    We visited on a weekday morning. As a family of four, we were offered a discounted family pack admission for $20. We started with museum. Under current COVID-19 restrictions, there are a limited number of people allowed in the small museum. We waited in line a few minutes (10-15) for this. I recommend visiting the museum first in order to have a better appreciation for what you will view in the fort. The history of the site is impressive, though much of it somber. My kids, ages 8 and 11, thoroughly enjoyed exploring the fort. We packed water bottles which were much needed in the summer heat. See more..

    This trail is the short trail in the Bon Secour NWR, and really delivers a lot of "bang for the buck". There is a pretty sizable parking lot and admission is free. This trail is easy to walk or hike and includes several benches to rest upon as you go your way around the trail. The trail includes wonderful deep woods views, as well as a marsh and the coastline of Little Lagoon. There is also a kayak/canoe launch as well. NOTE: There are no restrooms here so plan accordingly. Even at a very leisurely pace, you can hike or walk this trail in 30 minutes to an hour. See more..
