    Fantastic time at Catty Shack Ranch. The animals were easy to see and you have opportunities to get close. The big cats are beautiful. The grounds are clean. The staff takes all the time you need to answer your questions. Highly recommend this adventure.

    The staff was kind, informative and patient (even when we came in with two boys who were stir crazy from a long drive.) We loved the kid’s area and gardens. The kids were too boisterous for the art collection, but from what I saw it was amazing! It was money well-spent and I plan to come back (when kids are calm.)

    What a great find this was! We were in town for a show and decided to stay a few days. This place was awesome and rich in history. The remains of the slave cabins were incredible and in good shape. The downloadable audio tour was a great bonus! No charge to come see this gem of a site!

    this is a great place to shop. You can find anything that you are looking for. I went through many of the stores and found everything that I was looking for. It is clean and neat and the restrooms were very nice.

    I went to the beach for the day. I walked about 1/2 mile down the beach from the main parking and was all by myself. There's nothing there but beach and nature, so if that's what you're looking for then it's 5/5. Bring bug spray! Even on the beach little biting flies drew blood. But it was awesome to basically have the place to myself.
    Remember, it's florida so best to have a tent / canopy / umbrella to block the sun. And lots of sunscreen. And water. It's hot out there and there is no relief. It's just you and the beach.

    Pretty cool (and different) beach....loads and loads of trees washed up on the beach that are cool to look at with their root balls still attached and clean.

    Great location - shielded from the sun (under the overpass); wonderful variety of vendors (food and other merchandise); very nice addition to our weekend plans.

    I'll definitely return when I'm in Jacksonville 😊

    My husband and I visited when in Jacksonville for the Mayo Clinic. We visited to picnic and check out the campground. Even though it began storming we enjoyed our visit. Easy and pretty walkways out to the beach. Well kept. We look forward to returning to camp.

    Nice little enclave and section of beach. Felt like I was in the Carribean. The retail restaurant section of the beach called beaches Towne Center was very upscale, clean and had a Carribean Bahama village feel.

    Spectacular views of the river and city line. Level pavement shared by walkers, cyclists. and joggers. Benches throughout. Finding parking was challenging. Walking under bridge was fascinating.
