Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, built on the grounds of a private Tudor mansion, is recommended to all who appreciate the visual arts. It houses works dating from 2000 B.C. to the present. The surrounding grounds feature magnificent English and Italian gardens in setting adjoining the St. Johns River. The Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve is a 46,000 acre assortment of linked sites encompassing pristine wilderness areas, historical buildings and informative exhibits on the area's natural history. Unlike other reserves and state parks, the area is not enclosed within linked boundaries, but is a series of different locations.
The Friendship Fountain at the western end is the nation's largest self-contained fountain at 200 feet (61 metres) in diameter. It presents a spectacular sight at night when illuminated by its 265 lights. Join a Budweiser Brewery Tour, a complimentary tour of the Anheuser-Busch Jacksonville Brewery. Visit the Jacksonville Zoo to see the fine collection of exotic beasts and the Museum of Science and History to see the early origins of the region. Check out the dates for the annual Jazz Festival and International Sea & Air Spectacular. Take in the 73,000 seat Alltel Stadium for the annual Florida-Georgia football game every October or a National Football
League match featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars
Cruise the St Johns river on the stern-wheel paddleboats, try some offshore
deep sea fishing charters, try one of the
50 plus world class golf courses in the area or relax with some horse riding on the beaches and dunes. |
