Parking is free and somewhat away from the museum but easily connected by a walkway. The museum consists of the indoor exhibits and outdoor boardwalk section. The tickets are $10. There is a family pack for 2 adults and up to 4 children at $30. Senior citizens pay $7.50. Museum includes interpretative exhibits, dioramas and educational displays, a bit eclectic but coherent including various elements like story and legend telling. The 18 min movie is an essential part of the visit. Our 3 generational group included 2 children below 4 years of age and everyone enjoyed the museum as well as the souvenir shop, but we especially liked the 1-mile-long outdoor portion of the museum. It consisted of a very easy and beautiful boardwalk walk. We passed ceremonial grounds and "live village" but unfortunately nothing was on display, and everything was empty. I am sure at times there must be some exhibits or programs there.

Absolutely one of the best "hidden" gems I have found. In my 55 years on this earth, I always thought the Seminole Indians were in northern Florida and had always been there. Probably because of the state university that is in Tallahassee. I also learned that the Seminole are actually a branch of the Creek Indian from the Eastern Alabama region and that they migrated to Florida to escape the Upper Creek immigrants and white settlers, among other things. They were never conquered. Beautiful recreations and original pieces of authentic artifacts. Absolutely the best staff, friendly and very helpful. My only complaint it that I wasnt able to spend more time there, but that was my fault, not theirs. Highly recommend this museum!

My husband had received special permission to do research in their archives for a paper he was writing. They bent over backwards to help him, and everyone was warm and welcoming. While I helped him some over the two days, I spent a nice amount of time in the museum itself...and gift shop, of course. The museum really gives you a sense of the Seminole culture and the "mannequins" are modelled after real people...and they are so well done, I kept expecting them to move! I understand they are going to update/expand the museum in the next couple of years, and I can't wait to visit it when they are finished. The 1.1-mile boardwalk through the grounds gives an interesting perspective on the natural habitat, and informational signs tell about the flora and fauna as well. At one point there is a village re-creation where Seminole artisans demonstrate different crafts. Take the time to do this as well!
