Patrick…read morewas patient, very thorough, and took meticulous attention to safety conditions, but maximum yield on our findings! The perfect combo for locating the good stuff. Patrick took the extra time to really make it fun for our two 7-year old boys also, which made the day even more rewarding watching the excitement and wonder in the kids. But honestly the excitement and wonder was not lost on any of us adults either. We found SO many awesome teeth! One of our crew lost his carrying box with all his fossils and Patrick spent the last part of our trip swimming the river trying to find it for him. We didn't find it, but Patrick gave him all of his fossils he spent all day finding. It wasn't a drop in the bucket either, I'm talking pieces I've never held in my hand before. I mean, come on, we couldn't ask for a more considerate and attentive guide who actually felt more like a friend from the start. Thank you Patrick for everything!

He made sure we all understood what to do and guided us through the process without being overbearing. We were able to take in the gorgeous sites and just enjoy our time without having to worry about a thing! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the communication leading up to this event was a little rough. We had to reschedule a few times, due to storms and a couple in our party getting sick, and texts/calls were not answered in a timely manner. There was also some confusion about where to meet and what time and such. However, that did not derail the actual experience, which was lovely. I would recommend, just be aware that your communication attempts may go unanswered for a while.

Downtown City Park was created as a town square with the businesses of…read more Auburndale downtown built around it. The charming downtown area contains many restaurants and shops in historic buildings. Today the park still serves as a gathering place for the community. In 2007, Downtown City Park was redesigned to enhance its recreation and beauty for residents and visitors to the city of Auburndale. In the eastern corner of the park is a number of umbrella shaded picnic tables and an engaging playground that is fenced in for safety. The playground area has an artificial turf, cushioning surface to protect little knees and bottoms. The playground has a multilevel tower with climbing structures and two slides. There is also a play train which is a nod to Auburndale's history as a railroad town. Civil engineer Louis Randolph Mclain, who was working for the railroad on the extension of the system between Lake Alfred and Saddle Creek, is credited with founding Auburndale. The historic 1927 Seaboard Air Line Rail Depot is in the northern part of the park. The park also has restrooms and a historic bandstand with a stage for community events like the annual CityFest music festival and other events throughout the year. In the western part of the park is the Rotary Butterfly Garden with butterfly attracting native Florida plants. This well maintained and family friendly park offers a great place to spend time with family. Whether coming for exercise, play, or a special event, this wonderful spot capture the spirit of historic Auburndale.

They wanted to rock climb but was told multiple times staff was going on break and that they were short staffed so they closed things randomly. As a parent, it was overstimulating.

This is a fun, indoor place to bring the kids to work off a little energy…read more They have a 2 hour pass, but it always starts on the hour, so get there as close to the hour as you can if you think you need all that time (our kids were tired/bored within 1.5 hours). The kids were age 8-15. Even the 14 and 15 year old boys had fun for an hour. The youngest was tired after an hour. The ones in between probably could have used the whole 2 hours. They have a trampoline park that is divided into different sections, including a basketball area and a dodgeball area, and various obstacle courses. They also have ropes courses and a climbing wall. The kids were very active running from area to area. We were there on a Friday afternoon, and the place was pretty empty. There was plenty of parking outside, and the place seemed pretty clean. There is a snack bar that includes alcoholic beverages (all day mimosas for $3!). It wasn't outrageously priced, which was nice. Staff was friendly.

What I failed to realize when making our appointment online was that we chose the hardest room according to the staff. This room was HARD! We literally would have never figured it out if they didn't give us clues along the way! We did not escape in time but at the end they showed us what the next steps would have been and there's no way we would've finished. We had so much fun! We decided to try an easier one called abracadabra afterwards and that one we got with 30 seconds to spare. They did give us a couple of clues but it was a lot of fun, too. Just my husband and I went. If you do go for a date night, I would recommend one of the 20 minute rooms or both. If you aren't sure, call them or just ask when you get there. After we finished they'd said they recommend the shipwrecked room for several people. Overall we had a great time! They even give you a coupon for your next room after you finish.
