Top 50 things to do and attractions in Mount Pleasant

We only had the time to visit one plantation home while in Savannah and I chose to visit Boone Hall over the others because of the live presentations they offer, beautiful garden and infamous drive up to the house - which was absolutely breathtaking! There are many places on the property for photo opps and you truly have a day’s worth of activities to choose from. If going just to tour an old plantation home this probably isn’t the place for you as you are only allowed on the lower level of the house and the tour is rather quick. An informative ride around the property is included, as well as several live presentations/talks. Everything is very well organized and visiting doesn’t require too much walking. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend!

Great day spent here. Ticket price includes all tours, which was nice. It was a beautiful day to spend outdoors. All the staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The Gullah presentation was interesting, the house was full of antiques and the gardens were full of life. Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds

We learned a lot about American history while visiting the Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens. The grounds and buildings are beautifully maintained. Both walking and riding tours are available. There's a cafe and gift shop available on the grounds where you can catch a quick bite to eat. The staff and guides are friendly and helpful. Every aspect of life on the plantation is presented in a meaningful way. We're so glad we decided to stop by for a visit.

This was a recommended plantation tour from our hotel and I highly recommend it as well. That incredible history starts when you first pull in under a canopy of oak trees that are over 300 years old. You’ll recognize them from the movies. We took one of the Tractor tours throughout the property and the friendly tour guide gave us all the Rich history of the plantation from the past 400 years which was fascinating. They have a little restaurant and convenience store on the property plus a gift shop. I recommend touring through the slave homes and learning many different facets of life during that period. They insightfully and respectfully took you through history while also honoring so many. The mansion tour was rather interesting also - learning about the several plantation owners’ stories. Take a moment to tour the gardens (floral and butterfly) that help complete this great landmark.

Boone Hall Plantation has been one of the highlights of our trip (2025). With the government shutdown of national parks, we've been forced to seek out state and privately-operated attractions. When I Googled "best southern plantations to visit," Boone Hall Plantation was #1! After visiting, I wholeheartedly agree. The cost is reasonable. Admission includes entrance, parking, the house tour, a wagon ride through the estate, various presentations on historical topics, plus time to wander about. (Personally, the presentation on Gullah culture was my favorite.) Whatever your interest is in plantation life, you will not be disappointed. The staff members are fantastic! They are knowledgeable, courteous, and inject well-timed humor in their interactions with the guests. You are able to experience as little or as much of life at Boone Hall as you wish. A bit of advice: as soon as you arrive, go to the guest center. Speak to the representative at the desk and (s)he will schedule you on the next available tour. Fortunately, we just happened to do this and began our house tour within 20 minutes of arrival. Also, a bit of walking is involved. Walking on sandy paths is not easy for everyone. Boone Hall is a must see!

I've visited three different plantations in the Charleston South Carolina area and by far this is my favorite. Take me to this is still a working farm but I expect tourism breaks in most of their dollars. Regardless in this place at least they have most of the original plantation buildings. They also have a lot of brief informational speakers that give you a background of both the plantation and the history of the area for the 400 years or so this plantation has been in existence. Regardless this place is beautiful so if you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by and checking it out.

Honestly, there was another plantation in Charleston I wanted to visit, but they were closed, so Boone Hall came in second. The ticket price was around $40 or possibly less per person, especially with discounts like AAA, senior, or military. The drive in was a bit bumpy, so drive with caution, but we were happy to find parking right away. There were enough staff and signage to guide us easily around. Upon arrival, we first entered a building that serves as an information desk, where we learned about the history of cotton and found a small souvenir shop. The staff member was kind and asked how many in our party, offering helpful suggestions on what to see and do around the plantation. One highlight was the mini play at the Gilded Hall, it was very well done. I wish we had planned to arrive earlier in the day so we could explore more, but overall, it’s a lovely spot with rich history and beautiful grounds. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Wonderful walk under the Arthur Ravenel Jr Bridge. We saw a dolphin and lots of crabs and birds. The gift shop has lots of nice things. Restrooms are available. Plenty of parking. Plenty of places to sit and take in the scenery.

New and beautiful. This location feels safe, it is amazingly built and a lot of research put into its location. With the bridge overhead providing shade and an amazing view. Lots of areas to fish that is well maintained. A lovely gift shop and swings, benches, chairs, picnic tables it is super welcoming. Pets are not permitted on the pier and that is kind of nice since you don't have to worry about a mess or someone having a pup that doesn't have manners. Overall this is an amazing pier and park! It also leads up go Ravenel bridge and that walk is breath taking!

We had such a great time at this park with my partner and our nephew! The space is clean, well-kept, and has plenty of room for kids to run and play. Our nephew loved the playground, and there were so many spots for us to relax and enjoy watching him have fun. What made it even better was how family-friendly the atmosphere felt—safe, welcoming, and full of other families enjoying the day. It really gave us the perfect chance to spend quality time together outdoors. This is definitely a park we’ll be coming back to again and again!

Plenty of free parking right across the visitor center. This park is free and well maintained. We visited on a week day and there were only a handful of other people walking around in the park. It’s very nice and the view of the bridge was beautiful. Be mindful of the noise of the traffic from atop the bridge though. It’s actually quite loud at times. We were able to see the York Town memorial from afar which was pretty cool. Dogs are allowed in most of the park but not on the pier which was disappointing to us. There’s a good sized cafe/gift shop at the entrance to the pier that sells breakfast at a reasonable price.

The sunset views from this park are breathtaking—watching the sky shift from golden hues to soft pinks and purples is a moment you’ll want to savor. Whether you're with friends, family, or just flying solo, it’s a great place to kick back, enjoy some quiet time, and take in nature’s beauty.

Absolutely great place for walking, AM or PM. We had gone later at night, and in the morning. Lots of misquotes, but it’s that time of year. You can walk up onto the bridge and overlook the water.

Lovely, quiet morning out by the water. Nice, clean walking trails, statues, and a good place for quiet reflection or an early morning stretch.

Charles Pinckney National Historic Site is free to enjoy. There is a small gravel parking lot and a large covered picnic pavilion with large, nice restrooms. There is a trail around the estate. Bring bug spray! The house is pretty small with a knowledgeable ranger and a museum. There is a small store as well. The museum dies a good job of explaining the importance of the Pinckney family to our nation. It also has information on the Gullah people who descended from the enslaved people in the Charleston area, including a Gullah translation of the Bible! I found it fascinating. Overall, it's a nice, simple place to visit for an hour or so.

Very informative. Enjoyed going through the house/ museum (Free!!) Use bug repellent. The online hours are for the park, not the museum/house. Best to visit on a weekend.

This National Historic Site celebrates Charles Pinckney and his wife who invented indigo cultivation for dye. It's a small site with a generous parking lot, open area, nature trail, and historic home. The park ground are open daily but be sure to verify the house is open before you arrive. They are closed some days so you won't be able to enter or get your park stamp.

Definitely a neat historic place to visit. I am glad I went to explore and appreciate the history there, the good and not so good. Thank you for preserving this piece of our nations history.

This National Historic Site is a nice trip to spend a few hours at. It's less than a half day so if you need something to do or would like to learn about a South Carolina statesmen I would recommend going. Key Notes: - It's free! - The stamp for the national park book is located in the gift shop - There is parking with restrooms right by the parking area. - There is a scheduled tour, you will meet by the bathrooms in the picnic area, starts at 11:00 am. - You can go inside the house (it's not the original) for some interesting historical reads, watch a short film about Charles Pinckney and to visit the gift shop. - There are a few walking trails but you will want to bring sun screen, bug spray and wear comfortable shoes during the warm months. - Great place to have a picnic - They have doggie bags to pick up waste - They have a water fountain for filling up water bottles near the bathroom - There is poison ivy so be on the lookout. They saying to remember if it's poison ivy: If you see 3 leaves let it be, if there's 5 you're fine. I would recommend going, there is a lot to learn about this South Carolinian statesmen who played a big role in the Declaration of Independence.

