Florida's Natural Grove House Visitor Center — Attraction in Lake Wales

While this place is quintessential and was completely empty of patrons when we arrived, there was no "tour" as advertisements suggested. There was a brief video in a really neat theater about who they were and what they did. A few displayes with button activated monologues. The center appeared to have a small grove of trees, ranging in maturity. Despit asking about a tour, no one even made an attempt to walk us arounds the grounds to show us their process.

A very unique experience! You can walk through the "museum" part to learn about the orange growing processand even watch a movie about orange growing and history.

Juice and lemonade for sale in different flavors and options including cans making it easier to transport. Quite a variety of different orange trees growing outside. Do not pick the oranges! Plenty of parking for even bigger vehicles...
