Plenty of ways to spend money but there's no admission fee and you don't feel like you're constantly being hassled, there's a lot that can be done for free including seeing the animals, a menagerie of Americana -- like a bunch of old tractors and statues of things like Bob's Big Boy -- and playing in the largest sandbox I've ever seen. We did try the Key Lime pie which was tasty. And pick your own fruits would be great but I guess that's a winter thing.

4/5 - A Fun Family Outing with Plenty to Do, but Some Room for Improvement!…read more Showcase of Citrus is such a fun place to spend the day with family! One of the biggest perks is that general admission is completely FREE, although several activities and experiences come with additional fees. Overall, we had a great time, but there are definitely a few things worth knowing before visiting. One of the highlights is the opportunity to interact with the animals! They offer capybara encounters, including a 15-minute petting experience, which I highly recommend booking in advance because these tend to sell out quickly. You can also purchase buckets of food to feed the farm animals. My recommendation is to stick with the smallest bucket. Depending on when you visit, the animals may have already been fed quite a bit by other guests and might not be as interested in eating. The property itself has plenty of fun photo opportunities, tractors, and unique attractions that make it enjoyable to walk around and explore. Now, let's talk about the areas that need improvement: food and beverages! There was only one food shack operating during our visit, and it was completely overwhelmed. The kitchen temporarily stopped accepting orders approximately four times just to catch up. We personally waited over an hour for our food! I genuinely felt for the employees because they were clearly struggling to keep up with demand. However, the food was somewhat overpriced considering the portions, especially the small amount of fries and the barely noticeable extra onions I paid for. The drinks, on the other hand, were really good! Unfortunately, there's only one bar, and the line was incredibly long. With such a large property and so many visitors, adding another food or beverage station would make a tremendous difference. It would reduce wait times and improve the overall guest experience. They also had a seasonal "pumpkin patch," although I wouldn't necessarily consider it a traditional pumpkin patch. The pumpkins seemed overpriced, and unfortunately, quite a few were already rotting. Personally, I would skip purchasing pumpkins here. Despite these drawbacks, we genuinely enjoyed our visit! There's a great variety of activities, opportunities to interact with animals, and plenty of memorable photo spots. I also appreciate that families can visit without paying an entrance fee and choose which additional experiences fit their budget. Would I return? Absolutely! Showcase of Citrus is a fun family-friendly destination, especially if you plan ahead and book popular animal encounters early. I just hope management considers expanding its food and beverage operations to better accommodate the crowds. With a few improvements, this could easily be a five-star experience!

Florida is STILL extremely hot in late September, so definitely wear comfortable shoes because there is quite a bit of walking. Bring sunscreen and a good hat because you'll definitely need them! The handcrafted pizza was delicious, and the fresh juices were SO good! There were also some really cute spots throughout the farm that were perfect for family fall pictures. The food was a little pricey, but honestly, I thought it was worth it. It seems like we're still in the off-season, so there wasn't a huge selection of things to pick. They did have sunflowers and tasty apple cider donuts. Overall, such a fun family outing! We'll definitely be back when there's more in season to pick.

Every year, from mid-April to mid-May, the Beck Brothers farm opens itself to the public for a…read morespecial event: Blueberry picking! There are acres of blueberries growing in neat rows, and they're full of fruit. You enter the farm, park in a grassy field, grab a bucket at a table by the orchard, and head out to pick. The helpful people who give you the buckets tell you a bit about the varieties that they grow, and about the colored streamers on each row that tell you which variety is growing there. Here in Central Florida it gets hot early in the year, so the plants fruit early. What's comfy for the plants is comfy for us, so picking is usually in great weather. When you've finished picking enough, you take the bucket back to the table and pay for what you picked. By comparison, what costs you $8 at a store like Walmart costs you $6 at Beck Brothers farm. So go now, or plan for next April, and get enough blueberries to make your jam, your ice cream, your muffins and pies. Freeze the excess and you'll always be ready to eat the berries that your family and friends picked on a lovely Spring day.

A bucket at this time in 2025 is $20. We each grab a bucket and take a different row; plan for about an hour to fill it. Feel free to taste to make sure you're getting the kind you like (sweet, sour and mid sour). When paying there is other local offerings like honey (wish they came in a smaller offer)

Mix and match the citrus they have and stuff that bag to the fullest! I went and filled mine with tangerines. These were so sweet! They don't look as nice and orange like the supermarkets but it is really sweet and juicy! Environment I believe they are more known for their strawberries. But they also have citrus. Open space with enough parking, but I can see it getting packed if it was busy... Parking is on the grass and doesn't seem marked. There are buckets for the strawberries and nets for the citrus. The strawberry section is lined and you aren't walking on dirt or grass. The citrus is all grass, wear sneakers! Niceness of the staff The interactions I had with the staff were very friendly. They genuinely want you to have a good time. There was a citrus map, the trees were labeled. The staff is willing to explain the process to ensure you have a great time picking.
