Another three year old post is getting updated here, lol. Lucky for all, this post is almost just as new as the year it was written. There are few new things to do around Homestead...so yes this is still worth a read.
Here goes!
Comments often heard include What do you do in
Homestead? There is nothing there! and I don't want to drive to
Homestead. I only work there and last but not least Homestead is a short
stop on the way to Key West. There is nothing there but chain restaurants and
gas stations.
After
living in Homestead for two four years, there are LOTS of things to do south of Miami
Zoo. Here are some ideas!
For where to eat, see my blog post 16 Flavors in Homestead.
To learn more about any of these
places, please click on the place names.

Follow the Historic Redland Tropical Trail.
Fruit and Spice Park

Enjoy local fruit wines at Schnebly Redland's Winery in their garden
areas.
Visit the Everglades and photo shoot egrets, gators, and
the river of grass at the Tropical Everglades Visitor Association. Local photographer Jason Eldridge gets inspired here.

Angeline's caveats on this tour
she created:
Recommendation: wear bug spray
and sunblock, and have water. Casual clothing style is allowed at all stops.
This tour I created will take you from overheating to cooling off stops. Most
stops have a free experience, but allow $100 per adult for the day. Not all
stops can be incorporated in one day. Please check each link for the hours they
are open to the public. Food recommendations will be created in a different blog
post. This tour ends with a visit at the Homestead Community Center,
where you can cool off and get an art experience!
