I just wanted to give a shout out to AAA Lake Sumter Landing! I needed information about renewing passports! They were able to answer my questions and give me all the information I needed! Great professional and friendly service!

Sumter Landing in the Villages is the absolute worst AAA office I have ever been in. The girl at the front door has the personality of a door knob. She definitely does not belong in a customer service role. We went in to book a cruise and it seemed like everyone in there could care less. We just spent $2100 on a cruise for our anniversary and I never got even a smile or thank you out of anyone there. In hindsight we should have walked out. Even though I am a AAA Member I would never book through them again. I am going to report this to the regional office and hopefully they can make some changes. BAD customer appreciation here !

Slow to No service Very confusing layout Total waste of time Don't waste your time going here I would rather go have colonoscopy than go there again

News 6 Insider

🛢️ how gas prices have changed in the villages in the last week.

THE VILLAGES, Fla. – The average cost for a gallon of gasoline is up 6 cents from a month ago but has dropped by about 1 cent over the past week, according to AAA and GasBuddy data.

This week marks some relief for drivers who have watched gas prices rise in the months leading up to May.

”We’ve seen the national average fade slightly again as oil prices have cooled and our spring peak appears to be more confidently behind us,” GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan declared in a statement Monday.

Gas prices have remained a troublesome piece of the effort to tamp down inflation, sitting today at about 10 cents a gallon more than they were at this time last year.

The ongoing war in Ukraine, which resulted in the targeting of Russian oil facilities, and the growing conflict surrounding Israel’s war in Gaza helped push prices higher in the spring months.

Stacker compiled statistics on gas prices in The Villages, FL metro area using data from AAA.

Gas prices are current as of May 6.

The Villages by the numbers - Gas current price: $3.62 --- Florida average: $3.60 - Week change: +$0.04 (+1.0%) - Year change: +$0.06 (+1.8%) - Historical expensive gas price: $4.87 (6/14/22)

- Diesel current price: $3.73 - Week change: -$0.11 (-2.9%) - Year change: +$0.04 (+0.9%) - Historical expensive diesel price: $5.73 (6/18/22)

Metros with the most expensive gas #1. Napa, CA: $5.63 #2. Salinas, CA: $5.59 #3. Santa Rosa, CA: $5.58

Metros with the least expensive gas #1. Henderson, KY: $2.98 #2. Casper, WY: $3.02 #3. Lubbock, TX: $3.06

This story features writing by Dom DiFurio and is part of a series utilizing data automation across 371 metros.

State parks are a great place to make a holiday splash.

When it comes to sun-soaked adventures, Florida reigns supreme. It was the most popular U.S. state among international visitors in 2022, according to the latest report from the International Trade Administration. Beyond its famed theme parks , the vacation destination offers plenty of exciting excursions for thrill-seekers of all ages.

Here’s where to go to discover exhilarating activities, lavish accommodations and endless opportunities for family bonding.

Thrill-Seeking in Tampa

Tampa is home to numerous of family-friendly adventures, including a pirate-themed water taxi and Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park , which offers an impressive array of up-close encounters with giraffes, rhinos and penguins.

To really get your adrenaline pumping, Vertical Ventures provides state-of-the-art climbing wall facilities and a supportive staff for everyone from novices to advanced climbers looking for their next challenge. And if you want to take your vacation even higher, Empower Adventures ’ ziplining fun provides a bird’s-eye view of Tampa Bay and Mobbly Bayou Wilderness Preserve.

And just minutes from downtown Tampa lies a breathtaking oasis at Hillsborough River State Park , where thrill-seekers can canoe or kayak down Class II river rapids (not easy to find in Florida).

When you’re ready to relax, head to The Tampa EDITION , where you can continue to enjoy verdant greenery, albeit in a luxury hotel. Nestled on the shores of Tampa Bay in the trendy Water Street district, the hotel has established itself as the upscale hot spot to see and be seen. Its art-deco-meets-modern vibe brings South Beach sophistication to Central Florida.

