We have visited pirate museums in the past and while telling an interesting story, many were far from telling an accurate story of pirates. But Pat Croce has gone the extra distance to make you live the story of the pirate legends. The interactive exhibits help everyone in the family get involved. More

Not at all a cheasy pirate experience. The exhibits are very well done, entertaining for kids and adults, and continually expanding. Well worth the price of the ticket. More

The Pirate and Treasure Museum was fun, if not a little pricey, but it was still a good experience. If you like pirates then this should definitely be on your to-do list! More

This is a great museum, they had a lot on neat stuff about Pirates. The only issue was the 50 plus students that came in while we was there. I wished that they would allow photos to be taken More

My husband and I had a great time at the Pirate Museum. We learned about different pirates - also got to see treasure that had been brought up from sunken ships. Would definitely take our 5 year old grandson on the next trip. More

Outside of the historic fort in Saint Augustine, this was by far the best attraction in Saint Augustine. Fun, interactive and lots of real pirate treasure. Both my husband and I enjoyed this museum. We spent almost two hours in the museum following a tour group of school kids who had an interactive tour with one of the pirates. Fun... More
