The Big House - Tavares (FL)

5 /5 Tim: Amazing state of the art facility. The staff is friendly. Its nice to have a year round safe air conditioned facility in FL. The cafe inside was perfect for a snack.

5 /5 Mike Townsend: We attended a basketball tournament at The Big House and enjoyed the weekend. However the admission cost was quite high for attendees that want to support their athletes. The facilities were clean and organized. There were bag checks at the entrance and unarmed security present the entire time the facility was in operation. Actually, I had a great experience because at the end of the first day I actually lost my wallet at the final game. It had slipped out of my short pocket as I was rising from my seat. I did not notice until after I had left the facility though. I did call but the line was unmanned at that time of the day. I returned for our second day of basketball and checked in with security who had located the wallet and placed in the safe for me. I was very grateful for the professionalism of the security staff. This could have turned out to be a terrible weekend. Thanks for the great job to the security manager who took care of my valuables.

5 /5 Joseph Yadel Gutierrez: My son play here plenty parking good tournaments facility and courts are in great shape iked the little tribute to Chester Lemon

1 /5 Sara E.: The parking lot is patchy with dirt and gets everything dirty and dusty when you park and walk up to the facility. We paid $20 a person to enter. We were all but strip searched to ensure we werent bringing in any outside food or drink items, even a banana for our 1 year old, who doesnt eat regular concession stand food. Mind you, the regular size Gatorade was EIGHT DOLLARS. Thats absolutely insane. We went along with it, to then be told we couldnt bring in MINTS. A brand new tin of icebreaker mints were thrown away, I asked why, and the girl said it was because they "could be thrown at the refs" ... WHAT!? By that asinine logic, I could literally throw anything from my purse at the refs, yet we could bring everything else in with us... the girl was courteous, and I understand she was doing her job and didnt make the rules, so I didnt give her attitude or anything, just went along with it because we had already traveled an hour to get there. We went to the main part of the complex to watch the basketball game for my nephew and it was miserably hot, nearly unbearable. Idk if they didnt have the air on or not turned cold enough? But it was terrible to sit there for longer than 5 minutes. Thankfully we wont be going back to this location, and if we have to, we wont.

5 /5 Joyce O: I found this facility to be super clean and accommodating. The courts were impressive. Unlike others, I found the food prices reasonable. They allow an athlete to bring in a bottle of water. No place can stay in business without charging for food and drinks. Their pri is are cheap compared to a lot of venues! $5 admission is extremely reasonable.
