Kids get bored here and want to climb stuff. The view is beautiful and the area is beautifully landscaped and cared for. Serene and restful spot. More

In the heart of St. Augustine it's a easy place to find a park. A temporary amusement park nearby provided crowds and music. We had no trouble locating the chapel or the huge cross. Restful area! More

It is amazing how serene and peaceful this area is in the middle of a bustling, busy area of town. I am not catholic, but could appreciate all the gardens and the historic nature of the mission. More

The extensive grounds are lovely and well-kept, the museum excellent, and the little chapel to Our Lady is nothing short of wonderful. Could sit there for hours. More

My family and my husband and me visit here every time we go to St. Augustine"s. I find it to be a very beautiful, serene and calming place to visit, especially to walk around and see all of the statues on the grounds. They're beautiful! More

We are not Catholic but devout Christians who could fully appreciate the history. Really just a quiet park like setting with a small prayer chapel tucked in. More flower planting would be a wonderful addition. Gift shop had a lot of Catholic material. The museum was closed. More
