Much like most of Bermuda, even though this is really close to the cruise port it is not a tourist trap. This is an actual old military fort and it is extremely well kept and located on beautiful grounds. It's easy to walk around and when you get to the second floor of the building you are rewarded with beautiful views. If you are waiting around for an Excursion or your Excursion ended but you don't want to get back in the cruise ship this is a great place to go.

This was a fort built in the early 19th century, now it is the National Museum of Bermuda so its exhibits are more than just for the fort. The Commissioners House is the most identifiable building in the fort and it is quite impressive. The fort is right on the water and a tunnel allows dolphins to come and go as they please. There are also sheep on premises, just make sure you close the sheep gate so they stay there. The museum is completely self guided and the museum brochure was not much help. Cost of admission is $18.

Right across from where our cruise ship docked is the National Museum of Bermuda. It is well worth the price of admission and my wife and I spent a couple hours looking at all the exhibits and the grounds. Someone could easily spend all day there. It was overwhelming with all of the history and number of displays and artifacts. The displays are very well done and there are several buildings to explore. I enjoyed walking around deep inside the fort the best. The walls must be about 10 feet thick.
