Grouper Shack - Jacksonville Beach

A playground by a stocked lake with a fishing pier and boardwalk, so you can pair the swings with a bit of fishing.

Burgers and shakes with outdoor seats for after the beach, and Tootsie Pops come with the check.

A calm play studio just for ages four and under: themed pretend-play rooms, a treehouse and a climbing area. Grown-ups wear socks.

Homemade waffle cones, a long list of flavors and a kid-size scoop for smaller appetites.

A smooth, circular concrete course where beginners and scooter kids find their feet, with a snake run and bowls for the ones who already have.

Separate areas for toddlers and older kids, a shaded cabana in the middle for you, and a splash pad when it's running.
