Things To Do
Silver Glen Springs Recreation Area
You wont believe this is Florida! Possible due to an an underground spring that produces crystal clear fresh water at a year-round tempurature of 72 degrees, it is a beauty. Warm in the winter & cool in the summer - a safe haven for manatees. We will be renting pontoon boats for a trip here on Saturday morning. The boat leaves early, or you can meet us by car at the State Park. If you'd like to join, please RSVP as early as possible so we know how many vessels we will need (Keep in mind this is a holiday weekend and sure to be busy).
Saint Augustine Distillery
Sample local spirits, and take the tour to see how Florida does it. Be sure to exit through the gift shop!
San Sebastian Winery
Great local wine and awesome roof top deck to enjoy!
Prohibition Kitchen
Just down the street from the venue! Truly a gem in the historic downtown of St. Augustine - a prohibition-era themed pub. Serving hand crafted cocktails by rustic bartenders and a surprising menu. Pro Tip: Check out the bathroom sinks.
Matanzas Inlet
Great beach to check out. White sand inlet that offers some great east and west beach views. Be cautious of rip-current if you are on the east side. Also, if boating - follow the markers because it is never the same depth pattern twice.
Saint George Street
The church Street of St Augustine! Just steps from the venue, this is a pedestrian-only cobble street lined with restaurants, shops, and all the oddities of this historic area.
St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park
What would Florida be without some Gators?! Come check out the live feedings. So many cool exhibits and St. Augustine history.
Topgolf
Northern Florida showcases some of the world's premier golf courses and is home of The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedre, FL each year. Even if you are not much of a golfer, Topgolf is a great place to go have some fun. This is like a driving range on steroids! You rent a bay by the hour on one of the three levels and aim for targets, or just send it bud. There are sensors in the balls that report information back to your bay about your distance, swing, and accumulates points, so there is always betting and lots of trash talk. Food and drink service delivered right to your bay.
Autobahn Indoor Speedway & Events - Jacksonville, FL
Indoor go karts!
Daytona International Speedway
About an hour south of St. Augustine. If you're a NASCAR fan (I'm talkin' to you, Rotaxs'), you gotta check it out. It's Daytona Baby!
Cape Canaveral - Kennedy Space Center
Every manned mission to space has departed from NASA Kennedy Space Center. 2 hours South of St. Augustine and totally worth the trip. Check out Kennedy Space Center. Favorite Exhibit: A preserved control room just as it was in the 1960's - complete with cigarettes still in the ashtrays! You may even catch a SpaceX launch.
Classic Car Museum of St. Augustine
Such a cool local museum with all eras of cars. Also check out their 'Cars & Coffee' event on Saturday May 27th, starting at 8:00am. You can check out the museum AND all of the amazing classic Florida rides the locals drove there. You won't find a speck of rust. VERY COOL!
Marineland Dolphin Adventure
Ever dream of being a dolphin trainer like Ariel? Here's your chance! Check out a show or book a dolphin adventure.
Get Up And Go Kayaking - Weeki Wachee
Kayaking among Florida's shady springs. Monkeys, Gators, Manatees, and plenty of fish. You can even check it out from a clear-bottom kayak!
Ponce De Leons's Fountain of Youth
Yes, the actual one! The Legend: "A Taino Indian legend about a spring that was said to exist on the island of Bimini and a river, in what became known as Florida that would restore youth to those who bathed in their waters."
St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum
Also close to venue, fun place for kids with interactive exhibits and a lot of cool history about St. Augustine's first inhabitants.
Universal Studios Florida
Theme Park for the film lovers. Interactive rides and attractions. Not as big or busy as Disney World but adults and kids will love it. A great day-trip.
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Jacksonville
Don't worry - you don't have to jump out of a perfectly good airplane here. Indoor skydiving in a giant wind tunnel.
Potter's Wax Museum
Kinda cool. Kinda creepy!
The Conch House Restaurant
A 'must-see' while in St. Augustine. Have dinner and drinks in a bungalow over the water, then head down the dock to the bar. Carribean-style food and great place for oysters.
Mojo Old City BBQ
If you don't try the BBQ, did you even really visit the south? This place rocks - the 'Burnt Ends' and 'Pit Smoked Wings' are a must and wash it down with a pineapple pain killer.
Salt Life Food Shack
Cool place across from the beach that often has live music. Burgers, tacos, and seafood.
Cap's On the Water
Looking for something a little fancy, but still relaxing? Catch a sunset meal right on the water from their wooden deck. Awesome seafood and local fresh catch.
Beaches at Vilano
Great spot for outside dining, right on the beach. Highly recommend the Mahi tacos!
Piesanos St Augustine
Our newest favorite pizza place. Family style, and the BEST chicken picatta in town!
Salsas Cocina Palencia
One of our favorite spots for Mexican food. Authentic and the margs are cold.
Metro Diner
Did you have too much fun at the wedding? Want to shake it off with a great diner breakfast? This is the place! Also try their 'Chicken & Waffles'. You may have to bring your own Vermont syrup though. Let me know what you need, I got chu.
