Room was a great size, clean, and well kept. I personally thought the beds were a little hard. But no other issues with the room. The staff was warm, welcoming, and helpful. The pools and outside areas were always clean and a fun place to hang out. Not a complaint but wish the hotel had more of an offering for snacks and breakfast.

We stay here at the Wyndham Ocean Walk 2 -3 times a year and always enjoy our time there. Right on the beach, easy access, wake up to the sunrise daily, and you can walk to main street 3the pier. During the summer the city has live bands at the band shell with fireworks after the show. Highly recommend a visit to Daytona Beach. Check the city website for what may be happening before you book your trip, plan around special events for motorcycles, Jeeps, trucks, and sporting events.

Staff is amazing. Our room for the price was pretty run down. Dirty dishes in the cabinets, stuff left on top of the fridge and under the beds. Floors were dirty at check in. Half the unit the ac didnt work. Pool area is wonderful.

Was an amazing place to stay and vacation to, featuring two large pools, a couple of hot tubs, a lazy river, and much more. Something fun was happening every day at this resort. The only downside was that a few things were closed due to needing repair, and we often saw the workers repairing it just sitting on their phones and didn't start working until the day we departed.

My favorite Wyndham vacation resort yet. The staff was very accommodating. The pool was crowded but great! I loved the lazy river. Oceanfront. Who could ask for more… of the shampoo and conditioner took the frizz right out of my hair!!!! .

Be careful with this place. I called to see if they had availability and was told they have a great room for us with an ocean view and two beds and full kitchen. Exactly what we were looking for. We got a room that smelled like pee and had gross stains on the couch. See video. Was given another room on a lower floor. Seemed cleaner then noticed the mold and toilet that wasn't even connected to the floor. See video. We were promised an early check in. That didn't happen. We were at the pool for a minute without wrist bands. Got yelled at and had to go get them from the room. No food after 6pm. Over all not a place for us, we left and went the Hard Rock. Don't stay in rooms 1902 or 1409 Was promised a refund. Then told we still had to pay a housekeeping fee even though we didn't even stay there. What a rip off!

We used to travel here every year.. until all our kids got jobs and families. Have talked about coming back, and we finally did it. NOT disappointed at all. The staff was amazing! I had several rooms and split reservations with each. I was constantly down asking for "favors" and updates on requests. They never lost their patience and made miracles happen! The front lobby staff, bell hops, room coordinators, and security were all wonderful! Wish I could remember everyone's names ! Got to see a rocket launch from our balcony thanks to Danny who made sure we knew. Another memory made! The behind the scenes staff clearly did awesome as well because my rooms were clean and kept and we had things upon request in timely manners. There was always awesome live music somewhere and activities available onsite! We had so much fun! There were 23 of us! I am a Wyndham Owner and a happy one. This trip just confirmed for my kids, that this was a. Investment well worth it and one they are glad to continue.. eventually 😉 Thank you Daytona Ocean Walk staff! Ps the only reason the rooms are missing a star was no usb ports. But I know you are continuing to upgrade

Very beautiful, extremely well kept. It was hot but there is plenty of shade and multiple restrooms. Stunning views of the intracoastal waterway and lovely roses. We paid $5 for everyone in our car and parking was plentiful. Really glad we decided to visit.

Beautiful place for a nice, quiet visit. The gardens were beautiful. The gift shop was closed unfortunately so we didn't get to visit there. You can buy plants there apparently but not the day we went. So pretty, lots of information to learn and beauty to look at.

My husband and I had our engagement photos done here over two years ago. Washington state park will always be special to us. It is such a beautiful place. The staff keep everything super clean and all the plants look very loved. They have a cute nursery you can purchase plants on certain days. I love the beach with all the coquina that is right there too. This is one of Floridas hidden gems! A must see in Flagler county. Great place to picnic and playground for kids. Adorable gift shop with locally made items. This is a great representation of old Florida with all the live oak hammocks. On the beach you can catch sites of dolphins, stingray, octopus, and manatee. It’s also a great place for shelling. Make sure you check the tide pools before going. There’s also a beautiful owl that lives in the live oaks.

Very nice park for a day tour. There are picnic areas inside with nice short trails. The gift shop has some snacks and ice creams. Parking is also nice and seemed plenty. Also the beach at the opposite side is beautiful and much quieter than other famous beaches. The park ticket covers the beach parking s well.

So incredibly beautiful. Flagler county does an excellent job maintaining their parks. I particularly love the rose garden and the sitting areas along the intracoastal. The mosquitos/yellow flies can be pretty brutal at certain times of the year so prepare accordingly during the warmer months.

Visit this July, the place is beautiful and peaceful. Walking the trails makes sure to apply mosquitoes repellent before, walking. Even so I still got bites from mosquitoes, it’s seems that the mosquitoes didn’t bother that I had repellent on me (other than that I enjoy my hiking trails). One trail was super sunny less shade than other trails. I had a wonderful experience walking around and seeing oaks trees, and the history of the place.

Beautiful location with friendly staff and clean restrooms—definitely a great spot for portraits, engagement shoots, and nature photography. Just a heads-up: sometimes other visitors might appear in the background of your shots (like a couple walking up the gondola steps during my session), so it’s helpful to be patient and respectful of everyone sharing the space. Overall, a wonderful place to capture special moments!

It was a fun little tour of the Fort. Small but mighty. Nice boat ride over to the island. Park Rangers were definitely into what they do for a living, very energetic about giving the history of the fort! Free tour but the spots go fast.

Very interesting, loved the history lesson and had no idea a fort could be so small! Loved Ranger Linda and our Captain was great as well. The nature walk was also pretty awesome and loved learning that the live oaks grow away from the salt water!

Well kept, clean and fort. Short boat ride to the fort with a lot of history. Beautiful place. Bathroom and vending machine with drinks are available. A hiking area is also available.

Great place for a little family outing. They have lots of picnic tables, shade, public restrooms, trash bins and vending machines with cold drinks. The gentleman in the information office was very kind and friendly. He gave us maps and information on the area. The ferry was closed when we went so we did not get to pay the $2 and ferry over to the monument. The walking trails are nice but not recommended for anyone who may have a fear of spiders.

Great morning out, the boat and fort are free and take about 50 mins. Even on a quiet day it filled up so get there a bit before. There is also a lovely loop hike to do by carpark of about 20 mins.

Beautiful NPS site. There is a (free) ferry that takes you across the river to the actual fort, and that requires in person, first-come, first-serve tickets. Be mindful of Florida weather - storms and lightning that may cancel the time slot you have planned. Even with our cancellation, the rangers and volunteer were helpful and kind. The grounds are worth checking out - we saw a sea turtle, and many birds.

It's a fun free things to do. The fort is so small it only takes a few minutes to see but it's free. The ferry ride is maybe 50 yards but again free for everyone. There is a walking path through the hammock and beach access.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and tour on August 16, 2025. Our guide Vince along with the other volunteers who came along with us was very knowledgeable and informative. A highlight was learning about the back story on each individual animal.The park is extremely organized and well run. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. It was a very hot day and the water bottles were greatly appreciated. We will definitely talk up the tour with our friends and neighbors. Thanks for a wonderful outing.

We attended the first Halloween party, Lions, Tigers and SCARES and REALLY enjoyed it! GREAT Experience. We called it an Adventure! Because we had a great time - as much as the weather allowed. The adventure was cut a little short due to a heavy downpour. But it was wonderful to see so many people in the community come out and support the event. It was obvious the turnout was way beyond what was expected. Organizers also faced huge unforeseen challenges before the event even took place... Everyone working at the event was super friendly. And organizers continually expressed their appreciation to everyone who turned out and did all they could to help ensure our experience was enjoyable. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and worked great with the children in our group.