Beautiful and quiet. The rope that grew into a tree was cool and one of the giant trees you can see daylight through up towards the top. It's really great that people took the time and effort to reclaim this history for the public.

I didn’t go inside the house - too hot and stuff today but the grounds are beautiful! Lots of trails out in the open and through the woods through small tree tunnels. There are signs with history bites all over the property. Bathrooms are clean and there is a filtered water refill station. It is a coveted station and there are quite a few picnic tables and trash receptacles. Parking lot is a decent size (maybe 15 spots). Gravel. Leashed pet dogs are welcome everywhere except inside the house.

I had a great time exploring the U.S.S. Yorktown! I decided to add the Captain’s Tour to my tour experience and it was well worth it. My tour guide, Dan Bommarito, did a fantastic job making the tour entertaining, enlightening and all around more enjoyable for everyone in the group. As a marine, it was great to hear about the history of the ship from the perspective of a fellow Devil Dog. I look forward to taking my kids next time I go!

We visited both the Yorktown and the fort Sumter exhibits during our 1-day visit. It is reasonable to visit both in the same day if you get an early start, like by 10am. The ferry took us to Ft Sumpter and we stayed just about an hour there. At the fort there was no food drink or bathrooms, but the ferry had those on board. It was well worth the trip. After returning, we took in the Yorktown. It was well worth worth the 3 hours that we spent on board. We did not do a guided tour but we were able to see all the placards and got a good sense of the ship. Just be aware that there are a lot of steps/ ladders involved, but I think if you're reasonably able to negotiate them you would have a good time.

My two boys and I had an amazing time visiting Patriots Point. We spent hours exploring the USS Yorktown and the USS Laffey. It was incredible to walk the decks and learn about the ships’ history and the brave crews who served aboard them. The exhibits were both educational and engaging, and my kids were fascinated by all the interactive displays and aircraft. We also really enjoyed the Medal of Honor Museum. It was a powerful and inspiring experience that gave us a deeper appreciation for the heroes who have served our country. Overall, Patriots Point is a must-visit for families who love history and hands-on learning. It was the perfect mix of fun and education, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

A Great Family Outing! This is a fantastic place to visit with the family. Be prepared for plenty of walking and several steps throughout the ship — but that's all part of the experience. One highlight was the impressive Vietnam War dedication area, which was both educational and engaging for the kids. A meaningful and memorable visit for all ages!

This place was amazing! We took the ferry to Fort Sumtner and toured both the ships. My kids loved seeing the planes and helicopters on the air craft carrier. We spent about 4 hours total here and even saw some dolphins hanging out right next to the ships

A Must Visit Place in Charleston ! So many artifacts alongwith the history associated with it. Few points to note :- 1. Ready to climb so many stairs, so wear good shoes. 2. From ticket counter to Ship, you can get a free ride in shuttle service.

It was a great museum. Especially captain exclusive room was interesting. I bought captain’s Guided tour, I highly recommend visitor to buy it. Because you can look around something special spots for whom bought the Captain’s tour. Flight deck area was spectacular. There was a short documentary movie you can watch in theatre spot.

Great spot to walk! We visited early morning on a weekday and there was plenty of parking alongside there street. Fish were fun to watch jumping out of the water. Nice and quiet and peaceful.

As Charleston photographers, we love Pitt Street Bridge. We've photographed proposals, weddings, yoga teachers, family sessions, and maternity sessions there. You've got great views of the water, the marshes, and the nearby bridges. Sunsets can be amazing as well. We've never had a bad day at Pitt Street.

A really great place to watch sunset and/or sit and relax. Plenty of parking by the road, just before the park. We got to see a really pretty sunset although the clouds came in just as the sun was about to disappear. I would advice wearing covered clothes as there are flies and bugs close to the water.

Saw lots of fish jumping when we got there around 10am. Tried fishing for them but didn't catch any. We did sight a big sheepshead (zebra) fish at the end of the walk.

Lovely! Great spot for fishing, crabbing and enjoying the scenic view.

I can’t believe I lived in Charleston for almost 9 years without ever visiting this park/bridge. Wandered over here on a Saturday afternoon and wasn’t disappointed! Views are awesome in every direction, people were fishing, biking, walking… The park has a lot of character and it’s somewhat of a hidden gem I’d say. I will definitely be back with my camera for some sunset photos of the Charleston cityscape with the bridge!

Well it was just the old bridge when I was a kid living on Simmons St. Was there several times a week in the summer, that or the slip and slide. Interesting and groundbreaking techniques were used when it crossed ICW to Sullivan's. Had a train I believe used to fortify Moultrie and Thompson battery's. Regardless the view hasn't changed nor the smell of pluff mud. Love that place.

Love Shem creek. It has a fabulous walkway through the marsh and out to the ocean. Watch dolphins and beautiful wildlife. Magical

Shem Creek is hands‑down one of my favorite spots in the Lowcountry! That’s saying something in a place packed with postcard views. Whether you’re a first‑timer or a regular, there’s always something new to see, shoot, or taste out here. The minute you step onto the wooden boardwalks and look down the creek toward Charleston Harbor, you’ll understand why Hollywood keeps sneaking back. (Fun fact: several scenes from Outer Banks were filmed right here—so if the view feels familiar, that’s why) Shrimp trawlers drift by with brown pelicans riding shotgun, marsh grasses glow gold at sunset, and dolphins pop up often enough that locals barely flinch anymore. Bring binoculars if you’re into wildlife; bring a big memory card if you’re into photography. I come back all the time and still fill up SD cards by the end of the golden hour. As a photographer, I love how the light bounces off the water and those weathered boats. Early mornings give you calm, glassy reflections; late afternoons paint the sky pink and orange behind the Ravenel Bridge. Even on cloudy days, the shrimp boats, crab traps, and tangled ropes make for moody maritime shots. There are elevated overlooks, hidden nooks on side docks, and plenty of spots to set up a tripod without blocking foot traffic. When the stomach growls, you’re spoiled for choice. Saltwater Cowboys is my go‑to for smoked wings and a rooftop view; Tavern & Table nails Lowcountry comfort with shrimp and grits that might ruin you for life; and Red’s Ice House keeps it casual with cold beer, live music, and “boat‑watching” seats right on the creek. The best part? If you want to hop between appetizers at one place, mains at another, and sunset cocktails somewhere else, it’s all a few board‑planks apart. Not just a stroll‑and‑eat destination: outfitters rent kayaks and paddleboards if you want to slide past the shrimp fleet at water level (sunrise paddles are unreal). Charter boats run sunset cruises and inshore fishing trips, too. If you’re traveling with kids, there’s enough boat traffic, wildlife, and ice‑cream‑within‑500‑feet to keep them happy for hours. Parking is free but fills fast on weekends—aim for before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. if you want an easy spot. The boardwalk is stroller‑ and wheelchair‑friendly, with plenty of benches and shade trellises to cool off in summer. Bug spray never hurts at dusk (marsh life, y’all), and a light jacket is smart once that harbor breeze kicks in. Shem Creek nails the trifecta: unbeatable Lowcountry scenery, top‑notch seafood, and enough photo ops to keep any camera junkie buzzing. I’ve visited more times than I can count, and every trip still hands me something Instagram hasn’t seen yet. If you’re anywhere near Charleston—or just binge‑watched Outer Banks and want to walk the set—make Shem Creek your next stop. Five stars, every time.

Shem Creek is such a gem in the Charleston area! The views are absolutely unbeatable – especially at sunset when the whole creek lights up with boats, water reflections, and that classic Lowcountry sky. The boardwalk is perfect for a walk, and we even spotted dolphins while we were there. Tons of great restaurants line the water, all with a fun, laid-back vibe and fresh seafood. Whether you’re grabbing a drink, going for a kayak ride, or just enjoying the view, this is one of those can’t-miss Charleston experiences.

Can’t wait to come back, most relaxing time, spent at Shem Creek! Reds Ice House awesome!!!

