This is worth a visit if you are in the area. It's near the Everbank Jaguar Stadium and St John's River in the downtown northside community. Give it a try if you have kids. There is a nice children's park on the same side of the street!

We stopped by while we were waiting for the rest in our group to finish lunch. It was very cool to walk around and see all the old fire stuff. There were several kids with us and they really enjoyed it as well.

It is worth the trip to stop at the Jacksonville Fire Museum. We were spellbound by the story of the Jacksonville Fire, which we'd never heard of. The equipment there is amazing.

Museum website says they're open Monday-Friday 9-5, we showed up yesterday (Wednesday at noon) and the gate was shut, I called, and no one answered.

The kids loved looking at the old engines. Interesting info on the great fire of 1901.
