They swore Velocity has the best selection and prices, but have never been to Superior. With that being said we were on the way to Tennessee. This place happened to be on the way. I wanted to check it out. It was a Friday morning in early December. It appears we were the only customer in the parking area. We had to ring the doorbell and wait for someone to let us in. The gentlemen that greeted us was nice. We told him why we were there. Just to check it out but the vibe was weird. There is a wide selection but the place just seemed dark and vacant. It felt like we were being followed and watched by the only employee. He was probably just waiting for us to ask questions, but who knows. I noticed a particular 500 gram that I always pick up at Superior was about $25 more at this location. As mentioned I only wanted to look but my son REALLY wanted us to pick something out so I let him pick out two 200 gram cakes which I would have paid almost half for elsewhere. No doubt I'll stick with Superior.

Finally instead of driving past we did a quick turn and pulled in the parking lot to see what was…read moreup at the firework building. As soon as we got in there I could tell it was gonna be a nice experience. It was a clean place and the shelves were tidy. As you walk around they have a variety of larger boxed fireworks and each one has a scan code in front of it as you scan the code on your camera on your phone or up on the wall and a movie comes on and I'll show you what the fireworks do.Well that sold me so I ended up buying more than I thought. Everybody there was a great help and very friendly. The prices were good and even some were on sale. So I'm looking forward to a BOOM of a night on the 4th 2021!

I've been buying a ton of fireworks from Phantom each year and usually stock up for the 4th of July and New Years by doing the gift card deal and buying when they run the buy 1 get 2 promotion. That still runs me about 1-2 thousand dollars, easily. Forget all of that work and effort and take yourself to Superior Fireworks which is what I am going to do from now on. They run promotions every once in a while and you can browse the selection online and order for in-store pickup, which is what I did, but when I got to the store... I saw things I did not see online and had to pick up some more. Even so, I still saved hundreds of dollars, maybe even more instead of going to Phantom with wayyyyyy less effort. I guess the more people that knows about this place and shops here will keep them in business and folks employed. I did not know this place existed until this year when I saw a post on social media. The one thing I do need to ask the next time I am here is their dud policy. Phantom will allow you to bring back a dud with a receipt and they will give you a replacement. Luckily, all of our fireworks shot off perfectly. Minus the ones where we didn't follow the instructions but nothing was harmed lol.

I bought from phantom since the 80's, since they had 2 stores I drove to Ohio, when I lived in PA. My grandfather bought from phantom when I was a child, they sent fireworks by freight back then, when the catalog had a few pages, I love phantom. I will buy from them every year until I die. Thanks phantom for the buy one get one and the bonuses, I truly appreciate it, and you make me and my families 4th so very special each year. God bless America, god bless phantom fireworks, Brian. Ps Tks for having your staff load everything, it really means a lot to me.

Overpriced, overstaffed, and not very helpful. I get fireworks are marked up but paying retail on…read morethis stuff is crazy. They normally run some really good deals even on or before a holiday. I've been here in the past and blew a bunch of money here, haha get it? "Blew"? Because it's a firework store. Well that was a few years ago and ever since I've kicked myself for spending so much money on something that doesn't last very long, but this year I have a little one and what's better than having some stuff to blow up on America's birthday? 4th of July! I was here one day after the buy 1 get 1 for .99 as told by one of the associate, so I asked if there was any other deals. He told me no but that he could see if he could find a coupon. He left and was found walking and talking to some other girl working there and said he couldn't find any more coupons, oh well no biggie. I came across an end-cap that had their "red hot deal" going on and snagged some from there. Checked out and discovered a firework shop across the street. Next day I was on Facebook and Phantom has a page, guess what? They had coupons that were on there and was active. The day previous and up to July 3rd. Ain't that a bad biscuit and boy was my little brother upset for not knowing that and buying what he bought. This place is a drive from Orange Park, but if I do ever decide to come back here I will definitely do my homework because the employee knowledge and customer service skills were subpar.

It was busy with kids and parents mostly stayed to the sideline letting kids make friends and have a blast. There are loads of shaded picnic tables right next to the park where you can sit or bring lunch to eat at!

There are public restrooms at the brick building across the sidewalk on the side of the picnic tables towards the parking. For public restrooms they're not bad! A quick straight stroll (2 blocks or so) to get ice cream and go out to eat or shop around! Great location.

The whole walkway along the water has that perfect "just keep strolling" feel. You get nonstop views of the river, boats passing by, and the skyline stretching out in the distance. It is one of those places where you start walking without a plan and suddenly realize you have gone way farther than you meant to because it just keeps pulling you along. My family and I took our time, stopping every few minutes just to look out at the water or take pictures. The breeze off the river made everything feel cooler and calmer, even with people out and about enjoying the day. There were joggers, families, couples, and everyone just kind of sharing the same peaceful stretch of space. What I liked most is how simple it is. No big attractions needed, just a clean, open riverfront path that lets you slow down and enjoy Jacksonville at your own pace. Five stars. Perfect place to walk, talk, and take in the river views without any stress at all.

We love it here and bring the dogs almost weekly. Just a fantastic part of downtown and a great way to get exercise and just reset.

Definitely a huge let down for the kids, they were talking about it all day on 4th of July for none of them to work. Last year I bought from a roadside stand for $10 and they worked without an issue so I'll just do that again next year since we only need small sparklers.

It is literally advertised to sign up with your email at the cash register to become a member! But, the business doesn't want you to take advantage of this membership and I didn't know this. I tried using a $5 off any purchase discount that was visibly in my account on the app and I was told I used the same discount twice and was blamed for it when it isn't my system and I don't know about computers. How can I redeem a coupon twice, that's not the customers responsibility it's the cashiers all I did was press redeem coupon in the app. It wasn't the same coupon because the last coupon disappeared and a new one showed up. I was blamed for a faulty system and was told I was abusing a loop hole and taking advantage of the business. I can't even make this up! I told the owner that your son called me a scammer and instead of reprimanding him he said," what can I do for you, do you want $10". My response was I don't want a dollar from you I don't want to be called a scammer. I am shocked that these people are this delusional and out right disrespectful in public with an audience of customers the day before 4th of July. To mention also that this was the owner and son that told me all this haha! Please do not shop there they are very confrontational and aggressive people. They don't treat police officers right there and I am one of them. I showed my shield and ID to get a discount which they gave me a 10% discount but that doesn't change any of this or the way we were treated my family and I. If you are a first responder please for the love of God do not give these people your money. Go to Superior Fireworks. They are hands down the best and give a 15% discount and are excellent people and you can also order online. We never had a bad experience with Superior Fireworks because they are professionals.
