And since making sure your kids are entertained is part of your job description you probably like to get a jump on activities early. Thankfully Jacksonville Mom has done some of the leg work for you so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the fun with your family with our things to do guide.

Whether you’re looking for a solo activity or something to do with the entire family, there are plenty of options to choose from right here in Jacksonville.