Please understand this place stays packed! Food is good and everyone here is usually there for the drinks! Food is closed after 11pm and only drinks are served! You will see dolphins in the canal which is AMAZING! you also might see the OBX crew ( I didn’t 🥺)

Walking the boardwalk and watching the pelicans dive for food was a highlight of my trip! It's a lively area with much to do. The visitor signs along the boardwalk gave great info on this areas history and wildlife.

Lovely place to walk and enjoy the places to eat

First time going here with 3 kids. They loved the observation tower. They also really liked the storybook walk it was short enough and had signs with little poems on them. Plus seeing all the crabs and lizards running around was really cool. It was super hot so we decided to go to the pool it was so nice for younger kids. The toddler splash pad type pool was super close to the swimming pool I could stand there with my toddler and still clearly see my older kids. The swimming pool didn't go deeper then 3 1/2 feet deep I think. It was really fun and decently priced.

Very impressed with this county park. Multiple trails and areas to explore. Beautiful scenery as you are surrounded by marsh and trees. Highly recommend if you are in the Charleston SC area.

BRING BUG SPRAY!!! Great spot for a walk in the outdoors. It’s nice to have a place IN MT PLEASANT that truly feels like an escape. There are paved paths and more trail-like paths. The girls had a great time on the playground and the staff was helpful when we were lost. Love the county parks. $2 per entry unless a child is under 2 (free) Or free entry with the Parks Gold Pass Cannot emphasize bug spray enough 🦟

Unassumingly cool park. It's not huge, but definitely large enough to enjoy a nice walk out in nature among the woods and marshes. Wildlife everywhere. Birds nesting deep in the marsh grasses. You can hear them calling out to each other, sometimes even just a few feet away from you, but you can't see them. What you can see are the thousands upon thousands of teeny tiny marsh crabs skittering about everywhere. Very cool, if not slightly unsettling! The observation tower provides a beautiful view, although it seemed a tad wobbly. Might want to look into that! Facilities seemed nice. There were fishing docks, picnic pavilions for rent, etc. We loved their old 70s logo. Almost wanted to buy a shirt!

Had a really nice walk along the paths. Easily accessible. Great views

Great park, not crowded at all. The squirrels at the park will be curious if you pull out food. Well maintained, clean, $2 admission. Alot larger than I expected when google playgrounds near me lol. It has a 5 and under playground with the larger playground.

Excellent park for walking the dog, both paved and gravel trails along the water. Plenty of parking near trails and restrooms on the trail. Definitely will visit every time we are in the area, highly recommend.

Local vegetables and fruits, cakes, cooked food, deco, more. Bring your kids. Meet your friends there. Local and state growers. Plenty of vendors. You can even bring your dog. Had fun meeting people and making new friends. Great place to visit.

Go... every Tuesday in the summer. So many great things... support local businesses.

Nice Tuesday farmer’s market that’s suitable for a quick stop to taste some fresh local produce and snacks while visiting mountain pleasant. Parking is limited so get there early.

All locally grown and the selection is great just remember to bring cash some vendors only accept cash. The prices are low as well everything was priced lower than the grocery stores.

A great place to get locally made, grown or baked unique products and foods.

Great little farmers market. Seasonal veggies, along with local food truck vendors. Parking during the school year can be a little hard as parents and teachers may still be in the parking lots, but once school is out for summer parking is much easier.

This is the best place to shop for local vegetables, fruits and local spices! It’s where the locals shop from May-September!

Nice location to brings kids for a party. We only visited the arcade which was fun. 3 kids were able to play the VR Omni game which is $10/person. Then we played some at the arcade. Prices for games is pretty high compared to other places. Only a few games for $1. Even air hockey was $1.75. Otherwise seemed like a nice location to visit again.

My bridesmaids and I had so much fun playing a round of putt putt here for my bachelorette trip! Definitely the cleanest putt putt/arcade I have ever been to. Staff were super friendly and made the experience very memorable! We will definitely be back to play again next time we are back in Charleston. Ended the night with some Dippin’ Dots. Highly recommend!!!!

Myself and family had a great experience at Charleston fun park. The customer service was good. I took off points because it was hot in the establishment temperature wise.

OMGG had the most amazing time for Nea’s Bachelorette here!! Can’t wait for our girl to get married 💕. These folks go above and beyond . We had a blast and customer service is so good! Dress is from white fox.

Preston at the prize counter was awesome, super friendly, polite, and helpful while we picked out our lovely prizes. He made the whole experience, fun and easy. Great customer service. Would recommend coming to cfp.

We had a great time playing mini golf and riding go carts. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We went during the week, and it was kinda slow, but it was Monday. I would definitely recommend visiting to play fun games with the family. Very family-friendly. We visit every time we are in town.

My kids always have a blast here. They have done a great job keeping all of the games working. Bonus credits from a larger purchase recommended to give you more bang for your buck. Most recent visit we worked with an employee Kato who was super pleasant and patient with my kids while they picked prizes. We had misplaced a stuffed animal we won and had given up and were about to leave, but he went above and beyond and helped us track it down. He chased us into the parking lot and officially became my daughter’s hero. Thank you!!

Loved this pier/park. Very clean, and beautifully laid out. There were nice walking paths and, a playground that mirrored the design of the bridge. A lovely water feature with seating around it, and another area had a splash pad, skating area, and basketball courts. Plenty of lawn space for picnics and watching kids run around. The actual pier was spectacular. There are plenty of shaded seating areas, and tables to sit at. The fishing areas were clean and it was fun watching the patrons catch fish, turtles, and even a sting ray (which all got thrown back in). The views are lovely all around and the sunset was peaceful.

This place was great. Playgrounds. Splash pad. Gift shop. However the fishing was abysmal. We went in the afternoon and didn’t account for the tides. Even walking to the end of the dock the water was maybe 1.5- 2’ deep. The first half of the dock was just over wet sand. That is my fault but man it was disappointing. Me and numerous other anglers were skunked. Still a nice place but either go super early or super late if you want to fish.

Awesome place with large playground close by under the bridge. Great place to stay out of the sun, and a perfect place for a walk at sunset. Plenty of parking, and can grab a drink (beer and wine) and walk to the end of the pier. Nice modern pier, and plenty of seating.

Great views of the bridge. Plenty of free parking. A shop with food and stuff. Lots of benches to sit and people watch. You can fish but need to pay. Lots of fancy playground equipment for young kids.

Great pier in my opinion I love how it’s kind of shaded by that big bridge! It really depends on the tide to what you you’re going to catch, but we were able to catch one good pen fish around 1pm. I love how the gift shop offers pole rentals. It’s a great plus if you’re From out of town and wanting to fish. The pier was pretty busy from people walking and running to fishing with their kids. People from all ages and all different nationalities 🙌🏻 Everyone seem to be very nice and friendly! As it should be

The pier is great! There are several bathrooms and playground areas for kids. The parking was super easy to get to.

This is an amazing park and pier. There is a massive playground for kids, beautiful views of the bridge, and some nice pathways. There is plenty of parking and some cool artwork too. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful! Clean walkways and boardwalks. Plenty of benches, trash receptacles. Restrooms are clean and well-maintained. Didn’t see any dolphins this time, will have to return!!!

🌅 Go Early or Late Local park with a nice long boardwalk. ♿️Accessible for views of the creek and wild life. Be sure to get there early or late. Gravel driveway with a few deep pot holes. Paid overflow parking as free parking is limited. They do have a few places to sit and enjoy the view. Public restrooms are available as well. A nature lovers quiet get away.

message: “It was a wonderful experience visiting this place. Whether you’re planning a short trip or a longer stay, it’s definitely worth it. The boating experience and the breathtaking sunset views make it truly memorable.”

Beautiful boardwalk for a leisurely walk through the marsh. There is no shortage of wildlife. We took our stroll around sunset which was perfect. It seemed to be very popular with fishermen and kayakers too.

Beautiful place to watch a sunrise at the ground level in the marsh. I would love to come back in the evening for the restaurants. My wife went tot he road on the bridge and was able to capture more picture of the sunrise. Overall, great experience.

Excellent boardwalk for after dinner walk. We saw egrets, live oyster, even sting ray as a fisherman caught one.

