Visiting the Fountain of Youth, St. Augustine, Florida

I visited the Fountain of Youth, St. Augustine, Florida in October of 2022. The Fountain of Youth Archeological Park is believed to be the site where Juan Ponce De Leon came ashore after he discovered Florida in 1513. Based on archeology, this site is also where Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles established the first settlement of St. Augustine in 1565.

Useful & well done motion footage & images of the buildings, boat, period guns fired, etc. Also the music used here is both lovely as well as not being played in an overbearing manner or too loudly. Many uploaded KZbin videos seem to attach very loud music which actually blocks being able to hear the narration. This is a pleasant & informative "walk through". I'm a native of Jacksonville and was actually able to spend a couple of hours enjoying the Ftn of Youth just a couple of years ago. Nicely presented!!! I will mention it might be smart to add a sentence with some mention of admission costs. I realize, that that might be a changing amount over a few years' time....however I waz a bit surprised to take a guest there and find that it was slightly more pricey than some state run parks/ forts which cost smaller amounts. I believe it was approx $15-18 per adult , circa 2018 . However it really is pretty as well as historically informative. I believe multiple peacocks & peahens also live there & roam about the property. Cheers!!🎉
