Wing Chun Kung Fu Downtown Lakeland

Reviewed By P-Khol77

Sifu Och is one of the most honest, wise, fair and loving of individuals I know. His training, combined with his ethics are a rarity. His techniques are near perfect yet, he continues his own personal growth. I am honored to be part of this family. I have NO doubt that my growth in Wing Chun (and as a person) has been and will continue to be exponential under his teachings.

Thank you for showing us a great time. Amanda, our tour guide was friendly and a wealth of information about the property, the wildlife and their care — which was evident as we got up close and personal to the different herds. Amanda made sure we got great photo opportunities as we were able to feed a great variety of animals. The personal time with the lemurs and coatis was really fun as they climbed all over us looking for their next treat. Well worth the admission price! We will be back with friends and family. One of the best tours in Florida and privately owned and operated. Admission price helps to take care of the animals. Will come again in a heartbeat.

Circle B Bar Reserve

Reviewed By zippyincolumbus

We visited Circle B Bar Reserve on a Sunday right as the busy March tourist season is getting underway. We arrived at 9 am which was good timing- we got a great spot in lot by visitor center (which was closed- maybe because it was Sunday?). By 11:30 the parking lot and trails were very full. It was also a cold morning, so it was good timing for seeing gators, since they don’t like cold or wind much. It was getting warmer out by the time we arrived. We did miss the bobcats though- sounds like you may need to come early to see them. We had a great time and saw all kinds of wildlife- gators (close up and out in the water) bald eagles, osprey (one eating a fish in a tree), ducks, turtles, sand cranes, red shouldered hawks, and way more birds than I can name. The gators do sometimes lay by the path and cross or block the path, so you do want to be on your toes and don’t do anything dumb. Leave them alone and be kind and they will do the same. This was our first visit and we were lucky enough to run into a local who was more than willing to tell us and even show us most of the ropes. We did alligator alley and the marsh trail. Absolutely loved our time! If you love nature or are just looking for an interesting place to walk, don’t miss this FREE stop. We had two 40 somethings who walked 5 miles and two 60 somethings who walked 2.5 miles- we both saw a lot of wildlife!

There’s not enough good things to say about this escape room location! They are locally, family run and they create all of their rooms from scratch and their own design, hand building them. Now that’s impressive. And they are so creative and fun, you just want to keep coming back for more! One of my best friends even worked there for a summer as a game master and she absolutely loved it and always mentioned how lovely the owners were and everything so yeah. Not only do you get the pure enjoyment and thrill of playing an escape room here, but you’re supporting a business run by hard-working, decent people. Super great!!

Joker Marchant Stadium

Reviewed By ricksI3142GH - Belleville, United States

We were on vacation from southeast Michigan and wanted to see the improvements to the stadium and see a game. I ordered tickets day of the game and got great seats behind home plate. The stadium looks fantastic, the BEST in Florida. Parking was free....amazing! It happened to be "dollar dog" night and a large souvenir cup of soda for $5.00 and $2.00 refills, the best value of any ball park I have visited. The staff are the friendliest, can't wait to go back!!! THANK YOU!

Frank Lloyd Wright at Florida Southern College

Daily tours available highlighting this truly unique collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture at Florida Southern College.

Reviewed By Roamingbears - St. Petersburg, United States

Unexpectedly fabulous campus hidden in Central Florida with numerous gems of FLW architecture including one building built a few years ago using his plans. Great tour (we got multiple discounts by reserving tour space online and by being old people) conducted by a knowledgeable docent. Disappointed that the main chapel was closed for renovations to be completed at the end of June but it is open to the public without a tour so we can catch that next time in Lakeland. We chose the basic tour which covers lots of ground, literally, so be prepared!
