Visit This RIDICULOUSLY UNDERRATED CITY | Largo, Florida

[@Explorcation]

Hi everyone, thank you for checking out Largo with us. It is pretty crazy that we have lived so close to Largo and haven't explored it until now! What would you be most excited to do in Largo?

[@lexi8633]

DK Farms & Nursery for sure!

[@Explorcation]

@@lexi8633 It is such a fun place!

[@faithgnes3105]

I live in largo! Right beside the largo central part and i didnt even know it had ALL that stuff!!! Im excited to go check it out! I have also been wanting to go to the botanical gardens for awhile now. I dont know why i havent been outside to enjoy all this beauty but depression makes you like that unfortunately.

[@FollowThomas]

The west coast in Florida is very beautiful. I did the bike tour up and down the coast and loved it. Enjoyed watching your video. Thanks 👍🙂

[@Explorcation]

No arguments from us, Thomas. We love the west coast of Florida and would love to explore it via bike some day! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@gmpny3945]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Being close to nature and appreciating all the animals is heartwarming to watch.

[@Explorcation]

Our pleasure. As much as we love our city, we definitely feel most at home when we are out experiencing nature! Thanks so much for watching!

[@chrispham7064]

Oh my that breakfast and dinner are looking so good, everything looked totally amazing , beautiful, this video definitely make me want to visit Lago .Thank you so much.Great video. Love you guys.Have a wonderful weekend.

[@Explorcation]

We really did get to enjoy some ridiculously good food on this day, Chris. We're so glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for watching!

[@sohretindunyasi]

Çok tatlısınız. Harika bir video. Teşekkür ederim

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much for watching our video and taking the time to comment!

[@OurTravelPlace]

Yum that avacado toast, the combination of feta and mint is so good! Love that the kestrels were called Slash and Slayer, haha

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, we got a good laugh out of the kestrels name too. I think that avacado toast was the first time we'd ever experienced the mint and Feta combination, but we agree that it was amazing!

[@greg33770]

Largo is a great place !👍😉Taylor Park on 8th Ave., and Largo Nature Preserve just south of East Bay Dr. on Highland Ave. are also great places.

[@Explorcation]

We do agree! Thank you for the suggestions when we go back we will have to check out the park and preserve.

[@romanm9718]

I love the Botanical Garden anytime of the year but its probably the nicest in April and May. December is also a good time to visit with all the lights. Also Largo Central Park is amazing in December with all the Christmas trees and lights. They even have rides for the kids.

[@Explorcation]

Wow, that's great information, Roman. Thanks for sharing. We'll definitely be sure to get back to the gardens around Christmas time!

[@boxcarkim24]

Thanks for sending the link for Largo. We will be down in 2 weeks staying on Anna Maria Island. We can't wait to check out Largo while we're there. Thanks

[@Explorcation]

No problem! We hope you guys have an awesome time on Anna Maria... we're pretty sure you will!

[@gregkiser554]

Thanks!!! Got some great ideas for my next visit there!!

[@Explorcation]

That's awesome. Glad we could help you plan your next trip to Florida!

[@TravelInteresante]

Unsure why I decided to watch this with an empty stomach but I pretty much regret it now. Love avocado toast so much. What a cool farm to visit after! Animals give so much joy! Your dinner spot seems so nice, glad they had good deals as well.

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, you should really know better by now 😂 But I'm pretty sure we went and ate everything in the fridge after watching your videos a few times, so I guess now we are even! 😅

[@joansidor3409]

I just love your videos. They put me in that tropical beach mood! From so far away!!! Joan

[@Explorcation]

Thanks so much, Joan. We're so happy that we can bring a bit of the beach to you!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Aww the animals were so cute in this one! Loved seeing all the owls and very cute bunnies! I never even heard of Largo before so thanks for introducing us to all it has the offer!

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, most people haven't. It's always fun to do the videos on the super popular places, but we really love visiting those hidden gems and introducing them to people!

[@justinreid8851]

Omg we jus ate at roasterfish grill and love love loved it. THAMKS SO MUCH FOR THE RECOMMENDATION GUYS

[@Explorcation]

That place is great and so affordable. We're glad you loved it as much as we did, Justin!

