Other activities in Floral City include hunting, boating, fishing, and air boating to get to the many inaccessible back water fishing holes that make up the area.

The Ferris Groves Fruit Company is also a popular main stay of the area. Established in 1930, L. G. "Doc" Ferris began planting citrus in rich hammock soil on an island in Floral City, Florida. Over the years this soil has produced all varieties of Florida's Finest Citrus and is still open for business today. The annual Floral City Strawberry Festival is also something to look forward to each March. There are many wonderful old homes in Floral City, but also lots of open farmland, horse ranches and country homes for sale as well as land to build new homes.

While Floral City is a small town, it is located near other larger cities like Inverness and Brooksville. Floral City is also located close to the Florida Turnpike, I-75, and the new Suncoast Parkway making Orlando and Tampa only 1 hour away.