This is a really cool place. Lots of big cats all with interesting stories from their rescue. Also has wolves and some other interesting animals. You have to take a tour to visit, but the animals are incredible. Unfortunately, no pictures. Apparently, people in the past have ruined tours trying to take pictures, so definitely a reasonable request.

It was very impressive to see all the animals up close that were saved by this place. I wasn’t expecting to see so many animals in such a neat and organized environment. The tour was very informative, and it truly made me think about how we can help protect wildlife from humans who seek to profit from them.

Vince, Shelly, Alex, and Margaret were all fantastic! The tour was incredibly informative and you could tell how much the animals love their care takers! I’m so happy there’s a place like this that can give those animals sanctuary. Watching Indigo chase the vultures and the playful lion was a hoot! The send off of the wolves howling was also amazing! These animals really get the best of the best and this place deserves nothing but five star reviews and as many donations as you can give! I will be telling everyone to come give you guys a visit! I really appreciate that they don’t allow photography because it allows a more genuine experience with the animals and you learn more! They offer a flash drive of beautiful images of all of the animals that you can purchase from them. I recommend getting a magnet or two as well. :)

Our group of 11 people from Palm Coast went for a tour of the Wild Reserve. A reservation was made over the telephone prior to the visit. Samantha (Sam) was our tour guide. She is most excellent. We all learned a lot about animals that we did not know. We also were informed about why these animals need to be rescued and cared for. The animals are well cared for and in large, well made containment structures. As a group, we look forward to adopting some of the big cats. Also we were "shepherded" along the tour path by 4 to 6 other staff members who kept us together and behind the safety zone barriers. One staff member drove a 6 passenger gold cart for the walking impaired. The accompanying staff members also took turns feeding the animals "snacks." The Wild Reserve is a hidden treasure in NE FL. We will visit again with friends and family, plus donate regularly.

Went for the Saturday 2pm tour and was totally blown away. Don't be put off by the dated website ( still references covid) or the overall dryness. The actual Wild Reserve is beautifully ran by a core group of staff, along with some great volunteers. You could tell that the animals were loved and well cared for. Enclosures are large and constantly being upgraded. All enclosures were clean, have freash clean water and plenty of enrichment items. I have been to zoos at major cities that dont do the job with their animals that these passionate people do. Will bring all future visitors here. Absolutely loved it!

Best Distillery Experience in Florida! Yep another non-food review! What a blast! From the first sip to the last, this place knows how to deliver an experience. The rum, gin, and vodka samples were great — but the bourbon? Absolute favorite. And The Saint… wow. Hands-down the star of the show. Dominick was our guide and he crushed it — friendly, funny, and clearly loves what he does. He made the whole tour feel like we were hanging out with a friend who just happens to know everything about spirits. The classroom is gorgeous and super organized, which made learning as fun as the tasting. I’m already planning my next trip — certification, here I come! You're in the St Augustine area, stop by and as always, tell them we sent you!

This distillery is known for its famous bourbon. We stopped by and took a FREE self-guided tour which includes 4 cocktail samples. It took us about 45min-an hour to get thru with reading info provided. The staff were friendly and obviously love their jobs. They were fun to talk to about the history. After you done you could go for more tasting. The parking are on the side of the building sharing with the restaurant.

My son and I toured the distillery while traveling through Saint Augustine and had a fantastic time! The tour was extremely engaging and informative, we learned a lot, all the employees were extremely friendly in each room had a different tasting. It was a lot of fun. We actually wind up buying several pieces of merchandise in the shop before leaving. If you are in the area, it is a free tour and a lot of fun. Definitely add it to your list!

Awesome experience where we complete the self guided tour. I was surprised to find it was really free, including the free sample taste of 4 of their house made cocktails. These included a Florida Mule, Essential Tonic, Old Fashion, and Tropical Tiki Mix. These were all made with their own brand Vodka, Gin, Rum and Bourbon usiung thier very own, in house made, all natural Mixers respectively. At the end of the tour, I was surprised that the final taste station provides a taste of each spirit straight up. Also, you may choose to purchase a taste of their premier Bourbon Whiskey for $10. It's worth mentioning these are all 1/2 ounce serving but enough to help you make up your mind on your favorites.

I’ve been coming here since shortly after they opened in 2013 and somehow they manage to outdo themselves each time. Today, we did the bourbon tasting tour. Dominick was amazing! We learned a lot, tried some incredible bourbon, and had a great time.

Saint Augustine Distillery was such a fun time for our group! We loved trying the tasty cocktails and liquors—they were all delicious and unlike others we’ve had before in S Florida. The gift shop was also a blast, with lots of cool items to take home. Highly recommend stopping by!

This place does complimentary cocktail tastings with their spirits. Everything we tried was tasty. You work your way through the building on a self guided tour as you make stops at different tasting stations. The last tasting station is in the gift shop.

The Flagler College area is absolutely beautiful. The Spanish architecture is breathtaking. From the terracotta roofs to the red iron gaits and railings, this place is eye candy. Walked around and looked at the various hotels and other various buildings, all the same style and flair. When you tour the downtown Saint Augustine area, venture a little further down to see these sites.

Taking the free architectural tour at Flagler College was absolutely fascinating and beautiful! It was like time traveling back to the Gilded Age where conspicuous luxury and customized environs and decor knew no bounds. Learning the history of the visionary team behind the project and the short amount of time this hotel was completed yielded many surprises for us!

Located in a great place I wonder if people really concentrate study as the city has lots of fun places and attractions. I Really enjoyed and recommend. Public Parking lot by the water and the old castle. $5 for 2 hours. Please click the Like icon if it is helpful

Very well kept grounds and amazing historical significance to this town! Walk their gardens and observe their Spanish inspired architecture. This review helped in anyway please give us a thumbs up 👍👍👍

We didn’t do the official tour but we would next time. We just wandered around for a bit. A really neat campus and interesting history. The architecture, wood work, stained glass and ceilings were beautiful.

What an awesome piece of historic architecture this place is! Loved the tour and the old world feel of this place. Further, it’s full of firsts for its time. I’ll not spoil it for you but if you’re a history buff as I am you can’t afford to miss a stop at this place!!

Visited for the afternoon historic tour. This facility is simply stunning. It’s very existence is pivotal to what we now know as modern day Florida. The tour was interesting and hosted by one of the attending college students. While she did get a bit “tour-guidey”, she had some great insight into the main building’s history. The tour itself is just over an hour and takes you into some rooms you wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. A small portion of the tour is outdoors, so weather could be a factor. Our tour guide did a fantastic job picking a nice, comfortable, shady spot for our outside stop. If you’re in the area, and looking for brief afternoon activity, then you can’t go wrong with a historic tour of this campus.

Loved our time here ! Lots of shops we went to and plenty of places to eat at and enjoy outdoor seating in such pretty garden settings. Definitely will go back.

Nice bustling street with a variety of stores and great architecture! Must visit when in St. Augustine!

This is a very scenic and historic district of St. Augustine! Plenty of shops and restaurants with anything you could want to eat and do. The buildings had great design and courtyards for sitting. It also hd trolley stops and plenty of restrooms. It’s very nice but beware of the crowds, it’s packed thick!

So cool, the shops , the restaurant's, the outside bars with live music the inside bars with live music. The food great. This place has it all for everyone. Tons of sweets for those who love all sweets, they have everything.

Love this street , St George St it feels like ( Krupòwki ) in Zakopane, you just walk and shop and eat and enjoy. I couldn’t pass by without stopping . I will be back 😂❤️ Every year we travel to FL I want to stop by

One of the most interesting streets in the city. Be sure to take a walk along it!

St. George Street is an absolute must-stop when visiting St. Augustine. It’s filled with shops, restaurants, and history around every corner, making it a great place to explore. The atmosphere is lively and there’s always something new to discover. That said, I’d recommend going during the week if possible, as weekends can get a little crowded. Overall, it’s one of the highlights of the city and definitely worth a visit.

