A representative for the development company says they’re moving forward with plans for 415 apartments following Adventure Landing’s closure.<\/p>\n

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. \u2014 The water slides are dry and the minigolf fairways are empty at Adventure Landing in Jacksonville Beach.<\/p>\n

The amusement park announced its abrupt closure this week.<\/a><\/p>\n

It may not sit empty for long, though, as developers already have a plan in motion.<\/p>\n

“Usually, people tell me they’re vacationing here and my first question is, ‘Why,'” said Mind Bender Escape Rooms Owner Roger Baldwin.<\/p>\n

Baldwin says tourists looking for something to do are a frequent customer for his escape rooms.<\/p>\n

Over the years, he’s formed a symbiotic relationship with Adventure Landing with the amusement park set up right next door.<\/p>\n

“We tried to work together with them,” said Baldwin. “We would send people to them, they’d send people to me. It was a pretty good relationship.”<\/p>\n

Baldwin’s relationship ended when Adventure Landing announced it was closing its doors after 30 years.<\/p>\n

“I’m like everybody else,” said Baldwin. “I’ve been hearing for years it was closing<\/a>, it was closing, it was closing. I guess they finally closed it.”<\/p>\n

The rumblings of the location closing started in 2021 when Adventure Holdings LLC filed for bankruptcy and announced it’d be closing<\/a> at the end of that year.<\/p>\n

Then, Jacksonville Beach city leaders approved a rezoning in 2022 to build apartments on the property, yet, the amusement park was still kicking after extending a fourth time to come back for a 30th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n

An Adventure Landing spokesperson told First Coast News their lease wasn’t renewed again.<\/p>\n

“They’ll be missed,” said Baldwin. “I’d like to hope someone else will come in and take their place for something to do in Jacksonville Beach.”<\/p>\n

A representative for the Jax Beach based development company, Trevato, shared in a statement:<\/p>\n

“I can confirm that Adventure Landing is closing this week. We anticipate that construction of a first in class, market rate apartment community will begin in Jacksonville Beach in the first quarter of 2026.”<\/p>\n

He pointed out it’s the same plan previously voted on and has all been approved in permitting.<\/p>\n

Baldwin will have to hope folks will keep checking out his escape games without his partner there any more to help send customers his way.<\/p>\n

“I’d love to have more stuff here,” said Baldwin. “It’s a great place. It’s close to the city, it’s close to the ocean. What more could you ask for?”<\/p>\n