Renowned chef John Fraser helms three restaurants at the property. Lilac is the most formal of the trio, yet its Mediterranean-flavored, vegetable-forward menu remains family friendly. As a reward for all the steps you’ve taken during the day, order a champagne cocktail served tableside or the heavenly chocolate soufflé.

If you’re able to sneak away from the kiddos during your stay at the EDITION, get to the swanky cocktail lounge Arts Club (designed by Ian Schrager) or the Punch Room , an intimate cocktail bar that serves up specialty punches inspired by Tampa’s history. And for the ultimate relaxation, be sure to book a treatment at the hotel’s spa. We recommend getting a signature massage and upgrading it to add CBD oil to relieve tired muscles.

Retreat to the pool after a day of adventure.

Unlock Adventure in Sarasota

For the ultimate rush, experience the thrill of skydiving over the beautiful landscapes of Sarasota with Skydive Southwest Florida . If free-falling at 120 mph is a cause for pause, tandem skydiving packages are available for beginners.

A bit closer to the ground (but no less astounding) is The Ringling Circus Museum. The 66-acre attraction not only tells an entertaining story about the big top’s evolution, but it shines light on state history, architecture and more through exhibits and a historic theater. And if you’re feeling inspired by all the juggling and tumbling, try the flying trapeze or aerial hammock for yourself in a class at the nearby Circus Arts Conservatory .

At Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, take a deep dive into marine biology. Young ones can participate in interactive encounters with sharks or join the experts for breakfast with the sharks, where you can sink your teeth into Mote’s breakthrough underwater research while getting up close and personal with the incredible creatures during a private feeding.

After you’ve dried off, check into The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota , renowned for its impeccable service and luxurious amenities. Upgrade to the Club Level, where you’ll be spoiled from dawn until dusk with indulgent snacks (including a rotating selection of freshly baked cookies and fine wines). Additionally, the Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel boasts world-class dining, a Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course and a serene spa , which recently completed phase one of renovations. The newly refreshed relaxation terrace overlooking Sarasota Bay is the perfect place to enjoy a light bite and revitalizing infusions.

Just a short shuttle ride away lies exclusive access to The Beach Club on Lido Key, where you’ll find white sands, chairs, umbrellas and full-service food and beverage offerings. There is also a heated pool, an oversized whirlpool and a children’s swimming area.

Eau Spa is the perfect post-amusement park rest stop.

Adventurous Pursuits in Palm Beach

Awaken your spirit of adventure at Lion Country Safari . Drive through natural habitats that mimic the African plains where lions, giraffes, rhinos and zebras roam freely. After your immersive safari, park your vehicle and head toward the kid-friendly rides and waterpark.

To further explore the wonders of the deep, book a day trip to snorkel at Peanut Island, where families can marvel at vibrant coral reefs filled with colorful fish, rays and even an occasional sea turtle. The clear and calm waters surrounding the island make it an accessible adventure for everyone in your group.

Stay nearby at the oceanfront Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa . Luxury permeates every aspect of this blissful Five-Star escape. While the property is deservedly showered in praise for its stellar service and Five-Star Eau Spa , it also delivers a Virtual Playground Zone (a high-tech way to play traditional games like hopscotch and whack-a-mole), a mini theater, a robust activities calendar and much more to keep tykes entertained.

For epicurean delights, don’t miss a meal at Breeze Ocean Kitchen. Here, traditional favorites are given an elevated spin. The wagyu footlong hot dog, for example, sits in a brioche bun and is topped with beer mustard while the Breeze’s burger is done with brisket and accentuated with house-made pickles and a secret sauce.

If the tweens want some time to themselves in the room, have a quiet dinner at Angle , the hotel’s signature supper club and steak restaurant. Savor prime cuts of beef, fresh seafood and expertly prepared seasonal specialties. From Thursday to Saturday, live piano music adds to the elegant ambiance. Seal the action-packed vacation by ordering a smoked cocktail poured tableside and toasting to the fact that everyone had a blast.