Cool place to check out if you’re in the area. The lighthouse was the main attraction of course and it has signs to let you know how far up and how much further you have left as you climbed it. Once you get to the top the views and breeze are nice. The stairs are very narrow so you have to stop and wait or let people go by sometimes. But it’s not a bad hike at all! The rest of the sites are self guided and in old buildings but are maintained. Most have AC which is where you found the most people with it being so hot. There’s plenty of information and artifacts in each part you entered. Unless you’re stopping to read everything, the tour goes by pretty quickly. I highly suggest bringing water with you if you’re going during the summer months.

The St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum is an absolute must-visit. The property is full of rich history, and the view from the top of the lighthouse is truly breathtaking. While the climb does involve a lot of steps, it is well worth the effort. Beyond the lighthouse itself, there’s so much to explore—from learning how boats were built to seeing how recovered artifacts are carefully cleaned and preserved. This site offers a wonderful mix of history, hands-on learning, and stunning scenery. Definitely worth a stop when visiting St. Augustine.

My wife and I went to the special event at the top of the beautiful historic lighthouse. The event is held once a month to watch the sunset and the full Moon rise. We were rewarded with a beautiful sunset and the full moon rise over the ocean was awesome. Our experience was seriously diminished by the male volunteer that was supposed to be pouring champagne for all the guests but seemed totally focused in looking after two younger women whose glass were always full while we had to ask several times for a second half glass. The volunteer attitude changed a five star experience to barely a three stars. In future please have the volunteer treat all guests equally. At the opposite end we wish to commend Tammy as very pleasant and helpful with information about the lighthouse and in passing food around.

The set up is serene. Before even walking into the museum you're greeted immediately and all questions answered. Then you can walk leisurely through out. 218 steps in the lighthouse. Then exhibits , even little hiking trails around made it a full immersive experience. It's honestly a romantic, scientific and historical experience. Worth it.

This is a beautiful place set back in some trees, not far from water. There's plenty of history to learn and over 200 steps to reach the top, which has some beautiful views of the area. This is a worthwhile place to explore. The staff are very friendly and eager to answer questions or help.

This is a very well maintained lighthouse and facilities. Allowing self guided tours to the top was a nice feature. Nature trails, restored light keepers house, Coast Guard barracks, and other buildings brings a lot of historical facts to life. The ship wreck and military displays were great too. One of the best lighthouse visits I've had. Spent over two hours here.

Visiting the St. Augustine Lighthouse was such a great experience! Yes, it’s a lot of steps to the top, but the view once you get there is absolutely breathtaking and so worth it. I loved that there are spots to pause after each flight of stairs, which makes the climb much easier. Each of those areas also has interesting facts and history to read along the way, so you’re learning as you catch your breath. Definitely a must-see when visiting St. Augustine

The St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum is an absolute must-see! What a fascinating and fun museum to explore. The clever details in each area, the authentic artifacts, and the masterful use of lighting and shadows create a truly immersive experience. The interactive exhibits and the thrilling treasure hunt tie everything together, making it a blast for both kids and adults. This museum is a unique and entertaining experience that I highly recommend if you're in St. Augustine.

Five Stars! An Adventure for All Ages! ​This museum was an absolute hit with my family. I took my 7-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter, and they were both completely captivated from the moment we walked in. The St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum truly transports you back over 300 years to the Golden Age of Piracy in Port Royal, Jamaica. ​The experience manages to be both exciting and educational. For my 7-year-old, it was an inspiring deep dive into history, bringing the tales of pirates to life with real artifacts. My 4-year-old daughter was just as engaged, especially with the fantastic interactive exhibits that made sure she was part of the fun. The museum proves it's the perfect place for groups of all ages, keeping everyone entertained and learning simultaneously. ​We loved every minute of the experience. If you are looking for a unique family outing that will leave your kids feeling inspired to sail the seven seas, this museum is a must-see. We highly recommend it!

An absolutely amazing place! The atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped onto a real pirate ship — fascinating exhibits, great interactive areas for kids, and so much excitement. Our children were thrilled, eyes full of wonder and joy. Pure happiness — highly recommend!

Of all the pure museums in St. Augustine, this one has the most interesting artifacts, including coin clusters, movie props, and even the last remaining pirate chest on earth. It's themed well, informative, and interactive, making it great for kids and adults alike. Last time I went, they had a scavenger hunt as well, and its not one of those hunts that are meant to prolong your experience to give the illusion that they have more than they do. If you are in the area and are looking for something fun to do, this would be a great pick.

This was our family’s first trip to St. Augustine and had to stop at the Pirates & Treasure museum. It was fun and interesting to see artifacts and even got to interact in a pirate hunt during the visit. The gift shop had pretty neat souvenirs to purchase and the kids really enjoyed it! We loved being able to see real silver and gold shipwreck treasure and a real pirates chest! Would recommend stopping in!☺️ Staff was really friendly!

A tourist trap and nothing more. I’d suggest to ONLY do the colonial tour next door in the future. Skip this self guided tour. It’s very basic and just a time filler. Not interactive and our kids couldn’t wait to get out. It was to be fair pretty boring.

I had a great time at the St. Augustine Pirate and Treasure Museum! This place is a total gem for anyone into pirate history or just looking for a fun outing. The collection of over 800 authentic artifacts, like a real pirate treasure chest and a Jolly Roger flag, is seriously impressive. The interactive exhibits, like firing a cannon or exploring the replica pirate ship, make it feel like you’re stepping into the Golden Age of Piracy. The self-guided setup lets you go at your own pace, which I loved, and the info plaques are packed with cool facts about pirates like Blackbeard and Sir Francis Drake. My only gripe is that it can get a bit crowded, especially on weekends, wish it was a bit larger, and the gift shop prices are a little high. Still, it’s a super fun and educational spot that’s totally worth checking out .

Very cool fort with great views. It was an extremely hot day so I highly recommend bringing a bottle of water with you and maybe even a small towel. 🥵There were 2 main levels and you could self guide yourself through it although they had a guided tour option. There was zero shade when you’re up on the top but you were able to see where they had the old firing cannons which was super cool. As you walk through each room they had plenty of artifacts and information which was helpful to understand. I felt that it was very well maintained and full of rich history! They do offer bathrooms inside as well.

In the heart of St. Augustine, Florida, a city steeped in history, the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument rises as a beacon of the past. Completed in 1695 after 23 years of painstaking labor that began in 1672, this breathtaking structure stands as a testament to Spanish ingenuity and determination. Originally conceived as a fortress to safeguard their treasures and secrets, its immaculate architecture commands attention, overlooking one of St. Augustine's most picturesque vistas. Though tours offer an immersive experience within its walls, even a glimpse from the exterior reveals the monument's unparalleled grandeur. Constructed from unique Coquina stone, the walls exhibit a mesmerizing mosaic of tiny shells, a strategic choice that proved impervious to English sieges. Today, the Castillo stands resolute, each piece of Coquina holding echoes of the past, while the land upon which it rests cradles everlasting memories along the bay. As visitors approach, they are transported back in time, captivated by the stories etched into every stone. The Castillo de San Marcos not only stands as a physical structure but also as a living narrative, preserving the legacy of those who built and defended it. Its enduring presence ensures that the tales of courage, strategy, and cultural heritage will continue to captivate and inspire generations to come.

This was an amazing experience, I enjoyed visiting the Castillo de San Marcos. The history here is incredible — it really feels like stepping back in time. The fort itself is beautiful, and the views of the water are awesome. The cannons were definitely my favorite part. It’s just one of those places that makes you appreciate how much history St. Augustine has to offer. Highly recommend it, go during the day and at night.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An incredible piece of history! The Castillo de San Marcos is absolutely breathtaking. The views of St. Augustine Bay are stunning, and the old Spanish stone walls make you feel like you’re stepping back in time. The park rangers do a great job explaining the fort’s history, and the cannon firing demonstrations are a must-see. It’s very well preserved, clean, and easy to explore at your own pace. Highly recommend bringing water and comfortable shoes — and take a moment to just enjoy the ocean breeze from the top walls. A perfect stop for history lovers, families, or anyone visiting St. Augustine!

