Then make your way to Jacksonville Beachs Adventure Landing Amusement Park. Go from dry to wet to dry all at the same place. Go down the crazy slides, make your way through Shipwreck Island or experience a tube ride like youve never seen before. Dry off at the go-karts, batting cages or in the arcade, which has over 100 games. You could even try your luck at the laser tag area. This fun zone is a great way to cool off from the Florida sun.

So there you have it. Whether its surfing or fishing, zoos or museums, water parks or waterways, Jacksonville is a great place to enjoy the Florida weather and the beautiful Florida scenery.
