Im having fun trying out new trails & all the wildlife that comes across our path. Bring a friend, walking stick & a small bottle of water on the trails. Read the signs before your trek & enjoy the wildlife & scenery.

I came to the National Team Roping Team Finals and I think the Equestrian Center is a great facility. I wish they had an electronic board where you could follow the competition more accurately. But the experience was very good. Real cowboys and great display of skill. My wife, granddaughter and I had a great time. Awesome place to visit.

The trails are real nice. But suggestion, walk with a buddy, theres sometimes water moccasons. Too bad the centers restrooms were closed @ 5, we just needed some more water & a restroom. The equestrian center has alot to offer. You should check them out.

As part of the Alabama USAR Task force 1 we were staged here and built a base camp to live in for 4 days as we awaited possible deployment for hurricane assistance. Facility was in good shape and study. We appreciated the Jacksonville Equestrian center for giving a place to stage!

Not to bad for an old toxic waste storage facility. Kinda wondering if Ill get cancer like all the trees did. Beautiful bit of land, polluted by our lovely government. Dont let your animals eat anything off the ground out here. Seriously.

Went to the RV Show. Lovely afternoon with the Mrs. The tram driver was a super nice guy. Restrooms were clean. We drive up from Orlando over country roads. Mostly its just a nice day out all around :-)

This is a beautiful location and always has so many fun things happening. Our latest fun experience was to visit the RV show. Lots of relevant vendors inside, and dreamy TVs from truck campers to pull behind and fifth wheel trailers and stunning motorized TVs that I could live in.Lots of friendly folks, happy crowds, lively music.Great sale prices.This venue is perfect with parking, food vendors and places to sit and rest.Dogs allowed.

Went with my grandson to watch the 17th annual barrel racing, called Fiddler Turkey Trot. Watched these amazing women and horses compete against each other and the clock. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Next weekend is the dog agility trials, which I saw once before and can highly recommend.

Attended a Clinton Anderson seminar. The facility is well constructed, and there wasnt a bad seat in the house. Overall everything was clean and orderly. The food served at concessions was from a catering company and was less than desirable with slices of processed meat thrown on a pile of iceberg lettuce and called a chef salad. Parking was convenient and easy to get in and out of with a standard truck (no trailer).

Only issue there was there was no one there to help guide you to where things were. It was more like figure it out yourself. Which was a not aggravating we missed some of the show

Brought the grandaughters here to let them see the horses and the cows..... they had a blast. They picked out their favorite horses... which was basically all of them. They got to pet one. They loved it, now they want one. They talked their daddy into buying them each a rope, where they proceeded to rope grandpa! Then got home and practiced again on our St Betnard. He ran, they chased, he lapped them several times.True cowgirls in the making.

Great venue the only down fall for the rodeo is they did not have enough people working the gate and not enough bars open.

We went to see the circus but had a terrible experience and my 7 year old daughter who was really excited to go for the very first time ended up crying and traumatized about the whole experience. She kept looking at the man behind the counter give rude responses to anyone who asked him and said she didnt want to go on because the circus is scary and the people are mean.Just fiveinutes after paying $120 for 4 adults (2 elders one of which is still recovering from cancer surgery) we 2ere told they could not refund is even though the elevator was broken and the place did not have a handicap ramp. We also had a stroller with a newborn yet none of this meant anything to them. Needles to say I took it up with my bank and filed a claim.

Love this place for multiple reasons. I play Pokemon Go and the area is good to slow drive and/or walk around and enjoy it! Great place to see a good rodeo! Kids learn to swim well in the indoor pool on the opposite building

Absolutely the best place to meet and ride horses and they sometimes have other events like the RV Show we attended this weekend. Were looking for a new Toyhauler and they had several examples to tour but I had missed one that I had wanted to checkout the Jayco Seismic but I believe that the Momentum has the vote!

One Star for enabling the worst circus experience on the planet. This is a money grab plain and simple and not a good experience for the customers. $10 to park, $7 drinks, $7 for 3-minutes in a bounce house, $20 popcorn, and $21 for a short ride on the saddest looking elephant. The few talented acts were overshadowed by cheap gimmicks. To make even more money, they give you and your bored children a 30 minute intermission to go waste more money on outrageously priced junk and experiences. This is an absolute joke of a circus and the equestrian center should not allow them back.

Center is nice...RV show is a joke. Seems to be only a few dealers and very few vendors. Maybe the RV Show died...and some forgot to tell them....... not worth it. Not even at half price. Free would be expensive.

The facility itself is nice, open, and airy. It is well maintained and for the most part, kept pretty clean. Ample parking, but only one way in and one way out which causes a big pile up at the end of your event! Theres usually a parking attendant to collect money for the space, but never anyone directing traffic out, so it is really a free-for-all. And it doesnt help that there are multiple venues in this complex, all merging to one lane trying to exit, creating a long, backed up line. Plus its located directly off a busy highway, so each car takes time to pull out or cut across into traffic.They do host some pretty cool events, but I was very disappointed in the Garden Bros Circus. They pass out free tickets and do multiple shows at this venue, but it is clearly a money grab once you get there. Kids are free, but adult tickets go up to $30 each, parking was $10 per car, $10 for each bounce house entry and each pony ride, and the concession prices were seriously inflated! Were talking $12 each for popcorn, cotton candy, and funnel cakes. I realize alot of circuses have high prices for stuff, but this was ridiculous and the circus performance wasnt even worth the price. The circus is very small compared to the size of the venue, so that was a bit awkward. I didnt want to hold this too much against the actual venue, but hey, they booked these people and made serious money from it as well, so they are part of the problem.

Went to the dog agility championships to watch. The RV spots had 30 amp hookups, sewer and water. No cable tv or wifi available. I was getting 150mbps on the ATT network so none of that mattered. Local channels came in great using powered antenna. All TV spots were pull thru which was nice. We had a power problem and called the service people and they were out to fix the problem in minutes.

Nice showground just on the edge of Jacksonville, Fl. Friendly, welcoming people good surfaces to test on and work-in before tests. Loads of parking, concessions, bathrooms, even showers and spaces for overnight camping, tents or camper vans. Stabling at an additional charge. Sign posting of entrance not too good but nice layout once you get your bearings.

The center is large and accomodating. The time i visited there was 2 different activities going on at the same time.The horse stalls are a nice size with many in number. There also are wash racks at the end of each row of stalls.Plenty parking for motor homes, horses trailers, etc.The arena is very large with a large amount of seating. Concession stand is also on the premises.

The Center hosts the Florida RV Show. Its fun to go and look through all the RVs, seeing all the new layouts and accessories for RV living and camping. They have food and drinks, places to sit awhile, and clean bathrooms. Loads of parking and plenty of help if you have any problems. I go every year.

I go swimming here. I give it four stars because it is an indoor pool. The life guards are either in the chairs watching closely or in a part of the pool doing refresher lessons to keep their staff up to date on how to save lives. On premises is a baseball field, a place for horse riding or spectating of an event is happening. They offer swim lessons and swim bonding for moms, dads and babies. I could only imagine several food trucks and more people to make this place really pop in regards to simple down to earth spend time not money fun with your family.
