Visit Jacksonville’s initiative is designed to encourage families to explore local attractions this fall. The free admission is available for children ages 3 to 12, with a paid adult entry. Promotional rates apply only to general admission and do not include daily shows, special programming or events. The discounts are good through Nov. 30.

Each attraction has a specific deal — the full list participating can be found here. For example, MOSH allows up to five children to be admitted free with each adult admission to the museum, including its latest traveling exhibition, Animation Academy. 

Children who make visits with family or guardians also can try Visit Jacksonville’s Kids Free November Challenge. Each attraction will have its own unique QR code that the child needs to scan in the app for the objective to be completed. Complete 10 objectives by visiting 10 attractions and receive a prize from Visit Jacksonville.
