Amtrak Silver Service

Pros: Great experience. The staff at the Winter Park FL Amtrak station are incredibly friendly and helpful. Cons: Nothing. Tips: You can check a bag, just make sure it’s less than 50lbs. For the solo travelers like me, the conductors were friendly and helped me lift up my bags.

Amtrak Silver Service

Pros: Lights out at 10 PM was nice for late night travels, I had a good experience once on board. Attendants were friendly and educational. Cons: The train arrived on the opposite track, my train was headed north but it appeared on the southbound side so I almost missed it. I was told I should have checked in to avoid this but the Maitland office doors had literal chains and locks on them so I could not check in. Better signage would help.

Amtrak Silver Service

Pros: I was pleasantly surprised with the comfort on the train. I did not use the food car this trip as it was only a 3 hour ride. The seats were very comfortable and roomy. Cons: Other then being a little late and the wifi not letting me stream I have no issues with my trip. Tips: Don't dismiss Amtrak for your future trips, it was a pleasant experience and you get to enjoy the scenery.

Jacksonville, or simply "Jax," is the largest city by area in the continental United States. Located in the northeastern corner of Florida, this sunny city along the St Johns River also boasts 22 miles of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, coastal cuisine, and many historic neighborhoods to explore.

Natural beauty is king in Jacksonville, and where better to soak in some of the Sunshine State's outdoor wonders than the beach? Try Little Talbot Island for beachcombing or fishing, Big Talbot Island for exploring wetlands and marshes, and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park for surfing. If you don't have the patience for birdwatching in the wild, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens will let you get up-close and personal with over 2,400 animals.

To take a break from the sun's rays, head indoors to one of Jacksonville's many eclectic museums. The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens combines European-inspired gardens with an impressive collection of fine art, while the Museum of Science and History is worth a stop for its planetarium alone. On Saturdays, you wouldn’t want to miss the Riverside Arts Market where artisans and farmers set up stalls along the river, and you can catch live music, food trucks and even free yoga.
