For families of all sizes and ages, a new must-visit destination has opened in Tampa Bay just in time for the holidays. Ananda Farm, located at 579 Ken Hubbard Road in Terra Ceia, celebrated its grand opening last week, unveiling an array of attractions, activities, food and drink, and holiday fun.
Ananda Farm, originally founded as a community farm, has transformed into an immersive family-friendly adventure park. Just a short drive over The Skyway, it offers interactive activities, games, and delicious food and drink, creating an ideal day trip for Tampa Bay residents and visitors alike.
Guests can spend endless days running, jumping, and playing across attractions like the towering Dragon Fruit Lair Tree House, the Passion Fruit Jumping Pads, and Peter’s Pelican Playground. Kids will love additional features, including a hay castle, tug-of-war station, giant bubbles, and the popular Coconut Circuit Trike Track. Family photo ops are plentiful, with spots like the pumpkin patch, couch swing, rainbow wall, and chandelier bench.
Eat farm-fresh, chef-prepared meals
Adding to the excitement, Ananda Farm is celebrating the holidays with the ‘Savor The Season’ Holiday Festival through December 15. More than 15 attractions are decked out in festive decor, and holiday-themed live entertainment and special events fill the grounds with seasonal cheer.
However, this new wonderland isn’t just for the kids. In addition to the great photo ops, Ananda Farm is a must-visit just for the food and drink. Craft imbibers will love to sip on local brews at The Nest Rooftop Beer Garden while taking in stunning views, or savor incredible wine at Kristy’s Wine Bar, and coffee flights with fresh donuts at The Flour Shop.
And, of course, guests won’t want to miss the incredible farm-to-table dining. It’s the rare occasion where the table and the farm are on the same ground, providing a level of freshness that legitimately can’t be beat. Chef Nicole partners with local farmers, fishermen, and businesses to create a diverse menu that reflects both creativity and sustainability.
As part of the constantly rotating menu, guests can enjoy seasonal dishes, artisan pizzas, baked brie, and other unique bites that highlight local ingredients. The cocktails at lunch or dinner are also unmissable. Each drink is intentionally crafted with its own unique story, combined with vibrant flavors sourced from trusted local partners.
Perfect holiday fun
During the Savor The Season Holiday Festival, guests can enjoy special food and beverage offerings in celebration of the festive season.
Be sure to visit the Exotic Fruit Farm, where you can learn about the journey from seed to harvest with offerings like Dragon Fruit and Miracle Fruit.
Ananda Farm is open Thursdays from 3-8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Day tickets, holiday season passes, group rates, and field trip specials are available. Learn more and schedule your visit at anandafarm.com.
