recreational offerings. Attractions participating in the program include the Jacksonville Zoo & Botanical Gardens, Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Ritz Theatre & Museum. Special events such as the Veterans Day Parade and Light Boat Parade are also scheduled, providing additional opportunities for family fun.
Why It's Important?
The 'Kids Free November' initiative is a significant boost for Jacksonville's tourism and local economy. By making attractions more accessible, the program encourages family visits, which can lead to increased spending at local businesses.
