard that you can still see some of the old Cypress Gardens that had been closed for years. We were impressed at how well the garden part was kept, not quite as nice as long ago, but we thought it looked taken care of and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing it again. We also really enjoyed the pirate show, especially becuase it was similar to the Cypress Gardens water ski show we saw many years ago, with of course a pirate twist. We actually watched it twice.

Auburndale Speedway

Reviewed By GaryandDenise2013

Auburndale Speedway is a great hometown race track with everything that you need to provide good fun and entertainment for local race fans. There is good food available for sale at reasonable prices and the parking is free. Can't beat that for sure!! The grandstand seating is good and because the track is fairly small you can see all of the action all around the track which makes the racing so much fun for the fans. There is FAMILY SECTiON in the grandstands where alcohol is not allowed so that is great if you are bringing you children with you to the races and don't want them to be around those who are consuming alcohol. There are special amenities offered like selling ear plugs and programs with the race events for a very small charge which make your experience even better. The people who work at the track are friendly and helpful. If you need to leave to go back out to your parked car, you can get a hand stamp and then re-enter without any hassles at all. This little race track is a great place for racing fans to head out to for a fun-filled time of revved-up motors, squealing tires, and green flags dropping. Let's go short track racing at the Auburndale Speedway and have some great fun!!!

The park is just a short walk from the roadway and the water. A friend and I had a picnic lunch in an area of the park that overlooked the wetlands. We purchased our lunch from one of several unique waterfront grills that are within walking distance to the park. The park is scenic and provides a getaway from busy life. We joined other hikers on the paved paths, which were lined with colorful, tropical foliage. The park is well maintained with clean restrooms and interesting landscape designs. As northern tourists, we enjoyed the antics of two gators a safe distance away in a fenced-in area. We were well protected as we were on a wooden bridge above them and appreciated "gator info" from a few native Floridians standing close by. A great place for all ages of the family to enjoy!
