Delighted with the visit to this museum. It was free, but could leave a donation. There was not only a museum. There were also several buildings in the park one could visit by guided tour. Very interesting and enjoyable.

We had an awesome time at Mind Bender for a friends night out. We did the Four Kingdoms Room which is like a Game of Thrones theme. The puzzles were difficult but well thought out. The props and decor were awesome and they pay great attention to detail. We didn’t make it out in time but want to go back and try again. This would be awesome for a team building event or group work outing. You really need to work together to help solve the puzzles. We can’t wait to go back!
9. Jacksonville Beach Fishing Pier

Fishers have to pay a fee and so do walkers. This pier has been rebuilt so many times I have lost count. The next to last hurricane damaged a section, but they are in the process of refinishing. I love walking out there. Checking out what the fisher folk are catching. You got both sexes and all ages. Half the fun is identifying what everyone is catching. My Dad used to get all four of us kids walking up to everyone fishing and ask if they were keeping their catch. I am never sure if my Dad was poor or being cheap. I do remember eating catfish stew from a huge catfish head that someone gave us. Lovely views. Bird watching done as well.
