  What a cool place !! I thought we'd go in, take a few pics, climb the stairs & be done but there's lots of history here, things to see & read. My sis & I spent 1 1/2 hrs here, climbed the 219 step lighthouse & we had such a good time. We sat on the benches & drank water going up..wasn't too difficult. The man at the top was very nice & informative. Definitely a must see.

  Had such a great visit! The lighthouse is so well taken care or we climbed all the way to the top! Its quite a climb but worth it and there are many spots to sit for a break on the way up.. the views are absolutely immaculate and all of the additional exhibits and mini museums were awesome!

  This was a lovely impromptu stop! The views from the top were gorgeous and expansive and the climb up (although nearly 219 steps) was very manageable due to the benches you can sit on the way up and how well made the stairs are. The building has just been recently renovated and it looks amazing! Each of the exhibits in the separate side buildings were also meticulously maintained and informative. We spoke with several staff members who were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall an incredible place to visit and affordable! Come support historical St. Augustine

  Any absolute delight. Has History, souvenirs, antiques, archeology and more. More than a museum. Don't be intimidated if you have mobility handicaps. Staff is wonderful to make doable suggestions to make those with canes or walkers welcome and comfortable even if climbing stairs is physical limited. Restrooms available in several convenient locations. Many kid friendly things including pirate ship playground, outdoor play area with games and a trail that promotes hands on learning. Climb to the top of the lighthouse or enjoy the view from a comfy seat. Be sure to appreciate the landscaping and Florida foliage as well as the lighthouse keepers garden. The Tin Pickle is the stop for a hotdog, muffin, brownie, soda or a cold beer. We watched men building boats on site. We watched and archaeologist work on items retrieved from ocean dives. Be sure and hike the trail that goes behind the lighthouse. See the lush native plants. Enjoy the huge trees covered in Spanish Moss. Well worth the money and wonderful history lesson for kids of all ages. Staff is beyond helpful and kind.

  A must see when visiting St Augustine or the area! It's a short drive from the more central area of the city, which was a great break and gave us a chance to drive over the bridge of lions. We didn't visit the park, only the museum, but the area was lovely. My 9-year-old and I did the full climb to the top of the lighthouse - if you can swing it, do it! There are 8 landings and the windows are open so it's nice and breezy in the right weather going up with time to rest. If there's a line, it'll go quickly - they can only allow so many people in at once so it's most comfortable for everybody. There are cool facts and interactive elements and progress marked on the way up. The entire museum area is awesome, especially loved the shipwreck exhibit and the on-site shipwreck artifacts conservation lab (my son's favorite part!). Lots of great historical facts and displays.
