Amazing place constructed of Recycled materials. A great place to explore, your eyes are always finding something new! Pizza & calzone (our favorite) are delicious. They make their own soda & have lots of local beers on tap. Be sure to have a meal in the Scooby Doo bus! Great place for kids, they have outside toys so no chasing kids while you eat.

Affectionately known as “The Swamp.”
Home to the Florida Gators football team. It is open to the public most days until 4pm. But check their website to make sure it’s not closed for game maintenance.
It’s a great place to run stadiums or just take to take it in. It’s definitely a sight to see. The energy is so palatable!
