Visit the site where St. Augustine began in 1565 with your pooch at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. With more than 15 dog-friendly waterfront acres to explore, you and your pup will find plenty of activities to enjoy. You can visit the planetarium, visit the Timucua Indian village, look out from the 600-foot observation deck, and make friends with the peacocks that roam the property. Just keep Fido on a leash and clean up after him in the park.

We enjoyed our visit at Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. We were pleased to find out that it was pet friendly! Royal enjoyed himself there too!

In this picture we met Brenda Daigle who is now our friend on facebook. She works there and enjoyed giving Royal his first drink from the fountain of youth!
