  • The Citrus Attraction at Boyett’s Grove

    It all started because Liam wanted to go mini golfing. I hoped on Groupon and found not only Mini golf, but a Petting Zoo, Ice Cream, Antique Shoppe, and Citrus Store, and Dinosaur cave all in one! The price was good too, the Groupon is $49.95 for 6 people for all the stuff, Perfect price, done!

    The reviews were interesting, something like “I’ve never seen anything like it!” Or “Your eyes won’t know where to look first” They we’re all very intriguing and positive!

    The art work is nothing we’ve ever seen before, with 3D glasses the paint pops off the wall.

    There is an entire section of taxidermy animals that the boys found fascinating. The nice part was we had the place to ourselves, and we didn’t really have anyone hovering saying don’t touch that or anything. You are free to roam as you please.

    The kids fell in love with a few of the animals, this camel is a sweet heart and followed us all over eating almost an entire loaf of bread.

    They also have this cool dinosaur cave exhibit that we all enjoyed

    It was fun to see such a variety of animals and all the cages and habitats looked clean and well cared for! Off the top of my head I remember zebras, monkey, goats, alligator, guinea pigs, mini horse, donkey, llamas, alpacas, tortoise, and big birds like emu.

    I didn’t get a shot of the mini golf, but it’s inside and covered which is great from the heat and sun, but the building where it is ended up being too dusty for my allergies and really bothered me. The kids loved the course, it was challenging but still fun!
