It was much better than we expected. We went in thinking it was going to be pretty cheesy but it actually was really good. We didn't do the treasure map, but we probably would have found more treasures if we did. Lots of history and artifacts.

"Not worth it"

It was fine, but for the price - not worth it. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Perhaps it was too mature for the younger kids - they spent more time in the tiny gift shop than the actual museum.

"Very Cool Museum"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed May 22, 2025
This was quite possibly my favorite museum in St. Augustine. The artifacts are very cool and the presentation makes the experience memorable and fun. Wandering through the immersive sets and stumbling upon the artifacts scattered throughout really makes the exhibits and information come to life. The small audio show is a unique addition, firing cannons and tying knots is fun, and seeing the various props and costumes from pirate movies is a fun way to finish. I wish the museum was a little bigger, with a little more to see, but I would still happily recommend this attraction to anyone visiting St. Augustine as one of the city's absolute must-see's.
