Ocala is a small town in north central Florida. A small, agricultural and manufacturing center, Ocala is about halfway between Gainesville to the north and Orlando to the southeast. With its attractive tree-lined streets and Old South–style homes, it more resembles a typical Southern city than a Florida city or beach town. Ocala is the capital of Florida’s thoroughbred industry, and ranching and horse-breeding are popular local endeavors.

Miscellaneous
Ocala is considered moderately unfriendly to members of the LGBTQ community, meaning that members of the community may feel somewhat unsafe in certain spaces.
Ocala is an ideal place for outdoor recreation, with a heritage and legacy of equestrian horse breeding, Ocala was named the Horse Capital of the World in 2007. This is very apparent with all of their horse farms and the many champion bred horses such as the 1956 Kentucky Derby winner, Needles, or Triple Crown Winner, Affirmed. There are more horses in Ocala/Marion County than anywhere in the world, along with many horseback trails and competitive racing tracks.
Ocala is also a great place to get out and enjoy the mild climate, birdwatching and cataloging all of the beautiful wildlife. Hunting is also a popular area pastime. Some locals operate a super fun zipline and will rent kayaks and canoes to those who want to enjoy the water. Ocala offers many other outdoors activities too including fishing holes, baseball games, and golf courses.
Lastly, for those looking for arts and culture, there’s the Appleton Museum and Brick City Center for the Arts to see classic and contemporary works art. If you desire something more kinetic, there is the Dance Alive National Ballet and Reilly Arts Center to take in some theatre. Ocala never forgets its history buffs either with such historic locations as Ma Barker House and the Historic Ocala Square.
Transportation
Ocala is serviced by the SunTran, a series of color-themed lines that are planned to get the maximum number of riders throughout the area. Though these are well planned, you’d be better off using private shuttles or rideshares if you needed to be somewhere specific. SunTran does offer charter services that may bridge the gap however.
There are 20 memory care facilities near Ocala, Florida. See the full list.
