DO NOT PAY FOR THIS SCAM…read more We payed over $300 for horse rides on the beach and drove all the out to Florida from MISSOURI and when we showed up for our rides there was no one in sight. We called and emailed the owner multiple times on the day and weeks beforehand to confirm our reservation and no one answered. The voicemail box was full so we couldn't leave a message and no one returned our email. This is the worst experience I have ever had with an business.

Knox was everything an equine should be and a very good boy. I thought I knew what to expect when Know started swimming - boy was I wrong. I yelled with joy. Swimming on horseback was on my bucket list. My husband said "you have done it now". I told him it's back on my bucket list. I posted my experience on my Facebook page and two of my friends commented that they also had been swimming with Florida Beach Horses and had an amazing time too. I highly recommend Florida Beach Horses for an amazing experience.

We recently visited Kids Empire in Bradenton, and overall it was a mixed experience with both…read morepositives and drawbacks. Check-In & Pricing The check-in process is straightforward, but I highly recommend completing the waiver online before you go--it makes the entry much faster, especially when it's busy. Pricing, however, is on the steep side. Admission was the same almost $20 for my 15-month-old as for older kids, even though they barely used the equipment, including the toddler area. There are also attempts to upsell you on crane games and ride-on motorcycle machines, which adds to the feeling that the outing can get pricey fast. They sell food and drinks inside and prohibit outside food or beverages, which further pushes you toward additional purchases. Crowds & Atmosphere We visited on a Monday morning during a school holiday, and it was fairly busy. We stayed almost four hours just to feel like we were getting our money's worth. The temperature inside was surprisingly cold--uncomfortably so--and the disco room was not only freezing but also extremely loud. Cleanliness & Safety For the most part, the facility was clean. At one point a child had an accident in the play structure, and staff cleaned it up quickly--though unfortunately, our friends stepped in it before it was noticed. The bathrooms were clean early on but developed a noticeable urine smell as the day went on. In the baby area, someone had eaten Doritos in the ball pit, and my toddler kept finding orange crumbs, which was pretty gross. Safety-wise, some of the climbing structures need attention. The tower had open holes that felt unsafe, especially for smaller or less coordinated kids. Supervision & Environment Most parents seemed attentive, but a noticeable handful were either working on laptops or absorbed in their phones, leaving their kids to roam unattended. This isn't fully the facility's fault, but it does affect the overall atmosphere and safety - especially for smaller children. Food Policy The food available for purchase is mostly junk food--chips, Takis, sugary applesauce pouches, etc. Because outside food isn't allowed, we had to step outside so our kids could have healthier snacks. Unfortunately, the immediate outside area isn't in the nicest neighborhood, and there's nowhere to sit. At the very least, a bench outside would be a thoughtful addition for families trying to accommodate dietary needs or simply avoid feeding their kids junk. Overall Kids Empire offers a large, engaging indoor playground that kids enjoy, and it's reasonably clean. But the high price, upselling, cold environment, safety concerns in some structures, and restrictive food policy make it far from perfect.
