Just when we thought we had said our final goodbye last fall, there’s one more twist in the story of Adventure Landing.
After closing (and reopening… and reopening again), the Jacksonville Beach staple has announced it will be open for one more day this summer! One final chance to float the lazy river, race down the slides, and soak up every last bit of Shipwreck Island nostalgia with your crew.
No word yet on the exact date, but if history has taught us anything, it’s to stay ready. Goggles? Found. Towels? Packed. Emotional support Dippin’ Dots? Absolutely.
We’ll see you there for one last splash! Scroll down for details.

APRIL FOOLS!
We got ya… but don’t hate us! We know we made a lot of people mad last year with this joke (okay, and the year before… and the year before that), but hey, look what happened — we got more time with our beloved Adventure Landing water park! And you never know, maybe the powers that be will hear us and reopen it. (A mama can dream.) Just don’t spoil the fun in the Facebook comments section — instead, let’s keep the joke going, and share it with your friends.

Good one! As big as Jacksonville is you’d think that someone in power or that has money would bring in MORE places for families to entertain themselves! There’s only so many times you can take the family to the Zoo. Just think of all the missed opportunities we’ve had, Disney looked here first, but the powers that be said no.????
It’s so sad that they are closing the water park to build more high rise apartments. Families need this type of recreation to be be able to enjoy family time without driving out of our community to spend our money. Jacksonville needs more things to do for our growing families. Why do we want to spend our money in other counties. I’m sure there is other land available to build more apartments!
I agree 🙁 I was so excited to start take my daughter here since it’s one of the few things to do where we don’t have to drive to Orlando and now it’s going away.
1 could only hope! What a fun place to be over the summers!
