Creator's Key Takeaways

I love San Juan. Absolutely love it.

The forts are so much fun to visit and walk around and explore.

It's been absolutely perfect. It's been warm, but there's been a breeze, so it's not too hot.

So, that's been a great day. Woo!

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hold onto your admission receipt to avoid paying twice for both forts.
Bring a national parks passport to get stamped at the forts.
Wear comfortable shoes for walking, as the forts involve steep stairs and long walks.
Use a card for admission, as the forts do not accept cash.
