    It was a good time and a fun time if you're into rodeos. The one thing is a recommend to avoid going in the summer, it's way too hot. I found the tickets to be quite expensive for what it was though but albeit still worth it if you want to do something different and unique. Additionally, the food they sell is quite expensive so keep that in mind.

    Loved the monster truck show that that has here. I also have been here many times prior because a friend of mine competed in riding competitions. Great for field trips and the kids absolutely loved the their visit. The only downside were the restrooms. They had dead bugs l, shredded shower curtains and were half in half out of commission. Not very sanitary so I had to leave four stars.

    Rodeos are so much fun! Too bad they don't happen often in South Florida, however, when they do, I try not to miss it. The Davie pro rodeo has a great facility as the rodeo grounds are covered, they offer a wide variety of food vendors from, BBQ, burgers, sweets, ice cream and drinks. They also have activities for kids, such as petting zoo, horse rides, mechanical bull. It's a really fun family friendly activity. They usually have it 3 days straight, with Sunday being the shortest day as it is the championship. The facility is great. I highly recommend you trying a rodeo! You'll have a great time.

    I cannot believe I have never done a review here. I have been here for an antique car show and have also been three times to watch the rodeos that go on inside the arena. I have had fun every time - the rodeo is great family entertainment, enjoyed by babies right through to oaps! It is fun to see most people dressed up like cowboys and cow girls. It definitely makes you feel like you are in the Old West! There is plenty of parking, and there is always ,memorabilia to purchase, beer and drinks and they usually have food trucks and bbq food. Good clean family fun.

    Rodeos in Davie date back to the 1920's. In the 1940's, the Davie Rodeo Arena was built by Davie pioneer families along with Claude Tindall and Percy Bergeron. This is the oldest rodeo in Florida. In 1978 the rodeo grounds were almost lost to development but 178 residents rode on horseback to city hall in protest and the town council decided to save the rodeo grounds. The Davie Rodeo Association then formed to manage the events. The rodeo became part of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit. In the 1980's Ron Bergeron, son of Percy Bergeron purchased the land for the parking lot. He also paved and landscaped the entrance. Besides the rodeo, the 72,000 sq ft indoor/outdoor arena that has 5,000 seats hosts other events like concerts, monster truck shows, and craft fairs. The Animals Rights Foundation of Florida as well as other major animal welfare organizations in the US oppose the treatment of animals by the rodeo. Animals are wrestled to the ground, choked by ropes, and subjected to electric prods and and bucking straps. While I appreciate the historic nature of the rodeo I don't find torturing animals to be entertaining and would not attend a rodeo. We have successfully ended dog racing in Florida and this along with circuses need to go next. That said the arena is very nice. I attended a craft festival and green market which I enjoyed. Parking is ample as are the clean restrooms. This is a great place to attend an event as long as animals are not being harmed.

    My friends and I went to see the pro-rodeo last night. The venue had some good points and some things that could use improvement. The workers are friendly, the place is tidy, the bathrooms are clean, large and air-conditioned, and there is plenty of parking. The food and drinks were fair priced. The rodeo experience gives one a small-town country time experience, which makes you feel like you stepped outside south Florida. The venue needs some updating. There is only one small video screen, there is no electronic display of the scores of the riders, and we found it pretty hard to hear what the announcer was saying. If the event if full, there is not much room between people on the metal, uncomfortable benches. We found that the announcing of events was not clear. They would change events/competitions and not make an announcement of which event is being done. They also didn't announce the winners, so one had to remember the scores of each rider.

    Here for Alligator Rons Wingfest!

    This is one of the most family friendly cities in Broward County…read more They have some great parks, playgrounds, and schools. The housing is great too. There is every type from mobile home parks to multi million dollar estates. It is not unusual to see people riding their horses on the side of the main streets and some of the city still has a "down-home country" feel.

    Davie was founded by Tamara Toussaint and Jake Tannebaum who called the town was Zona. It was…read morecreated out of Everglades land that was mostly underwater. In 1909, developer R.P. Davie helped the then Florida Governor Napoleon Bonaparte Broward to drain the swamplands. Davie then bought 27,000 acres and built a school. The Davie Schoolhouse opened in 1918 and it is now Broward county's oldest existing school building. The people of Zona were so grateful that in 1916 they changed the name of Zona to Davie in his honor. Davie has always been known as a Western town and you can see it in the architecture of many of the buildings today. A western theme park called Pioneer City was once located across the street from Flamingo Gardens but it closed in the 1960's. Davie hasn't forgotten it's western roots however. It is after all home to the Bergeron Rodeo. Davie has come a long way since it was a piece of the Everglades. It is now home to over 103,000 residents over 35 square miles. It is the location of many colleges and technical centers including Nova Southeastern University, Florida Atlantic University, and Broward College. Points of interest in Davie is the botanical park Flamingo Gardens and the Young at Art Museum. it is said the best piece of Key Lime pie can be had at Bob Roth's New River Groves. When Davie was settled it's economy was based almost entirely on farm land and cattle. Now the agriculture and cows are disappearing. No matter how built up Davie gets you can still find the alligators of the Everglades in the town's many nature parks.

    This year was the 83rd annual Orange Blossom Festival. It is Broward County's longest running…read morefestival. The festival is rooted in Davies agricultural past. It began as a way for citrus growers to celebrate their success. Davie became known as a top citrus producer due to the warm weather, water, and rich soil. In the late 1950's the citrus industry was it's peak in Davie with more than 5,000 acres. The first festival was a picnic and fruit stands set up along the C-11 Canal. In the 1940's a rodeo was added to the festivities to recognize Davie expanding cattle industry. In the 1960's, the Davie Chamber of Commerce formalized the event into an annual celebration. In the 1970's a population growth saw many of the agricuture and cattle pastures turned into subdivsions. Although Davie is no longer a larger producer of oranges and cattle the festival has grown into a large two day event. There are more than 250 displays, a parade down Orange Drive, the Davie Pro Rodeo, arts, and crafts, music, a petting zoo, bounce houses, kids activities, and a farmers market. You can take free tours at the Old Davie School House and the Davie Women's Club sells strawberry shortcake which they have been doing in conjunction with the festival for the past 20 years. The festival now attracts thousands of people to Davie to celebrate with some old fashioned fun.

    Very limited parking, shade. There's a very small car show that is mostly street rods. Ads state…read moreyou can register your car day of event but was turned away because my car wasn't pre-registered. Thankfully I live fairly close by. Won't be back. South Florida classic car shows are lame.
