Jacksonville's city-run mini water park goes beyond a basic splash pad with two water slides, a water tunnel, umbrella-shaped rain-drop showers and a kids-only tea cup feature. One of its two pools is just 30 inches deep, sized for beginners, and both day and season passes are sold.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Jacksonville average 93°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
