About

Situated on a hilltop in the rolling countryside along Spring Lake Highway, this unique attraction began in the 1960s as a fruit stand where locals and Northerners could stop to pick up citrus fresh from the grove. Now Boyett's Grove has grown to be beloved by all. Feed animals at the wildlife park, dare yourself to enter the dinosaur cave, explore the aviary and Gulf fish aquariums, pan for “gold” at the Dino Might Gold Mine, and try your hand at Hernando County’s newest Mini Golf.

Out back, paved paths wander by homes of monkeys and wallabies, alligators and zee-donks, deer and coatamundi.There are plenty of non-native species around, too, like a 3,000 pound great white shark (which just happens to be stuffed) and African tortoise (which just happen to be real). Huge fish tanks (13,000 gallons) hold all kinds of creatures of the sea. Colorful Macaws squawk and preen. The paths are shaded by huge elephant ears, and fruit trees like loquat, guava, banana, orange and grapefruit are all along the paths and learn more about the animals.

During the citrus season (Nov-May), guests can watch fruit as it is washed, waxed, polished, sorted and packed in a style used a half-century ago. You can purchase grove fresh oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, kumquats, and more!

Let the youngsters runu off some energy while you cool off with a cone of ice cream (24 flavors to choose from)!
