We invite the public to attend. There is no general admission fee. There will be plenty of clean restrooms throughout the facility. The J-Tech Building will have air-conditioned areas to escape Florida’s heat. Food vendors will be on site for you to relax over lunch.
We expect temperatures to be in the mid-70’s during the day with 50’s at night. There are many things to do in and around Jacksonville, National Parks, a zoo, museums, shopping and wildlife sanctuaries are just a few of the attractions in the area.
