A Great Zoo that deserves more attention! by MatthewMetcalfe
The Jacksonville Zoo is a real Gem for the city. I had visited the city many times but had never gotten to the Zoo. I wish I had seen it earlier. The Zoo has the full Spectrum of Animals and they were building a rather large Jaguar exhibit that looked promising.
Some of the pathways are elevated boardwalks which helps with spotting the animals. They have a great exhibit on local wildlife as well.
For the kids, they have a pretty good petting zoo and the walk in bird exhibit is a riot.
