We did the whole experience - the museum, the moving theatre, and the mirror maze. Such fun! I loved the music in the maze - we pretty much danced our way through. Our staff member - Owen - was really helpful and gave us his opinion for the best game we should play in moving theatre. It did not disappoint. Ashley was working at moving theatre and she was really sweet. Made sure everyone in the theatre knew what to do and had a great time. Owen was a great help once we were all done and we were just browsing the store, as well. There are some seriously fun souvenirs in the shop! If you're in town and have time, I definitely recommend a visit to Ripley's.

Disappointed sums it up…read more This place looks like time has gotten the better of it, and that happened some time ago. In the outside area, the "exhibits"(?) to the left were all closed off - the woodcutting house, and the wheelhouse. They all look like an accident waiting to happen if an unsupervised kid were to go wandering around there. The inside is a little more put together in terms of hands-on things for little ones to interact with. And I'll admit, our 3 year old did enjoy himself. I've just been to similar places like this one around the state, and they have been much more polished and far better maintained than this is. No staff walk around to pick up after kids, for example in the pretend shopping / grocery store area. One in St. Pete is well "policed" with workers picking up after kids, so each one gets to experience it fully, and not a ram-shackled mess. That seems like a minor issue, since we picked up for our child, and he enjoyed it still - but a simple thing like creating a job for somebody improves the experience for visitors. Overall, I wouldn't be in any great hurry to return. I'm not sure how much replay value there is for an infant - probably more than a single trip to be fair, but the neglected feel of the place puts me off. It just seems lazy and half-hearted. Which is a real shame, because there's no equivalent in the area, and it's a fantastic idea to stimulate little minds, and get hands-on experiences and exposure to science and math in a playful and fun way. Hopefully they will step up their game and live up to the potential the place really has, instead of just skating by on the bare minimum of effort.

Inside the museum, when it reopens, you'll be able to see the history of this remarkable physician who theorized the refrigeration would be a possible treatment for some illnesses including yellow fever.

As for the park, there are a number of picnic areas amongst the trees and sidewalk paths that provide access to Dr. Gorrie's gravesite and the museum. Street parking and a parking lot are available.

Per site: Fort Barrancas sits on a bluff overlooking the entrance to Pensacola Bay. The natural advantages of this location have inspired engineers of three nations to build forts. The British built the Royal Navy Redoubt here in 1763 of earth and logs. The Spanish built two forts here around 1797. Bateria de San Antonio was a masonry water battery at the foot of the bluff. Above it was earth and log Fort San Carlos de Barrancas. American engineers remodeled the Water Battery in 1840 and built a masonry fort on the bluff between 1839 and 1844, connected by a tunnel to the Water Battery. This is the current Fort Barrancas. A $1.2 million, eighteen-month restoration project led to its reopening in 1980. My son and I had a great time and were amazed by all the hidden caves and scenery. A must see for the historians in the family. (not a good place for wheel chairs)

The lighthouse, museum and island setting combine to make this a fascinating stop along Florida's Forgotten Coast. Cape St. George Light 2B East Gulf Beach Drive St. George Island, FL 32328

I do appreciate it after driving hrs. We paid $7 per person to clime it. One thing I recommend do legging exercise at home and people overweight wont feet the square space to reach to the top part on the wall metal stairs you need to hold on to it to clime up very narrow whom ever has long legs will be difficult too since the steps and space don't give you room to fold them. We headed to the beach afterwords to my surprise being in the Golf coast the water was clean and warm. Not shells almost very disappointing. A few people some music playing in the background nothing disturbing. One thing I did liked was the kids box beach toy available by the sand I guess you bring it back to it. Very relaxing place I amused till next time!
