Things To Do

World Equestrian Center - Ocala

World Equestrian Center – Ocala is located in the heart of central Florida’s horse country. The largest equestrian complex in the United States is a world-class, multi-indoor and outdoor arena facility offering diverse lodging options, and state-of-the-art amenities to accommodate numerous disciplines within the equine industry and more! Emily suggests stopping by Emma's Patisserie in the Equestrian Hotel for a DELICIOUS iced vanilla latte. While you're sipping your pick-me-up treat, take the little ones for a lap around the toy store next door; they will be amazed!

The Gathering Cafe Downtown Ocala

Ryan and Emily had one of their most memorable work-from-home dates here and they can't stop talking about it - even to this day! It is a faith based coffee shop with allergen friendly food and drink options! This homey spot has plentiful seating on two levels and lots of parking out back!

Rainbow Springs State Park

Need to cool off? Jump on the inner tubes of Rainbow River and float around with otters, manatees, and (maybe, but not likely) a gator or two! $5 entry fee per car, or $4 for single occupancy vehicles.
