A very touristy part of the city, but a part of it nonetheless. Enjoy the cheesiness and how the little park is stuck in time. The park has been hosting tourists for many years now, and that is part of its history, too. Someone in the reviews said they did not want to learn history while in St. Augustine. Apparently... more

Although this place is hard to skip because of the history, the experience is disappointing to say the least. more

cheesey sums it up perfectly. We had been in St. Augustine for a few days and decided on the last day to go to the Fountain of Youth. We should have skipped it. The displays were outdated, many of the attractions looked like they were put together by a highschool drama club...and that may be insulting HS drama clubs. The... more

I wanted to go and check the place out for many years and I finally had the chance to go in. What a huge disappointment! Talking about throwing away your money. I got greeted by a nice young lady at the entrance which took a slice of my ticket and directed me to the planetarium where the tour already began.... more

My husband and I actually spent an entire afternoon here and all for $7.00. The guided tour was fun and informative and there are a ton of photo ops on the property. I wish I had gotten the name of our guide because he was great and visibly enjoys his job. I learned quite a bit of Florida and American... more

I am at a loss on any of the negative comments about this site. We almost didn't visit but I am sooo glad we did. You see the actual spot where Pounce de Leon landed. He actually thought he found the found of Youth but he did land and create the first settlement in America. I don't know how people... more

This is where La Florida began. It felt like a special place. Go on the guided tours, but also take time to wander the grounds. For me it was very educational. more

We did enjoy our visit to the Fountain of Youth. Though nothing special, it was a nice park. The planetarium show needs some serious money invested in updating it, but the man hosting the show did a fine job and we did learn something. There are peacocks walking around just waiting to show off!! We did our drink from the... more
