During your Jacksonville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
Another city, another zoo. But this isn't just any zoo. Located between downtown and the airport, this environmentally sensitive zoo is well on its way to becoming one of the Southeast's best. While the zoo's Wild Florida area presents local fauna -- including black bears, red wolves, Florida panthers, and alligators -- the main exhibits feature an extensive and growing collection of lions, rhinos, elephants, antelopes, cheetahs, western lowland gorillas, and other African wildlife. You'll enter the 73-acre park through an authentic thatched roof built in 1995 by 24 Zulu craftsmen. Whether you go on foot or by tram, allow at least 3 hours to tour this vast zoo. Upon your arrival, ask about current animal shows and special events. Strollers and wheelchairs are available for rent. The newest attraction, Range of the Jaguar, opened in 2004 to the tune of $15.4 million. The exhibit focuses on a neotropical rainforest setting that can be found in Central or South America. Although this attraction spotlights the jaguar, you will also see other animals such as golden lion tamarins, tapirs, capybaras, giant river otters, anteaters, and a variety of bird, amphibian, fish, and reptile species including the anaconda.

Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens
Built on the grounds of a private Tudor mansion, this modestly sized but impressive museum is worth a visit for anyone who appreciates the visual arts. The permanent collection encompasses works from 2000 B.C. to the present. It's especially rich in American Impressionist paintings, 18th-century porcelain, and 18th-century Japanese woodblock prints. Personally, I find the art here a bit boring and too focused on landscapes, but that's my taste. Frankly -- and art snobs may gasp at this statement -- the actual landscaping of the museum is infinitely more spectacular. Don't miss the stunning Italian and English gardens set on the scenic St. Johns River. The museum hosts temporary and traveling exhibits and sponsors a multitude of activities during the year, so call ahead to see what's happening.

Ritz Theatre & LaVilla Museum
From 1921 to 1971, the Ritz Theatre was the center of cultural life in LaVilla, an African-American neighborhood so vibrant that it was known as the Harlem of the South. Many entertainers played the Ritz before moving on to the Apollo Theater in the real Harlem. Most of LaVilla's small, clapboard "shotgun" houses (so called because you could fire a shotgun through the central hallway to the back room and not hit anything) have been torn down in anticipation of urban renewal, but the Ritz has been rebuilt and is once again a center of the city's cultural life. Only the northwest corner of the building, including the Ritz sign, is original, but the new 426-seat theater captures the spirit of vaudevillian times. Off the lobby, LaVilla Museum recounts local African-American history and exhibits the works of black artists.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Jacksonville area, including:

Sea Turtle Inn
Completely gutted and restored in 1999 and 2000, this elegant, eight-story beachfront hotel (whose exterior facade could use some updating to match the lovely interior) is much more upscale than the Sea Horse Oceanfront Inn, which it faces across Atlantic Boulevard. (Despite their shouting-distance proximity, one technically is in Atlantic Beach, the other in Neptune Beach.) The guest units are spacious except for their somewhat cramped bathrooms. The best units, few in number, face the beach and have balconies. Plantains Restaurant is a fine spot for an alfresco beachside meal; it offers live music on weekends. There's also a lounge in the restaurant and a summertime Tiki bar beside the pool by the beach.

Plantation Manor Inn
The setting for many weddings and special events, this plantation-style B&B in the historic Riverside district is blocks from the river, 10 minutes from downtown, and a short drive to Avondale's shopping and dining. Its homey interior features a mix of thrift-store antiques, glossy pine floors, gorgeous cypress paneling, wainscoting, and carved moldings. Breakfast, which includes freshly baked muffins and breads, is served in a lovely dining room with a working fireplace. If the sun is shining, take your morning meal on the brick patio, a delightful setting with ivy-covered walls, flower beds, and garden furnishings under the shade of a massive oak tree. The patio also contains a lap pool and whirlpool spa. On the second floor, you can enjoy a big wraparound porch with seating amid potted geraniums, hibiscus, and bougainvillea. All but one of the rooms here have shower-only bathrooms.

The House on Cherry Street
This colonial-style wood-frame house, on the St. Johns River in the Riverside neighborhood, is ideal for a romantic vacation. French doors open onto a delightful screened-in porch furnished with rocking chairs; it overlooks an expanse of tree-shaded lawn (where guests play croquet) leading to the river (where they play with kayaks and canoes). You might go for the Rose Room or the Duck Room, each with canopied four-poster bed and river view. Ducks are rather a theme here, with hundreds of antique decoys on display. All units offer adjacent sitting rooms, private bathrooms, ceiling fans, and fresh flowers. No smoking is permitted inside. This place gets booked up fast, so make reservations as early as possible.
