This fort is a National HIstoric Site and can be explored independently or with a park guide. Restoration work is in progress and much needs to be done.Great views of the coast can be seen from the top of the fort. A gift shop and restrooms are available inside.Admission is charged unless you have a annual or senior pass. You are also able to get your National Park Passport Book stamped.
Compared to the many forts we have seen elsewhere this fort has little to see. Half of the facility is being renovated so not to be seen. The rest has a few rooms of the fort which was built to protect but never needed to protect. It was mostly used as a prison.
Pretty minimal displays. Go to Frederiksted instead for an in-depth exposition. Though smaller it is more interesting.
Not much to see. Under construction and in quit poor condition. Has a great view of Gallows bay. Glad to see that they are trying to restore it. Need more info on history.
Visit every year and always enjoy. Quite a bit of renovation going on so a large portion of Fort not available for viewing. All the more to see next year. Staff is always very friendly and informative. If you are a history nut or just want to see great scenery don't miss this. One of my favorite things the government has done is the senior pass. After a $10 fee all national parks are free for you and travel mates.
Not a ton to see here (much is under renovation), but if you have small kids with an interest in sailing, pirates, etc., they will love it. Nice signage throughout to explain things, and friendly staff.
We stopped by here for a quick visit during our recent trip and loved getting to see a piece of the history of the island. Worth a look while you are in the area.
What the heck?! Drunks passed out on the street and abandoned businesses. We didn't even get out of the car.
The Fort is Island history not be missed. A self tour gives you a good glimpse of what it was like under Danish rule. The views are wonderful. You can stand on the ramparts and just imagine standing watch looking for sails in the distance!
well preserved fort; plenty of plaques to explain what youre looking at. The woman who took our entrance fee recommended that we purchase the senior pass... my husband was 62 and therefore qualified. Was glad to do this as it will save us a lot of money in the future
