My family and I came here for a visit and we had so much fun seeing everything! My husband and I are very big into learning about history most specifically military history. We loved exploring inside the batteries and while we were over by the artillery pits we were all alone and while we were inside we heard a whistle from somewhere. Later when reading some of the information placards we read that there were communication pipes that let out there and a whistle would be heard… perhaps a paranormal experience? Maybe!

Very nice state park, blends with history and scenic. Has good amount picnic tables, restrooms available. You can view the fort, easy to climb, has beach access as well. You climb up to the Light House as well, lot of people doing fishing, lot of areas for kids and pets to play. Discovery pass is needed to park your vehicles.

We have been to many of the forts and batteries located around Washington. This was one of my favorites. It is well maintained and not destroyed by graffiti like some other ones we have visited. There is a lot to explore. There are signs located inside areas of the fort that explain what the building and equipment inside was used for. I really enjoyed that. There are also some canons, which was really fun. The whole fort is along the cliffs of the beach, with stairs leading down to the beach itself. There is also a lighthouse. Towards the entrance of the fort are some fallout shelters that are hidden from site. A small wooded path takes you there. It was quiet compared ylto the main areas of the fort. I highly recommend exploring these gems, if you can. There is so much to learn and see here. If you go, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to make your way around. We spent the whole day there, and I still want to go back to explore places we rushed through or missed. This fort is definitely a place you don't want to miss.

What a amazing view with an incredible historic value and experience. First time veterans visiting a this location. The experience gave me a feeling of what service was like during old times in bunkers. Loved it. My dog enjoyed himself as well. Great family trip with an option to picnic.

We loved exploring the park with many historical stuff, bunkers and lighthouse. The trail is easy and nice. Really a great place to have picnic with friends and family. We could see the sea lions too. The lighthouse has a museum to explore and gives access to go to the top and no entry fee. A lot of parking space is available.

This was such a cool area! There’s so much to look at and so many fun places to explore! I highly recommend bringing a flashlight or using the flashlight on your phone so you can see better when going through the dark hallways inside :) the gift shop is has lots of fun trinkets too!

we visited here twice on our stay. first time we walked from the Fort Casey In and then we drove over. this fort is so well kept and maintained. the staff here are extremely frothy and knowledgeable. my 4 year old loved all the ladders and hidden rooms. we even baby carried two infants because it would be difficult to push a stroller. the views are amazing and there are lots of deer running around. this is a great place to bring a picnic lunch with the family

If you appreciate historic places and lighthouses, don't miss Fort Casey! There is a lot of the fort that accessible to explore. From time to time there are tours by park rangers that explain more details of the first history and how the fort functioned. The light house is a museum, and you can climb the stairs to the light. The fort is also a popular spot to fly kites. It's a fun, and fascinating place to explore!

I highly recommend the beautiful Whidbey Island, WA for an ultimate vacation spot. Just spent a week there and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nearby town of Langley is the quaintest little town. A beautiful artisan craft fair on the main street on Friday's during the summer. Ft. Casey is a historic park where they just completed a multi million dollar Lighthouse renovation. Check ferry routes for schedules that might be limited. Also, holiday times can involve waits for water transportation.

Wish we had more time to explore the park. Our time was limited to an hour due to a ferry wait. The park was very well maintained beautiful location/view, and lots of wildlife. Historical photos and signs provided excellent detailed information of the parks history and buildings. Is very quiet and relaxing. One accidental perk to our visit, was that we met someone waiting waiting for the ferry too...who has worked at both Fort Casey and Fort Worden and personally I gave us a history lesson of the fort!
