Head south across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge for a day at Ananda Farm on Terra Ceia Island. Our farm gives St. Petersburg families a place to climb, jump, pick seasonal flowers, and share a meal outdoors.
The trip works for a weekend morning with the kids or an afternoon with friends. Allow about three hours at the farm so you can try several activities and leave time for food and a break.

What visitors say about the trip from St. Pete
★★★★★
“This is our second time to Ananda Farms. It is so convenient from DTSP. Our grandson loves all the activities from the big slides, the playground and the bounce house.”
How Far Is Ananda Farm from St. Pete?
Allow approximately 25–35 minutes from downtown St. Petersburg as a planning estimate. Travel time varies with your starting point, traffic, and bridge conditions. Visits from northern St. Pete or the beaches may take longer.
Take I-275 south across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge toward Terra Ceia. Use 579 Ken Hubbard Road, Terra Ceia, FL 34250 as your navigation destination for the final approach to the farm entrance.
Get Directions from Your Starting Point
Start with the Treehouse and Jumping Pillows
The Dragon Fruit Lair Treehouse Slide gives kids an elevated structure to explore before they head down the spiral slide. Add the jumping pillows to your route for more active play.
You can also explore the trike track, hay castle, and other farm attractions. Choose a few favorites before arriving and follow the rules and staff guidance at each stop.

Farm admission includes the attractions; U-Pick buckets and gem bags cost extra.
Visit the Flower Fields Before Dinner
When flowers are available, the U-Pick fields offer a hands-on stop and a bouquet to take home. Blooms change with the season and growing conditions, so check availability before leaving St. Pete.
Flower picking closes at 6 PM Friday through Sunday, even when the farm stays open later. If you plan an afternoon visit, leave time for the fields before your meal.
Pizza, Rooftop Views, and a Break Between Activities
Stop at Harvest Crust Pizzeria for a meal, or explore The Nest’s food and rooftop views. Twisted Roots Tavern offers drinks, while The Flour Shop serves coffee and sweets.
Build a meal break into your visit so your group can rest between attractions and enjoy more of the farm.