Very cool historic castle to tour! The top offers a great view of the water and surrounding area, plus old cannons you can check out. On the ground level there are multiple rooms to explore, each with interesting displays and information about the history of the fort. You can also see step-by-step demonstrations of how soldiers would load and fire the cannons as well as their muskets, which is really fascinating. The staff dressed in Spanish army costumes brought the place to life and made the whole experience feel even more authentic. Definitely worth visiting if you’re interested in history or just want to see something unique.

The Castillo de San Marcos is always well worth the visit. The structure alone clearly articulates its history and its various functions from the 17th through the 20th centuries The grounds are well-maintained by the NPS and are excellent for walking. This fort is one of the many treasures that makes Saint Augustine the beautiful city that it is. To see the ancient walls lit up at night is breathtaking.

Super cool experience, you can definitely spend a good amount of time touring this castle. They also have an informative video that plays every hour or so that is pretty cool. The view from the top is beautiful (we also saw dolphins). Such an interesting piece of history. I highly recommend but dress accordingly and wear sunscreen!

Wonderful experience. Interesting displays and beautiful gardens. We visited on the first Saturday of the month, so it was free. But the $20 adult entry fee is very reasonable and worth it. We will return.

Spent the afternoon wandering the gardens, watching the butterflies, and enjoying all of the art. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and there to answer questions. The layout of the galleries and court yard was convenient and the bathroom facilities were clean and well kept. Parking was easy and free and I can't wait to go back and spend some more time looking at the paintings. I particularly liked Andrew Wyeth's gallery and recommend 10/10

The people here are nice. They don't allow drinks inside the exhibits. The gardens are exceptional. The art collections are amazing and worth looking at a second or third time.

First time visiting Jacksonville and this place was a must for me, I love museums and i got to say that this place is small but its very rich in art, love it, I'm from Ecuador and seeing a piece of art from Guayasamin made my day, also Carl, he was very nice and explained us the program that they have for kids and non-seeing people doing art, it was very very touching and we loved how he explained that to us! Museums needs more people like him! ❤️

Awesome collection a good variety and different styles. I fell in love with 2 Jean Dufy paintings. It was rainy the day we were there but still managed bit of time in the gardens. Could have spent an hour or longer if the weather was better.

Beautiful place specially the garden it’s spectacular , clean and lots of things u see inside. Such as amazing arts and paintings . They have also food area and coffee if u like to spend more time to stay. They have also area for kids can play and learn something.

Excellent day! Andrew Wyeth exhibit was amazing!! The museum has wonderful paintings also. Loved gift shop!!

My toddler and elementary aged kiddos loved it here! The staff was friendly and while we didn’t play on it, the indoor playground (5 and under) looked very nice! Other than that area, though, it was all pretty run down at best and kinda janky in others. Either way, the kids couldn’t tell the difference and the older learned or brushed up on a lot of science! We took advantage of the EBT/WIC discount and got $3 entry for myself, free for one kid and then my toddler was free all the time.

We had a great time visiting the MOSH in Jacksonville! There’s so much to learn and explore here — definitely a place where both kids and adults can enjoy and take something away. One of the highlights of our visit was the “Skies Over Jacksonville” planetarium show. It was such an amazing experience — super informative and really well done. We learned so much! The staff at the front counters were incredibly friendly and helpful. They answered all of our questions and made us feel very welcome right from the start.There’s also plenty of parking available, which made the whole visit smooth and stress-free.Whether you're a local or just passing through Jacksonville, I definitely recommend stopping by MOSH. It’s a fun and educational experience for all ages!

An unfortunate waste of money. Unless the Dinosaur Exhibit is in town, there’s no justification to pay $88 for two adults and two children under 10. Seeing the entire museum took less than an hour and it was stifling and musty the entire time. The third floor was completely closed off, so we didn’t even have access to the whole museum. The only interactive children’s area, the “Creation Station” seems like an afterthought with building blocks and play structures with missing pieces (as pictured). Our 4 year old was disengaged and bored…there’s only so much excitement that shells and old artifacts can create. The one positive was the live animal room where we got to see two owls, two birds, and a handful of turtles. The local history was enjoyable and interesting, but again, doesn’t feel like enough to satisfy all ages. I truly hope that the new location will include a revamp of this museum, our city deserves it. We need to keep our youth in mind and create a more interactive experience, especially if you’re going to charge us like it.

We had a great time on a Sunday, arriving at opening. Parking lot was already starting to get be filled and when we left, it was families coming and going as we went. The actual museum as you can see from the many pictures and some video taken to be shared has much to been seen. That was with an entire 3rd floor closed this day and something closed off in hiding being made on 2nd. So there is much excitement for future visit. Learning everything from dinosaurs, space, establishment of Florida and the United States through out the years and so much more. It is a very awesome and interesting museum with a small zoo!!

**Disappointing Experience for a Screen-Free Family Outing** If you’re hoping for a screen-free, engaging family outing, I would not recommend MOSH. During my visit, I was disappointed by the overall condition of the museum, which seemed poorly maintained. Many signs and displays were visibly worn out or falling apart, which gave the impression of neglect. The animal exhibits were limited to a few creatures, including several turtles, a lizard, a small owl, and a pigeon. I was especially excited for the “Touch Tank” experience, but it turned out to be a letdown. After walking around in circles trying to find it, I eventually stumbled upon a small, empty tank surrounded by barriers. There was no signs saying when it would be back in use and the tank itself was not toddler-friendly as it was positioned too high off the ground. I had also looked forward to the “Creation Station,” imagining it would be a creative space for children. However, it was disappointing to find no art supplies at all—just a few old Christmas decorations still up (despite it being almost April), a small pile of Duplo Legos, a poorly made shape sorter with chipped paint, and a lone puzzle. It wasn’t at all what I expected. Upstairs, the atmosphere felt chaotic, akin to an arcade with numerous screen-based activities. And the history section was just ok. While I personally didn’t mind the history section with its few artifacts and lots of reading material, my children were uninterested. The lack of interactive displays beyond the screens made it difficult for them to engage. Additionally, the museum's facilities were problematic. The bathrooms were closed when I first arrived, though they eventually reopened. The building itself felt very hot, with only the lobby and gift shop offering any relief via air conditioning. The elevator had an unpleasant burnt rubber smell, and the third floor was completely closed off. Outside, there’s a small pond with a lone turtle, but this didn’t make up for the overall lack of activities. My toddler was bored within an hour, and I would recommend this museum more for older children who might better appreciate the screen exhibits.

Hard to navigate. We did not find any dinosaurs that were spoken of besides the one allosaurus. The second floor was really neat. It was very off putting but in a cool and interesting way. The planetarium Orion show was underwhelming.

My 6 yr old nephew had a nice enough time but the museum feels stale and dated. I was lucky admission was free when we visited on Memorial Weekend . Excited to see the new, modern building in a few years. Tip: Check planetarium events, screenings, and showing times before you visit.

Great afternoon adventure! We were visiting the Mayo Clinic and we decided to spend our afternoon at the zoo! We arrived about 12:00 and left at 5:00. It was the perfect amount of time. Our favorites were the gorilla’s and chimps. This is really a beautiful zoo with so many different species. Most of the paths are shaded which really makes it nice to walk around.

Had a fun experience with the family here. We bought the pass that includes the train and the whole experience. The grandkids loved the train and the play park for kids and the penguins the best. I'm sure lots of other things too. We went early on Sunday right after it opened. The lions and turtles were still sleeping. The food was good, portions were large. We had chicken strips and fries. The reusable drink cup is $10 and refills are I think $1.50.