Shem Creek Park in Mt. Pleasant is breathtaking, the views here are incredible! The boardwalk is very clean, and dog friendly. We did get to see a bit of wildlife during our visit, an egret flew in!

Outstanding tour, preserving and presenting our American history through exhibits, video and information. We toured the USS Yorktown first, there are four tours associated with this great ship. Top side and at the entrance you get up close to 28 vintage aircraft. Explore the working operations of the ship from, medical to meals. This was a very interesting and informative tour. Next you have the medal of honor museum inside the Yorktown and next to the ship is the USS Laffey Destroyer. On the way out you get to tour the Vietnam experience. They offer video in addition to the exhibits. Definitely worth touring. There are restrooms by the gift shop and a parking lot just outside at $5 hour to park. Plan on spending a minimum of 3 hours, but 4 or 5 is more reasonable. Definitely worth the visit. I highly recommend.

So much to see and do at this location, there's no way to take in all of it in one day, especially if you want to take the Fort Sumter boat tour to explore the Fort. What would be so nice would be if they offered a discounted ticket for a second day if you cannot see it all in one. Plan on spending the entire day and get that early! But well worth it!

Had a great time with hubby touring the ships. Brings back great memories of my time in the Navy. Great place to visit. Close to downtown Charleston. A must visit when in Charleston.

These were pictures taken from The Vietnam Experience. This was one of the smaller exhibits, but the most moving. Patriot Point is a very educational experience, that will tug at your heart-strings, as you encounter actual interviews with surviving veterans, and hundreds and hundreds of on-hand displays.

had a ton of fun checking out the aircraft carrier and exploring all the rooms and tunnels inside, really cool experience.

Beautiful location. Great time as always. We love coming here. It's historic, patriotic, and fun. Highly recommend to anyone visiting. 👌

This museum is one of a kind. There is so much to see and do while you're there, and so expect it to take a majority of the day. Anyone that is interested in history, will enjoy this museum. There is a lot of walking so wear good shoes.

Located on Charleston Harbor, the Cold War Submarine Memorial stands as an enduring tribute to the dedicated men who served in our submarines during this unique and dangerous period in our nation's history; to their families who remained behind and managed alone at home during their long absences; and to the men and women, both civilian and military, who provided the superb support that assured the remarkable success of their missions. One corner of Patriot’s Point that you may not have noticed at first is the Cold War Memorial. Its design, size, and sheer emotion will move you beyond words. The monument is a Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine rising from under the ground beside the highway. It is breathtaking. The monument’s design placed the sail and rudder of the USS Louis and Clark where they would be on the submarine. This gives a unique perspective of the sheer size of the boat. Around the site is a walking trail with educational stations to pay homage to the sacrifice and risk these men took.

My husband and I went to this amazing place and we enjoyed it tremendously. This is an absolute beautiful memorial. I will definitely be coming back here to view this beautiful place.

Thank You, Thank You, to all the men of the silent service. I would put this memorial in my top 10 because it is a thoughtful work of art. What these sailors did to keep the peace will never be truly known. I thank them for keeping the other side in check. A must visit for any persons who have uttered the words thank you for your service to any military member. Clean and shaded, but no bathrooms.

I guess since they lost the display sub this is what they do now here. From 100 foot away it looks like a sub surfacing through the grass. Get close and you see the concrete. I went to the point expecting to see a real submarine along with the carrier and destroyer. Had no idea the sub sunk and was towed away.

Was looking forward to learning about the submarines but found little information. The park has more information about the war and the heros than on the submarines. There are many benches and stone tables dedicated to the heros that fought in the wars. There is a mound that looks like a submarine and 2 pieces of the tops of a real submarine. I would have loved to know what they came off and if the mounds were a life-size replica of submarine. The information stands are in need of updating, they are fading and peeling. I feel like this place just needs a little love and sprucing up. If you are in the area, come check it out.

Benches for Submarines of the Cold War Era. The George W Carver crew raised money and placed a bench in the park. We've had 2 impromptu reunions there and a memorial service for those shipmates who have passed since our last full reunion. There are many benches there now. A beautiful place to reflect on times and memories of that era.

A really neat little park. Not exactly easy to get to or near anything. It's a walk across the parking lot from the Yorktown. The benches are dedicated to all of the different submarine crews.

Laurel Hill County Park is tucked away at the back of the Park West Sports Complex. The trails are shaded with tree canopies. The paths were recently cleared and roots shaved down to provide an even and clear walking surface. While walking we saw a barred owl, woodpecker, and bald eagle. We went the day after a heavy rain and the trails were a bit muddy. I recommend sneakers or shoes good for mud if you go after a rain. On a non-rain day, all footwear is acceptable. It was little tricky to find as Google takes you to the 41 entrance that leads to a chained gate. Eventually we found the correct entrance on Park West Blvd. Once in the lot, you drive all the way to the farthest baseball fields with plentiful parking. Tip: take a photo of the trail maps as you can get turned around at the forks in the trails.

Peaceful Park but Needs a Few Improvements The park is wonderful—very secluded and feels like a true escape from the city noise. It’s a great spot to unwind! However, there are a couple of issues. Bugs are abundant (understandable for a forested area), but some treatment could help manage them. Also, there are no trash cans, which is inconvenient, especially for the many dog walkers who have nowhere to dispose of waste bags. Overall, a lovely spot that could benefit from a few small improvements!

Absolutely gorgeous park, with wide, well maintained trails and a variety of different scenery. We did the orange and white trail, which was about 3 miles. Beautiful forests, with a variety of critters. And then it opens up into an amazing avenue of oaks in the heart of the park. Highly recommend for a scenic, easy, interesting walk!

Nice trails, very confusing directions. It seems the normal way to access the park is to drive to the Laurel Hill County Park Trailhead (there's a separate Google Maps pin) in the NW corner of the Park West Sports Complex. Park by baseball field 3 and take the path between it and a large grass field. There is a very inconspicuous sign marking the path. Once you find it, though, there are nice trails. We biked the 5 mile loop and while it was fairly rough for my hybrid bike, it's pretty compact and well-cleared. The oak allee is pretty, and we saw several large birds. There are several options for shorter loops, as well. If you don't have a pass, bring a dollar to deposit at the trailhead, or you can pay by phone

Excellent trail and beautiful scenery. Walked with 34 lb weighted vest so great workout red route.

Spent a lovely spring Saturday morning walking the loop. Saw a baby alligator at one of the ponds. Enjoyed the oak alley. Saw lots of people on the trail but it wasn’t crowded. Can’t wait to do it again!

Former plantation land, can still find remnants of brick from the ruins of the house that once stood here if you look carefully. The alley of oaks that lines the former driveway is very pretty. Cool place with a fading history

Brilliant design which stands out in the distance of the Charleston skyline. However, what makes this bridge really unique is the public footpath for walking, running and cycling. Well worth a jog over.

I once drove our public school bus across the old Cooper River bridge to deposit it in Mount Pleasant for the summer, from Summerville - I was in the 11th grade! Times have changed, and so has the bridge. Both are beautiful in their own way!

An interesting and beautiful walk. For much of it, because you don't see the piers and you sense some movement due to traffic, it feels like you are walking on a floating concrete path.

Nearing the end of a great cruise in the waters surrounding Charleston. The bridge stands out in stark contrast to this beautiful historic city.

We got to see this bridge from The battery as we watched the sunrise. It’s in the distance but what a beautiful bridge

Great bridge walk, run, ride. Only entered from the north side. Lots of free parking underneath. Supposed to be walkers one one lane, bikes in other. Lots of people have problems with that concept.

11/24 We hiked to the bridge today end to end and back. A fantastic walk, good breeze and a little noisy at times. Just over 5 miles. Photos include boat ride after under the bridge. Excellent experience.

