Medieval Torture Museum in Saint Augustine, FL

if blood, gore & torture tools are your thing this is a place you would love. i only gave them an "average rating" because personally i am not into this type of thing. but if i was, this would FOR SURE deserve a "VERY GOOD" rating. wasnt really sure what to expect other than some very weird tools and contraptions and this place didnt disappoint on that in. there were plenty of different tools and displays of torture methods, some which they say are even still used to this day. even a few interactive displays lol, nothing jumps out at you, dont worry, just a few displays let you pull a lever or something to show you how it works. this isnt a place for you if you dont like blood or have weak eyes and stomach. if your kids arent into horror films or that kind of thing or you dont wanna deal with nightmares this may be a time when you want to send them downstairs to enjoy the ice cream parlor in the building. the torture museum also has a micro art display that they offer you,we declined that because you cant take pictures or anything of the micro art,however we peeked and seen a picture or 2 and they are cool for sure (you view thru a microscope). not sure who posted the review about the fast talking dude at the counter but i can tell you what, they could not have been more accurate so listen carefully when you get there or you will end up paying for both attractions in the blink of an eye! this was a good overall experience and the gift shop is pretty nice as well.

A great (albeit gruesome) new addition to historic St. George Street. Amazing collection of practically every piece of torture equipment known to man and mock ups of nasty torture. Some of it skived me out, but its worth the price of admission. Who collected all this stuff?

It says it in the name! Several rooms of devices used for various torture in medieval period with several examples. We loved the ambiance definitely not for the squeamish. Although there is some gore and gross with the examples of torture there is history and explanations to go along with them. Must see!

Very creepy displays and devices in an even creepier (supposedly haunted) location. Just being in the building will give you an eerie feeling, and it constantly felt like we were being watched as we moved from room to room. Some of the items are not for little eyes, and there is an age restriction on entry. If you're really into the sick and twisted, this is the place for you.

The museum was definitely interesting even if the torture techniques were barbaric. The audio adds to it since it tells you in depth exactly what each device was used for and why.
