We are staying in the city. We have been to St. Augustine, we live near the beach now and I have been to Jax Beach several times.

What should I do with 2 kids? My youngest is 7

Thanks,

Why? Down town? Nothing really to do with kids unless there is a ball game or concert and really not walkable from the hotels to the venues.
I see a cross country event around Oct. 31, if you are doing this one then our zoo has a well put together Halloween event that is fun for everyone.
Go Karts-Autobahn indoor karting.
Fly Away Indoor Skydiving
Topgolf ??
Callahan Fair Oct. 9-19.
Greater Jacksonville Fair Nov. 6-16.

Bro


Don’t stay in the city


One Ocean is awesome
There’s a couple hotels on the beach on Jax Beach by the pier

Or go north a little and stay in Amelia, bunch of cool properties up there. Quiet

As far as doing. Zoo is pretty cool. There is a good art thing downtown. Little Talbot island has boneyard beach. If you stay in Jax Beach cool kids park is Sunshine Park. adventure island is less than so-so. Beach bowl is a good time. There are some huge kid play areas in town.

Did you change your mind on staying in the city?
I saw your "Food and Drink" board request for where to eat in Fernandina-Amelia Island, figured you may be staying in Fernandina now.
