Looking for advice for first trip to Fruit and Spice Park, South FL

[Bishop]

As the title states will be making my first trip to the park next week with the family, was wondering if people have any advice for a first goer?
Also are there any nurseries nearby with rare/exotic fruit trees for sale, not run of mill stuff?
Any can’t miss stops I should make in the area? (Tree/Fruit/Veg...)
 
Thank you in advance

I appreciate the link, I had read it previously. I was hoping for some insights with experience, as I can’t make this trip again for a long time and will only have the one day there.

Hi Bishop i was there on weekend of june 29 and 30th ..lots of mangoes at the time.
Go there as soon as it opens at 9am ..it's a little cooler...also first dibs on dropped fruit from overnight ( specifically mangoes)
Bring a small towel for sweat and cleaning up
Bring a couple of plastic bags to hold fruit while you walk
Bring a small knife to cut fruit
Find a shady spot to enjoy fruit
Bring a black magic marker to write down name of fruit/fruits
Take a picture of fruit w/ name and cut up
Eat fruit
Make a note of what you favor so you will have a record for next time you visit or buy a tree of your favorite
Lastly.... Enjoy!!

Ty kindly, did you happen to stop anywhere else in the area, that was worth it?
