It sits on 90 acres of the…read moretype of natural habitat that existed in this area before strip mining in the 1950's and 60's altered the ecosystem. The nature center has plenty of free parking and overflow parking for when they stage events. The center was completed in 1996 and has aquarium tanks, interactive displays, and a gift shop. I was surprised to see the array of animals on display. There were two adorable baby alligators, a charming owl helping visitors at the desk, and several snakes and turtles including a diamond back terrapin who stole my heart with his peek a boo act. The center offers educational programs for both children and adults. Restrooms are located on the outside of the building. Outside there are more than 2 miles of trails through pine flatwoods and oak and palm hammocks. Along the trail are interpretive signs, benches, and an elevated blind that hides you as you look across the prairie for wildlife. If you are lucky you may spot deer. There is also a butterfly garden, and marsh viewing blinds. On my walk I saw a black racer. By the time I blinked he was gone. I have been to many nature centers and this one is exceptional as well as the park it is in. I loved my visit and hike along the trail before tropical storm Eta set in. This is a wonderful resource to educate people about Florida's ecosystem and the plants and animals that inhabit it. It is important to note the center is closed Sundays through Tuesdays. The nature trail is open even when the center is closed.

I didn't catch her name but the woman who greeted us first was so warm & welcoming. We went for their goat yoga class and we were pleasantly surprised by a tour of the farm & getting to meet & feed some of the other animals. Manish told us all about all the animals & the farm's sustainable energy and made sure we were enjoying the pre-class tour with lots of jokes. We got to carry the goats from their pen to the yoga area and it was such a cool experience. The class was great -- a good workout with lots of entertainment from jumping baby goats. Our instructor told us about the symbolism of having a goat place all 4 hooves on your back being a gateway to releasing any tension or negativity. Even with a class of about 15 people, they made sure to give all of us plenty of opportunities for the goats to get onto our backs. Those of us who are usually a little nervous around excited animals even felt comfortable enough to play with the adorable baby goats and we were all sad to leave them. If you're looking for a calming, nature focused experience, I would definitely recommend visiting 24 Karat Ranch! It's run by such sweet people and the baby goats are adorable. They offer a bunch of other activities as well so definitely give them a try.

I've loved coming here since I was a kid, and my visit this year did not disappoint with my own…read morekids. This was the first year they really wanted to ride the rides. The first time we showed up just when the fair opened on the weekend, and parking was ample, so we didn't upgrade. When we returned on a later day after school, we upgraded the parking so we could get in right away. Either way. I finally know my way around: we entered through YesterYear village. I prefer leaving this way as well, as there is some space for kids running around and some benches in the village to chill and sit, plus a bathroom to use, before leaving. And... they had these giant hot glazed donuts that might have made its way into my hands for the ride home! On our tamer first visit, we looked at all the animals, and pet all the animals - my favorite part! Parade: short, certainly not worth 'waiting' for. The ice show: interesting. it was free. I appreciate the attempt to make a pirate themed ice show but some of the costumes fell short. People were snickering around us, which didn't help. Thank you to the awesome ice skaters! A cool spot to 'rest' in an air-conditioned indoor space on a hot day. The magic show: well my kids loved this. Silly, but they loved it so much they wanted to see the exact same show on their return visit. Pirate acrobat show: my younger kid liked it a lot, my older son could barely tolerate, but for me it was a miss (the pirate theme, especially). Acrigulture mini-fun row: this was so fun for my kids. Saddling fake horses, scooping fake poop, milking a fake cow: they thought this was golden. Fair food: we ate these giant donuts that were super reasonably priced for the amount of donut and filling we received. Note to self: no one ever finishes anything: bring ziplock bags because they complained they wanted to 'eat it later.' I let my kids get cotton candy, and some other ice cream concoction another time. They mostly ate the same kid theme of chicken tenders, fries, burgers, pizza. I mostly ate their leftovers- because they were finished by the time I could think about finding my own food. And then I added on some arepas later- so overpriced but delicious in the moment. My kids loved the kids rides. We bought the fastpasses, which were unnecessary on the kids rides, but a lifesaver when they moved to the adult rides. It's so fun for them to be able to repeat their favorite rides over and over. I did just buy tickets the first time, but the unlimited wristbands ahead of time. Note to self: splurge on purchasing the wristbands ahead of time! My kids begged to return every day. Why is the fair so long?! J/K... please extend LOL

This year, the fair is Pirate themed. Upon entering, there is an exhibition of Black Beard's ship and all its treasures. The fair for me, is all about the food and games. There was so much to choose from. Turkey legs, corn dogs, funnel cakes and fried everything. A first for me was the fried gator on a stick. It wasn't bad at all. They were lots of games and rides for everyone. Keep in mind the biggest wheel is separate from the other rides even with an unlimited ride pass. It's an additional $7 per person. We also had to join another line to get our wrist bands. The lines moved fairly fast so this wasn't a problem. Also available, was the "Yester Year" village or as some know it, the cracker settlement. There is also a petting station for the kids. Lots of ponies, llamas and goats. I even saw a few chickens running about. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean their bathrooms were. This is an automatic 5 star rating for me. The fair runs from 12pm - 10pm. This year, there is a downloadable app with all info as well as their scheduled shows. Already excited about next year!

All the staff was very kind, knowledgeable and you can truly see the love they towards the animals. It was amazing to see the donkey walking around the farm and interacting with the guests. The children were amazed by all the horses and were thrilled when they found out that they could go for a ride. The event was filled with games such as ring toss, croquet and small inflatables to jump on. We all enjoyed the arts and craft section and puppet show. There is an amazing petting section for the kids were able to interact and brush the animals. Everyone left smiling expressing what their favorite part of the day was and thankful for the experience. Definitely will be coming back again. Thanks Delmar Farm for making today rememberable.
