Things To Do In Jacksonville
There are plenty of things to do to have some fun while your
visiting Jacksonville. If you want to soak up some sun and do some
camping, you can visit Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park. It runs along the
Atlantic Ocean for about 1.5 miles. There you can do anything from
swimming and fishing to sailing and camping. This campsite is open
daily from 8am to 8pm. There is only a small fee to pay for enjoying
one of the most relaxing places in Jacksonville. If you would rather
have a more marine like vacation, you can always visit Marineland.
This is a place where you can swim and interact with the dolphins.
They originally opened in 1938 to create a marine life like in the
wild for the purpose of filming only. Most Hollywood under water
films were filmed here and it was formerly named Marine Studios.
Soon after this became one of the largest oceanariums for people to
see what marine life was like. It then turned into a performance
from the dolphins, this attracted about 500,000 visitors per year.
Today the oceanarium is known as an educational experience as you
can swim, touch, feed, and even paint with the dolphins. If your
looking for something with even more adventure you can try out Kayak
Amelia. Their Mission statement is "To create a wake, whose ripples
provide our guests with a sense of wonder about the natural world,
while minimizing our impact on the daily lives of the non-human
neighbors whose home we share." This is a great experience for
someone is up for adventure and excitement. There are guided tours
and unguided tours. The guided tours just go with the flow and more
relaxing. The unguided tour is for someone who wants to create their
own adventure! Enjoy the excitement of the water! |
