What travelers are saying
- Kathy AFalls Church, VA19 contributionsExcellent tour given by Steve and Sue Kearney; each big cat has a story and their passion for these rescued animals was very apparent.
Highly recommend for groups and families with a special note to inquire and reserve tickets for night feedings.
Having a big cat rescue center near Fernandina Beach as well as the Jacksonville area is great for both visitors and residents.Written April 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Given it's set in tropical weather had a lot more animals that thrive in tropical weather. The art work also was very good. Very fulfilling experience overall.Written March 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Frank WilliamsNew York City, NY156 contributionsThis Museum is a must see. In Riverside area of Jacksonville, right on the St. John's River (the River flows NORTH!) . The Gardens are beautiful! The best time to view the gardens is between Mid March and December. The Cummer Oak is the Largest Live Oak you will ever see, The Garden director has done an amazing job on the gardens, including Florida Tropicals and natives. The Museum is the perfect size to see everything in a few hours. My son's love the historic posters of the South, and the Italian 1500's art. The cafe at the Museum is excellent, we always plan on Lunch there.Written February 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Valerie GNorth Port, FL216 contributionsOne of the most beautiful Florida State Parks! My kids were amazed at the natural beauty here. A wonderful place to spend the day with lots to see and explore. Would definitely recommend this spot for anyone vacationing in the area.

- alley122889Warner Robins, GA34 contributionsWhat pretty place. The grounds are as beautiful as the house. It sits on the Fort George River and (if you like to people watch) during the summer you can watch all the hundreds of boats riding out to the sandbar to party on the water. There is lots of history to learn on the grounds and even some wildlife to appreciate. Kid friendly with lots of room to release energy. It's a must.Written April 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- sheronb6137 contributionsNice little enclave and section of beach. Felt like I was in the Carribean.

- rondah290Lynn Haven, FL163 contributionsMy sister and I were visiting Jacksonville for the weekend, the market was recommended for us to visit. It was fantastic, so many vendors and food trucks.

- FrohlichsTallahassee, Florida, United States13 contributionsGreat time camping at Hanna Park. Sites are nice. Beach is great! Playgrounds are really good for kids and bike trails are plentiful.
BUT: bathrooms are terrible! Old, dirty, and basically the worse I've seen at any park. Some have really weird stalls with half walls offering no privacy. Not sure what that is all about?? They all need to be torn down and redone. Come on Duval County, spend a little money on improvements!Written April 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's also, a great place to spend some time just walking around the grounds.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VanillaAceSaint Simons Island, GA935 contributionsRecently restored to its previous grandeur. Great theater to see a concert or show. All seats have great view of the stage. Parking is nearby and liquor is served in the lobby and mezzanine.
