We went today and while it was the off season we managed to have an enjoyable time. The tram ride around the grove cost $11each but we really enjoyed the time spent with the wildlife rescue portion. The juice was good, the ice cream was enjoyable, and there were lots of things to examine in the gift shop. I appreciated... More

I decided not to take the tour because, frankly, my son and I weren't that interested. But we did try their orange juice and vanilla/orange twist ice cream. As for the juice I thought it was top rate. Too many people are used to the recycled pulp you get at the grocery store but this was absolutely phenomenal. As for... More

Interesting 20 min stop to tour the Mixon packing house and get a free cup of OJ or Grapefruit juice. Big gift shop with ice cream and large selection of fresh, just picked, citris fruits. While they also have a trolley ride through the orchards it was sold out so we could not go. That was the 11:00 tram, and... More

I have been coming here for 20 years whenever we vacation, I cannot believe some of the poor reviews! Our entire extended family loves this place, and we visited this past June for my own kids 2nd trip (7,5,1 yrs). It's great tradition and while we usually visit during orange season, we still enjoyed the orange juice and ice cream... More

I was looking for a fruit farm. Mixon is a multi level operation. Tram tours into the orchards and lots of shopping. Fudge, wine, souvenirs, ice cream and yes they do have citrus and citrus juice for sale.

We visited this “farm” on a Wednesday afternoon in January in hopes of finding cheap, fresh, grown on the farm citrus, and grabbing a tasty bite to eat at their café. Unfortunately we were disappointed on both accounts. Unlike what the web site states, there were no samples of the “many varieties of seasonal citrus”. They did have juice samples.... More

This is an orange grove.The orange juice and fudge are unbelievable. The ice cream swirl is terrific. Vanilla ice cream with oj .Yum. The grove is small but the juice is the best. If you want to know how many oranges are in gallon of juice. Just ask. The guides are great.

My family and I (kids 3, 5, 7, 9 12, 15) and nana, visited Mixon’s in December. We all had a wonderful time on the tram tour. The tram driver Damon was so knowledgeable with the citrus grove and the animals. There was a school group on the tour with us that day and I was very impressed how he... More

We stopped at Mixon on the way to Marco Island with the Kids. Upon entering we were greeted by Ann who was very personable and offered us the free drink samples. The juices were very goog but the grapefruit juice was awesome (see the youtube video)! The kids quickly found the free popcorn sample and the fruit samples as well.... More

My wife and I did the tour in Dec 2011 and we really enjoyed it. Mind you, your not going through miles of orchards...just a small section of the property where you see the different varities of citrus trees. In fact, most of their growing is done off the property. The tour focused mainly on the wildlife rescue that the... More
