What visitors say
Bobs River Place is "temporarily closed." There are For Sale signs on the property facing the Suwannee River. We passed by on kayaks. There are still all the exciting structures-slides, rope swings, wooden platforms, tree houses..oh…
I loved this place! Such a good time, my whole family went and we had a blast. I hope the new owner keeps it the way it is!
Such a fun place to relive your childhood memories!! This place was full of happiness and joy. They barely have restrictions, meaning that you feel free to explore and jump from the trees into the river without the staff calling you…