[@ch3rrywave]

I lived in Largo almost all my life, the Coffee Mill is about a 5-minute drive at most from where I used to live!

[@Explorcation]

I imagine it would have been a pretty fund place to grow up! We would love to live that close to the Coffee Mill. It's a great spot!

[@dearmepa1]

Once again, excellent presentation! You two do an amazing job and I thank you. We live in Bradenton, FL, a short 39 miles from Largo and yet we’ve never had any thoughts on traveling there! We do now! I didn’t think goat yoga was a real thing!🤣🤣🤣

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to make this kind comment, Hazel. I think that there are a lot of people that live close to Largo and have no idea what it offers. We were in that boat just a few weeks ago! We hope that you get a chance to explore it for yourself sometime soon. And yeah, goat yoga is definitely a thing 😂

[@ronturner6411]

Another great video, thanks for taking us along. I always look forward to your videos keep them coming.

[@Explorcation]

And thank you for the continued support, Ron. We always appreciate you taking the time to comment!

[@rhondalyn100]

What fun! The parks were gorgeous and, as usual, your drinks and food looked delish!

[@Explorcation]

Yeah the parks in Largo were such an unexpected surprise, and we were so glad we made it in time for that early bird special!

[@CarlosGonzalez-mr5qz]

A couple that eats together stays together ❤️

[@Explorcation]

I'm not sure I've ever heard that saying but I sure do like it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@Jaxcifuni]

i live in Largo Florida its nice love the park went every day

[@Explorcation]

We were really surprised by how much there was to do in Largo! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@happyface4713]

I'm so glad I came across this video - thank you.

[@Explorcation]

Wer'e so glad you did to! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!

[@soniachiarella9499]

Thanks for your fun and informative videos. You motivated us to visit Tarpon Springs and it did not disappoint. I’be saved some of your videos and subscribed to your Chanel. Keep ‘em coming!

[@Explorcation]

We're so glad to hear that our channel inspired you to visit Tarpon Springs. We really appreciate your support and taking the time to comment, Sonia!

[@dougl.6461]

That donut looks amazing! My dad lived 3/4 a yr in Largo Florida and sweared it was Paradise!!! Bought a unit in a nice private gated community of modular homes becoming THE Shuffleboard King from Ohio!

[@Explorcation]

We can understand why your dad referred to it as a paradise, especially if he's into shuffleboard (very popular down here). Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@genehinders9639]

Man, another hidden gem in the area we didn't realize was there....I know we've driven through the Largo area now it looks like we have to stop and check it out on a future visit!

[@Explorcation]

We were really surprised by largo. The botanical gardens was one of the most impressive free things that we've ever experienced in Florida. And they have some really good budget friendly restaurants as well.

[@comax1108]

Thanks what a great video. I'm making the move there for sure

[@Explorcation]

Wohoo! We hope you love living in this area as much as we do!

[@CarlosGonzalez-mr5qz]

Wow I didn't know Largo had so much to offer. I've biked from Clearwater Beach to IRB. Never knew all this was next door! Thanks for making this video!

[@Explorcation]

Honestly we had no idea that it had so much to offer prior to making this video either! We hope you get a chance to do a little exploring of Largo for yourself!

[@shuntia7969]

I'm glad you enjoyed largo I'm from there now live in north dakota there is lots of hidden gems

[@Explorcation]

You are right about the hidden gems, the city really had so much more to offer than we even knew! I don't know why it took us so long to really experience the area. Thank you so much for watching. We hope you get to come back and visit sometime :)

[@claudineeven5532]

Thanks so much I just move to Clearwater near Largo and this video was awesome

[@Explorcation]

Our pleasure. Thank you for watching!

[@ScullyPop]

I'm so excited for your channel's growth.

[@Explorcation]

Thanks so much, Scully. It's so much work and so full of ups and downs... videos that do worse than expected, and then videos that do far better. Thankfully we love what we're doing, which makes the hard work and down times more manageable!

