st. simons lighthouse museum印象

A lighthouse keeper's job was critical to navigation of the seas and extremely difficult. The tour provided a lot of information on the duties and the life of a keeper and his family. It was an isolated location that did not pay well and had a myriad of tasks associated with it.

I was here on a Saturday and the place was busy but nothing insane. The tours and museum are nice because they let you go at your own pace. I was never one to think of how important lights towers was but after being here and seeing it and learning about it my mind has changed.

After reading Eugenia Price's book, we had to tour this lighthouse and hear about the history. Our guide was engaging and informative and brought history alive

Pretty lighthouse and history. Neat view. It teaches you so much about the area and the fishing/shrimping industries got started.

Thank you for visiting the St. Simons Lighthouse Museum. Adult tickets are $12 and children ages 6-12 are $5 and include the Lighthouse Museum and Maritime Center. We hope you enjoyed your visit and will return soon.

The reefs off St Simons have been ship traps for centuries. This lighthouse probably saved many lives during its life, but it's not especially interesting. A walk around is more than enough, but if you climb to the top, the view is usually good enough for you to actually see the waves breaking over the sand bars and reefs offshore.

Really informative displays and super gift shop. It was a difficult life keeping a lighthouse. I learned several things I hadn't known.

It was raining and very very cold, but we went anyway.Climbing the Lighthouse was very good exercise, but we couldn't go outside as it was too slippery.The Staff were very accommodating and answered every question we threw at them.Take you Camera

The people who operate the lighthouse have done a nice job putting together historical information, an interesting video, and some items on display. The lighthouse itself is in good shape. Like all lighthouses, the real attraction is in climbing to the top and experiencing the scenic view. I've visited the St. Simons lighthouse a number of times and as I get older, the climb takes a little longer, but it's always worth the effort.

Beautiful little lighthouse. If I remember correctly, it is 129 stairs to the top and not too bad of a climb. There is a small museum that includes the former lighthouse keepers' living quarters and artifacts. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The admission fee was $12 for adults and also included the Maritime Museum with your wristband, however, we did not visit it. The lighthouse and Museum do not take long, so don't expect this to be an all day affair. There is a pier right near the lighthouse, which several visitors walked out to, although we did not.
