 Range of the Jaguar,
Jacksonville Zoo by noidiotsplease
In addition to the animals, the zoo also features the largest thatched-roof structure in North America, Main Camp Safari Lodge, which serves as the park's entrance in addition to housing a gift shop, meeting space and party areas. When the Main Camp was built, the zoo brought in authentic Zulu craftsmen from Africa to weave the thatching by hand.
Other attractions include a narrated train tour, medical and educational facilities, boat docks and a variety of other large and small animal exhibits. Special holiday events like Spooktacular and Christmas lighting draw large crowds to the zoo after dark. Leave a Comment

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. Leave a Comment Address: 8605 Zoo ParkwayPhone: (904)757-4463Directions: Take I-95 to Heckscher Drive. Go east on Heckscher and you will see the entrance about 2 miles down on the Right (Zoo Parkway)Website: www.jaxzoo.org

The Sting Ray Exhibit is awesome, especially if you have kids. My kids loved it. They got to not only see the stingrays, but pet them as well. One note - you have to pay an additional fee to see this exhibit.
We live in the area and go to this zoo often. On this particular trip, the rhinos were fighting and the jaguar was out and active. It seems like every time we go, you get to see something new. You can see all of these animals and more in our "Our Day at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens" at http://www.armadillopepper.com. Click on the "Fun Stuff" link.
