Very neat museum. I would recommend going to the museum prior to visiting the rest of the island. Lots of information and history about the island.

Great museum tucked a block off the main drag. Dont hesitate to take a guided tour with a docent. Mr. Birdsong is a gem of a volunteer. His love of the area shines through. The displays are incredibly professional for a museum in a small town. I really enjoyed stamping my paper as I roamed from room to room reading the displays. Certainly worth the admission price.

I went bc the old jail located inside is supposed to be haunted but you know how that goes! 8 bucks for everyone. No special prices. Small and easy to get through. There is also a tour but my timing wasnt good to join thay.

Very interesting and informative. Especially good for first time visitors. They explain the history of Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach very well.

A nice place to visit in order to understand a little of Amelia Island history. Not real big, but a good use of space. Different aspects of history separated into rooms. They kept some of the former prison-use aspects when renovating. I would have liked to see more of this internally, though.Kid friendly. The children can collect seal imprints as they go through the museum and get a treasure when they finish.

Very interesting and informative. Especially good for first time visitors.

A great local resource and always new things to see

Excellent information about Amelia Island. Docents are well informed and present their information very well. Interesting exhibits and instructional materials.

This place right here, is amazingly awesome, we loved it & will be back with the remaining of the family that didnt come along.

The museum is set up in an old jail, complete with former jail cell. A very complete history of Amelia Island, the docent was a wealth of information. One display included a crocheted US Capital, very clever.

We really enjoyed visiting this museum. Lots of hands on exhibits for the kids and adults. I recommend taking the tour led by the docent as you learn a great deal about the history of the island and the state.

Wonderful place to visit in Amelia Island. Malye sure you do the guided tour with a docent. You will love it!

A lot of hands on stuff. Great place to kill 2 hours and learn some history. I would recommend it.

For the price, the actual self-guided tour was a huge disappointment. No military or senior citizen discounts - the comment was there were too many military and senior folks in the area and if the museum gave discounts, they would be out of business. The history itself is interesting and the layout of the museum is informative, but for the price of $8 a person, you should save yourself the money, especially if its a nice day.

Amazing experience. Kid friendly. Of course in this weather bring blankets or jackets.

We visited Amelia Island Muesum on Museum day. My husband and I had a blast doing the complimentary scavenger hunt and learning about Fernandinas history! I enjoyed the interactive objects throughout the museum the most. You can listen to historic phone calls on the designated telephones, guess the items in the barrells, and push buttons for audio learning.

Great place. Great displays.

Excellent rainy day activity! We breezed through in about 2 hours and read most of the information available about the island. We managed to get a storyteller who spent almost an hour with us, telling is the history of the island and answering many questions we had as a group. Very cool to know this is a haunted place because it was formerly a jail!

About what one would expect in a municipal museum for a town with a lot of history.

Amazing Amelia Island treasure! Had a wonderful learning experience today!

Surprisingly amazing for such a small museum. Even my young Elementary School kids loved it and wanted to spend more time. We were there for 2 hours and could easily spend one more. The staff was voluntary but v incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Very well kept museum.

Very great place if in town give it a visit

Enjoyed learning about the history of Amelia Island! The docent was very informative & had so many stories to tell. I really enjoyed my visit & highly recommend this as a must do if youre a first or second visitor!

Nice small local history museum!

Staff was very informative. They have a little map that the kids do!! Very fun and educational !

Went here with my son for his first grade field trip. They had us do a scavenger hunt and from what I could tell they really enjoyed it a lot. On top of seeing all the really neat things that they didnt know about the town they live in. Really great place to take the family or just go to stroll around.

Go ! Fascinating building and docent was very nice. Interactive stuff for the kids and if you are into history you will like it. It is kinda of spooky but I wont give the surprise away.

This Museum packed an enormous amount of History into what seems like a small space. The docent, Dee, who took us through each room and each era, was entertaining, informative, and really brought history to life. When a small child joined us later in the tour, she engaged her and made her part of the tour and the child was obviously delighted to help out. Really, its the docents who make this a wonderful experience and the $8 you pay for the tour is a small amount to ask for such a well-kept museum. Its also wonderful to explore on your own. Period pieces, wonderful photographs and illustrations and a great collection of items that make Amelia Island a historical treasure. I would absolutely recommend going here and cant wait to bring my daughter with me next time.

Happened to walk in the perfect timing to catch the free tour with their volunteer Barbra, she was wonderful! The kids also got to do a scavenger hunt when walking around that included stamps and a prize at the end for completing the sheet so they were entertained as well. Definitely learned a lot!

Wonderful afternoon to spend and learn some history about the island. The curator and staff has done a great job.

Very informative and friendly staff whether you were just looking for a brochure like we were or were looking for something to do.

A nice place to visit in order to understand a little of Amelia Island history.

Enjoyed this museum thats in the old jail building. . Stopped in to learn of the islands history. Very colorful history that is very well chronologically documented. Content is well presented. Was very interesting to learn about the town we will be calling home this year. Definitely worth a visit.

Fine small history museum in a converted city jail.

It is a very nice small and very well kept museum that you want to visit more than one time! You feel the history here. Loved it.

I had the best time learning the history of Amelia Island. I dont kno the name of the lady that gave us the tour but she was amazing !!!! She was such a phenomenal story teller and history buff. She was fun to listen to. She gave us ideas of where to drive to to visit more of the history of the island which we did and enjoyed. Thank u

Great museum!

Very nice place. Its small, but you can still learn some interesting facts! We had a guide and she was the best. Very funny and friendly with the children. We went as a group for a HS field trip. Im glad that we went!

Very informative. Only 8$ and I learned a ton of local history. Went on a Saturday, it wasnt very crowded gives you a break from the summer heat.

