Younger grandkids had fun hunting for the hidden items and older ones enjoyed the history of pirates. Grandparents enjoyed the history of the sunken treasures and the treasure chest. One area was a little gruesome for the youngest in our crowd. Overall, worth the admission price.

The museum was very interesting as well as interactive. There is a lot to look at especially if you have an interest in historical pirates. I did find the movie portion to feel thrown together and lacking, almost an after thought and somewhat out of place. The price was on the higher side, but for a one time visit I found it to be tolerable. Great affordable gift shop.

Although this is a small museum, it is very well done. I felt it was presented how Disney would do it with lots of pictures, things to read, life-like mannequins, characters talking to us, etc. To make it more fun, you could find the special hidden boxes throughout the display. If all were found, you could grab a trinket at the end in the gift shop. There was even a spooky room that shared the sounds of what being in the ship's hold might feel like as the pirates were fighting up top. I learned a ton about Sir Francis Drake and so many other pirates that came through Florida in the early days. We were lucky to go through between some student groups, but otherwise it could be claustrophobic with a lot of kids around. We did the self-guided version, but we did see a costumed pirate taking some groups around as well.

Way too expensive for the size. My kids ate 7&10 and it took like 20min and that’s because I only made them walk around twice. I felt it was a waste of money. But anyways it had some good info and little things just wish they lowered the price.

It was a small museum but had lots of information on pirates and treasures. It was self guided and interactive. Fun part was the treasure hunt for my 7 yr old granddaughter. Yes it was pricey but it was like all the attractions in St Augustine.

The museum was so crowded that it was exceedingly difficult to enjoy the experience. Our group of six (4 adults and two children aged 4 & 7) felt it was not worth the money for the price of the tickets. We felt very rushed and pushed while trying to view the exhibits. Because of the volume of guests the children were not able to experience the interactive displays. It was disappointing. Had they limited the number of guests going through at once, I would have easily given it an excellent review. When we were leaving we noticed that almost all the young children were crying including one of ours! So I don’t think we were alone in our assessment!

There was a fair amount of information and some interesting displays. However, it felt very crowded and it was difficult to get close enough to read about the displays with so many people crowded into the museum. The "route" through the museum was not readily apparent which led to backtracking or more congestion. The scavenger hunt, while interesting (especially for the kids) also led to many youngsters running back through the museum to find items they missed.

This museum has a lively, interactive pirate hoard of information! Our kids (10, 12, 14) enjoyed the displays and the scavenger hunt. Slightly over-priced but worth the respite from the heat outside. Good afternoon, break from the beach activity.

Expecting a little more from this tour for $17.49 per adult. It was informative and had some nice exhibits but thought it would take longer than one hour to tour. Restrooms and gift shop available. No parking directly at the site, but the Old City Trolley has a stop at this location.

This is a small museum but carves out an interesting niche. They have a 'scavenger hunt' that encourages patrons to spend time closely observing artifacts. When we visited, the museum was packed and we noticed people were making large purchases. Casual observers (like us) will likely be underwhelmed, but if someone in your party is a history/pirate buff, this is an ideal attraction to visit.
