Celebrating 10 Years, Visit Jacksonville, has this wonderful opportunity for area families to discover a variety of fun our great city has to offer.  Our favorite part of this promotion is that all of it is either free or offers deeply discounted admissions.  The catch is that the free entry or discounts only apply to kids under the age of 12 with general adult admission at participating locations but it’s still a great deal.

Katie Mitura, chief marketing officer of Visit Jacksonville said, “It’s the perfect opportunity for Jacksonville residents to invite family and friends to visit to discover what makes Jacksonville so great while exploring some of the best attractions with free or discounted admission.”

Specific details for this special month-long promotion vary by location at more than a dozen local attractions:

 

  • Adventure Kayak
  • Adventure Landing
  • Beach Life Rentals
  • Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary
  • Community First Igloo
  • Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens
  • Dave & Buster’s
  • iFLY Jacksonville
  • Jacksonville Arboretum and Gardens
  • Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
  • King Pins Bowling Center
  • Main Event
  • Mini Bar Donuts
  • Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)
  • Museum of Science & History (MOSH)
  • Sweet Pete’s

Armed with sharp instincts, an analytical mind sharper than most knives in the drawer, Teresa has became known for delivering the news with intelligence, credibility, and a touch of unshakable wit. Her most favorite experience in her media career has been delivering independent "free press" news to the world. Her traditional respect for journalistic integrity, paired with an ability to adapt to modern storytelling methods, has made her a rare kind of broadcaster/journalist and manager: someone who has honored the serious roots of journalism while still captivating today’s audiences. In a world increasingly obsessed with flash over fact, Teresa Ann Spencer was (and remains) a refreshing reminder that journalism, at its best, still demands intellect, preparation, and a strong moral compass — and she has never showed up without all three.
