What to do and see in Clermont, Florida (FL): The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

July 8, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

Clermont is a small city in Florida, west of Orlando. Clermont, which is known as the “gem of the hills,” is surrounded by gently sloping hills in an otherwise flat state. The historic downtown has not changes much in 50 years. Clermont is also home to one of the first constructed landmarks in Florida: the Citrus Tower. When you are settled into Clermont, plan a visit the Citrus Tower. It was built in 1956 on one of the highest hills in the area and serves as a monument to Florida’s citrus industry. It stands 226 feet high and has a glass-enclosed observation deck at the top. You can also visit the Showcase of Citrus to pick your own oranges or take an eco-tour in a giant swamp buggy and enjoy a glimpse into Florida’s past. The entire family will enjoy a perfect day in the citrus groves. When visiting Clermont, be sure to visit Revolution: The Off-Road Experience. It is a unique off-road motor and sports venue perfect for families staying in vacation rentals in the area. You can ride ATVs and dune buggies, water ski, or go bass fishing. In Clermont, you can hike, bike, go boating, or drop your line in a lake and wait for the fish to bite. Play a round of golf on one of the many world-class golf courses in the area. Lakeridge Winery is Florida’s largest premium winery and offers winery tours and wine tastings seven days a week. A visit to the President’s Hall of Fame, with wax figures and White House memorabilia, is a perfect afternoon trip. A short drive away from Clermont, is Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, and the bustling city of Orlando.

Blueberry Hill Farm

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.

First time camping at Lake Louisa State Park. We had a great site with a beautiful view of Lake Dixie. Came in late Friday night to a gorgeous sunset! Electric and water hook- ups with a dump station close by. Great place to ride bikes, kayak, hike and trail ride. Loved the rolling hills and amazing views-check out Lake Louisa after you pass through the ranger station. Everyone was very accommodating. We couldn’t arrive the day we planned so I notified the ranger station- no problem, our reservation /site was secured for the next day( we had already paid in full). I will definitely be back to camp but also for day trips to hike and bike.

Southern Hill Farms

Reviewed By miumiu4all - Winter Garden, United States

This is a very popular farm. There is seasonal fruit and flower picking. There are a few rides open for the kids on weekends. The farm itself is beautiful. There is no admission cost, so it’s usually teeming with people. The farm itself is absolutely beautiful and the people who work there are very friendly and patient. The fruit we’ve purchased from the farm has been first class. This place is totally worth a visit.

Showcase of Citrus

Take a Monster Truck tour through a privately owned 2500 working Citrus and Cattle Ranch and pick citrus fresh from the tree during season (November-May). Enjoy an Old Time Country Store full of local goodies year round.

Reviewed By bill31Maine

Great event you ride through the groves in a monster school bus learning so much about different types of oranges and why they look different on the tree than in the store. The tour continues through a swamp where you might end up seeing little alligators ending with seeing long horn steers and other animals in the outback Finish with oranges to buy and even wine tasting

This trampoline park has just reopened after renovations. It is clean, the staff is attentive and keep things safe while everyone is having fun! They really interact with the kids - encouraging them, cheering, giving tips on how to best conquer the challenge in their particular area of jumping (dodge ball, obstacle course, basketball, the wall, etc).. Our family really enjoyed our time here! We will be back, whenever we are in town.
