Military History Buffs should make plans to visit this regional recreation center in The Villages, Florida. This facility has what I would call real life history of the military on display on the walls and those items on display were donated by the veteran or the veterans family for display at the facility. There is so much military history to see one would have to spend all day viewing the items if they are serious about military history. Living the Life in The Villages Florida is so much fun and interesting, yall come.

A beautiful little town with a great selection of bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, bakeries, etc. Everything you could ask for as well as a great town square, complete with music every night to suit all tastes, a boardwalk, boat rides and just a wonderfully friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

My parents live in The Villages and we always look forward to visiting Brownwood when we come for a visit. The people are always friendly and easygoing. There’s a lot of cute shops with lots of variety for people shopping (clothes, trinkets, home decor, etc..) Every night from 5-9pm there is love music to enjoy. There are drinks available, too (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic).

This is the cleanest movie theater ever! No weird smells! Good concessions; popcorn, candy, icees, hot dogs too-no alcohol. Theater is in good condition. Bucket seats that lean back and have cupholder armrests but no recliner footrests. Not very many people at a 415 showing. Booster seats available for free for small kids, they are in the theater (red blocks), just pick one up if need be, would probabaly also work for some lumbar support. Nice, friendly staff Very clean restrooms. 3D movie we saw was good.

The Barnstorm theater has a wonderful sound system and great stadium seating. The seats are comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. The popcorn is fresh and delicious. Take a jacket because it can get cold like most places in The Villages.

Hubby and I came here with friends to see Peanut Butter Falcon, a delightful movie with friends. The staff was very friendly, the snacks yummy, and the seats very comfortable. It was Tuesday and we all got in for $5 per person. What a great way to spend a very rainy afternoon.
