Florida strawberry festival — Attraction in Plant City

Attending the Florida Strawberry Festival on Special Needs Day was a truly memorable experience. The organizers went above and beyond to create an inclusive, comfortable, and joyful atmosphere for individuals with special needs and their families.

From the moment we arrived, the staff and volunteers demonstrated warmth and attentiveness, ensuring that everyone felt welcome.

Park by tamale factory. 2006 W Reynolds St. we were in and out in 5 mins. And buy your tickets at Publix for $10 And make sure you try to arrive early. We got there by 9am to park and there were people there just like us. There was a line to check in your online/printed tickets. But we got in line at exactly 10am so there was no wait for us. But we did see people waiting one hour before they even open we just waited in our cars. Also bring cash. And sunscreen. I forgot mine and it was hot today so we had to leave early. But it was fun I recommend the strawberry shortcake. And be sure to watch the animals. We will be back next year for the concerts. Also the strawberry shortcake was $6. Dasani water $4. And for parking we paid $10. And pizza was $8 a slice. Make sure to double check where you park it can get very crowded as your heading out we had to use the map but we figured it out and found...

$185 for 5 kids for arm bands on top of $76 entrance. The 11 year old was too tall to ride the one and only ride that looked appealing to her. It was the green course that has a bridge. Then all the kids wanted to ride the big ferris wheel. Separate charge above the armband. All other rides were geared for 6 year olds. If I’m gonna waste money then others need to know the best way to do it. No rides were ridden this day. Two French fries and 3 chicken strips = $21. $40 for 4 shakes. $20 for pieces of ribs. The only great experience was the Colossal onion from Alessi’s. Oh, and parking was all private lots. The one we pulled into was $30. In all it was over $375 for this single trip not counting 3/4 tank of gas. In summation: Yes, kids are expensive but where are the rides? What’s the armbands for? Could’ve saved $185. Was expecting to pay parking. Expecting to pay high...
