Top 10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Jacksonville, Florida (FL)

September 30, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

Although much of Jacksonville is urban, this sprawling northeastern Florida city also has nature and wildlife preserves, historic residential neighborhoods and lots of golf courses. Attractions in Jax, as the locals call it, range from art, science and history museums to a brewery tour, from the Jacksonville Landing entertainment complex, along the St. John's River, to Bronson Motor Speedway. The city's beaches offer soft sand and warm water perfect for swimming, surfing and kayaking.

This was the second time that my husband and I came for the evening feeding, and we were just as impressed as the first time we visited! We were shown a short video, then given a tour prior to the feeding, introducing us to each animal and telling us the story of how each animal came to their facility. This is an amazing place with amazing volunteers taking care of them. Catty Shack is big cat sanctuary (they have non-feline residence as well) where they will live for the rest of their lives. They are all well cared for, getting proper medical attention and as we observed, getting plenty of food supplemented with vitamins stuck into their food. We saw the owner in the cages, and in one case, petting a big cat’s head as he was feeding. Wow! This is truly a testament to the relationship he has with these wild beasts. The aggressive growls and roars around dinner time were impressive. Catty Shack was, once again, the highlight of our Jacksonville trip!

There were three of us and we were very close, but did not escape. The selection was perfect as it was in a dorm room setting, and our 23 year old grandson was visiting. Loved the company, they were very friendly and helpful.

We offer several unique experiences, all happening in a completely immersive environment. You may be in prison planning an escape, on the hunt for gold or in a museum stealing back a piece of art.

I have done over 20 escape rooms from Boston, Chicago, San Diego, and Portland, and I had the most fun here at Escape Game Jacksonville. The production quality is a huge part of what makes an escape room fun and this place has SUPER high quality rooms. I can only speak for The Heist and Gold Rush, but I suspect you'll love ANY room they have to offer. Can't wait to go back and do Prison Break!!

Escapology

The premium real life escape game franchise has made it to the First Coast! Teams of 2-8 race against the clock in one of six different themed challenging experiences. Players must work together to find clues, solve puzzles, and decode locks in order to escape. Do you have what it takes? Time is of the essence... The venue is located just south of the Avenues Mall... over the hill where Philips and Southside meet in Avenues Walk. Across from Walmart, next to Dollar Tree. Always private bookings (no strangers), minimum 2 players (others can pay separately in store), credit card only (no cash), young children require paid adult in room!

My fiancé and I love escape rooms and we have done somewhere around 15. We love to do new ones while we’re visiting places. I’m really happy we chose Escapology! Greg was our game master and he made it super fun for us. We’ll be back to play more!

Atlantic Beach

Section of beach that is flat, sandy and uncrowded. Great for surfers and kayakers.

Reviewed By T3975JVmarthab

Atlantic Beach is my favorite of the Jacksonville Beaches. It is primarily residential with the commercial property bascically clustered at the ocean and going west along Atlantic Blvd. It is a great beach to walk and sit and enjoy your own piece of heaven on earth watching and listening to the waves.
