The Jacksonville Zoo has gotten better over the years with the expansion of the grounds and addition of new exhibits. I haven't been there in a while but from what I remember, it is definitely worth a visit. I hear that there is now a jaguars exhibit -- appropriate since the city is home to a football team bearing the same name. My kids were young when we frequented the zoo but now that they're a bit older and understand more about animals, I think they would enjoy coming here. As always when visiting a park where a lot of walking is required, wear good shoes, and don't forget the sunscreen, water, and camera.
