The Fountain of Youth Gift Shop is a treasure and a cute, quirky place to hit the souvenir jackpot. Visitors can pick up bottled water from the Fountain of Youth itself as a souvenir, along with a little something for everyone without breaking the bank. The shop carries bottles of cold water, and the staff members are friendly, fun to banter with, and full of interesting information.
This shop is part of the larger Fountain of Youth Park, an attraction with a retro roadside vibe that covers many points of interest. The park is laid out well for a pleasant stroll through its grounds and multiple exhibits. These include the fountain, a planetarium, an archaeological dig exhibit, a blacksmith demonstration, historical ship weaponry, a viewing tower, and a walkway with native Florida plants. Beautiful peacocks roam the area. The experience is educational and entertaining, featuring well-timed, short guided talks at most stations led by knowledgeable staff. It is a highly recommended visit for families, offering true educational and live experiences that both adults and children enjoy.