When we travel, we always check out the local zoo. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve lived in FL my entire life, and never visited the Jax Zoo. My hubby and I recently visited - twice within 6 weeks because it was sooooo good! Their exhibits are well done, the collection of animals is quite impressive and the grounds are well maintained. We thought the entrance fee was very reasonable and most employees / volunteers were helpful. 100% recommend for all ages. If walking is too much, suggest buying the pass that includes the train ride.

A great zoo. Pet the manta rays and even feed them. That’s quite the experience or feed the Giraffes. I never realized how big their heads are. Beautiful creatures. It’s great fun for all ages Make sure you choose the right plan for tickets. . General admission doesn’t entitle you the activity to go on the train or feed the Giraffes!

Jacksonville zoo is one of the best! The current metalworks are fantastic! There is a great playground for kids with a tree house, rope bridge, cement slides and more. It's a little pricey. If you're local, get an annual pass and go often! Highly recommend. Go and spend the day.

We finally visited the zoo and was not disappointed. We loved all the animals. Sometimes it does get sad knowing they are captive, but these animals had friends in their enclosures and looked like they were treated well and feed even better. The small inside reptile and amphibian walk through buildings were the most exciting to us! It was like a super game of hide and seek. The giraffe feeding was what we looking forward to all day. We were a tad disappointed that there was only one small area to feed, but lucky enough one of them was willing to come over and let us feed. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The train ride was fun also. We got on the train from the very start and rode to the back of the park and walked from back to front which was awesome in our opinion. The layout of the park is great also with one main road and the different areas branched from that. Plenty of restrooms along the way and areas to stop for dining or just a quick drink spot. Several areas had adult drinks..... this was like THE BEST PART. My daughter connect to the nature adventure compass and played along the whole way until it got disconnected and annoyed her. But all was fun and we 10/10 recommend. Just be careful with booking a hotel and make sure to do research about the area before you book.

Absolutely love this zoo! It was our first time going but will definitely be back. If you have not been or considering going I highly recommend. Out of all the zoos I have been to this is now a favorite!

Our first time to Jacksonville and we decided to visit this park!!!! I have read reviews the good and the ugh. We will truly say because of the beach in this park , Ill have memories that you only have to see to believe.. Staff are amazing , there out of view but there . Great family and learning along with adventures 😀 🙌 😊 clean beach... turtles..We will be back thank you .

It was a nice place , we were able to rent a kayak , good price and we had a blast! The park is huge , worthy and there are a lot of trails to bike or walk . Additional there is a beach , then you could spent the whole day there.

This is a beautiful County Park in Jacksonville. Your backing skills had better be on point however. The roads to the sites are very narrow with trees just off the edge, so not a whole lot of room for nose swing.

I recall the first time that I ever been to this park is when I used to be stationed at N.S. Mayport in 1993. My first visit was awesome and had no idea that this particular park was here. This picture is from 2019 and it was perfect timing when I took the picture. I love many types of birds and nature as well.

It is a beautiful place to get the camping and beach experience. One thing I would say needs improvement it's the bathrooms, mainly the showers in the campground. Other than that, my family and i enjoyed it this weekend.

Tried to go to the beach with our dog and we got turned around at the gate.. this was the first place that was dog friendly on their list of dog friendly beaches. We had to drive our boat on the ferry which was awesome. But this park was well worth all of it. Very clean and beautiful scenery. The park is spacious and large for hiking camping and just day trips. There's a splash pad and huge lake. We didn't get to explore much as we were just stopping by on our way home. Their little beach area was really cute and nicely kept. Water was clear and weather was nice. Perfect little area for family or for peace.

Great place to visit for sure!! Since moving to Jacksonville 5 years ago I've been coming to camp here every 4th of July and will continue to do so as a summer gateway. Thanks for the awesome memories

we absolutely love coming here to see the cats and more! highly recommend attending the evening feeding on Friday or Saturday to see all the animals at their most active. the volunteers do such an amazing job explaining what they’re doing and about the cats and the sanctuary in general this is such a unique experience, I go out of my way to bring new people each time and they always love it. and each time you visit, you fund improvements for next time! just in a couple short years they have installed so many new features for the animals, and new footpaths and pavilions for us humans

The enclosures are very spacious and very well maintained. The animals look very healthy and well taken care of. It's hot during the day (time of our visit), so animals are very inactive. Only 1 tiger and bear were up, walking around to be able to see up close. We wanted to do a night feeding tour, but my grandsons wouldn't be in town. It's definitely worth a visit for the cost. I look forward to going back when it's cooler outside.

This is an awesome rescue. Very interesting. We went to a feeding. The price was great. 45 for entry, a t shirt and drink. I definitely recommend checking them out. I would wear tennis shoes next time and spray for mosquitoes. Great place I will be back.

Our Saturday evening visit to Catty Shack Ranch was great! On Friday and Saturday evening at the Catty Shack you can see the big cats and animals being fed around 7. The park opens at 6 so we went in early to enjoy seeing all the great enclosures that have been built for each specific animal to enjoy. We were told that Earth Works works together with the preserve to build their beautiful water features. Also, our good friend Mike Frailey has worked diligently to build many of the platforms and habitats in their enclosures. Every animal there has been rescued for many different reasons and cannot live in the wild. The park is clean and well designed so you can see each magnificent animal. They are also open from 1 - 3 on weekdays to visit. The admission to the park goes to the care and food for the animals. It is a very fun and rewarding way to spend a Friday or Saturday evening. Please go, enjoy and help these animals at the same time. The park is very easy to find which is near the Jacksonville Airport area.

This place is not just a hidden gem, it’s a unique place that actually care for animals and saves them. I saw these guys online while googling “what to see in Jacksonville” and bought tickets for night-time feeding. We visited on Aug 29,2025 and it was perfect temperature. BE AWARE that if you are wearing bike shorts or anything short like that - use bug spray because there are a lot of mosquitoes. They have those sprays on the tables (when you walk around animals already) on case you don’t have one with you. Feeding was so cool, and all the volunteers and workers were so professional and friendly! We were able to see all the animals! And almost all of them were playing/interacting somehow, not just sleeping :). Totally worth the money! And they do have cool tshirts if you purchase a ticket with a free tshirt!

The night feeding was a great activity to bring the kids to. The staff is super friendly and engaging and you learn a little bit about the animals while they are given dinner. Good assortment of rescue animals to see. The facilities and pens are kept clean and there are almost no bad smells. Be careful the lions do like to splash and play!

This was a gem, I came by for their night time feeding and the value was fantastic, the cats were all happy and healthy, you could see that they were loved and wanted attention. They were playful. Great family event

This is an amazing place to visit if you have the chance!! Self guided tour through the Refuge. So much history here to learn about. We saw a small alligator while visiting. We were able to find the abandoned reflecting pond and fountain. I highly recommend bringing a walking stick if you have one. As well as sunblock, bugspray, and plenty of water! Make sure to watch for spiders and their webs while also keeping your eyes open for the alligators. I would definitely visit again if given the chance to see more of what we missed the first visit through.

We used to take long drives through Harris Neck when we lived in South Georgia. The roads are narrow and worn on this former air base, but the 15 mph speed limit allows you to appreciate the scenic beauty of the old base. It's a drive filled with bird life of all kinds, even a wild turkey. Sometimes you'll even see alligators sunning themselves on the banks of the many small ponds.

My wife and I were just looking for some place to go. This place is AMAZING!!! So peaceful and yet so very alive. Jurrasic park alive! The wildlife is almost overwhelming. Gators, Storks by the hundreds, Egrets and Comerants. All in a calming, peaceful, and natural silence. We found our "go too" spot

Great riding around 30,000 acres, hiking around bird sanctuary, and riding bikes. Paved roads and run ways from Army based in the 1940’s

We love spending our time exploring and seeing what animals and creatures we can see at Harris neck wildlife refuge!