[@hannahbotanica3311]

I loved your vid! I love to go exploring & I really enjoyed seeing the animals, plants, & food y'all tried. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely check out Largo. It is definitely underrated from the cool stuff y'all found 👍😎

[@Explorcation]

We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the video, Hannah. Largo is pretty amazing, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did when you visit!

[@momandwarrior47]

OOh I love owls! We have a pair that roost in our backyard every season! Mila and Milo. They just had a clutch that grew up and flew away. Can't wait till next year! Largo looks awesome!

[@Explorcation]

Oh that's so awesome that you get to experience owls in your own back yard. That would be so amazing! As always, thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment, Tara!

[@normantrahan3438]

We are dying to move to Florida. Love your videos. We watch all of them. Wish I could still eat and drink as much as you two. We are looking to move to the Sarasota or Clearwater area. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this kind comment and for watching all of our videos, Norman! You really can't find more beautiful areas than Sarasota or Clearwater. We loved our time living in Sarasota, and I'm sure we would enjoy living in the Clearwater area as well!

[@BobCarlson]

After a week of seeing the world thru the eyes of a 3 year old (grand baby) this looks like a perfect day.

[@Explorcation]

I'm sure it does, Bob! 😅

[@krystalanderic]

White Chocolate Cinnamon Bun coffee AND birds?? Seems like Eric's dream place 😁Can't believe I've never heard of Largo!

[@gregrichey840]

You are showing me places in my own backyard I did not know about.

[@Explorcation]

We're so happy to hear that, Greg. It's taken us years of living in Florida to explore many of the spots in our back-yard too. We're just blessed with a ridiculous amount of options around here!

[@i.m.watching5536]

We love Largo!❤

[@Explorcation]

It's pretty great!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Wow the palm gardens looked so beautiful! $35 for that dinner looked worth rushing to get the early bird 😋

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, those gardens were one of the coolest free activities we've ever experienced. And the early bird meals were definitely legit!

[@lasik69]

Excellent! Thank you!!!

[@Explorcation]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Seems like the perfect day! I really loved the nature stops you made - and that petting zoo, goat yoga and nature walks looked like something we would enjoy too. You had some great food options that day - it all looked so tasty! And to end with a brewery seems like the perfect ending (in our beer drinking opinions). I'd definitely visit Largo!

[@Explorcation]

It was definitely a nice change of pace from our normal beach days. We normally do find beaches to be really relaxing, but being around animals and out in nature is a really good stress reliever too. And we're all about trying to make videos in low stress environments!

[@lanaleigh3112]

I live one block from coffee mill in Largo.

[@Explorcation]

What a great location! Thanks for watching, Lana.

[@beautifulqueen8336]

Thanks for an amazing video I'm taking my daughter in july she will be swimming with the dolphins bayside😊

[@jasminbebe2488]

Just got approved for a house in Largo! Pretty excited.

[@Explorcation]

That's so exciting, Jasmin! Congratulations!

[@TheMapPinners]

We love finding little coffee shops like the one that you found at the beginning of the video :) Nothing like delicious food, good coffee, and a cute, cozy environment to start the day! Loved the cute little farm too! The mini horse and the bunnies were adorable. You can tell how much a natural Skyler is with all of the animals. He definitely grew up on a farm! That restaurant you went to for dinner sounded like it awesome deal. It's hard to find any beers in the US for $2.50, let alone a delicious craft beer!

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, that coffee shop really felt more like something you'd find in Vermont or something. Definitely not your typical Florida coffee shop vibe which was a nice change! Skylar is definitely in a natural with farm animals, we'd probably be living on a farm with 10 donkeys right now if it was up to him 😂

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Love how Jamie added a huge donut to the pre agreed small breakfast 😂 the coffee mill looks great and the avocado toast with a twist sounded good too. The hungry goats were adorable and the donkey looked so sweet, getting to cuddle the bunnies looked really fun too, the goat yoga!🐐🧘🏼‍♀️😂

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, she likes to talk a "healthy eating" game, but she rarely follows through 😂

[@Explorcation]

Don't worry, almost noone has! It's definitely one of the cooler places we've visited lately though! We had a blast.

