Things To Do In Jacksonville Before Or After The Gator Bowl

My favorite travel message board that I belong to is tripadvisor.com

I've posted the link to JAX but you 'may' have to register to visit but it has always been free. In fact, they send me travel related 'stuff' when I provide reviews of my trips.

Jax residents appear to be very active on here and they offer up a lot of suggestions/recomendations. There wasn't ONE caveat about 'safety concerns'. In fact they encourage walking around downtown.

I wish I was going!

sorry..the link wouldn't go directly to the forum pages so please cut/paste the address:

Been to the Landing a cuople of times, if you like drinking and looking at babes then be there. Also a pretty area on the St. Johns river

I went to watch CU play FSU in Jacksonville back in September and hung out all day at The Landing. It is pretty much a congregation of restaraunts and bars with several outdoor kiosks serving up your favorite beverage. You can take launches or busses from the landing to the stadium as well.

I'm staying at the Hampton directly across from DT and about 3 blocks from the river- is the Landing on the other side (DT) of the river?
