National Historical site of one of the major forts of the Seminole Indian Wars. Not original but excellent rebuild. 1.3 mile walking trail. Excellent signage. Outstanding for history buffs.

I absolutely loved this place. It nice and peaceful. Very friendly guides that was very educational. Went on a small hike with plaque and phone interaction. I will definitely go again

Interesting. Nice clean park & grounds.Any free attractions are Great attractions.

Historical landmarks, the epic of heroes tells, a very nice place for those looking for knowledge and history.Thank you, the crew, the fort, their mother, respectable, and their service distinguished.I liked I recommend it

Not much to see. Nature trails not well kept. Fort replica very basic.

Terrific park rangers. Excellent museum. Well be back again.

Very nice historic site. Very informative. Clean very nice.

Though when I pulled up I expected something more than what it was it was very well maintained you can go up the 2 towers and look around but beyond that theres no educational plaques to explain what you are looking at and where you are. But it is a very nice area to stretch your legs and let kids run in the field.

Good historical coverage of the fort. Walls and ramparts rebuilt. Has visitor center with a video and artifacts. The knowledgeable staff said we should visit in December during the reenactments.

Very nice walk. Shaded, clean, pet friendly. Would recommend definitely.

Love the open fort, the fact you can bring your dog and the nice walking trails.

Nice grounds and a truly historical site...learned a lot!

This place is really good and fun to be at. They give you a good understanding of what happened and the demonstration they put on was realistic as it could be, but it was still cool. Inside of the fort was really interesting to see the clothing, animal skins, pottery, and kitchens they had in the fort. Going up into the watch tower, also gave a great view and how they seen when people tried to attack back then.

Great visit! Really informative, friendly guide. Went in the late afternoon, no one else around, and got my own personal tour. Free parking, free self-tour, free museum. Includes hiking trails and picnic area. Tells a great history of the Seminole Wars

Awesome reeactment of Seminole Indian attack and fort.

Great place to learn about the Seminoles treaties with America.

Nice spot to visit and explore some history (Seminole Indian War) and visit with some very friendly rangers. We got to throw tomahawks, explore the nature trails and the fort. It will take about an hour to 2 hours to fully explore. Definitely worth the time.

Only had time to look at the Fort from the car (we were on the way out of town). Planning to come back another day to do the walking trails and get a better look at the Fort.

Could have more to see but was still fun.

Great historical place. Nice trails and picnic area. You can be in and out in around 45 minutes.

The fort reconstruction is really interesting to walk around. Come early afternoon to catch the historian

Amazing craftsmanship on the fort! Really knowledgable and friendly staff. Good amount of artifacts to see as well.

My kids and I love history. So when we were down in Ocala visiting family. I took the opportunity to take them here, and teach them a little bit about the Seminole tribe. My kids really enjoyed getting to see the history, and hear some of the stories I told them about Fort King. Best part is that its completely free.

Great little find in Ocala!

A great historical park to visit.

Fun walk through with full history inside walls and outside raised gardens for the community!

This place of national significants is a wonderful,and historical!It has trails!It is good for walking!I advise coming here!(I suggest you bring water,and dont litter!Be safe!)Check out the Fort as well if you want?

Very nice recreation of the original fort. Not yet complete but it will be done soon. Enjoyed the event they had. The battle reenactment was cool.

Nice, quiet educational place

History is always interesting.

Its pretty cool its a county park and historical site

Fort King is a fascinating place to visit, The Fort still is in construction and need donating but the place is amazing that even Host reenacting battles of the 2nd seminole war on Decembers, as I know of but visit and learn the history of Fort King and the location. :]

A neat little side stop. We went on a day the guide center wasnt open. So I just googled it. Kinda cool for the littler ones. Probably would be a good place to go during an event or such.

First time visiting the historical site. I was impressed by the work done so far in restoring the fort, will return was restoration is completed.

Great place staff is 100% knowledgeable about the History and the Fort is coming along nicely

Needs a more interactive venue, like Fr. Christmas has.

It was a great experience!

Complete rebuilt Seminole Indian War fort. Plenty of room for camps.