[@AquariusTraveller]

Wow this video was a lot less beaches and full on different kinds of animals. The turtles and bunnys were cute and I think i have seen that goat yoga over here. Just wait for my video next week and you'll see butterfly galore... since you didn't see any here. I went to a green house and there were hundreds. Your food spots looked great and just loved all those seafood meals you tried. The 35 dollar special was a great price for what you got too. Not sure I'm too into sour beers... after a sip of the first one i probably wouldn't have gone any further...lol. A nice addition guys and something a little different to your normal content...I like it 👍😁

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, it's always fun to switch it up once in a while, and we always love visiting animal sanctuaries. We really had no ideal that this city had so much cool stuff to do, but after a few people had recommended that we go make a video on it, we decided we better check it out. Looking forward to seeing seeing the butterflies. We've actually been to a couple butterfly gardens recently that had no butterflies. Must just not be butterfly season!

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@Explorcation I was told it depends on the weather for the butterfly... they love nice sunny days

[@Explorcation]

@@AquariusTraveller ahh I see, maybe we visited on days when the weather wasn't ideal. We will have to go back on a sunny, non windy day. It is always so nice to see the butterflies.

[@fentog]

Good job guys, live nearby in South Pasadena and never been to any of those places 😎

[@Explorcation]

Thanks you so much for watching our videos and taking the time to comment. We hope that our videos inspire you and any others to explore some new places!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Congrats on 8K subs 🥳 Never thought to add mint to my avo on toast, sounds like we’ll have to give it a try 🤗 such a cute coffee shop though. Awww, those turtles are so cute!! The trails look amazing! Love how all the birds have names ☺️ lol, the goats are too funny 🥰 and the mini horses are so cute! Goat yoga…whaaat?! Yay for free entry at the beautiful botanical garden! Love the palm gardens, so stunning. The food at Roosterfish looks so yum. Frida’s would probably be my favourite place 😅😅 and the brewery would definitely be Craig’s favourite 🍻

[@Explorcation]

Thanks, guys. And congrats on 6k subs for you! Lets hope our second 6k/8k come a LOT faster than the first! We never thought to have mint on avocado toast either, but now we're going to adding it every time we make our own! We loved all the bird names too, and those goats were pretty hilarious. The bakery and the brewery were both exceptional; we'd definitely visit Largo again just for those spots alone.

[@keithsnow]

Looks cool!! Farm? Skylar where?

[@Explorcation]

It was a fun day, Keith! Skylar grew up on a farm in rural Iowa. We still go back there a couple of times a year!

[@clarkcalabrese292]

Greetings Ya'll, just saw your video this morning and thanks for the tips about Largo. We will be staying in Largo for it is a great central location. Close to Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, St. Pete & St. Pete Beach too! This will be our second trip to the area. Looking for some recommendations on water views dining (Sunset maybe, too). We know of some, Frenchy's Rockaway Grill, just north of Pier 60. Also Backwater Grill & Traven on Sand Key. Great bay views. Any other that you would recommend. Thank You!! We also enjoyed Boulevard Burgers and Tap House on St. Pete Beach. We are looking forward to doing our own craft beer tour in St. Pete along Central Ave area. (Did see those videos) Are Trip will be in mid-May. Thank You again! See Ya, be safe, have fun! Clark C.

[@Explorcation]

Great decision, Clark. Largo really is a great central location. Yes, Frenchy's is a great spot for waterfront dining, as is Palm Pavilion (also right next to Frenchy's). We recently had a good water-front meal at Mangos in North Redington Beach. Pass A Grille has a couple good spots in the Hurricane and the Brass Monkey. If you want an actual toes in the sand experience, then Bongos in St. Pete Beach is a great spot. For more casual dining, we enjoy the Dolphin Bar on St Pete Beach and Madeira Beach Snack Shack. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. We hope our videos help you to make the most of your time here!

How is the drive from largo to Clearwater/Indian rocks beach? Is it a long drive because of traffic ?

Hi Bri. It really depends on the time of day and day of the week. On a normal weekday you can often make the drive in 20 minutes, but on a weekend it could easily take you twice that long, maybe longer.
