We had a great time on this trip. That being said, there wasn’t enough time to enjoy everything and we were not able to go to all stops. The first stop was great. We did the tour and it ended up being 1.5 hours. Tours only ran hourly and didn’t begin till 11 and end at 3. This took up a huge part of our day and impacted how much time we had to enjoy later on- ie final stop closed at 5. It might be more beneficial to work backwards than how the trip is set up. That being said, we are a family of 5 with 2 pre teens and a teen and everyone enjoyed themselves.
We're so glad that you and your family enjoyed this trip! The tour on stop #1 is certainly worth doing, but yes it will affect the timing for the rest of hte day. Hopefully you can save some spots that you weren't able to visit for a future day trip! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!

This was such a fun experience. I love adventuring but HATE planning; this was the perfect fit for me! Each location was new and the itinerary had so options for everyone but because it was just me I went a little more on the mellow side. I also love the fact that I could do this roadtrip again and see completely new things! There was one location that was closed even though it said it should be open but there was something close by I could choose very easily!! Loved this so much!!!
We LOVE this so much! So glad you enjoyed your road trip, and we love that our road trips can be done again and again with many different options to choose from. :) We will look into the hours for the locations on this trip and ensure everything is updated properly; thanks for letting us know!

My wife and I attempted to visit all the places in the pack, but ran outta time! Start early, and remember to stop for food and coffee. It is about the journey, and this pack provides an excellent variety of stops. Being from Central Florida and now living in N.E. Florida; West Florida was foreign. This adventure pack nullified that feeling. So many of these places felt like a different state, and learning Florida has more than just Gray Squirrels and palm trees was mind-opening. We HIGHLY recommended this trip!

I had a lot of fun on this trip. Took it solo. Loved one of the eateries at the first stop. Wish I lived closer! Had some history, some unexpected places, and just laid back and chill places. One of my faves so far!
