Riverside Arts Market

Its already incredible as is but if you make it on the first Saturday of the month and its free? heck yeah. You go on a Friday in the summer for the music in the garden? Fairytale.
The Cummer Museum
No better onigiri in the city. If you're lucky you'll find them at Riverside Arts Market on Saturday when you go ;)
DORAMI Food Truck
We love a locally owned book store.. and one that throws book bedazzling nights and has a funny AF shop owner? yessssssss please count me in
Candlelit Romance Bookstore
Our whole family loves the zoo and frequents weekly. They seem to take great care of the animals and host lots of cool displays and events. There is also a super fun train ride you can add on and go around the zoo.
Jacksonville Zoo
I wouldn't exactly say this is at the top of my list if you're here for only a short stay but if you live here or are here for longer its a lovely place for a stroll and picnic or great during their Christmas lights display.
Jacksonville Arboretum

Little Talbot Island State Park

You may be here in Jacksonville through the military and therefore near Mayport. You MUST stop by coconut key coffee and sundries while you're around. Not only do they have great coffee and matcha but they also have a mini collective of local makers ...
COCONUT KEY COFFEE AND SUNDRIES

Oceana
There are two locations here and you can pick your vibe. If you'd like to sit down and have a coffee and lite treat - downtown is the way to go for you. Peace and quiet and a maze of books? Not downtown
Chamblin Bookmine
Now tickets may be outrageous at the moment, especially with the stadium not at full capacity under reno… but there will always be tons of Jaguars events around the city during season.
Jaguars Home | Jacksonville Jaguars
Why yes. Our baseball team are known as the Jumbo Shrimp and NOOOO I am not the slightest bit embarrassed whenever I have to tell anybody that. I am not embarrassed however when I happily set my family down on the field for movie nights or when I use...

Our downtown Riverwalk is one of my favorite places in Jacksonville by far. Our family loves taking a Saturday stroll along the bank and watching the train go by or the dolphins pop up in the water. We have yet to go to the giant park they built but ...