Love history. By the way your information about the Indians in the tall wooden fenced area has an error on it. It says fo instead of to. .

Wonderful piece of history! Fort has been replicated beautifully, grounds are well cared for, vegetable garden is thriving, staff are kind and friendly. Wonderful place to take the family!

This place is great! It has no admission fee. When we first walked in, I thought, “there’s not much in here.” Then the tour guides (a husband and wife duo) started walking us around and Giving us more detail. They truly MAKE this place just as much as the history!You can tell they have a passion for it and are excited to share.They also told us that there is going to be more additions to the complex, making it more historically accurate to what was in the fort. They do a battle re-enactment every December as well. Make sure you give yourself an hour or two and even more if you want to walk the surrounding trail.

I was thrilled to be at an actual fort which is in the middle of the city and grateful they preserved it. I didnt get to go inside the museum adjacent to it, but I enjoyed walking the grounds and explaining to my daughter a bit of how soldiers used the fort. She even added her own views, and it was an interesting discussion.I wish we couldve been taught more by a park ranger, though. We went during open hours (at 5 PM), but there was no one in sight and the museum was closed.

Anybody want to set up a nerf gun battle?

Not really much to see or do here.Okay if your a history buff. It not a place to spend the day.

A must-see landmark with a rich history. The staff are extremely nice and informative.

The Fort is period correct,great to walk around.The nature trail is very nice,wooded,wide,with a spring and creek.On site visitors center with facilities.

The volunteer actually expanded and corrected some of my SC grammar school history.This place was incredibly interesting. From the street, it looks like just a fort replica but inside the visitor center, they had several displays. We also watched a short film that explains the history and some of the relationship with Osceola.Well worth the stop!!

Lovely place. Enjoyed my experience there and all the children who wove their own bracelets.

I love history and the fort is kool

We werent able to enjoy the whole tour experience because we had an hour delay but what we did get to do, was great!

Awesome place I did not get to do the tour but Im so glad that they have it and redid it for everyone to see.

Another forgotten hidden jewel. If you are a history fan, this is a stop you need to make. Even though it is now in a residential area you can visualize the terrain and understand why this was an important place back in the 1820-1840 period. The staff and especially the volunteers are amazing and you can tell they love their site and what they do.

This place is amazing it got a lot of fighting of Indians and the British

Outstanding reconstruction, awesome place to learn about the history around the Seminole Indian wars....

Wonderful piece of history! Enjoyed my experience.

The events, like the Haunted Trail that take place here are very cool and a lot of fun.

This is a historic work in progress. Last time I went they had the main fort walls constructed. There are plans for the garrison and the rest of the fort. I enjoy the reenactments and the living history of visiting the blacksmiths, weavers, and other hand crafts exhibited at the museum. This is not available all the time, yet. Check their schedule for current events.

We always like to explore different places and came across a sign for Fort King...decided to give it a try. No fort that we could see but there was a house there so we decided to see whats what. There was a trail map in the door so we took that planning on just walking around. As we were leaving the door opened and Bill R. Invited us in... He is the Fort King Resourse and program coordinator. Very very knowledgeable of the area. The fort will be at the site next year...they have already cleared a very nice walking trail..saw an owl in the tree..magnificent! Its worth just a poke around if you are in the area! Theres lots of artifacts and history galore at the site. Cant wait to see it when its done. Fort King was the furthest inland fort in Florida! They will be recreating the original fort in its exact location!Thanks Bill, you were fun to talk too!!!

Great fort to visit, especially when there is an event.

Fun place to visit. The classes they host are also fun. Really enjoyed the broom making class.

Neat to see it the way it was. You can also enter the buildings in the fort. Pets welcome

My Spooky Nature Trail adventure at this park and it was very much fun!

Wonderful so much information such nice people.

A piece of local history being preserved in a very real fashion . Was impressed with progress to date. Give you a real sense of what Early Florida/Marion County was like !

They do a great job. Staff is knowledgeable and events are very relevant. Nice little park hidden in a neighborhood. If you see a crowd Id suggest stopping and checking it out. Very affordable too

Great little museum and historical exhibit. The movie is a great summary of the sites historical significance.

