You are set for an unsurpassed experience just outside of St. Augustine, FL. This package includes wonderful family opportunities; tickets to the following attractions:



  • Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth, Admission for 3 adults & 2 youth The culture of North America changed forever in the year 1513. In April, the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon landed while searching for the fabled isle of Bimini. The exact landing spot where Ponce and his men came ashore remains unknown, but it was apparently somewhere between the Cape Canaveral area and the mouth of the St. Johns River. Searching for this historic site, archeologists have conducted numerous "digs" at the Fountain of Youth, a National Archeological Park, where a Timucuan Indian village called Seloy was located and where the city of St. Augustine had its beginning. At this site, there is a fountain that may have been the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon was searching for.

  • St. Augustine Scenic Cruise (1.5 hours) (expires 11/30/13) Relax and enjoy a one hour and fifteen minute cruise aboard the Victory III. Narrated tours by the Captain provide an incomparable way to view St. Augustine’s historical landmarks and natural sites of interest.

  • Pirate & Treasure Museum, 4 admissions (no expiration) The St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum is truly the ultimate pirate adventure! Here you'll experience an amazing interactive journey through 300 years of high seas adventure and an unparalleled collection of rare pirate artifacts--one of the largest authentic collections in the world.

  • St. Augustine Lighthouse & Museum, family fun four pack, 4 admissions (no expiration) A Spanish watchtower, built in the late 1500's was the predecessor of the present St. Augustine Lighthouse. St. Augustine is the site of the oldest aid to navigation in North America. The original watchtower became Florida's first lighthouse in 1824. However, by 1870, the tower was threatened by shoreline erosion and construction began on the current lighthouse. The new tower was completed in 1874. The old tower succumbed to the sea during a storm in 1880.

  • A Family Fun Pass at the St. Augstine Alligator Farm, Valid for Admission for Up to Four (4) People! Founded in 1893, the St. Augustine Alligator Farm is one of Florida’s oldest zoological attractions. For over a century, it has entertained millions of visitors, lured by the awesome presence of captive reptiles, long regarded in the popular imagination as at once mysterious, dangerous and frightening. A true piece of Floridana, the St. Augustine Alligator Farm has inspired popularization of the alligator in the national consciousness and helped to fashion an image for the state. In recognition of the unique historical contributions which the Alligator Farm has made to the visitor industry in Florida and St. Augustine, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is the story of the St. Augustine Alligator Farm’s origins and its role of educating and entertaining visitors to Florida and St. Augustine.


Although a golfer's paradise, there’s plenty to do for non-golfers, as well. Practice your backhand on the tennis courts, shoot some hoop on the basketball court, perfect your spike at the volleyball net or pump some iron in the fitness center. After you’ve worked up a sweat, cool down with some leisurely laps in the spectacular heated pool. The showplace of Grande Villas, the pool is as refreshing to the eyes as it is to swimmers and sunbathers.


All of the World Golf Village amenities are also yours to enjoy. Restaurants, shopping, an IMAX® theater and the World Golf Hall of Fame® are just a short walk away. Enhance your golf attire at the PGA TOUR STOP®, the largest golf shop in the U.S. or try out the interactive putting greens at the Hall of Fame.


This year-round golfer’s Mecca offers two championship 18-hole courses designed by legendary golf pros Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. And that’s just for starters.


The historic city of Saint Augustine is only a short 15 minute drive. You can visit remnants of the oldest city in the nation, first explored by Ponce de Leon in 1513. Witness the Gilded Age through Henry Flagler’s hotels and churches.

This is a Live Event Item.
