A zoo day. An afternoon discovering art. A scavenger hunt with a sweet reward. November is a great excuse to put a few Jacksonville adventures on the calendar—and make your outing budget go a little further.
From November 1–30, 2026, Visit Jacksonville’s Kids Free November brings free and discounted offers to participating attractions and local businesses. Each location sets its own terms, so “kids free” can mean anything from complimentary admission with a paying adult to a treat with a purchase. Explore the official 2026 offers.
At ONE Florida Group, we love helping people discover the everyday experiences that make Northeast Florida feel like home. Whether you already live here or are exploring the area before a move, here are some outings to consider this month.

iFLY Jacksonville offers one child a complimentary two-flight package with the purchase of a full-priced package.

Group reservations and other offers cannot be combined with it; additional restrictions apply. iFLY booking details.
Keep the planning simple
Choose one main activity, leave space for a snack or a break, and check the venue’s hours before leaving home. Confirm which children qualify, whether an adult purchase is required, and whether you need to reserve ahead. Budget separately for extras such as food, parking, rentals, or upgraded experiences where applicable.
Save the official Kids Free November guide and revisit your chosen offer before heading out. Holiday hours, availability, and attraction-specific requirements can affect your plans.
Discover more of the place you call home
A local outing can turn into a new tradition—or introduce you to a part of Northeast Florida you have yet to explore. Start with one adventure this month and see where it takes you.
