Drink from the Fountain of Youth and stroll among the 15 acres of our nation’s first historical landmark in St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States. Let the kids actually see what their teachers have been telling them from the history books.
We enjoyed the grounds where peacocks roam as you stroll through the park.After drinking from the spring that legend says will maintain your youth I am afraid that I am living proof that it is just that, a legend. We did find the little bottles of the spring water in the gift shop great gifts for our friends.
Things to do on your self guided tour include my favorite, The Planetarium. The presentation shows visitors the storms Ponce De Leon navigated through and sets the skies in a replica of how the stars would have looked to him.
The Spring House, the Salt Cellar, Timucua Indian Exhibit, and the Indian Burial Ground are other things to see while you're there. It is a great value at $7 per person. Plus if you are touring St. Augustine in one of the trains or trolleys, most of them make the Fountain of Youth a stop on their tour.
Picnickers are welcome at the visitor friendly attraction.
