Kids get free admission in November at 17 Jax attractions

Children get free admission in November to 17 local attractions as varied as the Museum of Science & History to the Jacksonville Arboretum, the zoo and the Ritz Theatre and Museum.

Children who participate in Visit Jacksonville’s Kids Free November initiative also can win a prize if they visit 10 or more attractions in the month.

Jacksonville Today thanks our sponsors. Become one.

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.