Great place to visit! Learn do much history.

Small museum in the towns old jail. Decent information about the Islands history. Inexpensive.

Nice small museum detailing the history of Amelia Island. Free hours on Friday nights from 4-6. Scavenger hunt for the kids.

Interesting museum--who knew that Amelia Island was so important to US history! Docent was terrific!

My family and I loved this place. We will be definitely going back!!!

This place is amazing if you want to learn the history of the island...and the island has some pretty amazing history.

My husband and I had the best time and the lady at the museum was informative and funny

Nice museum chronicling the history of Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach with lots of local history. The Docents are certainly entertaining and well versed in local stories of the inhabitants. Well worth your time.

Perfect place to kill some time if its rainy. We were a little too early for the guided tour but theres tons of interesting info to see and read. They have a scavenger hunt for the kids who get a prize at the end. The staff was very nice. The building is an old jail and has a great vibe.

This fort holds surprises and great stories by civil War man. A must see and spend the day attend this State Park beautifully presented with trees, trails, bird gazing, beach of course. Bring a picnic or stay overnight. Great park on the Island!

Very interesting exhibits. The museum covers several hundred years of Amelia Island history. Very informative.

Excellent displays of 400+ years of history on Amelia Island. Docent-led tours at 10 and 2 daily are included in price of admission and are well worth ones time. Temporary exhibit changes every few months. Walking tours of historic district available as well as pub crawl and ghost tour. Highly recommended.

Amelia Island is a beautiful getaway. I cant wait to come back.

Great place to visit for all ages, self guided or with a guide. Great interactive pieces along with hours of reading posted throughout. Cute gift shop, also.

Quite extraordinary and with incredible insights into the local history. Weve lived in North Florida for close to 20 years, and there were several things we never knew about the history of this area. Totally worth it!

Nice little museum. We arrived just in time for a tour with a guide. Amelia island has so much more history than I ever new of. Worth checking it out is your interested in history.

Love this place! Great area for kids with a pirate ship and dress up clothes. Good place to learn the history of Amelia island, and pretty gardens. They love the community, too.

A really cute hidden gem of a museum and a really great place to take the family.

We had a lot of fun. They offer guided tours and that was great. Very knowledgeable staff.

Very informative, staff was super friendly and helpful.

Excellent docents! Get there before 11 for an hour long guided tour. Pirate exhibit for kids. Very well put together for a small town museum

Lots of interesting subject matters.

Great tour of homes.

I love working here.

History and museums are a lifelong avocation. AIM is in a small building but loaded with information on the islands surprisingly colorful history. The only negative - our tour docent. Frankly, was worst Ive ever encountered. I feel badly for saying so, but he needs to organize his thoughts into a coherent presentation. Wasted 2 hours of my time constantly repeating confusing stories about Amelias flags. He cost you 2 extra stars above.

They have a nice guided tour that provides lots of background information.

A must visit museum if you are in Amelia Island. A fun way to learn about Amelia Island.

You can learn allot here

Take over all of our first time guests here.its a wonderful place to learn about the history of this island

Great if you like reading signs with a lot of words on them.

Very nice place to visit if you like history. Nice displays and interactive.

Great history and great museum historian for guided tours.

Great historical tour and information about the 5 flags of the island.

Fun place to visit.

A fascinating and well done display of the rich history of Amelia Island. Great rainy day activity. Highly recommend!

This museum is in a repurposed jail building. It is small enough to skim in an hour but detailed enough to spend several hours examining everything. Stick around for a tour! Tour guide Dee gave an impressive 4000-year history of Amelia Island.

Friendly staff. Even had a very polite young man (on staff) hold the door open for me and my wife as we walked up to the building. I was about to pay admission, then realizing I only had 10 dollars in cash any my Amex card. Fortunately they only charge 4 for military/veterans. The museum had awesome displays and very detailed information on the history of Amelia Island. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because all of the scavenger hunt stamps were broke. Also there were some out of place objects lying around. Overall, the museum was great. I love to see a town take such pride and preserving its past.

Lots of community involvement

Great place full of history

Great historical museum, all about the Florida history back in the 1400s. Inexpensive and highly recommended!

Definitely worth the visit! It was very informative and collecting the stamps was a fun addition!!

Im sure Vietnam vets really hate walking into a museum thats supposed to be about local history only to have to recall how their service was so shamefully disregarded by our country in a surprise exhibit thats wholly unrelated.Museum was great overall, but I hate it when curators insist on slapping you in the face with liberal multiculturalism instead of just depicting the historical facts.

DULL..PAID MEMBERSHIP LAST YEAR ... DID NOT EVEN RECEIVED A THANKS FORJOINING.Typical southern attitude (We moved from CA) making you feel that you are not part of the locals: Sad to say, but true.

Wonderful place to learn about our islands history

Interesting artifacts, front lobby assistant seemed out of sorts as unable to use register, not working, confused on how to handle customers entering

Great place for parents with children. Young children will see plenty to engage then. Adults, at the same time, will enjoy learning about the history of Amelia Island.

Wonderful place!

Worth a visit! In just an hour or so you can get a real feel for old Florida and the history of Amelia Island.

Enjoyed this one with friends. History with some interaction for the kids

The best scavenger hunt Ive had in my life. Got these guys as a prize

Interesting old jail. Got sense of local history. Would go again.

Very interactive and learned of all different aspects of the history if the Island

Great place to learn about local history.

Nice place to visit an learn

Kinda lame. No real historic artifacts. Really small

Great experience and I learned a lot.

Very well done

Admission is high for the locality.

Small place, was an old jail, most info had to be read, alot of low end re-creations, but they didnt seem well funded...the lady at the front gave us a fairly extensive history of the island.

Super interesting

Great experience !
