Jacksonville, Florida is a major international seaport, has an international airport, and has three major interstate highways passing through the city.  As such, Jacksonville is easy to get to and has much to offer to nearby residents and faraway travelers.  Five of the top activities in Jacksonville are:

1. Beaches!  Water sports of all types, including sport fishing and boating (and seashell collecting!), may be enjoyed on the local beaches of Jacksonville: Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, and Neptune Beach.

2. The Jacksonville Zoo has over 1,000 extraordinary creatures on its 70-acre lot.  As well, patrons can enjoy a walking safari, a ride on the Zoo Train, a carousel ride, botanical gardens, and Play Park, where visitors may navigate mazes, climb trees, and watch otters swim in an overhead tunnel.

3.The Museum of Science & History houses artifacts related to the history and growth of Northeast Florida.  As well, visitors may enjoy the JEA Science Theater & Aqua Expo, the planetarium, summer adventure camps, and special exhibits and events.

4. The Sports Complex accommodates three main stadiums: the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville, home of the Jacksonville Suns, an AA affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers; the Alltel Stadium, home of the National Football League’s Jacksonville Jaguars; and the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, which hosts hockey and basketball games. 

5. Jacksonville Princess.  Make dinner reservations on the Jacksonville Princess, a luxury charter cruise yacht that leaves from the south bank of the river at the Hilton Pavilion and cruises along the St. Johns River.
