Florida Citrus Tower

Beautiful views, fun coffee shop lobby area! A little bit modern with a little bit of nostalgia. A happy little attraction worth the visit. I look forward to coming back after dark!

The most amazing view! I didn't want to leave. Start your day at The Lake Ridge Winery, and end at the top!

This is Florida. This is a view 226 feet up of what used to be nothing but citrus groves for miles. This will only take a few moments out of your travels, but you can stay as long as you like (well, during open hours!) Is it worth it? How could you actually confess to your friends you went by this place and didn't experience, imagine, old Florida? Cool Citrus drink in the lobby was pretty good too!

Love the view from the top. You can see Orlando and Disney. Great Christmas Light decor and music during the Christmas season.

Built is 1956 this 226 foot tall tower offers 360 degree views that go for miles. The admission price is $11 for adults and $7 for children so it is very affordable for a unique experience in one of Floridas older attractions. There is a souvenir show at the base and plenty of photos with the history of the tower. Well worth the visit and doing so helps preserve it for future visitors.

Came for the coffee, stayed for the nostalgia and great views. Love the Florida Citrus Tower and all of its glorious history!

A tall 22 story tower with a 360 observation deck that allows you to view as far Orlando and Disney. As I entered the lobby, I was greeted by the very friendly barrista that provided information about the Citrus Tower. The coffee aroma was wonderful and contagious. Can't remember the last time I visited a coffe shop that it's atoma was so good and fresh. There is a Puerto Rican, restaurant that is expected to open soon. As you head to the elevator, call it, and when you enter, you may be surprised that there are only two call buttons: 1,2. Where number 2 takes you up to the top. Iwas expecting 22. When the doors open, you are greeted with big windows overlooking the west and either way you exit, left or right, you have a clear view of Clermont and it's neighboring cities. There are stools to sit and you can stay as long as you like. There is a fee, however, to go up to the deck, but not expensive.

We had a great time at Florida Citrus Tower.
My mother-in-law was visiting from Europe and this was our first thing to visit. Why? Because she wanted to see the surroundings. And she fell in love with the view.
There is a Coffee Shop that serves delicious coffee.
Also is a small room with kids activities, while you can drink a coffee kids can play.

Neat place to visit if you're in town. Don't go out of your way to see it though.

I went here for the coffee. Lol I have never been to the actual Citrus Tower. Customer service is great

Proud to be a part of a transition of ownership from Greg Homan and family to STBM in the ownership of the Citrus Tower. The Tower has been a significant part of my life. I recall being with my grandfather making produce deliveries to and from Clermont in the early '60s. We always stopped and rode to the top, memories I cherish today! Having met and become a friend to Greg Homan, who has owned the Citrus Tower since 1995, has been a true honor as he is a great man, husband, and father who truly loved what it stood for. I know there is work to do in bringing the Tower to its highest level of greatness again, but the work has already begun. For all who have taken that elevator ride up 22 floors to the top and those who are still to come, we are grateful and proud and look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Scenery is very nice from the tower but definitely not worth the $10+tax for seniors.my personal opinion.

I know probably a little high on the rating, there is not much to this, coffee bar in the lobby and an elevator up to the top but it is a unique Central Florida attraction.

I have lived within an hour and a half of the tower for over 30 years and this my first time visiting. Not really worth the $11 cost but there is a Groupon that got it down to $7 but it least it doesn't seem like it would ever get too crowded.

TLDR: Too expensive but unique Central Florida attraction.

I really enjoyed the Citrus Cream Latte while sitting on the café floor! There are really cute Clermont/Florida souvenirs or sale. (I have yet to go up on the tower though.)

Great place to unwind whether you partake in the coffee shop on ground floor (228 feet ASL) or if you travel up the elevator to catch the views at the tower another 226 feet up. The View stretches 8 counties on a clear day and you can see subdivisions, groves, forests and even some skyscrapers in the distance. One ticket allows you unlimited daily access until close.

Allergy warning: Bees and wasps are still present at times.

Love this beautiful place! We used to go here when I was a kid and there was had a candy factory in the back called Carolyn Candies. The views are stunning. One suggestion: yall should put up a sign by the coin drop and donate the proceeds to charity or an animal shelter such as the Orlando cat cafe. New people to the tower probably don't know what the coin drop is. I feel an opportunity is being missed.

Overall it was neat, attendants in the coffee shop were nice. Would I pay $11 again to ride up an elevator and get some okay views.definitely not. They actually have an annual pass for $150 (35 bucks more than a tampa zoo pass). Im glad we did it, but it was all in all a maybe 20 minute experience that passes the time while I was waiting on my car to get fixed
