Somewhat disappointed

I was expecting an in-depth tour of citrus groves and the process of growing and selling fruit. The grove part of the tour was minimal and disappointing. Most of the tour was the wildlife refuge - this was interesting and well done.

Fun Tour

Worth the visit. Took the tram tour which was interesting, especially the wildlife sanctuary animals. There was a food tasting that day, so we sampled plenty of different items. The fudge is really good and so is the wine. A nice place to spend a...More

My Grandchildren came for a visit ages 3 and 5. Took them on the tour around Mixon farm on the rail cars. They loved it. Lots of information about rescued animals and even were able to touch some of them. I would highly recommend this...More

Unique and Interesting

A group from our church visited this past Monday for a tour of the farm and lunch in their private dining room. While we did learn about the fruit grown there, what made it most interesting was learning about the bamboo they will be distributing...More

Over rated.

We were overall very disappointed with this place. It is good for seeing the rescued animals, but that is about it. The wildlife guy was very friendly and had a baby alligator for the kids to hold. Our tour guide was really nice and friendly,...More

Nice tour

We enjoyed the tram tour through the fruit trees. My kiddos loved the animals & we thought the gentleman who talked about them was very informative & could tell he really cared for those animals. We tried the orange ice cream too!

Thank you so much for posting your five star review! We love seeing the smiles on the kiddos faces when Damon begins the animals out for a better look. Thank you again for posting and hope you all can return again soon!

We are going to be visiting in the area next month and I really want to see the wildlife refuge at Mixon Fruit Farms. As a supporter of Wildlife, Inc., I want to see how they are caring for the animals. One thing that distresses me terribly is seeing animals in captivity for profit, and animals that are not property cared for. What I'd like to know is if care is taken to prevent stress on the animals in rehabilitation, and if the stories of the lives of the animals who are in captivity indicate that they absolutely cannot be rehabbed and returned to the wild. Thank you.