The Islands of Adventures’ Incredible Hulk Coaster.

Orlando’s Adventure Oasis

For those seeking excitement, Orlando ’s Universal Studios and its Islands of Adventures is an obvious choice. Brace yourself for a day of heart-pounding attractions like The Incredible Hulk Coaster and the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit and unforgettable immersive worlds inspired by beloved films like Harry Potter and Jurassic Park .

When you’ve had your fill of adventure, Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando Resort is steps away from the parks. Guests receive perks such as complimentary early park admission and Universal Express Unlimited ride access to skip the lines at both Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure. Consider upgrading to a VIP Tour experience for even more exclusive bonuses.

Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes is but a 15-minute drive from the park’s entrance, yet somehow, the sophisticated, 500-acre property feels a world away from the crowd. Little ones will love the sunrise safaris and onsite waterpark while anyone who’s outgrown the Minions will appreciate what the Four-Star spa has to offer.

Travel: postcard from ocala, florida.

I escaped the spring break crowds that overshadow many of Florida’s better-known destinations by visiting Ocala.

Once a sleepy backwater far removed from the coasts, the area around this part of the Sunshine State — about an hour-and-a-half’s drive from Orlando and Tampa — is today the self-proclaimed horse capital of the world.

At the center of all things horse is the nearly 4-year-old World Equestrian Center .

While the approximately 380-acre property was built as a venue for equestrian sports, it’s really a resort. There are two hotels, an RV park, several restaurants at every price point and numerous indoor and outdoor multipurpose spaces, including what has to be the largest floor outside Orlando and Tampa for trade shows and other exhibitions.

Readers of this column will surely be interested in the handsome stone chapel, which bears a resemblance to the centuries-old Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Victory in Old Quebec City. Quite impressively, it hosts three nondenominational services every Sunday. The chapel is among several subtle public professions of faith by the Roberts family, owners and developers of the center.

Not only is the center a destination in its own right, but surrounding Marion County is on the map for visitors who otherwise wouldn’t come to Central Florida. For perspective, Ocala was the second stop in the 2024 Longines League of Nations tournament, which started in Abu Dhabi and finishes in Barcelona after additional stops in Switzerland and the Netherlands.

I don’t ride and wouldn’t pretend to know anything about dressage, show jumping or any of the other disciplines within equestrian sports. But you don’t need to be an enthusiast to be a spectator.

Perhaps what’s most impressive about these sports is the interdependence between the rider, aka the human, and the horse. The horses aren’t really analogous to running shoes, hockey sticks or other pieces of sporting equipment. This is actually a team sport — a partnership between horse and rider, both of whom must be trained, conditioned and prepared to compete.

In addition to events during the season, which I was surprised to learn isn’t confined to the winter months when snowbirds flock to Florida, there are numerous non-equine events to bring in visitors and guests at the two hotels.

During my visit the terrace overlooking the 128,000 square-foot Grand Outdoor Arena hosted a sunset event featuring some of the best wines from California’s Sonoma County. I’m told the regular food and wine events are especially popular with retirees living in the nearby Villages — the sprawling community that has been among the fastest-growing areas in the country.

The main hotel at the World Equestrian Center is the 248-room Equestrian Hotel . The luxury hotel with its four-diamond rating from AAA has an eccentric decor courtesy of designer Ric Owens. Think opulent Louis XVI mixed with Ralph Lauren’s High WASP style.

I stayed at the newest of the two hotels, The Riding Academy Hotel . While a little more approachable than the Equestrian, it has the same attention to detail and overall quality. In fact, the lobby could be a Ralph Lauren store. Be sure to also spend some time at the resort-like pool.

The closest airport with commercial service is about 40 miles away in Gainesville, although getting there may require double connections depending on where you’re coming from. The best alternative are the big-city airports in Orlando and Tampa. For those driving, Ocala is about five hours from Atlanta and around eight hours from New Orleans as well as Charlotte and Wilmington in North Carolina.