I loved this place. Right now the wood storks are nesting. A few weeks from now around May 1st or so the babies hatch. And it’s CRAZY with the amount of GIANT birds that fly around. The best view of this is actually handicap accessible. Park next to the road, and about 100 feet along a wide grass path are the front seats to Jurassic park.

We loved it here! It’s beautiful and free! We rode our bikes through and saw 4 alligators and many beautiful birds! So glad we came and will definitely be back!

Beautiful cemetery! Duration: 1 hour Parking: free (I recommend just parking at the entrance and roaming) There is really no need for a paid tour guide. Simply ask your AI if choice to give you a tour of the major points of interest.

Bonaventure Cemetery is the most beautiful and unusual cemetery I’ve ever seen. The huge oak trees draped in moss give it such a mysterious atmosphere… so many beautiful sculptures… so peaceful and timeless.

Beautiful cemetery with a lot of history. Great place to walk around and get some exercise here. You can donate a few bucks and they will give you a map. Very nice in the summertime

Beautiful cemetery with dramatic views of moss draped live oaks and ornate gravestones and monuments. Worth a visit if you are staying in nearby Savanah. For horror movie buffs, Lucio Fulci taped a few scenes here for his 1980 move, City of the Living Dead.

Absolutely amazing. My partner and I travel the world focusing on famous cemeteries. This one did not disappoint. Make sure to get a map from the front office. Sections C through H are where most of the interesting internments and statues are

This historic cemetery still has active burials occuring within its bucolic and gently rolling terrain, amidst many old, beautiful and diverse trees and shrubs. The depth of history here goes back to colonial times with many different types of monuments, mausoleums and gravestones present. Some of the property borders the waterfront making for a diverse experience overall. Quietly walking these hallowed grounds is both solemn and touching.

As cemeteries go, this one is quite unique and visually interesting to see! Pictures don’t quite do it justice. Free to visit. I recommend driving inside and finding a spot to park and walking around for a bit. Then you can get back in your car and drive through the rest. Some very old graves here going back to the 1800s if not 1700s. A great variety in the various headstones and monuments and tombs, etc., and all the magnolia trees and Spanish moss just give it a very unique atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful place to go for a walk, have a picnic, or just chill on a bench and people- watch or read a book! The trees are absolutely amazing!!! They also have a really cool farmers’ market on Saturday mornings with fresh produce, of course, and much more - food, art, various artisan goods, and fun, quirky surprises waiting to be discovered!

This is where I'd go daily if I were living here. What a fantastic park to have an afternoon stroll, relax at one of the beaches and people watch, or find a little spot on the grass to end the day. Great history too and is famous with many films featuring the park.

Don't miss this stop. It's breath taking. Beautiful old oaks adorn this park and create an inviting place to read, nap or people watch. You could bike and run, but not this time :). Water fountain was being repaired so no water works. But beautiful non the less.

Forsyth Park is such a beautiful and dynamic place! There’s always something going on. people having picnics, kids playing, sports, and sometimes even live music. The vibe is amazing, full of life and good energy. It’s a perfect spot for walking, relaxing, or just spending time outdoors.

Really cool park in Savannah. Very popular with travelers and locals alike. The Fountain is probably the most popular draw. But, tucked away in a corner of the park is a walled garden. I've been there about 20 times and could only access it maybe 3 or 4 times. Kind of reminds you of the secret garden. Great place to stretch your legs, take your dogs, or even just relax and read a book.

This park is fabulous! It’s a busy place on Saturday with soccer, ultimate frisbee, tennis, basketball, and anything else you can imagine. It also features a wonderful market along the central, live oak-line walkway. The fountain is beautiful and there’s construction happening and it looks like maybe a new zen garden is coming. There is a stage and I’d love to come back for a concert one day. Locals and visitors should take advantage of this amazing outdoor space early and often!

Beautiful park and it should be one of the first places to visit when you are in Savannah. There is also free parking by the tenis courts and free bus that can take you from there to the waterfront and free ferry wich is great for sightseeing the whole downtown area.

Love Savannah, 3 day visit. Sunday- Wednesday. Perfect time. No crowds, took the land and sea tour. Very informative and fun. Downtown Historic area is very easy to walk. Lots of beautiful sites and plenty of places to get a bit or get a cocktail.

Simply stated, it’s one of the most beautiful cities you can visit. This time of year the weather is perfect for touring the town. Take the Trolley tour. There are 16 stops and the drivers are very knowledgeable about all the history and the buildings/homes. The selection of restaurants is incredible, ranging from burgers to fresh seafood. It’s also very walkable, within reason. Parking can be very difficult to find in the Garden District. Take the trolley, it’s goes to many places around the city.

Savannah is a beautiful city to explore!! Lots of history. We unfortunately only had a day, and it definitely wasn't enough time. We did the hop on hop off trolley tours. It was nice to have transportation around the area for the day while also having the freedom to just get off and explore. Which I highly recommend you do! The cemetery was very neat to see. I hope on our next trip to see more of what Savannah has to offer. These photos are just a glimpse into what we saw and what you can look forward to seeing yourself.

Savannah’s Historic District is full of charm and history, and it’s easy to explore entirely on foot. The Riverwalk is a highlight, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and a great honey store worth stopping by. There are hop on hop off and trolley available. Beautiful green medians lined with weeping willow and oak trees give the area a peaceful feel. Don’t miss the old cemetery and historic buildings throughout – it’s a truly memorable place to visit.

Absolutely loved exploring the Savannah Historic District! 🌿✨ Such a beautiful and charming place filled with stunning architecture, cobblestone streets, and so much history. The vibe is peaceful yet lively, with amazing restaurants, cute shops, and scenic spots everywhere. A must-visit if you want to experience true Southern charm!"

First time visiting Savannah and I fell in love! The tress are just a beautiful piece of the history here. Walking down the shops was pleasant. I enjoyed the candy store I don’t remember the name but they make the candy there and give you samples. It’s a great shop to visit and bring the kids when visiting here. Walking down the waterfront was also nice and watching the boats pass by was neat. There is so much to look at and visit. The shops have a variety of options and restaurants to choose from. I highly recommend visiting here with family. Make sure to check the weather because it can get hot.

Beautiful live oaks & huge old statues. Best part of Savannah! Stay at a hotel on River Street or Bryan Street and walk to all the great shops, bars, restaurants and live music. Great for a weekend girls getaway.

This cathedral basilica was BEAUTIFUL. The member of the church who gave us the history on the cathedral was very knowledgeable, kind and non judging. I would LOVE to visit here again. I'm not religious however I would definitely love to attend a service here one day.

A beautiful and grand church building. The tour is self-guided and can be completed in a relatively short time. A docent was present to speak with visitors. He was friendly and knowledgeable. If you like organ music, go early. We were told that the organist often practices during the first hour of the morning tour period. The best part: there is no admission fee! A nominal freewill offering is requested.

Absolutely beautiful! I did not take an official tour. Just went in and explored. Friendly staff. The front outside was under construction, but I think it will be lovely once it is restored. This is an historical landmark, beautiful, serene and definitely worth seeing. Don't forget to leave a donation before you leave; they need this to keep the cathedral beautiful and historic.

Beautiful place! It was easy to get in, and the views inside are absolutely stunning. They even share great info about the church while you’re there. I recommend checking their website for hours before you go, but we were able to walk right in and even caught a quick performance from a band — such a nice surprise!

Highly recommend visiting! A must-see on your trip to Savannah. It is absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful. Stunning architecture inside and out. There are areas inside for prayer and candle lighting. You can come and go as you please. There are guides in there to answer questions or give more information if needed. I will be back again.

The Cathedral was beautiful. It is open to the public during certain times as listed outside the building, but does have an active congregation with masses. There is no admission charge, but donations are encouraged and appreciated. Guests are asked to be respectful and quiet so those around them can have a quiet prayer time. We are definitely glad we hopped off the tour bus to go inside and see the beauty inside.

