I didn't thinking was going to be all that good. But definitely go inside and do the tour. We spent 4 hours there and soaked up all the awesome information. Great place to bring the kids so they can run around and ask all sorts of questions. There are historians all over the park and are soooo nice. It's a LOT of walking though so bring some comfy shoes and mosquito repellent.
Living somewhat locally for years I always considered this place a bit of a tourist trap and had never entered. My mistake. Lovely grounds with historical exhibits, demonstrations, and peacocks. Was absolutely worth the time and money (not much money!). The gun demonstrations were particularly enlightening. Try and be sure to catch the cannon firing.
There was a lot more than I thought there was here, so we didn't have enough time to see everything. The grounds are beautiful, and there were plenty of live demonstrations of things (we saw the blacksmith, canon firing, and gun firing over the course of about an hour, so the events are well scheduled).
Such a beautiful place! My husband and I learned a lot and enjoyed our time here. I didn't want to leave! The staff was nice and very informative.
Really cool historical site to visit. Yes it is touristy but the staff are able to provide some very interesting information on the tribe and the Spanish settlers. Very educational overall and the grounds are beautiful. Peacocks, lovely landscapes and historical buildings dot the landscape. Head down the boardwalk and then look towards the settlement and you can almost imagine what the Spanish felt when they first arrived.
It was a very interesting park (and yes, you can drink from the fountain for free with admission).
