Best Things to Do With Kids in Jacksonville Beach

Family Fun in The Sun

Jacksonville Beach is a fantastic destination for families with children. With plenty of activities, attractions and fun, there’s never a dull moment in this coastal Florida city.

One of the best things to do in Jacksonville Beach with kids is visiting the Museum of Science and History (MOSH). This museum offers hands-on exhibits, interactive displays, and exciting programs for children of all ages. Whether it's learning about the environment and the animals that live in it, or discovering the history of Florida and the Jacksonville area, there's something for everyone at MOSH. Don’t miss the Bryan-Gooding Planetarium and become a space explorer for the day!

With more coastline than any other city in Florida, Jacksonville Beach is ripe for outdoor adventure. Learn to surf with Thompson Surf School and let the kids catch a wave and hang ten with the help of a qualified instructor.

Or try paddling on a kayak north of the city in South Georgia. With the St. Marys River just a short drive away, families can take a paddle trip, go dolphin watching, fishing, or simply enjoy the scenic beauty of this natural wonder.

For a truly unique experience, consider horseback riding on the beach with Amelia Island Horseback Riding. Just a short jaunt from Jacksonville Beach, this activity is a great way to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Atlantic Ocean. Horseback riding lessons are available for both kids and adults, so the whole family can learn and have fun together. With the soft sand, rolling waves, and sea breeze, horseback riding on the beach is an experience fit for the annual holiday card!

No trip to Jacksonville Beach is complete without a visit to the Adventure Landing amusement park. Zip around on go-karts, tee off for mini-golf, or spend a rainy day playing arcade games. This park has it all—including the favorite Gator Alley, where kids can feed the gators for a true taste of Florida.

Plan an unforgettable family vacation to Jacksonville Beach! Explore museums, get on the water, go horseback riding on the beach, and so much more. Pack your bags and make Margaritaville Beach Hotel Jacksonville Beach the homebase for a Jacksonville Beach vacation.
