Kissimmee Rodeo - whats it like? NOW CLOSED!

I'm here to pick your brains again.

Has anyone been to Kissimmee Rodeo? It is worth it? Easy to get to and park? Is it a good way to spend the evening?

Thanks in advance

i would like to go to see one! we have started watching a new season (i think) on sky, but would like to be part of the athmosphere!!

Yes, it's good fun for all ages. For $18 for adults and $9 for under 12s, it's not expensive either.

The parking's OK but, if you're going at a popular holiday time, like Easter for instance, then I'd recommend arriving slightly early. They have food like hamburgers, steak, hotdogs, etc so you could fill up while you're waiting if you want to go earlier.

The one we went to is on South Hoagland (a turning off the 192 almost opposite Osceola Square Mall) and is at 8 pm every Friday (last year they were closed in December though).

If you've got a birthday or special day when you visit, then tell them and they'll announce it for you.

That all sounds great. I think we'll give it a go when we are there. I'll post a report and let you know.

We went to the Kissimmee Rodeo, it is very good, it is a real Rodeo, not a show put on for tourists. They also get all the kids into the centre to try and catch some sheep that have ribbons pinned on their tails. I would definitely recommend it

We agree with the comments already posted - we went for the first time last month, and it's a great evenings entertainment. As Blott said, it starts at 8pm and lasts for about 2 1/2 hours, although you can stay on longer as the events sometimes overrun... We left at just after 11pm having thouroughly enjoyed ourselves...