Beautiful Church. The stainless is beautiful beautiful pipe organ located in the back on the upper level. They do offer tours. It is open to everyone. They are currently doing construction sonit looks closed but it is not. If in Savannah and you like checking out old churches I highly recommended visiting.

We made reservations for five at the Pink House months earlier and it was wonderful. The property is beautiful and is in a great location easy to walk to. The service was five star, they were attentive and answered all our questions. We ordered chicken pot pie, the bourbon glazed pork loin was medium rare and it paired well with the pecan glazed sweet potato and collared greens which were the best I ever had. The fried chicken looked great and the portion was generous. The interior was beautifully decorated. We sat in the green room which had a cozy fireplace and a magnificent chandelier. This was definitely a must see.

This was a fantastic dining experience from beginning to end. Our server Shaina was an absolute super star! She was tremendously welcoming and gracious and very helpful. It was obvious that she enjoys what she does and loves all the great things that The Olde Pink House brings to the table. She was extremely knowledgeable on the entire menu as well as the history of this special establishment. The food was absolutely delicious and full of great flavors that were fresh and cooked perfectly. The cocktails were excellent as well. Another nice touch was a very special woman that came around to sing a requested song or sing happy birthday. I was fortunate enough to request a tune and also sing a duet with her on Amazing Grace! Overall. It was a fantastic evening and one that will remain in my heart for a long time. Definitely worth checking out if you are in town!

Not to be missed, make a reservation. A lovely historic house with well trained staff. Food was creative and presented well. A little warm inside (they had the fires on low for some reason), - I felt it could have used a couple of fans to move the air. However a great restaurant and very popular for a reason.

Having dinner at the Olde Pink House was such a treat! Our server Issac was so sweet and knowledgeable, the food was perfect, and the atmosphere was a cozy and welcoming 10/10. We had the stuffed flounder, the fried chicken and macaroni and cheese, the southern sushi, the fried green tomatoes, and the chocolate tarte for dessert. Every item was equally delicious in its own right. We also popped downstairs to the tavern and would absolutely go back and have drinks and food there again! So cozy and historic and the live music was such a great touch.

We went for dinner for my birthday and thought the food was good but not excellent. It’s also a bit of a production as they come and get you when your table is ready from the bar downstairs but can’t transfer your bill to your table. The she crab soup and spring roll as appetizers were okay — would actually skip appetizers if I came back. Loved my grilled pork for the main though and the sweet potato was also delicious. The Mac and cheese and fried green tomato was just okay. The biscuit is the true shining star at this restaurant, so don’t skip out on that.

Do yourself a favor: go to The Olde Pink House while in Savannah. From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed with big smiles and friendly Staff. We were seated by a charismatic Host in a great location upstairs. Our Server, Dennis, showed up immediately with a welcoming smile and caring, genuine attitude. He brought us some tasty homemade cheese straws, while we chose our entrees. We had great conversation with Dennis as he educated us on the history of the house and the city. We decided to get the fried chicken and the special, which was fried flounder in a tarragon spice on a bed of seafood risotto. I will tell you with all honesty that the fried chicken is the best we have ever had, and we are from the South. With every bite, you can taste the history of the house and the city. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, perfectly cooked. The chicken stayed hot from the time it arrived at the table to the last bite. It was truly magical. The special was also well cooked and full of flavor. Our experience was perfect and would absolutely go back. We've told everyone about the fried chicken and I could not wait to write a review so more people will know just how delicious it is. The Olde Pink House is full of character, personality, great Staff and wonderful food. Go to the Olde Pink House: you will be so glad you did.

We booked a table for lunch a month in advance. Dinner is more difficult to book. The setting is beautiful, in the historic district opposite savanna's Reynolds Square. The house dates from 1771 and it's classically appointed . The food and drinks were all tasty - classic Southern fare with creative twists. Service was attentive but a bit rushed. Worth a visit! [See also my review of Planter's Tavern in the basement.]

Overall great place to visit with a lot of attractions. Restaurants and pubs

Love e river side. A lot of things to do around. Restaurants, shops, bars, creamery stores…. Don’t miss it 💖

Lovely place, kid and dog friendly.. cute little boutique shops. A nice view of the river and you get to read about some of our war heroes.

Iconic strip with shops and food scene. Pralines and seafood are something you have to try. Nice get away for a weekend trip.

Parking $1.50 per 30 mins. Beautiful view of the river, all kinds of bars, restaurants, gift shops with t-shirts, magnets, etc. Couple pan handlers out there.

Well kept historic street full of shops, bars, eclectic restaurants all following the river. Bonus:.lots of friendly cops everywhere. You'll feel safe

Good walk, better to visit in evening

I visited South beach in first week of March. It was very quiet and finding a parking was very easy.

Tybee long beach front was extremely windy today. The beach was accessible from a long ramp over the dunes. We weren't going to swim just look.

Went during the week day. Very nice and beautiful! Saw alligators and lots of other wildlife! We had a Sea pines pass to get in not sure what protocol is used if you don't have a pass.

Beautiful park with so much to do! There's plenty of trails to explore throughout the preserve with abundant wildlife! Make sure if you're walking the trails to bring plenty of BUG SPRAY!!! The mosquitoes on the preserve are from Jurassic Park, so be prepared! Plenty of turtles and a few gator sightings as well! Kids had a great time!

The forest preserve was very nice and peaceful. There is a driving entrance and a walking entrance. The driving entrance allows you to drive your car around the preserve. The walking entrance allows you to park your car so you can get out and walk along the trails and boardwalks. From what we saw, it looks like you can also rent bikes and book a horse ride. It is $9 to enter the Sea Pines area.

We went for a nature walk with hopes to see some gators and we got both! I do suggest grabbing a map before taking the walking trails bc it was confusing on the way back from Lake Joe. We didn't get a map until the way back where we made a wrong turn and walked for a long time before figuring out way out. But it was fun and beautiful sunny weather so we didn't mind. There is informational brochures at the parking area as well as the maps. And a lot of cool informational posts throughout the walk. We had a blast! It's so beautiful and very well kept!

We just had the most amazing alligator tour in Hilton Head with Anthony, our incredible guide! He’s a 6th grade science teacher, a master naturalist, and even wrote a book about the local nature—which shows in every part of the experience. The tour takes you out on a very safe boat where you get up close with the area’s wildlife. We saw alligators, turtles, birds, and even snakes (we got to hold a small one!). Anthony’s knowledge and enthusiasm made it fun and educational for everyone. It’s the perfect adventure for families—we brought our 8-year-old niece, and she was fascinated the entire time. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

A very nice hiking trail. There is a boardwalk that takes you through a swampy area. We saw quite a few turtles as we walked this area. The hiking trails are not very long and it was not too hot, so it made for an enjoyable walk.

Trail numbered but maps not. Parking ok but not great and no restrooms so be prepared. Some paved and traveled trails and boardwalk. Heard many birds didn't see but 2 or 3. Great views of nature and island vegetation. Definitely need better maps and markings to follow.

This is a beautiful beach with a small boardwalk that leads to the clean beach. The boardwalk is lined with lots of seating under covered structured areas. The restrooms and changing areas are separate and clean. There's a handicapped parking lot located at the entrance to the boardwalk. It has 10-15 spaces. As you enter the area there's a water fountain for children to play, surrounded by benches for the parents to sit and watch. Dogs are allowed on the beach before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m. Dogs must be leashed.

A beautiful public beach. They also have free parking nearby. The beach is clean and the white sands are nice. The ocean also was not very rough so you could go into the surf without fear. Lifeguards are present as well. They have chairs and umbrellas for rent. The walk to the beach is well cared for and the plaza is also clean and inviting. Public restrooms are also clean.

