  • 5Exceeded Expectations!

    This was a last minute trip to meet up with family in central Florida. It was my MIL and my 4 year old daughter- so I wanted to give my daughter a unique horse experience, being that we we're staying in Ocala. I looked at the tours avail for Gypsy Gold and did not see the shorter walking tour that would have been better for my daughter. I called and spoke with Erin (sp?). She was wonderful! Worked with us to join the longer morning tour ( after the history portion) so that we could get the walking tour portion since the afternoon tour was not avail on our specific date. My expectations were exceeded from that moment on. We arrived and it was a seamless transition into the tour- she was so kind and patient, although my daughter was not on her best behavior! We learned so much and although we did several other things while in the area ( including swimming at springs), this was BY FAR the favorite by all. I cannot thank Erin and the Gypsy Gold Farm enough for their hospitality and flexibility. The experience was truly second to none!

  • 5Gypsy Gold Horse Farm - A Must Do!

    Wow, I was so glad we found this place while surfing for things to do in Ocala! We have lived in the Sunshine State for 10 years and have never heard about it. Dennis and Erin were wonderful hosts and shared so much interesting information, and the horses are stunning!

  • 5Amazing Unique Experience

    This is a truly unique experience. A beautiful setting with sprawling oak trees and rolling pastures; the atmosphere was something out of a fairy tale. The horses are just amazing. We learned so much on our tour about these wonderful horses. We even got to see some very young colts. I would highly recommend anyone going here to interact with and learn about these horses.

  • 5A must see when in Ocala

    We were very impressed with the two hours spent touring Dennis’s farm. The grounds are so well maintained and lovely, the horses beautiful and the history of and reason for Dennis’ passion engaging. We left with a new appreciation, not only for the breed of horse, but the Gypsy culture in which Dennis has so immersed his life and shares with others.

The city's fame rests on its theme parks. Walt Disney World spreads across four parks southwest of town, from the Magic Kingdom's fairy-tale castle to Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Universal Orlando adds movie-themed thrill rides and immersive themed lands, and SeaWorld and a string of water parks complete the circuit.
