    However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be explored thoroughly in about an hour, which may not justify the admission price for some. A few reviewers mention that some exhibits might be too intense for very young children due to the realistic depictions of pirate life and warfare. Additionally, during peak tourist seasons, the museum can become crowded, potentially diminishing the experience for some visitors.

    Overall, the St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum is generally well-received by visitors for its educational value and unique collection. It's particularly appealing to history enthusiasts and families with older children interested in pirate lore.
