Jered And Carly’s Downtown Jax Guidebook
Cool things to do
The Jacksonville Zoo is amazing. We have been to many different zoos around the country and this is our favorite. We love how the environment is so natural with gardens intertwined with the exhibits. In addition to normal zoo activities, it has a cool place that serves local craft beer overlooking the river. Only a short 10 minute drive from the place.
