Fountain of Youth Gift Shop, St. Augustine FL

The Fountain of Youth property was informative and exciting. As a Florida homeschool parent I was elated to take my daughter and best friend during our recent trip to Jacksonville and St Augustine.
As we do at any museum, exhibits, etc we headed to the Gift Shop to stock up on cool merch, I LOVE supporting local businesses through their merchandise.
It’s a crazy mix of items, more so what you would find in the beach gift shops throughout the US.
We grabbed a couple items that I know we wouldn’t find anywhere else ($80 worth of items between us)
Honestly I am giving such a low star review because of Patty, the lack of customerservice and attitude was disgusting. Both my best friend and I didn’t want to carry a purse and opted to grab $100 bill each and our phones for Apple Pay.
Checking out separately our bills were about $40 each when I went to hand Patty my hundred dollar bill she stated that they did not have change, which is completely understandable and I was pulling up my Apple Pay when she threw my hundred dollar bill at me across the counter. Honestly I was ready to leave my items and walk out but my best friend grabbed my stuff and just paid all together with her hundred dollar bill. I will definitely visit the fountain of youth again as it has a great history however I will never spend another dollar in the gift shop. It was the follow up attitude, the lack of care for customers, and the disorganized staff that will keep us away from the gift shop for good.

Kitschy but neat. History buffs will appreciate. I did drink from the fountain and lived to tell about it.

It's always better to buy items at the gift shop from the actual attraction than from a generic gift shop in a vacation town. Prices were fair, employees were friendly, and the air conditioning was welcomed!

Typical gift/ souvenir shop. Drinks, shirts, stuff for kids & adults. T shirts etc etc. Staff was great she was joking around right with us.

I nice place to learn some more Florida history and even some Puerto Rican. I was glad to come and visit.

All 4 of us found something we couldn't live without here. Highly recommend popping in and making memories!

America's oldest attractions has one of the oldest gift shops ;) It's what you would expect.

Mostly junk, tacky clothing, made in China junk.people who work there are nice and friendly.

Nice staff. They sell great souvenirs for St. Augustine. You can even take home a bottle of the fountain of youth.

Want exactly what I expected but it was a beautiful area and the fact that you can drink from the fountain is pretty cool. I loved the peacocks that wander around the property! The weapon demonstrations were definitely a highlight as well but beware they are very loud!
