Must see if visiting St. Augustine. The history of the fort is incredible. Many rooms you can walk into, and the construction is incredible.Full review by ksjr2007

Awesome day trip with much history and spaces to explore. There is NO free parking. Pay-By-Plate or Meter. It was chilly/windy near the beach so bring a jacket!Full review by Paradise19394254748

Really interesting and easy to visit. Nice views of bay and Old Town. We visited last hour of day and low crowds. Free parking. If you want to stop by and just walk outside area it’s free to do so.Full review by Crathy21
