"My first lighthouse experience"
This was my first time climbing a lighthouse and it was so cool! I cannot imagine having to climb that all the time like they used to have to when this lighthouse was needed.
KIds were having a great time racing their parents up the stairs. Everyone was laughing and really enjoying the experience.
It was amazing how much you could see when at the top. This was such a cool experience!

"Not for Young Kids"
After visiting Tybee Island lighthouse in GA and climbing to the top, our daughter was so excited to go to another lighthouse. Unfortunately, we found out after we arrived that she was too short (under 44 inches) and would not be allowed to climb the lighthouse.
We were given a voucher so that she could come back and climb when she was older, but since we don't know if we will be returning to this area again, it was a pretty empty gesture.
The only redeeming feature was that there were walking trails through the woods nearby, so she got to "explore the jungle" while we waited for the rest of our party to come down from the lighthouse.

Check their site for special events,hours.There is a small walk to reach to the lighthouse.This lighthouse is good but with small kids its difficult to climb steps.If ur kids r able to manage loads of steps with breaks then its fine but if u have to carry them and climb its difficult.Kids n u will definately njoy the veiw once u reach the observatory.we loved the veiw!.Its a good workout too.The museum is small and not that great.

"Bring your climbing shoes!"
The Lighthouse is a must visit when checking out St. Augustine. The views from the top are amazing but the smallest of kids (toddlers) won't want to climb themselves so be prepared to hoist them and take them up yourself. Older kids will love counting the stairs and racing to the top. Small park and museum are well kept with lots of historical information. Tthe staff are very friendly as well.. Lovely oak trees on grounds.

"Fun with the Family"
Climb a 165-foot, 219-step lighthouse built in the late 1800s. Notice the cracks in its circular wall, a legacy of the earthquake that shook Charleston, South Carolina, in 1886. The visitor center holds maritime archaeological exhibits and flashes back to the history of the black-and-white-striped tower, which is the town’s oldest brick structure.
