Fruit picking

It also features a petting zoo and is located only minutes from one of the main entrances to Everglades National Park as well as an alligator farm.
Do Fruit and Spice Park
This park features a vast assortment of fruits, spices, and other foods of interest that can be grown in Florida's subtropical climate.