We loved everything about this restaurant. From the hostess to our server to the food. I had Page's Famous Chicken & Waffles which was amazingly delicious. It's a savory waffle with bits of cheddar, corn, chorizo & jalapeño (but it wasn't spicy). The fried chicken breasts were flattened and easy to eat. My husband had Shrimp & grits which he absolutely loved. The grits are formed into cakes and then fried. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the grave was a light and creamy type instead of the usual brown type. Neither if us could finish our meals although we tried. Our server, Taylor, was outstanding!

Amazing food! We got the classic Charleston seafood platter with a side of mac and cheese and okra fries and hushpuppies. Hushpuppies were small like just 2 balls the size of munchkins, but had flavor. The rest of the entree was deep fried goodness with lots of flavor in the batter. We also got the bass entree and the shrimp that came with that entree was so mouthwatering good, I will think about them every-time I have shrimp now. The carrot cake was huge. This was one of our most expensive meals during this trip but it was totally and completely worth it. They had so much indoor and outdoor seating. If you’re out of town, this is great.

We’ve eaten here several times and enjoyed every meal. This is a great take on southern food without the meals feeling overly heavy. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place.

If I could give 10 for all I would! Where to begin?! First, the wait time was not long at all, even though the place was buzzing. We were seated and immediately greeted by, by far, The best waiter I've ever had! Andy - thank you for being so great at what you do! He gave us recommendations for his favorite dishes, constantly kept me, my wife, sister in law and her friend laughing and entertained! The food! My wife got the award winning shrimp and grits! And they lived up to their name! And even better, they flash fry their grits for a little extra crunch! TJ's hot mess breakfast is great, and I had the crab cake eggs Benedict, so good! The atmosphere is amazing! Charleston is known for its amazing restaurants and vibes, this place definitely is one reason why! If you're ever in Charleston, look up Page's Okra Grill!

We stopped in for lunch and ordered a basic smash burger and a steak ribeye sandwich. The burger was tasty with a generous amount of sauteed onions and cheese. The steak sandwich was a bit fatty and a bit of a disappointment. Service was very good and atmosphere ok. Hard to evaluate a place when only ordered a basic type of hamburger and generic steak sandwich. Maybe the classic Southern dishes are a better choice here.

Tyler our server was outstanding. He was great. We had a table of 8 and he was awesome. The food came out fast, Tyler was refilling drinks, answering questions. The staff were perfect andfood was very good.

Can't say enough how attenative the waitress Lauren was. She was at our table 5 to 6 times to check on how the experience and food was. The cooks did such an amazing job on the food. Seasoned to perfection and given in a timely manner. Atmosphere was amazing. Loved the music they played. If you get the chance please enjoy this place.

Aquarium was extremely small for the price of admission. We were pretty dispointed. I don't think we were there for more than 45 minutes. The facility itself was beautiful and clean. Animals looked well taken care of. just wish there was more to do.

The South Carolina Aquarium is small but mighty! They have a beautiful selection of fish and the staff is so kind and knowledgeable. Their conservation efforts are so important, and supporting them is worth it. This is an awesome place for adults and littles alike! It’s clean, accessible, and a great place to learn about our finned friends. I hope Milkweed (the beautiful turtle pictured) feels better and gets to go home soon!

Smaller than other aquariums we have visited. The turtle rescue experience, the stingray tank, and touch tank were the highlights. They also had some very cool kid friendly interactive STEM kid experiences.

We got there early and were able to get through before everything was terribly crowded. We spent about an hour and a hlaf roaming thru and could've spent longer. We engaged with some staff members and they shared information about certain exhibits with us. Everyone we came into contact with were very friendly and engaging.

Nice aquarium! Plenty to do. Hands on stuff is really cool, and touching stations are included in admission, which is very nice. Shout out to the coolest hand washing stations I have ever seen! They have several different types and sizes of exhibits. My son loved seeing the divers in the big tank. The views outside are amazing. You can also get snacks at the snack bar, and they have a sizable gift shop. The parking garage is really close and only $5. As bonus, if the dude is selling ice pops on the way back to the garage, get one!

The Charleston Aquarium is a truly extraordinary experience! The vast exhibits, especially the stunning large aquarium and the spectacular sharks, left me in awe. Every moment spent there was captivating, making it a must-visit destination for anyone who loves marine life. Highly recommended!

We had a great time! So many things to look at and learn about. We loved how we could see the Sea turtles they are rehabilitating. My son loved all the touch tank experiences.

The Charleston City Market is always a fun stop when visiting the city. There’s a little bit of everything here, so it’s easy to find souvenirs or unique gifts. Prices can be on the higher side, but that’s pretty standard for a tourist spot. On one of my first visits, a kid handed me a palm rose, and before I knew it, a man was chasing me down asking for $5—it gave off a bit of a New York street hustle vibe. The market is usually crowded and can get very hot in the summer, but there’s a small indoor section with food options, air conditioning, and surprisingly clean bathrooms, which was a welcome break.

Love shopping at the Charleston city market! Lots of great Christmas and birthday gift ideas! People are friendly and there is so much to look at. We also took an E-bike ride to the pineapple fountain and enjoyed sitting by the waterfront. Don’t miss a horse-drawn carriage ride around the city, in the evening, complete with spooky ghost stories and delicious restaurants all around. Overall, Charleston is a fun walkable city with lots of history and a fun vibe!

A beautifully designed market with a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Partially air-conditioned, featuring charming shops and stalls. The vendors are friendly, not pushy, and very customer-focused. There’s a great variety of products to discover, and plenty of good food options around the market. Definitely worth a visit!

A tourist thing in Charleston. You could buy some souvenirs and we got a really cute coaster and a meh magnet. Things are pricey but not incredulous. There is a callies hot biscuit to try. Some very cool art like metal art and real butterflies taxidermy. Went in pouring stormy weather but I can imagine a more laid back stroll at the market with a loved one would be nice. Not every stall is super different so maybe the nyc in me is spoiled and I am looking for novelty. The other thing would be if there were more snacks or bites to try. But overall decent. Not stunning.

The Charleston City Market is a fun indoor/partially outdoor shopping experience. It's easy to find souvenirs or unique Charleston gifts. Prices can be on the high side, but that’s standard in a tourist area, some vendors will haggle on prices. We were there mid November which was perfect for walking around, but if your there in the summer I would go early morning.

This is a must see, local artist, specialty booths and tons of Charleston charm. Had a wonderful time, bought a few Charleston Christmas Ornaments, a few pieces of jewelry and some gifts. The outdoor Market has air-conditioning for those hot days. Would recommend this as a place to visit .

Charleston City Market is a must see while visiting the city. The market is filled with artisans and vendors offering all kinds of goods. Everything from jewelery to food. The area around the market is surrounded by unique shops and restaurants offering a wide variety of food choices. The market is a fun way to spend the day looking for that one of a kind gift.

So nostalgic! We had ice cream, which was really good. I've noticed a lot of ice cream served these days is tasteless, but not here! This little gem is situated in a quaint area and is also one of the filming locations of the Notebook movie. I love it there! Good old fashion fun!

My little 16 yr old chihuahua was struggling getting the pills down for her CHF. Luckily her cardiologist knew Pitt Pharmacy compounded for not only humans but also dogs. They made her medicine in chicken flavor and mailed it to me since I’m 3 hrs away! She takes it with no problem and it has massively decreased my stress for her twice daily pill taking! It’s decreased her hatred of having to take them too!!! Thank you for being SO amazing and offering this service!! You guys are the best!!!!

Great food, even better service. If you get the chance to have Maddy serve you, ask her to show you her disappearing hot dog magic trick! That trick is a must see!!

Store is cute. It's where The Notebook ice-cream scene was filmed which is why we went. We decided to get food and ice-cream while we where there. We ordered a hamburger. We were told in advance they were out of tomatoes which was fine, but they didn't put lettuce on it either although menu said it came with it. I could have gotten a better burger for a cheaper price at Burger King or McDonald's. We also got a chilli dog which was pretty good, but they didn't have any knives. It made eating it pretty hard because the fork wouldn't cut it. Afterwards, we got 2 scoops of ice-cream. The scoops were very small. I definitely didn't get my money's worth for the amount. The ice-cream tasted like sour milk. I have never had ice-cream taste that way before. Hard pass, but I still say go visit. Just skip the food.

