Being a city in Florida is almost synonymous to having plenty of water activities. Jacksonville is no exception since it rests on the St. Johns River. Not only will you get a stunning view of the river, you can also go offshore fishing, cruise around in a boat, and gallivant on the riverside boardwalk.
You can also head on over to the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium and watch an exciting Jaguars game. Or you could wait for the Gator Bowl and watch two of the best college teams duke it out. Or be in town for the annual Florida-Georgia game, which is as epic as it is fun to watch.
If you want to stay at the Crowne Plaza Riverfront Jacksonville Hotel, or if at least you're in the area, then you're pretty much close to anything of interest. There's the Jacksonville Landing Riverfront Marketplace, with more than 70 shops, restaurants and live entertainment. Jacksonville has many shopping malls and districts. It doesn't matter if you're looking for outlet deals, upscale department stores, antique finds, or boutique specialties; you want it they got it.
If the great outdoors tickles your fancy, Jacksonville has outdoor fun for everyone. The city's climate makes it an ideal place to enjoy the great outdoors all year round. The area features highly rated golf courses such as Ponte Vedra, the Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass, which is one of the most famous golf courses in the world and home to the annual PGA tour.
Jacksonville also has its share of culture. The Museum of Science and History features three stories of interactive science and local history exhibits, including the Alexander Brest Planetarium.
The Jacksonville Museum of Modern Art features exhibitions fit for almost anyone's artistic taste. The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens, which can be found at the bank of the St. Johns River, has a large collection of paintings hailing from Europe and America, and don't forget to visit the three acre garden while you're there.
Visitors should also expect a number of popular annual cultural events such as The Jacksonville Jazz Festival held every April. It is the second-largest jazz festival in the country. Other well known music festivals include The Spring Music Fest, Planetfest, and Springing the Blues, which is an admission-free blues festival over at Jacksonville Beach.
Speaking of beaches, Jacksonville Beach is an uncrowded, finely sanded, clear-blue watered Atlantic haven that stretches for miles. Not only can you take a swim and indulge yourself under the sun, you can also expect great dining, shopping from antiques to art galleries, an eighteen-hole municipal golf course, family entertainment, more festivals, and concerts. Jacksonville Beach is the perfect place for the daytime as well as night time. Visit FreeAirfareSearch.com/main for free airfare.
