I assume you are talking about the Fort- El Morro? It is like a museum- you go and wander around in it. The ranger service gives a tour a few times a day.
But it is large and impressive- lots of rooms and places to explore. Kids love it!
The sister fort- San Cristobal is neat too- I like the dungeon and the drawings from the prisoners on the walls. On Monday nights here, they have a dance show (at 6-6:45p).

El Morro has one of the most breathtaking views of the Atlantic. Scenes from Spielberg's movie "Amistad" about African slaves were shot here. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes & clothes and a hat with a large brim. Best to come early in the morning and leave before noon, as it's quite hot during the afternoon hours. I have no idea how the Spaniards could stand it wearing their military uniforms--they must have fainted from heat exhaustion.