So, we drove up from Baltimore to celebrate our nephew after college in his music. This pharmacy closes at 6:00 on a Friday night… complained about our music at 6:30 at the end of the block because why? Not a clue, I’ll let you decide. Simply put , closed minded folks just needs to stop. This disgusts me to the core. Not a pharmacy I would give a nickel. Change is needed.

Such a fun nostalgic place! Great service and awesome ice cream! The place was busy, and now I can see why! Do yourself a favor and check this place out in the old village!

Loved this place. The breeze was great... the boardwalk was great. Beautiful scenery, boats, and more.

Old-style pharmacy & ice cream parlor. A few shops and restaurants. The area is very congested. Driving around and looking at the houses in the vicinity was more fun. We did get to see some movie magic, Netflix was doing some filming for the Outerbanks series.

Both the Mt Pleasant and Sullivan's Island historic districts were nice. Mt Pleasant has a drug store dating back to the early 1900s. They have their own brand of ice cream and a wall of historic artifacts.

Darling little town...some interesting shops but they are very expensive. Gala dessert is a darling Cafe, great food, fab Cranberry orange scones...best in the city in my opinion. Nice outdoor patio too.

Lots of shopping, restaurants and historic buildings. Taking some kind of tour is helpful to get the historic information.

Very cool area of Mount Pleasant it used to be all of Mount Pleasant has the old school pharmacy where you can get milkshakes and all your medicines and burgers lots of really cool houses a gym nearby churches two blocks back from the water that ever looks Charleston Harbour and the Arthur Ravenel bridge

Old Village is a hidden gem in Mount Pleasant! The town has waterfront views, walkable streets, old houses, and a square with shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Stores were few & over priced but the homes were gorgeous & just what one would expect to find Ina 100+ years town!

Beautiful place!! What a lovely idea to fill everything with colors 🌈 Without a doubt, a place full of history and beauty 💗🫶🏻 Perfect for taking photos, but if you visit on the weekend, like I did, be prepared to wait for places to take them 📸 The heat was also intense! Apart from that, the place is truly enjoyable.

Beautiful place to visit. The weather was just right (early September), when my family and I went. Charleston,SC is such a charming place to see. I think it's a romantic place. Rainbow row is as beautiful as I've seen in other pictures. The area is a historic landmark. People running as they exercise and walking their doggies. You can smell the ocean water as you walk near the pier near by. Some parking around is free after a certain time in the day. There wasn't large crowds when I visited. The sunset was stunning! I highly recommend to visit.

Very pretty if you like peeking at people's private homes... lol in all honesty it was very cool to see and the window boxes were beautiful!

Its a nice walk in a beautiful city!!! I did loved Charleston, in particular the Rainbow row its not soecial, but worth to walt towards the sea, definetly a place to visit and enjoy

....EHH!!! LIKE I WAS WAITING FOR A PAINTED LADIES TYPE OF STREET, OR MAYBE SOMETHING BETTER,,, The paint on these homes were faded and the trees were all grown over...tighten up s. Carolina this is supposed to be a epic part of the city, and well ..ITS NOT GAVE It 3 because of the weather in that spot SHADY TREE!!!

Its pretty good, colors are neutral and cool, weather was really good on the day i went and all the places are walkable, has plenty picture spots and really good halloween decorations

It's beautiful but very hard to photograph because there are cars all along the street. Still a lovely vibe.

I loved this place. I came here to eat oysters, since I saw that they serve oysters on Google Maps. Unfortunately, they weren't serving them and I didn't see them in the menu. The plate I ordered was a rice with seafood, a great option and a huge portion, I couldn't finish it. I had a draft beer, which was not cold enough to my taste. My waitress was super nice and attentive. The view I had from here was amazing. There are options for sitting inside, outside, and some nice windows with air conditioning available too. This is a very decent place for having a meal. A little expensive but I think it's worth it. It the tables and windows were cleaner it would be great! The parking system could be a little confusing. My advice is: park, have in mind your plate number, don't scan or pay anything before entering the restaurant, when you are in the restaurant they will provide you with a QR code where you have to enter your info and give you 3 hours of free parking.

Best Shem Creek View! Beautiful waterfront spot with amazing food and laid-back vibes! I had the Western Smash Burger and the Grilled Salmon BLT Sandwich—both were absolutely delicious. The burger was juicy with bold flavors, and the salmon was perfectly grilled, paired with crispy bacon and fresh greens. Great service and a relaxing view made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Mount Pleasant!

Definitely the calmer side of Shem Creek but with great views! We ate on the deck and the view was lovely as the sun was going down. The tables were nice and spaced out so we didn't feel like we were sitting on top of other people. Prices are fair and our server was very attentive and friendly. Definitely great service! I had the Ghost Melon Margarita and it was pretty good but didn't really have much spice flavor. We shared the Lowcountry Sauté over grits, which was a good choice because we didn't get overly stuffed. It was cranky and the flavor was good, just no "wow factor" with our meal, hence the 4⭐. It was supposed to be in a bourbon butter sauce but I couldn't taste any bourbon flavor. I'd go back simply for the atmosphere. Lovely deck!

Went to Morris island and then came to this restaurant before we headed back home. Amazing restaurant. Great location, food and service. Perfect sunset dinner. Our server, Hayden, was very polite and helpful. We truly enjoyed our meals. The Jambalaya was amazing.

As part of our visit to Isle of Palms beach and Shem Creek we called into Vickery’s for early dinner. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating with great views of the creek with its busy eateries and bars, lots of boats and people. Service was super friendly, attentive and fast. I had Cuban Sandwich with a side of Carolina red rice (my new favourite side!) and my partner had a smash burger with bacon and cheese with seasoned fries. Food was tasty and hot, not quite amazing but very nice - price is pretty much in line with most similar-type of grill bars. The atmosphere was great - we ate pretty early so it was fairly quiet when we arrived but it soon filled up - it had a great vibe about it, customers and staff all smiles. Would definitely visit again - perhaps next time I would try some seafood options as there were some nice dishes on the menu.

We (2) had dinner here on a Saturday night. They seated us pretty quickly, we sat in a booth by the bar to watch the game. The two bar tenders (a blond haired girl and a dark haired girl with glasses) that waited on us were great! They were super nice and attentive. The food was delicious and came out pretty quickly also! We got buffalo wings, I had the mahi with loaded mashed potatoes instead of the Carolina red rice and my husband got the Alfredo with salmon.

We had an awesome time at Vickery's. Food and drinks were delicious. The views and atmosphere were relaxing. Our waitress was professional and kind. We will be back

Fantastic spot right on the water during sunset, (we even saw Dolphins!). We loved the Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Dynamite Shrimp, Crab & Artichoke Dip, and Fire Roasted Oysters appetizers. Out of the group of six of us, we all decided the Sweet Corn + Leek Ravioli entree was the best out of everything else we got. The swordfish was close second, but other than that, nothing compared. The only disappointing part of the experience was the rude service. Our server did not write anything down and we didn't notice/care about that until she brought out the wrong items multiple times. For example, someone in my party pointed at the appetizers section on the menu and ordered the fire-roasted oysters. Plain oysters came out instead from a server assistant, then once we told our waitress (30 seconds later and untouched), she proceeded to tell us we were wrong and that we did not say the fire-roasted oysters originally, and gave us an attitude. We are a very easygoing group, but we did not appreciate the change in her service once he addressed a few incorrect drinks and food swaps. However, the atmosphere and food still made this a great dinner spot!

The burger is the best item on the menu!!! Don't waste your time. Plenty of restaurants in the area to choose from. Don't let the location fool you. The service was awesome. The flatbed was soggy. The steak had a weird flavor and the temp we asked for was medium, came to the table rare. Tough!!! Let's just say, skip it.

