Bridget Ruuska:

"The fort is well worth the $25 entrance fee, the beautiful beaches are icing on top. Please please get the app and do the walking tour, it's well set up and makes the experience so much better. The kids had a blast exploring, and I'd narrate the tour so they actually learned about what they were looking at."

"The Gulf Islands National Seashore - Ft Pickens area is pretty cool to see. It was a hot September and the fort had areas to keep you cool. Bring plenty of water as their is only 2 places to buy drinks if you plan to spend several hours to see the historic buildings. You can see the Pensacola lighthouse from the fort. There is a fee to enter the area."

Hey Gardners!:

"One word could sum it up- "go!" A fort to explore, surrounded by the gorgeous powdery beaches and gulf waters- go! Also, check the Blue Angels practice schedule. You can see them fly from here. There are a few restroom options throughout and a really great covered picnic area to let you eat and rest for a few minutes out of the sun. If you have kiddos ask about the Jr. Ranger program. They can earn a badge. Plan to spend the day by bringing sunscreen, drinks, food and plenty snacks. The beaches have a lot to explore themselves so bring a net, fishing poles, buckets, sand castle building supplies, swimwear, towels, and baby powder for the excess sand if the beach is of interest. If you plan and pack ahead you will have a wonderful day learning, exploring and then soaking up some beach time."

"LOVE GINS! If you are a beach lover, bird watcher, and you want to be off the beaten path, this is the beach for you. Great clean facilities, nature trails, sunsets, sunrises. The ocean is clean, emerald green, clear water. The campgrounds are well run and taken care of. I love the history of Fort Pickens. It's a 5 star place all the way! Highly recommended"

"This was a fun place to spend a few hours. Even if handicapped it was set up so you could essentially drive around and enjoy the site. If you wanted to walk it, I highly suggest downloading the national park app as it walks you through the fort in a numbered order and tells you what each stop is. Definitely more organized than other forts I had been to in the past. While my kids weren’t with me this trip I could see them enjoying it."
