The fort was very interesting. A lot more information here than Fort Christiansvern actually. It was not fully open, but we were glad to find it open after several tries on other days, even though it was a children’s museum event, they let us walk through! Enjoyed all the exhibits.

I loved the fact that this Fort is set up as a museum. That really brings the history of this place back to life

Fort Frederik was inspiring. Brings you back to a much different time in history. The fort itself needs a lot of work but was recently approved for a 6.4 million dollar grant. Lots of art work from locals and tons of information about its history. Worth the 5 dollar donation to check everything out.. Having someone there to answer questions would have been a plus and would have gotten the 5th star.

$5 cash per person, no credit cards, interesting history boards on the walls of the fort. I felt like highschoolers made the boards with content. They have an art room which is very basic not actual art from that Era, and really is art from 12th graders. I think the rooms could have been staged more on the bottom of the fort. The captains quarters was staged nicely and gave realistic view of how people lived in the fort. It's self guided. Would be nice to have a guided tour offered at times.

Interesting historical site. Fees charged for entry. Nice ocean views and many rooms have been turned into galleries with offerings from local artist.

Closed on a Saturday at 2pm. Hours indicate 9am-4pm. I guess don't make a special trip just for that.

Amazing historical site. Get a guide if possible, you won’t appreciate it without knowing what its story is. The staff were amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and shared recent findings that aren’t even on display yet.

My wife and I enjoyed Fort Fredrick, however multiple of the informational centers were damaged and only had half of the pictures/infographics still up, and overall it isn't well taken care of. They blame the damage on Hurricane Maria which is probably correct, but for $5 a person they should have been able to fix it in the 4 years that it has been since that hurricane. The non damaged displays like like they hadn't been updated in at least that long either.

Small, rundown, overpriced, but the cannon are interesting to look at, and the wild chickens are delightful. They have ship models and recreation displays.
