This interactive museum gives kids and adults alike a view of the Colonial period--both Spanish and English. Activities include musket drills, blacksmith demonstrations, sailing ship construction and historical accounts from entertaining re-enactors.
Young visitors can dig in the sand boxes searching for treasure or climb the watchtower for views of the Castillo de San Marco. A pub and eatery plus a gift shop full of Colonial-inspired souvenirs are also onsite.
The Colonial Quarter also serves as music venue (tickets sold separately). If you can get a sitter in the evening, tucked inside Colonial Quarter is a romantic courtyard and stage area where acclaimed touring bands such as Buckwheat Zydeco, Southern Culture on the Skids and Della Mae play frequently.
