Yesteryear Village

About

A living history park where your kids walk through restored historic buildings and chat with costumed interpreters about how Floridians lived generations ago. Your kids can explore the grounds at their own pace, discovering everything from the famous Riddle House to a working schoolhouse and church, with staff sharing stories about everyday life in old Florida. Good for ages 6 and up, though younger kids get in free. Most families spend a couple hours wandering around, and the park feels safe enough to let your kids explore independently. Seasonal events like Halloween activities pop up, so check their calendar before you go.

  Yesteryear Village is a living history park where kids get to step back in time and explore actual historic buildings while costumed interpreters share stories about how Floridians lived and worked long ago. Your child can chat with the "town residents" and get a real feel for everyday life from Florida's past, which is way more engaging than just reading about it in a textbook. The village is open Thursday and Friday mornings and afternoons (10 AM to 4 PM), and they also offer group reservations on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings if you want to bring a whole bunch of kids. Admission is really affordable at $7 for kids ages 6 to 11, with younger kids (5 and under) getting in free, and adults are $10. The staff recommends arriving at least two hours before closing so you have enough time to actually explore the whole village without feeling rushed.
