Old Jail Museum

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Old Jail in St. Augustine, FL! The experience was not only fun but also deeply emotional and memorable. Lizzie is truly on another level—she’s a master at bringing history to life through storytelling and making you feel like you’re part of the story yourself. Thank you so much for everything. We loved every moment and truly love this place.

I've been here twice before so this would be my third time. Our tour guide was so much fun as she explained all the details with expression. You have to make it a point to also go inside and tour the extra stuff. The gift shop had so much to choose from as far as souvenirs to buy. The staff all over the place was nice. There is a restroom that talks to you while you're using it. That was interesting. Make sure you bring quarters with you so that you can play the machines inside the museum. There is plenty of parking.

So so fun! Informational and interesting! Check this place out you will not regret it! It was history but time in a fun and exciting new way where the tour guides are dressed up and act as though they are inmates. Great memories!

This tour was so unique and fact-filled, but most of all, fun! Viola was such a hoot! She did a great job! She really made it feel like we were “back in time” and was so engaging with our group.

This was my family’s first trip to St. Augustine and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide than Patrick!! He was FABULOUS!! He gave a very informative and entertaining tour of the old jail! We learned alot and had a fun time doing so! Would definitely recommend not missing out on these tours!🤘🏻😁 Thanks again for making our day special!🫶🏻

Fascinating and morbid bit of Florida history. We had an excellent host (Viola) who did an excellent job putting a lot of entertainment and energy into the tour. Highly recommended.

We visited Old Town Trolley and the Old Jail Museum, it was great! The staff were very animated and lively in their prisoner costumes! The museum was informative and had a nice gift shop. The trolley was very convenient and the guide was very friendly. It typically came earlier than the 15 minute pickup intervals so it was easy to hop back on. Very good bang for your buck!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a local, this is one of my favorite spots to bring friends and family when they visit St. Augustine! The Old Jail Museum is such a hidden gem—even after living here, it still gives me chills (in the best way). The actors are amazing at bringing history to life, and you can feel the stories in the walls. It’s not just a building—it’s a full experience. You get a glimpse into what life was really like behind bars in the late 1800s, and the tours are packed with both eerie facts and local lore. It’s the perfect mix of spooky, educational, and entertaining. Whether you’re a tourist or you’ve lived here forever, it’s 100% worth checking out at least once. And if you’re into paranormal stuff? Let’s just say…you might not leave alone 👻 Highly recommend for locals looking to fall back in love with the city’s weird and wonderful history.
