This descriptor likely refers to Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park in Key West. The charge usually represents your park entrance/parking fee or purchases made inside the park, such as at the on‑site café, gift area, or for beach equipment rentals on the date you visited.

What are common amounts I might see charged by Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park?

Typical charges include the per‑vehicle or per‑person entrance fee to the state park and may also include smaller amounts for items such as snacks, drinks, chair and umbrella rentals, or snorkel gear from the concession. Amounts vary by fee schedule and the size of your group, so compare the charge with posted entrance fees and your receipts from that day.

If the problem is not resolved, contact your card issuer to initiate a dispute, providing any documentation from your correspondence with the park.
