“This place is a hidden gem. I've lived nearby my entire life but had never heard about it until now. Why??We went on a discount day, but this place is definitely worth full price. They have a lot of the typical farm animals, and sell feed for the goats, but they have probably close to 30 "exotic" animals. They have a zorse (zebra/horse hybrid), white peacocks, kangaroos, capybara, cavy, several different primates, wolves, foxes, parrots, a coatimundi (which I got to touch! ), antelope, deer, and more things I can't remember the names of.The other great thing is they have like 3 different playground areas. There is also a little zip line, tire swing, and big "sandboxes" of dried corn. There is also a decent amount of shade.They also have a mini village thing the kids can climb in, and pony rides for $5. They take the kids around the circuit 3 times.My little ones definitely enjoyed this and we will go again.”
“I recently had the chance to work with Help Us Gather (HUG), and I was really impressed at the amazing work they do for the community! HUG is an amazing organization that focuses on bringing people with disabilities together and making sure everyone feels included.
The team at HUG is fantastic. They really care about the people they serve and always go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and supported. HUG offers a lot of great events that are fun and inclusive for everyone and you can tell that a lot of thought goes into making sure all participants have a good time. It's wonderful to see how happy and confident people are when they get involved with HUG.
I highly recommend Help Us Gather to anyone looking to support a great cause!”

Enough variety to keep me coming back, and vary my fitness routine, for a well-balanced workout habit. I especially like that there is an excellent massage therapist available at this location, at a reasonable price. The gym itself is clean and pleasant, and well equipped.”

41 N Fort Harrison Ave, Clearwater“I went to an informative seminar on Marijuana here yesterday. As a nurse, I want to know more about this, since it seems to be more prevalent in my community. The speaker showed results of studies done, especially with children /teens that was so frightening, And, interestingly enough, she informed us of the main source of funding for medical marijuana in Florida and who's spending millions to get the next step on the ballot. It's mostly only one entity! I've worked in Drug Rehab for 5 years and have seen the effects created by drugs on teens and adults. Marijuana is NOT free from harmful effects. I encourage everyone to inform yourself of the recent studies and the dangers of marijuana for us in rearing new generations and living happily as adults. This center can provide you this information.”
