Peña-Peck House Historical Museum

Step into the beautifully preserved historic house museum and gift shop in the heart of St. Augustine! The Peña-Peck House, originally built during the First Spanish Period (1565–1763), offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the city’s colonial past. An elegant 19th-century addition further enhances its charm, blending Spanish colonial history with 1800s refinement to create a truly unique landmark.

Bring the whole family for a fun and educational adventure at the Historic Peña-Peck House! Our Family Scavenger Hunt is specially designed for children ages 5–10 and their grown-ups to explore the 275-year-old house together.

From a cannon ball to colonial toys, from musical instruments to Polly the Parrot —each stop reveals a piece of the past in an interactive and age-appropriate way. Every child receives a small prize for completing the hunt, and parents love how history comes alive for their little explorers.

The family Scavenger Hunt is available Wednesday-Saturday between 11-4PM.
