There are lots of activities geared toward kids, and for adults, the flower-picking area was really the main attraction for us. Unfortunately, that part of the experience left a sour taste in my mouth. We purchased two of the flower-picking containers for a little over $26 each with tax. The containers are supposed to hold water while you pick your flowers, but both of ours leaked badly. Since the entire purpose of the container is to hold fresh-cut flowers in water, I really don't understand why containers that are known to leak are still being sold at that price. One employee was actually trying to be helpful and explained that we could swap them out another time. We weren't arguing or even making a big issue out of it. While we were speaking with her, another employee suddenly interrupted and very abruptly told us, essentially, that the leaking wasn't a problem and that we would just have to deal with it. The tone was completely unnecessary. We had not been rude, confrontational, or demanding at all. In fact, we were perfectly prepared to just make the best of it. Being spoken to that way when we hadn't even complained was really disappointing. There is also a practical issue with being told you can come back another day to exchange a defective container: would we then have to pay another admission fee just to return and replace something that was defective when it was sold to us? We paid $21 per person to enter the farm in addition to the flower-picking purchase, so this was not an inexpensive outing. I don't expect everything to be perfect, but I do expect a product designed to hold water to actually hold water and, more importantly, I expect customers to be treated respectfully when there is a problem they did not cause. Ananda Farms has a lot going for it and I can see why families enjoy it, but this particular experience really changed the way I felt about our visit. I hope management addresses both the leaking containers and the way customer concerns are handled.

There are 2 parking lots, the main one and an overflow. There's a little cafe upstairs if you want to grab a snack, a small education center for the kids, a hands-on sting ray touch tank. The boardwalk is pretty extensive and there's room for everyone to be able to view the marine life. We've seen so much: manatees, sharks, tarpon, sting rays, and many, many other fish. There's also a very nice trail behind the center that leads to an overlook tower you can climb to the top of. The center is seasonal though. They're open from November to April. I recommend going in the colder months if you want to see pods of manatees, like Dec-Feb.

The viewing area is well maintained with easy walkways and good spots to stop and watch without feeling crowded. It is calm, relaxing, and a great place to just slow down and take in nature. We were able to pet a few stingrays but not see any manatees. There are also helpful signs and information that explain the manatees and the area, which makes it even more interesting. It is a great place for families, tourists, or anyone who just wants a quiet nature break around Tampa. Overall, a super memorable and peaceful experience. Easy 5 stars and definitely worth visiting if you are in the area.
