Fountain of Youth Ticket Office

It was a fun adventure. We were happy to experience the different historical spots within that area.. it was much larger than I anticipated and the free roaming Peacocks were so beautiful. So much to explore and take in.

I had such a great experience at the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine, FL. It was not busy on the day I attended which made it quite lovely. There are restrooms available, a gift shop and lots of history to learn about. You get drink from the "Fountain."

This is overrated, overpriced, private site attraction that posing themselves as a historical, archaeological site. No proof for it. Mythical place created as a tourist trap. There many more places to go visit for FREE in St.Augustine, Florida! As one of the top attractions in the St. Augustine area, Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park's mythical, anti-aging waters attract the most visitors. However, you might want to stick to bottled water. "The water from the fountain of youth has a very bad smell, my wife did not take a drink and others decided not to. I did and my stomach has been sick for the past 7 days!!!Avoid (I'm also not looking any younger lol). Although several visitors mention developing stomach aches after sipping the water, the most common complaint is the sulfur smell. Hidden in a traditional coquina-style building, the water comes directly from an aquifer surrounded by statues of partially clothed Indigenous people and battle-ready Spaniards. Considering there are over 30 minerals in the water, the smell should come as a surprise to no one. It's also worth noting that there's no historical evidence that Ponce de Leon ever drank from this spring, or, in fact, set out to find the Fountain of Youth at all. Finally, many visitors also find the price of admission too high. For reference, the adult ticket costs $21.55 at the time of writing. For a more affordable water-centric experience
