We attended a field trip with our homeschool group to this museum and it was amazing! The guides were so friendly and informative. The museum was well-organized with each war/time period's items displayed professionally. They made us feel welcomed and we felt that they genuinely enjoyed showing us around and answering questions. More people should visit this museum, it is a wealth of information and memorabilia about a significant part of history.

This is hidden and winds back through the woods to the water. They have a great play area for the children that is shaded and picnic areas and walking trails. They have some great old historical buildings and homes. They have a large lawn type area with huge old trees and large metal porch type swings to look over the water and watch the sun set. We saw many families with pets and many photo ops.

Although the park is small, it is the perfect spot if you just need a quick get-away. It is a quiet, little park down SR 13 by the new community of Rivertown. It has restrooms, water fountains, doggie bags and a view of the river that is hard to beat! There are several docks (I can't remember if it's two or three) but one is very large, covered, and has a fantastic view. The name of the park is "Riverfront Park" located in Saint Johns County.

The St. Augustine Wild Reserve offers tours on an appointment-only basis. Tours are held in the afternoon, on Mon, Wed, and Sat at 2pm. Email to make reservations. Children under 5 are free. Guests will be given a guided tour of the compound by an experienced wildlife professional. An introduction to each species, basic biology, and how the species arrived at our sanctuary will be discussed in detail. Visitors will be allowed a close-up view of the exotic animals, and will be able to venture closer to adult African lions and tigers than they ever imagined. Guests will meet our amazing white tigers, orange tigers, a very rare golden tabby tiger, cougars, servals, lynxes, leopards, hyenas, coati mundis, and a host of wolves ranging in color from black to white. We feed all of the big cats on the tours, and set up a tiger bubblebath for at least one tiger. We do not allow photography, however, we do offer a fabulous photo CD for a small donation.

This is an incredible 7 acre reserve for rescued exotic wildlife. These animals ONLY have a chance at life thanks to the owner and incredible volunteer staff that run the St. Augustine Wild Reserve. You will get very close to amazing animals that you would normally never see in your life. The staff is very knowledgeable and very passionate to care for these beautiful creatures. I fell in love with each one! These animals are here due to ignorance and abuse of the worse species on the earth.. HUMANS! But there is comfort to know there are some humans that do care and make a difference. The tour is approx. 2 hours and you individual stories on each animals history, can ask questions and will leave much more educated than when you arrived. I promise you will NOT be disappointed.

The Clay County Fairgrounds host a great fair in the springtime. The Clay County Fair has a lot to offer. They have photography and art contests, pig races, rides, loads of fair food vendors, animal barns...it is a good time. Even my vegan travel companion found vegan food here. I was convinced there wouldn't be and I would never hear the end of it... but it was here (thank you ) .
There are plenty of parking spaces, admission is reasonable. If you like this sort of thing try to rope off about 2-3 hours to enjoy everything. Have a great time!

This park has a real nice little nature trail that is do-able for little ones, I wish they had left some trees for shading on the playground, as in the summer time the equipment is exposed to the full hot Florida sun and can make you feel like you are baking. Nice shaded picnic area for parties.

Reviewed By Christine M - Jacksonville, Florida, Usa
We recently went here as part of my daughter’s birthday celebration and had so much fun! We had never been and were a bit hesitant as we are not very artistic. We thought our pictures would end up looking pretty bad, but with the artist’s instruction and the other artist walking around assisting, we were actually blown away by the final result! Music is playing the whole time, you can bring your own beverages (adult or otherwise), and we stopped in the middle of our art work for a fun, group game. We had a blast!! Pictures are encouraged and it’s just a really fun way to spend a few hours. We can’t wait to go back!

I have never had a bad experience there. I go for the massage therapy and all of the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. They also run a monthly membership, which in essence is just prepaying for a massage at a discounted rate and it also allows you to add additional services throughout the month at discounted rates if you so choose. It's a really awesome deal and well worth the $50/month and for the ladies, they also offer a wide array of spa services as well.

Green Cove Springs has many springs in the park area and is located right by the St. John's River. Has a really nice dock that you can walk on, nice area with swings and all kinds of stuff for kids, a gazebo, and you'll be able to see the springs too. Nice little downtown area with plenty or restaurants and shops. Warning: be careful when driving on Route 17 as they do have many cameras that you will get a ticket if you go through a red light. Also, watch your speed as Route 17 is highly patrolled and you will get a ticket.
