Although much of Jacksonville is urban, this sprawling northeastern Florida city also has nature and wildlife preserves, historic residential neighborhoods and lots of golf courses. Attractions in Jax, as the locals call it, range from art, science and history museums to a brewery tour, from the Jacksonville Landing entertainment complex, along the St. John's River, to Bronson Motor Speedway. The city's beaches offer soft sand and warm water perfect for swimming, surfing and kayaking.

Welcome to Rockville is an annual three day hard rock/ metal festival held at the end of April or beginning of May. This was my second festival by DWP productions. There are several high capacity hotels all within a mile of Metropolitan Park. They also provide camping and plenty of parking. I also noticed golf cart "trollies" transporting fans. There were designated areas for Uber and Lyft. In my opinion, the St Johns Water Taxi was the most convenient and most enjoyable. Round trip was $10 a person. If you are staying at any of the hotels on either side of the river, this is the way to go. I stayed at the Omni Hotel on Water St and it was a short walk to dock at Jacksonville Landing for pick up and drop off. We never waited more than 20 minutes either way. Unlike the the last DWP festival we attended, Welcome to Rockville had plenty of shade to escape to and cool off. If I had known this ahead of time I probably would not have paid the extra $250 a ticket for the VIP. The VIP area provides a tent, air conditioned bathrooms and some seating..In my opinion, its too far away from the stage and there is no where near enough seating for the number of VIP tickets they sell. This was not the case for the DWP show in North Carolina, Carolina Rebellion. Which is now Epicenter in Rockingham NC. Not sure what the conditions are in Rockingham, but the Rebellion in Charlotte was all out in the open with now where to escape the heat. VIP was worth the money for that one...Still had to sit on the ground, not enough chairs, but at least we were under a tent. So if you are going to WTR and like to be closer to the stage, don't bother with the VIP. Overall it seems like a great place for a music festival and they do a pretty good job keeping the fans in mind. Bring your wallet, every time you get a beer it will cost you $12 and the food is pretty pricey. One more tip, take clear or mesh draw string back packs, thats all you can get in with. They do require you to go through metal detector, but they do not pat you down.

we took a shuttle but there was plenty of parking (as always overpriced). Easy to get into, fast in the check in lines. Everything was clean, plenty of bathrooms and as always all concessions WAY over priced... but you can expect that anywhere

This is a fun place to catch some AA baseball for a $5.00 ticket. Military/student/senior discounts available, fair amount of seating by home plate is covered from rain/sun. Unfortunately the Jacksonville climate tends to provide heavy thunderstorms in the Summer afternoons; however if you can catch a break from the foul weather this is certainly a fun night out with the family. The Jumbo Shrimp are currently the AA affiliate for the Miami Marlins, and this ballpark has the largest center field in the league (420' home plate to center field fence)

This place is absolutely awesome! Not only do they have everyone of their current beers on tap but you can buy fresh six packs of your favorite beer right there in the bar! I went there for a networking event once and did and got a tour of the brew facility which was totally cool! As an IPAA fan I especially love I-10 which is probably their most popular beer! I highly recommend visiting the brewery, sit back at their spacious bar, get the sampler and then a pint to wash down the yummy appetizers!

Great Game. Georgia won for the fourth year in a row. I must pre-warn readers. I'm used to ATT stadium in Dallas. This is not ATT stadium. JAX people like to brag about their jumbotrons at TIAA stadium as being larger than ATT Stadium. Their jumbotrons are at both ends of the field over the upper deck seats. ATT stadium has their Jumbotron centered on the 50 yard line. It may be smaller than TIAA field, though you don't have to exercise any neck muscles to see a replay. So TIAA field was a good place to see a game, no stadium compares to JerryLand in Arlington.
