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

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.

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.

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.

Great Staff

Anonymous, Minneapolis, MN

Not a child friendly place to stay. Nothing for them to do.

The staff at the Omni Hotel were absolutely wonderful. The hotel is in a seedy area of town. The dining facilities were less than desirable at the hotel and surrounding the hotel. You didn't want to be out walking at night. The room wasn't the cleanest. They didn't dust the window ledges and didn't seem to have vacuumed the entire time we were there. The same piece of plastic was on the floor the entire time we were there which was 4 days. The pool was dirty. The bed was comfortable and the furniture in the room was very nice and kept up. The bathroom was a good size. You have to park in a parking ramp which costs you extra.

beautiful and convenient

Irene, Jacksonville, FL

Be sure to have breakfast in the hotel - very good food and delightful surroundings.

The Omni staff was helpful, the food was delicious, and the location across the street from the Performing Arts Center was perfect.

takes pets!

Bonnie, Columbia, SC, 2006-02-19

Close to waterfront,very nice staff. One thing I really liked was the room service and no ticket to sign and no one standing there for more money---I had rather pay the 22% rather than the 17% some hotels charge than have to bother with adding MORE money!

Great Getaway

Mamie, Savannah, GA, 2006-02-04

There are some great places that are really close by! Shops, dinning, and nightly entertainment. It is well worth the stay no matter how long you are in Jacksonville!

We only stayed for a night but we had a great time! The room was very nice and the price was great! The hotel staff were very friendly. The next time we are in Jacksonville we plan to stay at the same hotel again! We have stayed at a few other hotels and so far non of them can compair to the Omni!

Modern and Upscale

Anonymous, Sarasota/Bradenton, FL, 2005-12-28

The Landing, which is across the street has great restaurants and a few shops. The water taxi is very accessible if you want to cross the river.

I would highly recommend this hotel. We have stayed at the Hyatt nearby and I much preferred the Omni. It is set a block back from the water, but is easy walking distance to everything. The rooms are very nice and have a modern design. The furnishings are new and they have comforters instead of the standard flower bed spread.

Everything but the room service was good. Room service was slow and they brought the wrong order.

Grreat location

Anonymous, Newark, NJ, 2005-07-25

Park your own car; the parking garage is feet away and if you'll be coming and going all day, it"s cheaper.

Directly across from Jacksonville Landing: Downtown, great restaurants, shopping and the beautiful water, all within walking distance!!!!

Convenient Location, Upgraded Rooms

Aubrey, Jacksonville, FL, 2005-07-04

We found the Omni to be very conveniently located, and our room was very much upgraded from the last time we stayed there. The food service could be improved.
