Things to Do in Jacksonville
Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary
The mission of this non-profit organization is a noble one - to educate the
public on the dangers of owning big cats as pets and on
threats to the cats from changing weather patterns, environmental pollution, diminishing habitats, and human hunters. None
of the animals living here have ever been bought, sold, or
traded; they have all been brought here (mostly by owners who couldn�t care
for them properly). You and the kids can see some of the world�s most
exotic - and wild - cats up close, in their own habitats. Residents of the
sanctuary include lions, tigers, cougars, leopards, bobcats, foxes, and
coatimundis (which are not big cats, but members of the raccoon family,
with very long snouts). One of the best things about this place, however,
is its employees - not one of them is paid for their work. They do it out
of love.
Museum of Science and History
If you love seeing your child�s face light up with wonder, visit the Museum
of Science and History (MOSH). Originating in an old Victorian home in
1941, this museum has since grown into one of the finest in Florida, with
an outstanding collection of� Signature Exhibits� and traveling ones. These
exhibits range from historic looks at Northeast Florida to revealing
glimpses of future technology and communications as well as energy and
ecosystems. There�s a peaceful courtyard with native plants, and an
interactive play area for younger children. Kids of all ages will love the
Space Science Gallery and the Bryan-Gooding Planetarium. At MOSH, it won�t
be just the kids' faces lighting up with wonder � yours will, too.
Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
Sitting on the edge of the Trout River, about 7 miles north of downtown
Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is a must if you are
visiting the city with kids. This facility is the only walking safari in
northeast Florida; you are invited to wander the grounds, where you will
find opportunities to get up close and personal with animals like giraffes,
great apes, big cats and elephants. The sprawling grounds also house
Stingray Bay (where you can try your hand at feeding stingrays) and the
ever-popular Play Park and Splash Ground (where you can cool off after a
day in the Florida heat). While you are here, take a spin on the Zoo Train
- recent visitors say that kids are bound to love it. �The train gives a
great behind the scenes view of some of the facilities and the new Asian
Bamboo Garden is breathtaking.