TLDR: The only thing worth the price (during lunch) was thir amazing Dynamite shrimp. Cocktails weren't great, service is good. Expensive and TBH not worth the price during lunch (other than the FANTASTIC Dynamite shrimp appetizer). Perhaps it's better quality during dinner? The scenery is nice, as in the atmosphere being nice and close to the water. The view being blocked mostly by thick dark pieces of wood was disappointing when they could have easily replaced that with something thinner and sturdy, but all in all a good atmosphere. Service was great, the waiter frequently asked about if there was anything that he could get us and was kind. Two appetizers, two entrees, two drinks, $130 with 22% tip...

The filet mignon at Tavern and Table was incredible. It was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavor with a great peppery crust. The broccolini had just the right amount of char and added a really nice balance to the meal. The mashed potatoes were creamy, buttery, and honestly some of the best I have had in a while. Everything on the plate worked together and the meal felt simple, fresh, and really well prepared. The service was great and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely a five star dish and something I would come back for again.

Our late lunch here was very good. Nice beer selection, the ahi tuna poke bowls were delicious, the dolphin appearances were a bonus. Our service was just ok, unfortunately.

First time visiting. All I can say is AMAZING!! We were seated quickly inside by the window. Came during Sunday brunch. Atmosphere was very relaxing and chill. Our server, Milen Kostov from Bulgaria was on top of great service. He was very informative, knowledgeable,about the menu. We had the shrimp and grits which was savory, spicy and flavorful. And also the Smoked salmon on toast which was filling and delicious. A total 5 star! You won't be disappointed!

I came to eat here for the first time and was really looking forward to the experience. I ordered a dozen oysters on the half shell, the artichoke crab dip, and the Bolognese. The oysters were very fresh and delicious, easily the highlight of the meal. The artichoke crab dip was also surprisingly good. I wasn’t sure how those flavors would mix together, but it ended up being really tasty and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the Bolognese was where I was most let down. The sauce was very heavy and not what I expected. The pasta was also slightly undercooked, which made it less enjoyable overall. The person I was with and I split the entrée, and as shown in the photo, there is a clear before and after comparison showing how little we ate before deciding to stop because neither of us liked it. The service was also disappointing. Our server greeted us, brought our drinks and food, and later brought the check, but there was no real engagement beyond that. He never came back to check if we liked our food, which would have been helpful with the Bolognese since we would have gladly tried something else had we been checked on. The plate sat in front of us for about 20 minutes untouched before the server returned to ask if we were finished. We let him know we didn’t like the dish, but instead of asking what was wrong, offering something different, or trying to make it right, he simply said “okay” and took the plate away. When the check came, I was surprised to see that the Bolognese was still included on the bill, even though we had barely touched it and clearly expressed that we didn’t like it. As someone who also works as a server, I know how important it is to show care for the guest’s experience and at least attempt to make it right. It was disappointing to see that kind of service here. Overall, I was pleased with the oysters, the dip, and the drinks, but the main course and service experience were not up to the standard I expected. I’m sharing this in a constructive way, not to be malicious, and have chosen not to include the server’s name out of respect. I hope this feedback helps the restaurant improve, because the food that was good was really good, and the place has potential to offer a great overall dining experience with a bit more attention to detail and guest care.

We went with my husband’s family on a Sunday, just trying to find something to do on a rainy day. I saw in the comments that it was free—turns out, nope! It’s actually $14 a person. That said, the place is super pretty, really well kept, and bigger than I expected. The art is awesome—lots of pieces inspired by Charleston’s landscape and vibe, which I loved. Honestly, the price isn’t bad. If you’re into art, it’s definitely worth checking out!

Really beautiful building with a wonderful permanent collection. The current rotating exhibition was on Harriet Tubman and was exceptionally well done. It was a nice combination of 2D art, video, and sculpture/artifact. We went during the Wednesday late hours (5-8pm) with free admission but I think it would have been well worth the $15 per person admission.

The museum itself is nice, but there were no profound or super notable pieces in their curation. Definitely not top of my list for things to do in Charleston. If you skip this one, that is so fine.

The museum only has 3 floors and is relatively small compared to other museums. Their art collection was definitely worth the visit. And I'm glad I took the time to go check it out.

We didn't get to see all of the museum's displayed works do to time constraints but found waht we did see was really cool! If you appreciate art, you'll really like this place! Classes and special events, both public and private, are also held there! Great addition to anyone touring around Charleston, SC!

I didn’t expect much when I went, but there was so much to see and it turned out to be really interesting!

Really enjoyed the exhibition on Harriet Tubman. Definitely worth a visit, even for the casual art admirer.

I loved the beer here and can't wait for Key Lime Pi to come back out in March. The white Thai was really good, and I liked the beer to drink when it's hot outside. The actual taproom wasn't that big.

Love this spot. The rice crispy beer was my favorite

Absolutely loved this place! We came from Florence SC just to try it in person and were not disappointed. Got a flight and the maple bourbon beer, which pro tip from Katie at Westbrook, getting the full bourbon beer is $7, flight $15, but if you get a flight with an aged beer is $22, so you might as well get a flight and a full pour aged beer! My favorites were the banana shake IPA and the 4claw IPA. Spicy nachos also incredible, surprisingly a bit sour. Only downside was a closing time of 8pm on a Friday and closing at 6pm on Saturday

This is a little place which offers outdoor tables. The bartenders were not very attentive and the pregnant bartender was drinking beer behind the bar, which seems to be a normal at breweries. But shes pregnant and that made me want to drink fast and leave. I was not happy that the accessible parking was blocked off for tables. The key Lime gose was refreshing as was the 3 claw.

Excellent beers on draft and to go, friendly & knowledgeable bartenders, and good atmosphere. Brandon and Katie were helpful and personable. Wish I could've had a tour, but they didn't have enough staff. Check out the cellar list for some blasts from the past.

This place was, meh. I have been to many breweries and would probably never return here. The taproom was big, but did not have a lot of seating. The beer was pretty forgettable too. We were happy that they had patio seating, but it was also pretty limited. They had a line for orders, so that sped up the process a bit.

Great beers. They’re edging pastry but it’s still solid beer. Quite the compound you’ll with their heavy distribution. My wife said their women’s restroom could use a touch up.

Cute water park for kids. One big slide for 48" and above and the rest is little kid friendly. The staff was friendly and I was very impressed by the lifeguards. They were active, paying attention and in constant rotation and communication. I would say the concrete was extremely hot. I've never encountered a water park that you weren't able to walk on within reason even with excessive heat. This is dangerous especially for little kids. This was the only reason it didnt get a 5 star.

I encourage you to get there when it opens at 10am to enjoy it before things get crowded (around 11:30ish). My 5 and 3 year old had a lot of fun! The lifeguards were great.

The waterpark was way more fun expected are six and eight-year-olds had a blast on the waterslide and the splash park and getting goodies from the concession stand

Not too crowded. We were there in the morning and there is plenty of shade. This is a great place for smaller kids maybe up to age 10. I thought it was clean with plenty of life guards.

Splash island is JOKE! Don’t waste your time or money. The bathrooms were awful. They have about 12 lifeguards on staff walking around a splash pad with recuse tubes pretending like someone might drown in ankle deep water. With all those people, apparently they have no one to clean a bathroom. There is no lazy river. They have one “big slide” that is incredibly slow. However you have to be 48” tall to ride it. The problem is that if you actually have a kid that’s 48” tall, well that’s the ONLY thing for them to do. Everything else is pretty much for small kids. My 7 year old was too big for all the baby stuff, but 1” too short for the “big” slide. I questioned them if I could go down the slide with her and they said no. Then I watched their summer camp kids who were 6” shorter than my child go down the slide. Also I should mention, half of the summer camp kids had on life jackets because they couldn’t swim. The slide empties into maybe 3 1/2’ of water. My child was a much better swimmer than any of the other kids going down the big slide. So mad, we left the park after maybe 15 minutes. Called the park managers and the girl was extremely rude and unhelpful in resolving the situation. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS DUMP OF A PLACE.

This could be a really great little waterpark but needs a little work. First, they need a better more efficient process for cleaning the pool when there is a "UFO"- it would shut both pools down for ~45 mins. Second, the staff needs a little more supervision. The staff is almost exclusively high schoolers, and the food from the concession stand took over 30 mins and was cold. My kids still had fun.

