Print ArticleOne thing you’ll probably never do is go bored in Jacksonville. With all the things there seem to be available to do in this city, the price tag for “fun” can start to get pretty hefty. Fear not, for not only is there lots of things to do—there’s lots of things to do for FREE. Here’s a second installment of “10 Free Things to Do in Jacksonville.”
2. Friendship Fountain
If you like pretty views, then you definitely should take a trip down to Friendship Fountain. Known as one of Jacksonville’s most recognizable attractions, the Friendship Fountain was the world’s largest fountain when it opened in 1965. Recently, Friendship Fountain underwent a three-million dollar renovation. Included in this renovation was the installation of six light towers with computer-controlled, color changing floodlights.
Friendship Fountain is ideal in location, too, as it is located right on the Southbank. So, it is a nice place to pack a picnic and enjoy the view of the river, or to go hangout and watch the light show at night. Every now and then, you can catch a special event, too.
Friendship Fountain is located at 1015 Museum Circle. For information on Friendship Fountain, you can visit jaxfountain.com or COJ.net.
