[2025 Jacksonville Attraction] Travel Guide for Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens (Updated Mar)

Beautiful day at the zoo! ##summerbreak Jax zoo is located near the International Airport of Jacksonville- it is mostly opened everyday and they sell yearly pass or single tickets - the price of a ticket is around 25 dollars per person. Parking is definitely not an issue since there is a big parking and children under 2 years are free. It usually opens around 9am and closes at 5pm. my favorite time of the year to go to the zoo is during winter time since it is not really hot outside and they usually have some events going on especially during Christmas time I believe they lights up the light and the whole zoo is illuminated. You can feed the 🦒 and spend some time playing with them as long as you don’t touch them, they are really fun and friendly.

Great day and so many beautiful animals! #fallingforfall #tripblazers #mytripvlog #beachlife

#myhiddengems I had a fantastic day at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida! 🦓 Located just a short drive from downtown, this zoo offers a rich blend of wildlife and lush landscapes. The entrance fee was about $22 for adults, which I felt was a great deal for the range of exhibits and experiences available. The “Wild Florida” section was a highlight, showcasing native species like Florida panthers and black bears. 🐾 I also loved the “Range of the Jaguar” exhibit, where I saw magnificent jaguars and other exotic animals. 🐆 The zoo’s beautiful botanical gardens provided a serene backdrop to my visit, with walking paths through vibrant plant displays and peaceful water features. The “African Savanna” area was another favorite, with giraffes and rhinos in expansive habitats. After exploring the zoo, I enjoyed a leisurely walk through the nearby historic district of Riverside, which is full of charming shops and cafes. Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is perfect for a fun and educational day out! #trip #JacksonvilleZoo #WildFlorida #BotanicalGardens #AfricanSavanna #ExploreJacksonville
