Description
Visit a bit of the old world at St Augustine's historic St George Street and Spanish Quarter Village. St George Street is a quaint pedestrian mall, closed to all motorized traffic. Most of the buildings are reproductions of homes and shops one would have seen in St Augustine centuries ago. Plenty of shops and restaurants are available and a myriad of street performers provides entertainment - you can meet with and talk to colonists and soldiers as they go about their tasks, mimicking daily life during the mid-18th century. Admission is $6.89 for adults and $4.24 for students.
