You already know St. Augustine is famed for its history, but did you know you can experience all things pirate, too? Get ready to pillage and plunder-- no matter how young or old you are.
Pirate and Treasure Museum
This timber-shivering museum experience will leave you feeling very thankful that you weren't around 300 years ago in the Golden Age of Piracy. Owned by Pat Croce, this fascinating museum holds over 800 real artifacts and encourages hands-on learning. Open 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. daily.
Fountain of Youth
This is St. Augustine's first historic site and it's loaded with things to see. There's room to run (it's 15 acres on the water). You'll see peacocks, an Indian village, a cannon firing, the planetarium, and you can drink water from the famous "fountain" (that smells like stinky eggs because of the sulfur content). Will you be granted eternal youth? If not, you'll still love it here. Be sure to purchase a treasure map in the gift shop or other pirate booty.
Black Raven Pirate Cruise
Family fun by day, adult fun by night. This live pirate show aboard a huge pirate vessel is an event not to be missed! The Black Raven sails Matanzas Bay seven days a week, several times a day, and it's always entertaining. See wenches and rouges; get baubles and eye patches; and practice your pirate speak – ARRRR! Get your pirate on and get onboard Black Raven. You will love the adventure.
