Great place with great memories since childhood. Adjacent to the MOSH. This classic, colorful, water spray fountain is an enduring public space to relax and view the downtown skyline. Ironically close to the river itself, which is yet another water feature, to be admired along the Downtown Jacksonville River Walk!
Absolutely the coolest most prettiest fountain I've ever seen. Love the music as well. Very very nice, definitely worth going again and again and again.
Cool fountain on the st John waterfront. Pics are of the waterfront. Oh, the fountain lights up if you're into that. Safe, clean area.

KINGSLEY PLANTATION REVIEWS
What an incredible walk through history, we have learned a lot. Everything is super well taken care of. There are informative audios and readings and a park ranger willing to answer your questions, very friendly. You can come with the whole family and have a good day, there are benches to enjoy the views of the river and large green areas where children can play. Highly recommended, it was well worth every last minute here. It is inside the Fort George Island Cultural State Park.
This was a great outing with the family. A major kudos to the park ranger who sits in the house. He was such a bucket of information. There is no way to learn it all in ten minutes, but you could definitely listen to him for hours. I highly recommend this place whether you drive in, or kayak in. If you kayak, make sure to avoid the low tide... Don't get stuck like I almost did a few years ago haha. Anyway, a great place to bring a lunch and take in some history. To reflect on where we have been and where we are going.
Very nice place to bring the family and learn not just a little of Florida history but the darker side of our history here in the south. Very happy things aren't this way anymore. Very informative and very eye-opening none the less. Would love to come on a day when they do the tours. They also have kayak tie offs and boat dock in the rear of the peoperty.

FORT CAROLINE NATIONAL MEMORIAL REVIEWS
This was very fun to explore! My family and I used the online tour guide that explains the history of the monument in great detail, adding plenty of anecdotes along the way. It was very interesting! Our entry was free for the whole family as a part of the junior ranger program. I definitely recommend!
We went there almost 2 hours before they closed with the intention of going on. A brief walk but we got caught up reading about the history that is within the little museum that they got and it was so captivating an intriguing that we will have to come back to do the actual walk in. Overall everything is well displayed and inform. It is really interesting to know about the Timuacan tribes
Beautiful and relaxing to explore the fort and take a walk. It’s one of the only places in the area you can hike and get a small elevation change, so it feels like more exercise than the usual flat Florida trail.
