    We went several years ago and it was a great experience. Loved walking around and talking to residence.

    I need to know about this cradle. I experienced what can only be expressed as an emotional phenomenon. When I went into the officers quarters I was overwhelmed with the crushing heartache you would feel when a loved one passes. I pushed forward into the room approached the beautiful mahogany cradle and the feeling became more intense. I backed away from the cradle sobbing. My husband thought me nuts and my children I held closer. When I left the officers quarters it felt …? Lighter??? I felt at peace, I felt I had been there before. I went downstairs and continued our wonderful St Croix walking tour. I have been touched by St Croix and vow to protect it. Thank you Mother of that sunburnt nature girl

    Mid-18th century Danish fort located at the western end of St. Croix. Couldn’t view the inside as it was closed. Beautiful location on the water.

    My wife and I enjoyed Fort Fredrick, however multiple of the informational centers were damaged and only had half of the pictures/infographics still up, and overall it isn't well taken care of. They blame the damage on Hurricane Maria which is probably correct, but for $5 a person they should have been able to fix it in the 4 years that it has been since that hurricane. The non damaged displays like like they hadn't been updated in at least that long either.

    Interesting place of history to visit. There is an entrance fee. Self guided tour. Could be cleaned up a bit. Unnecessary litter on the grounds.

    This place is beautifully placed at the front of the bay and only costs $5. There is a bit to see and has a some good views. The people are very kind and helpful.

    $5 cash per person, no credit cards, interesting history boards on the walls of the fort. I felt like highschoolers made the boards with content. They have an art room which is very basic not actual art from that Era, and really is art from 12th graders. I think the rooms could have been staged more on the bottom of the fort. The captains quarters was staged nicely and gave realistic view of how people lived in the fort. It's self guided. Would be nice to have a guided tour offered at times.

    Visited as part of a walking tour from our cruise ship. Lots of history, some of it eye opening regarding the slave trade. The place itself is in poor condition, not restored like so many other forts elsewhere. However, the exhibits are interesting and worth seeing. There are some difficult stairs if you want to see it all. Living conditions must have been abysmal in its day.

    So much history here! I visited for the first time and learned so much about this site. The pictures and video do it no justice!

    During our honeymoon in St Croix this was a great tour we did ourselves. I’m December 2023 entrance was $5 per person so we figured why not? All the history we read and saw was remarkable. The views from the top of the fort are great. Not to mention the kind staff we encountered that day. Glad we embarked on a trail of history through this fort and at such a shocking low cost!

    The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The art exhibits were amazing. There is so much history to learn that you have to make more than one trip. I will definitely be back.

    I geeked out over the history. Glad we took the time. Walked by it a couple different times before stopping

    Interesting small fort to explore, but highly recommended while in town to learn about local history. It doesn’t take a lot of time to visit while already in Frederiksted.

    Not as big as the fort in Christiansted. But there is a nice beach town vibe.

    Staff not that great, place needs some help but heck it was built in 1760...so it's doing pretty well.

    Nice area just wish that there was a little more to do and see even though it was a pretty nice and quite tour of the fort. It was a self guided tour with signs along the way for you to read and learn of the local history and the fort.

    A treasure to have this interesting Danish-era fort open for visitors. The fort has most of the spaces open for interpretation. The exhibits cover a wide variety of topics providing a broad understanding of Virgin Islands history. Many of the exhibits show their age and some can be difficult to read due to fading. A nice collection of West Indian furniture in the Commandant's quarters.

    Old and run down jist like a fort from the 1700's should be. Cost $5 to roam around or free to take pictures from the ground level like we did. Town and landscaping around it is very scenic and taken care of.

    My mom, husband, and I enjoyed this place so much. The views were incredible at the top. The artwork was moving.
