World's Largest Monster Truck Safari
This is a "monster truck safari" on a large working orange orchard that they said abuts the back of the Disney properties in the Orlando area. For about an hour we were driven on the monster truck through the orange orchards and fields where cattle grazed. In one area, we were even given oranges to toss to the cattle.
Its a great day or half-day break for visitors to the Orlando area who don't want to spend all their time at theme parks. We found a good coupon in one of the free Orlando attraction guides. They also had pick-it-yourself oranges available.
