You’ll especially love Jacksonville if you’re a beer drinker! Take a free 30-minute tour of the massive Jacksonville facility that brews Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob, Busch and O’Douls. After the tour you can enjoy two free glasses of beer. But be sure to bring a jacket or sweater. Things can get a little chilly – the beer ferments in a 45-degree chamber. |

The city's climate is subtropical, but tends to be cooler than the Florida peninsula to the south. Winters can be marked by spells of cold weather, and limited snow or ice occur once every few years but outdoor events and sports outings can be comfortably accommodated year round. |

Boca, like so many South Florida locales, was once a major player in the theme park game. Back in the 1950s, the town was home to Africa U.S.A., a compound devoted to wildlife from the Dark Continent. On 300 acres, jungle vegetation and water features were installed, and native animals were collected from Africa and shipped to Florida to live in a natural, cageless environment. |
