I visited Lightener Museum back in 2007 and it was gorgeous; the history, the atmosphere, and the artifacts are what brought me back. This place has changed so much. The artifacts are still there and as interesting as ever, but this place needs to be restored. There were loose tiles in the bath house, with no indication to watch our... More

Incredible museum to see...... a time capsule......a must see! We visited the museum to see all the historical items relevant to St. Augustine and Florida. We were also mesmerized by building itself.... the architecture is stunning!

Liked the musem. Lots of displays. My wife became bored because so much to see. Loved the village set up.

Although I've been to St. Augustine many times, I've never visited the Lightner Museum until this past May. I'm so glad I finally decided to make it a part of my trip.

There are all types of displays, statues, works of art, etc. It is multi-level and to me was a great visit. They also have a music room where... More

I liked seeing the antiques and glassware. There was a big variety including the Turkish bath and the science displays. I love the courtyard and feeding the fish.
