A 2,500-acre citrus estate
Showcase of Citrus is a working family estate in Clermont, about 30 minutes from Orlando — 2,500 acres of groves, pastures, and swampland, open every day of the year. It started as a citrus farm; the monster trucks came later.
The world's largest monster truck safari
The headline act: an hour-long ride in a giant 4x4 converted school-bus truck, climbing and splashing through groves, pasture, and swamp. VISIT FLORIDA's official film calls it one of Central Florida's quirkiest family rides, and the practical note from the full tour on this page is to arrive 30 minutes before your truck tour.
The rest of the day
- U-pick citrus — walk the groves and pick fresh Florida citrus off the tree in season, the estate's original draw
- Gem mining — sluice for gems and fossils at the mining trough
- Farm animals and the old-time country store — the slow half of the visit
Who it's for
Families who want Old Florida with a ridiculous truck on top — it's the Clermont countryside, not a theme park, and that's the appeal.