Great little park with restrooms, well-maintained paths around the park with great access to the ocean. Large parking lot located right across the street. Benches, great artwork, incredible landscaping, and a large fountain. Highly recommend you visit here. Great place for a picnic or family event. Was not too crowded when we were here. Park is wheelchair accessible with a great entrance, parking lot and restroom

A beautiful fine-sand beach with excellent amenities, including plentiful free parking, wifi hotspot, restrooms, rinse stations, even a bicycle tool and air up station! The park is located near Coligny Plaza Shopping, so you can walk the beach and then easily stroll to one of the many excellent restaurants very nearby. The beach is very clean and well kept, even includes a large shared toy box for the kids. Dog friendly, and typically not too crowded, at least in October when we like to visit. The views are beautiful, and you might see a fishing boat troll by. My favorite east coast beach by far. Free wifi and parking. Wheelchair accessible with a well maintained roll-out boardwalk to the sand. Miles of beach in each direction.

We went to this beach for the family vacation. It’s just a short walk from most rentals, safe, family-friendly, and never feels too crowded. The sand is soft and clean, perfect for walking barefoot, and even on cloudy days the weather stays mild. The water and waves are warm and gentle, making it a great spot to swim or just relax.

The perfect beach. There’s plenty of room. Nice water and nice sand. I need to come back this summer when the water is warmer. The bathrooms are extremely nice and parking is free!!!

The terrain of the beach is flat so you can walk atleast a hundred meters into the ocean, calm waves and white sand. One of the cleanest beach i visited so far. Great facilities for visitors like changing rooms, shower facility, a shack on the beach and lots more. Clean and green and ample parking space.

Very well maintained, family-friendly park with a nice scenic view of the marsh and Broad Creek. There are plenty of seating areas along with covered picnic tables. There are normally food vendors in the area, so there is no need to worry about going hungry. Nice playground for the kids. If you prefer a restaurant before or after, just stroll across the street, and you will find pretty much anything you could want. Nice place to go and relax.

Beautiful park with lots to enjoy! Wide open spaces make it perfect for walking, kids, dogs, and community events. We visited before lunch and enjoyed taking our little one to the playground and strolling the sculpture trail. The grounds are very well maintained, with plenty of benches and shaded spots to sit and relax.

Absolutely beautiful! Must see spot. Plenty of images added.

A beautiful park sitting on the water, and at the foot of several wonderful shops and restaurants. Just a great spot for pictures, or a scenic walk

Shelter Cove Community Park is a very well-designed shopping center, community park for the whole family to enjoy. All of the photos were taken on our recent visit at Christmas and the park is just beautiful! The playground is great with rubber mulch and very cushioned for wild kids like mine:). Large grass area to run around or picnic with the family. Hilton Head puts on events there all the time such as movie nights under the stars, snow at the beach, 4th of July celebrations etc. Check with the community calendar to make sure you don't miss out on any of the great events going on there. This is a park we often take people that come to the beach to visit us. They always seem to maintain the park very well and we will continue to go there as it is just a great place to hang out, walk around, shop, eat, date night and of course go and see Santa Clause at Christmas!

This was one of our favorite stops as a family on our day-long biking trip! Beautiful waterfront views and a very well put-together park with lots of seating, a very nice playground (with video surveillance), and restrooms. This park is right next to the French Bakery and other good eateries.

This is a wonderful place to watch the sunset. There are walking trails, picnic benches and a nice playground for kids. Lots of children, families, teens and elderly enjoying the evening. Several people were walking their dogs. This location is near the marsh and is very peaceful. We saw lots of water birds flying overhead heading to the rookery for the night.

We visited twice on our family vacation and are so glad we did. Our first visit was for the creature craft which was free, just a quick cute craft of a sea turtle. Really enjoyable for our four year old. We did the scavenger hunt outside afterward and learned a lot about the area! Our second visit was for the farmers market and face painting. A great market, many different vendors: local farmers with lots of produce, popsicles, animal goods, soaps, scrubs, handmade goods and more. Highly recommend visiting. The face painter was really sweet and did a great job.

What a fantastic museum. 2 year old daughter loved every minute of it. The walk is beautiful, and very interesting with the history and information on the wildlife and plants. Would have happily paid entry to these grounds, however it is free. They have optional donation box so we were able to donate. We didn’t have the time but I think you could spend almost an entire day here to see everything.

Great place to walk around, lots to see. Very educational. No Alligators as shown, because it's salt water. Nice artwork for sale in museum area. No food, just some snacks. Worth a look.

My adult children, 4 year old grandson and my husband and I enjoyed it very much. There is so much to see and learn about the coastal wetlands and it is free for everyone. We were given a list of questions that could be answered at numbered stops on the trail. I enjoyed watching my grandson looking for the answers to the questions about the marshes and the animals that live there.

This is a nice diversion from Hilton Head Island activities. There is a museum in the main house and a walking trail through the grounds. There are many gardens to explore and they have a butterfly house. They even have a piece of a titan rocket that was found washed ashore and is now on display. Staff were friendly and the hike was relaxing. Admission is free but they do accept donations.

we loved it. we learned a lot about Hilton Head Island and its origins. we also learned abouts terrapins, horseshoe crabs, the American alligator and hermit crabs. we enjoyed the butterfly conservatory and walking around the property. total A+ experience.

Lovely free museum, with huge grounds full of stuff to check out like a butterfly garden, carnivorous plant garden, and a whole boardwalk. Unfortunately, it was raining that day so we could only enjoy the Discovery House. But there's plenty to do in there that took up about an hour and a half... Lots of exhibits to view, Myrtle the turtle, gift shop, and a lovely bee photography show.

I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance. It made the entrance easy and was able to plan ahead to think about what guided tours we wanted to do in advance. The grounds at Middleton are gorgeous! We learned about the Middleton family, some of the people who worked on the plantation through the years and the historical significance of plantation in shaping history. I wished the docent were more explicit about why the black slaves did not runaway or when they did the harsh repercussions. There was vert discussion about the psychological scarring of slavery and the fear instilled upon all.

It’s like taking a step back in time when entering this rice plantation. The gardens are kept in a way that you can feel the history and age. The knowledge from the staff and the few tours we did was impressive. We spent about 4hrs doing two small tours and enjoying the grounds.

I’m really glad I had the opportunity to visit this plantation. Its story is at the heart of America’s colonial beginnings. Several tours are included with the price of admission and I appreciated their Garden Tour as well as their Beyond Slavery Tour. Whether your walking the grounds, coming for lunch, or learning it’s deep history, one could easily spend the day here.

My daughters and I visited yesterday. We took the Beyond the Fields tour, about the Enslaved People's experience, with Linda. We all found it to be very informative and even emotional. The property is well preserved and tended and the docents are quite knowledgeable. The Middleton Oak is magnificent. Being mid-August, the weather was hot and humid which, combined with an approaching thunderstorm, cut our visit short. We agreed that our visit was a highlight of the trip.

This place is absolutely beautiful and the guides are great! Put on your walking shoes and prepare to see alligators. I would like to see access to the house included in admission price as it is not cheap. Also please have sandwiches/wraps in snack bar that is at entrance.

We were in town from Michigan to attend a Sunday wedding. The wind was very strong and the temperature really dropped. The wedding was held outside by the large trees. It was very scenic but quite a walk from the parking lot to spot wearing high heels. The parlor where the reception was held was a bit overwhelmed by the number of guests. There were no cocktail tables to place snacks and cocktails prior to the reception starting. The food was great and the bartenders were very attentive. It was a romantic spot for a wedding but from a logistics perspective, very challenging to get transportation to and from our hotel. Guests had to take the shuttle to and from the venue. The reception ended by 10:30 PM to account for the return shuttles to the hotel. Family and friends made it a wonderful event.

I could have spent days here instead of just a few hours. The vast grounds offer dazzling landscapes. There are tours and stories about the generations of families who lived here, both the enslaved and the plantation owners. It is a trip back in time.