Very enjoyable and informative. A project worth supporting.

Nice replica fort, not much to see or do but hreat for a picture taking

Went to the Valentines event with music and dance. It was fabulous! The music was awesome, the lady that called the dances was fun, sweet and very thorough for those of us that didnt know what to do. The others who attended were kind, fun and very nice.Yes one has to walk up hill like another had mentioned and perhaps a little sandy for those in a wheelchair, yet it is simply a wonderful place with history and a great staff.

It was very interesting. Osceola was jailed there and there was a battle. Check out the film in the free museum

Very informative. Very nice hiking trail with placards spaced along it, with local and historical information. The fort its self is under construction but still very impressive.

It was really nice my son loved the towers very relaxing

A wonderful place to learn some Florida history. The video shown in the visitor center is very well done and crammed full of interesting information. They have some interesting artifacts on display and of course you can tour the fort. Well worth the stop.

I would like to go back after the Finish the fort.

Great! The staff have us a personal your of the fort and nearby springs. They also gave us a bottle of water to drink as it was HOT!

Really liked history

Its a nice place to walk around and get some exercise and watch a movie

Fort king is such a amazing landmark for all adults and children. They teach you what the Seminoles did to fight the soldiers. Amazing place 5 stars.

A work in progress but has great potential

The nature is so beautiful & we ran into an Orange tree! I love it!

Nice educational adventure cant wait for the addition.

Very lovely walking trails with an awesome we code sign system that will speak the history to you as you walk the trails. The fort is great, and there’s a secret rain fed creek and spring area in the back. Very awesome location, parking, and friendly park rangers. Great place for a history lesson!

Great place for a history lesson. Parking is scarce though. During events, you have to park about 1/4 mile down the street and either walk to the park from there or wait for the incredibly slow shuttle. The events there are cheap or free though so I cant complain too much. The rebuilt fort is pretty cool.

Had fun with the Grandkids at the Fort King Haunted Trail !!.

The badger saga is over! I was meandering along, when the badger spotted me. He sprinted towards me and was about to attack when who should come along but Florida Man! He seized the critter and fed it a Ham Sandwich of Justice, and all was well.

Excellent experience very knowledgeable gentleman at the desk very nice movie telling the history of Fort king

My wife, I and our service dog saw the Historical sign and swung in. Whats to see ..right? A monument and tablet? Hardly.Two older gentlemen (Im 64) proceeded to take us through the artifacts. We sat through an informative 12-13 minute movie. We were then guided to the springs that the Fort utilized for water. Think about it. In the 1830s Chief Micanopy(yes..as in the town) surprised and killed the entire Garrison.Fort King is an ongoing archeological dig. Funds are as slow. Theres a good start however.My wife and I walked away happier, and better educated about Ocala history, than when we arrived. If you love history of America, Florida and Ocala, this is a must see.

Great place to explore. Have a great museum with artifacts. Short film explains the history of the area. Nice people there to a answer questions. Havent tried the walking trails yet.

Moving along slowly. Not really a things to do, places to see kind of place, yet. Maybe years down the road. Right now its not much more than an fence enclosure.

The place looked awesome

I took my sons there for the Ft. King Reenactment and had a great time. There were a lot of things to learn and do about Floridas history and how people lived in the 1800s.

The visitor center was closed (it was a Sunday) so it was pretty boring just wandering around the empty fort, but Id love to go again when construction is finished and its not a Sunday! The grounds were beautiful and Im sure would make for a nice walk.

Very friendly staff.Very informative .Interesting artifacts

Very historical place. You should watch the video before touring the fort.

Interesting museum. Fort is really neat! Excited to see what else they will add to it.

Keifer is awesome!

Great history, very interesting, Jim phillips great guy, lots knowledge...,

Its a great place to learn about the wars with the Seminole Native Americans and also how the pioneers lived and survived.

Great shady trails. Perfect for little and big children alike. The Fort is a great space to walk around in.

Fort was very interesting. It was educational. We cant wait to see what else develops. I hope eventual they have more information about the seminoles
