Demonstrations of blacksmithing, cannon loading then being fired and others with the museum of a period house with furnishing from the era, a tower to climb and more to see plus our tour guide was gifted with an excellent humor and made the facts fun a enjoyable experience.

I wish I could remember our tour guide's name, but maybe you'll recognize her from photos! She was great. I thought my son would enjoy this place since he loves Heritage Village in Largo. I ended up enjoying it just as much! There's a cool blacksmith demo and great historical rundowns of the area and life back in the colonial days. There are also some interactive elements, a boat display, a flag exhibit from every flag flown over the city since the original Spanish conquest, and the place ends at the gorgeous historic de Mesa-Sanchez House. Must visit for any history buff. Also, the ticket seller gave us a nice discount for having visited the Pirate and Treasure Museum right next door, and was really helpful in navigating us to our restaurant afterwards.

On our previous visit to Saint Augustine we could visit this place, but we did this time around...and what a treat.. is a big place where you will learn the way of life during the evolution of the city. Our guide Bob Jürgen Platanaredowsky was great, he is a living encyclopedia of knowledge... and he showed us all the workings of the Quarter... firing the cannon, doing some iron work, explaining all the houses, their construction processes, the ship replica..long story short it is a place not to be missed while visiting the city. Admire all the flags .... walk among the houses, specially the kitchen Take your time and learn the facts about life in an era long gone... There is an admission fee, but coupons abound, and you can get a discount Enjoy

Oh my gosh, this tour was super cool. The man who did the tour was super funny and informative. He answered everyone's questions and encouraged everyone to look around and ask him anything. He was very kind and took photos with the kids. Super cool dude, very awesome tour.

You can walk around without a tour, but there is a fee. Best to take the tour. You get a lot of history. Be sure to climb the watch tower. Great view of the fort.
The tour was mostly on open ground. Small rocks, sand, wood mulch. I don't recall any area that a wheelchair couldn't get into. Hope that helps. The fort near by may have some inaccessible areas, but it was built about 300 years ago.
There is a path to go, but it is a dirt path. The tour lasted 30 minutes. The previous one lasted like 1 hour, but you can still walk around and go to the Colonia house. Very nice please.
No....the cost of admission includes the tour. The pirate museum next door has a combo ticket for both. I would definitely recommend doing both...the pirate museum was much better than I expected it would be.
The tour is about one hour in length, once tour is done you can stay in the premises and look around on your own or leave and come back throughout the day.

Yes, they are open.
Expect over an hour and a day enjoying all the shopping and fort.
It was an hour tour, but you have time after to look around, read whatever you didn't get to read, and climb the watchtower. We spent about an hour and a half total.
So much to do and see...plan on being there for the day... lots of little museums and stores.
I have seen other tourists with leashed pets. Just be prepared to toilet your dog respectfully.
I just find it easiest to park at the castillo de san marcos most of the time and walk from there
