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.

Jacksonville Landing
Resembling New York City's South Street Seaport, Boston's Faneuil Hall, Miami's Bayside, and Baltimore's Inner Harbor, this glass-and-steel complex on the north bank of the river serves as the focus of downtown activity. Yeah, you may see a mime or two occasionally, and there's a Hooters, a Ruby Tuesday, and a Starbucks, but there's also amazing local live music, good non-chain sushi, and Thai and Mexican restaurants. Unlike those in other cities, this complex is not just for tourists -- it's command central for many locals looking for a lively day or night out. There are more than 65 stores here, but shopping is secondary to the dining and entertainment. You can choose from a half-dozen full-service restaurants, plus an inexpensive food court with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the river. The Landing is the scene of numerous special events, ranging from arts festivals to baseball-card shows, plus outdoor rock, blues, country, and jazz concerts on weekends. Call or check the website to find out what's going on during your stay.

Southbank Riverwalk
Bordering the St. Johns River, directly opposite Jacksonville Landing , this 1 1/4-mile wooden zigzag boardwalk is usually filled with joggers, tourists, folks sitting on benches, and lovers walking hand-in-hand, all of them watching the riverboats, the shorebirds, and downtown's skyline reflected in the water. At 200 feet in diameter, the Friendship Fountain, near the west end, is the nation's largest self-contained fountain; it's especially beautiful at night when illuminated by 265 colored lights. Nearby, you'll pass military memorials, a small museum dedicated to the city's history, and the Museum of Science & History of Jacksonville (MOSH), at Museum Circle and San Marco Boulevard (tel. 904/396-6674; www.themosh.org). MOSH is an interactive children's museum focusing on the science and history of Northeast Florida. One of its stars is an Allosaurus dinosaur skeleton. It also has a small planetarium, with shows included in museum admission: $7 for adults, $5.50 for seniors, and $5 for children 3 to 12. The museum is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, Saturday from 10am to 6pm, and Sunday from 1 to 6pm. The Riverwalk is the scene of special MOSH programs, seafood fests, parties, parades, and arts-and-crafts festivals.

My review of Americas Best Inns Jacksonville

Anonymous, Orlando, FL, 2006-09-19

We found a Denny6's and there were numerous other spots right nearby.

It was okay but somewhat run-down. There was a bit of a musky odor. The check-in clerk told us that there were a number of construction workers staying there and she moved us to the front room with a king size bed at the queen size price. So we did get our monies worth. However when we arrive there was a police car setting at the back of the complex. I wasn't sure if that was a good sign or a bad sign. There was no dining at the hotel. However there was a Denny's just across the side road, with some of the best servers ever.

Good value for the money

David, 2006-06-21

Numerous eating establishments nearby -- the typical fare, from elegant or casual sit down service to fast food. If you like Indian cuisine -- and I do -- The India Restaurant (2 miles east on Baymeadows Rd.)has a wonderful buffet for every palate -- from the vegetarian to the carnivore -- from the mildly seasoned to the volcanic. Cheap, too.

Americas Best Inns Jacksonville, Jacksonville, FL. It is a bare bones type of establishment with very few amenities --- no dining facilities, no pool, fitness center, business center, or free newspaper or breakfast that I could detect. But I knew that coming in and it was clean and comfortable and the staff went out of their way to be accomodating. I was there for an all-day conference meeting and then out of there. So it was definitely good value for the money. For the price, you could not have matched it with one that had above mentioned amenities. Think of it as Sleep and Go.
