Of all the fort buildings only the garrisons quarters now stand which is a museum. Entrance fee is reasonable ($4 odd). Expect to spend about 45 min to an hour if you read everything.Outside the grounds are very scenic. Great place to watch the tides come in and out.

If you like Canadian history at all, this is the place for you. One of the oldest towns, one of the oldest forts with the country’s first structure. This European settlement site has lots to offer with stunning views.

Beautiful area and lots of history. I have Acadian ancestry so always interesting to walk where my ancestors lived. The graveyard more than likely holds some of them. At least one of the buildings dates from 1708, and there's plaques with information on located all over including about Charles Fort that was also in this area. Nice place to spend a day walking around and watching the tide come and go. There's a graveyard tour at night that's highly recommended. I'm sorry I missed it.

Scenic and well maintained, we really enjoyed walking around the fort, reading and seeing the historic features. Helped us understand English presence here in 1700-1800s. One of best spots to visit in Nova Scotia!

Got there after closing time and still enjoyed walking around the fort area. Just no museum, but no fee, crowds, or parking issues either!

We arrived after hours so just did the adequate self-tour around the perimeter. There are many signs that provide the history and this is a beautiful place to walk and explore.

Stone buildings were a great place to cool down and escape the summer heat. Museum in the main building was very informative but badly needed air conditioning.
