Blueberry Hill Farm

Reviewed By 704mikep - Orlando, United States

What a great opportunity to get some time outside with friends doing something relaxing and delicious. The staff are very friendly, prices are great, but most importantly there are excellent blueberries and a lot of them. Everything is set up so that it is easy to move around without being on top of other people. Definitely a full-filling tradition to make with kids.

We took our two kids to LunaSea today while taking a break from the theme parks. While one of our girls quickly engaged with animals the other was more reticent. The owners of this farm quickly engaged with our kids and turned the experience into one they will remember for many years to come. While on the farm, kids learned about the history of Alpacas coming to the US, genetics of breeding, how to endgame and feed animals while personally engaging with an array of animals spanning all ages.

The Howey Mansion

The historic Howey Mansion is an architectural gem. Tours are offered daily and can be booked as a wedding and events venue. The brothers who restored it are locals and have a passion for sharing it with the public.

One midweek morning, our large travel group arrived by motor coach to tour the newly restored Howey Mansion. The mansion was completed in 1927 for the Howey family. It was occupied until 2008 and then left abandoned for close to 10 years. As you enter the mansion, be sure to admire the grandeur of the Grand Staircase. Because of our group’s size, we could not take the entire Historian-Led Tour all together. Instead, our quite knowledgeable guide, Myra, gave our private tour group a detailed introduction beforehand as we gathered in the Ballroom. This room was originally the formal living room of the Howey family. From there she led us out to the charming courtyard where she gave us some interesting information about the original pond and statue of the siren. What was once a 3-car garage beyond the courtyard, Myra said, has now been turned into a kitchen used for catered events. Upstairs, the staff sleeping quarters is now used for short term rentals. We were then handed a detailed floor plan and we were able to spend the rest of our time at our own pace exploring the various levels and rooms inside the mansion. The floor plan certainly contained enough information about each room of the mansion. Although the furnishings are not original, they are correct to the period. After exploring the downstairs Dining Room, Kitchen and Butler’s Pantry, I viewed the Library, the several bedrooms, including the two bedrooms belonging to the daughters, Mrs. Howey’s Bedroom & the Master Suite, plus the Parlor Room and the terraces. Be sure to notice the tall ladder in the Turret Room which gives access to the roof for views of the area. You cannot climb the ladder, though. As I stepped out from the Parlor Room to the Terrace and could almost imagine the Howey family sitting here enjoying the sunshine. Before joining back up with our historian, I took the time to carefully tread down to the Prohibition Basement. Be aware that there are no handrails so proceed with caution. We then had plenty of time for Myra to answer all our questions. Our group combined this tour with lunch at the Mission Inn and a visit to both the Yalaha Bakery and the next door Distillery. A Mansion Tour runs $20. Be aware that there are no elevators and stairs are needed to reach the upper floors. The mansion is well worth a visit.

Stanley Pond Adventure Farm

Reviewed By luciisgodsgirl - Lake Wales, United States

We took my six year old great nephew here for his birthday adventure. It was our first visit and we had a blast. There's so much for young children to do - a tall slide, trike racing, bean bag toss, pumpkin bowling, bouncing on a gigantic pillow, fishing and so much more. My nephew's favorites were the ride through the "cow wash" in a barrel cow (really cute & fun) and the ride on the antique fire truck out to visit & feed miniature horses. The staff was friendly, helpful and the farm was so much fun. Highly recommend!
