      Read the beginning of the book, will NOT be on private property or gardens. If you come there to probe, they will trespass you! Because you are to stupid to NOT read the beginning of the book, LOL, they don't say all of that, I do!!!!!! This is an amazing archeological park if you stop to understand the significance! Good luck, but stop asking how much you have to drink to get back to 20! Not funny, ARE Y'ALL STUPID?

    Now I kind of wish that I had gone there while in St Augustine. It seemed just to be a tourist trap when I was there. I didn't realize that it held actual history.

    Many field trips In school and some off record cup fulls made me a believer. 48 years old drawing bulls of the year at Texas rodeos I state my testimony. Maybe bravery, joints healing or plainly youthful traits whatever it is that is in the water I have that to claim. I could climb a corral panel like a lemar or have a heaping portion of a hoof or horn sandwich and still made the very next rodeo. 🤘

    Ponce De Leon was almost certain to have landed in Melbourne Fl. His voyage was even recreated in 1990

      @@keithwilson9378 I am aware that there are streets named after him lol! i live in St Augustine and been in Florida all my life. I would research it a bit you would be surprised. A lot of folklore. Just look at the fact/fiction of the Fountain of Youth. Not saying he was never here...

    You use the phrase "world class theme park" very loosely.

    Appreciate the history lesson, and all the images of the fountain of youth. I pass by... But, didn't went inside since I didn't have the whole family with me and I want to experience the place with the whole family. I seems big enough to have more than 6 ft apart.

    I was there in the late 1970's. There was not much there at the time. Only one spiget dispensed water out of the side of a wall, not the same location as now, staff was rude, the whole room smelled of sulpher.