This us a great place to cool off with your kids. Lots of water play areas, fountains, and a really cool water slide. The lifeguards there are constantly watching the kids. One kid started struggling staying above water while we were there and the lifeguard jumped into action very quickly. I was impressed. Not expensive and we could have stayed there all day. Definitely worth checking out!

This nostalgic gem is a must see on any visit to Charleston.

Good food-service-sticky tables

The captain was extremely nice and so were the crew! It was a beautiful experience and we saw dolphins eve before we started. Such a pleasant little cruise that also has a little snack and drink shop you can purchase beverages and such. One of the crew carried my walker down when we disembarked. I was so appreciative. 10\10 recommend!!!

We enjoyed our time on board the Carolina Bell. It was the first harbor cruise for us. Two things, 1. it's not a dinner cruise but does offer adult beverages and regular drinks, popcorn, chips and pretzels. 2. Children were allowed to leave parents and move around the top deck of the boat which, for me personally, was unsettling. Some of the parents were drinking. I didn't notice anyone carding to serve adult drinks so there's that, (and then, people leaving the boat after drinking, were getting into cars to drive wherever next). I immensely enjoyed the history. Capt Tom, was very good and delivered the tour history with a quirkiness that was delightful. You need to experience this, but call ahead to book (Mr Steve will call back) and check on time that suits you. We got same day seats but that may have been grace for us, the boat was full. Arrive early and move to front of boat, if you can, for view of all the sites. Our tour was 5:30-7:00. Loading and docking, unloading takes some time too. Trip itself is about 55 min

I took the sunset cruise and had a great time! The guide was fun and engaging while pointing out the sights. I appreciated the bar on board and the service. I even saw a dolphin just off the boat when we were still at the dock!

What an amazing experience! The boat was absolutely beautiful. The ride was so smooth and enjoyable. The staff was great. Captain Dan was awesome! This was really just an incredible time to relax and enjoy the bay!

Captain Ron took us back in History on this boat tour! He was knowledgeable and funny! Great "Dad jokes" had me laughing! The views were Amazing, the sunset was even more Amazing! Highly recommend booking this tour on The Carolina Belle 💜

A fun trip on and old’ish boat. A good narration by the captain, although some of the bar crew could be a little more accommodating - this is a service industry after all. All in all, a nice trip around the estuary. Purchasing a ticket at the boat entrance seemed a little tricky with the ticket seller had issues with the app and I-pad being used.

Open top deck with chairs. Below deck is enclosed and climate controlled. The captain did a great job narrating the ride however it was very difficult to hear him while sitting on the top deck due to other people talking. One other guest was smoking a cigarette which was frustrating. Overheard that one of the employees gave away a free ticket and that person continued to talk the entire ride. Was there the Samantha or Melissa employee. Overall not worth the ticket price for the experience.

Lovely historical park at the view bottom of Charleston harbour. Only think which was a bit of a shame was that there was construction work going on at the time.

The Battery is a wonderful place to take a walk, offering scenic views of the water and the bustling shipyard.

Great place for a walk or run along the wall. Peaceful to stand and watch the boats going by. This seawall acts as a defense against storm surges and high tides, an increasingly important function due to rising sea levels. Parking was easy and free when we were passing through.

Excellent spot to experience an unobstructed view the sunrise if you’re staying in the downtown area. The area is lovely and very well maintained. They are doing some construction but it’s not hindering the experience. You can also walk by Rainbow Row and right down to Market Street. Lovely neighborhood and such pleasant people. Everyone is super friendly in Charleston!

Beautiful historic part of Charleston with picturesque views of the harbor. There is construction going on currently but the park and it's majestic oak trees is still worth a visit.

It would have been a more pleasant visit but there was some construction going on in the area.

Nice running spot in downtown Charleston! Make sure to wear sunscreen because you will get blasted by the sun if you run down the path by the water!

My wife and I played this course on April 30th. Starting with the fact that I play 135 to 150 rounds a year and last year alone I played in 8 different states, I feel qualified to give a prepared and knowledgeable opinion. This course had the worst conditions of any course I've played in many years, maybe ever. Let's start with the driving range where the balls looked like they had been dug up, like potatoes ( a filthy Pinnacle is an ugly sight) ...on the range there was NO grass, NONE ! As much as I don't like mats , they would have been a welcome sight. My skeletal system would have thanked me . What I didn't realize at the time, was that practicing hitting hardpan shots was perfect for my upcoming round. The fairways and rough had almost no grass as well. On a scale of 1-10, I would give the fairways a 2 at best . the rough would get a better score of maybe 4. The greens were actually the bright spot if you found yourself on the part that had not been "patched". They still had many bare spots but at least they were flat. If this were my course , I would close it to the public until I could get it back in the shape it needs to be in to charge money to play. In fact the members have to be embarrassed that people see their home course this way . Next time someone tells me they are a member there, I will pass along my condolences. Now the money . At over $100.00 dollars , this is ridiculous . Less than $50.00 is too much for what they are offering up. Some people .... like me ... look at the rates and factor them in to the decision of whether to play a course. If it's not at a certain price point I don't want to play it. At $ 100.00 and up , you have my attention, higher expectations, and I become very interested in playing there . Here it is not the case. I wish I had asked for my money back after I saw the driving range and practice putting green. The options in and around Charleston give golfers options . Though tee times can get tight I recommend looking elsewhere.

Course is in terrible condition. Had buddies come to town to play a few rounds so I booked RT… what happened to this course?? Fairways are bare, the greens are the worse I’ve seen in a long time.. patchy, bumpy and like putting on cement. Sorry RT but if anything you should lower ur price while the course is in this condition..

This USED to be my favorite course in Charleston - to say it has gone downhill is an understatement- now I played today, August 6 I knew that they had been working on the greens. The greens were actually not in bad shape but the fairways, it was like playing in a hayfield. Not only that but several holes had so much water on them you couldn’t walk through it much less hit a ball out of it. Then the cart girl missed hitting me head on by about 2 feet cause she was too busy trolling TikTok. When the course is that unplayable you shouldn’t open. Tell people it’s gonna be a few days let it dry out, mow it. Take care of it. But the $80 I paid to play it today was Highway robbery- I’ll stick to Tidewater -

The course was in horrible condition, not worth 113$ big mistake. I told the guy no need clean the dust off my clubs. Greens were very patchy. Big disappointment. No one bother to mention terrible conditions don't waste your money.

I played Sunday, April 13th and the course is in terrible condition. I have been playing this course since 2007, and its, by far, in the worse condition I have seen. The fairways are bare and really tight and the greens are patched and bumpy. Lots of thinned wedges over the green due tight, muddy, lies with no grass. Greens are pitiful. They are charging a reduced rate now and I see why. Munnie is in better shape.

Played here mid-April. Course was in good condition in spite of an extremely dry spring. The couse has a great layout which is challenging, but yet fair and playable. Look forward playing here again.

Poorly maintained. Plays like a below average muni, shouldn’t have country club in the name. Immediately backed up a full hole by the second hole, then washed out with rain. If it rains for more than 10 minutes, the greens are toast. Feel that the course should be a bit more forthcoming with rain check policy if it’s credit and not refund.

Our national park ranger was amazing. We were there for the taking down of the flag, which was a cool thing to see, especially with a flag the size of the storm flag on the fort. The ferry ride was nice too. Plenty of places to sit in the shade and still see all around.

Well worth it. The guides were very passionate about history and getting out on the water to see the fort and surrounding islands was super cool! Price was right. We also saw dolphins on our journey. There is no bathroom on the fort so make sure you use it while on the ferry. Also a museum and gift shop.

I recommend calling ahead to make sure there is no school group booked when you are planning to go because they may be very loud and unruly (at least it was in my experience). Also, the ranger cannot give the regular tour speech and you will end up missing some interesting facts.

We visited this place by ferry and the volunteer was very nice and informative. They explained very well the history of the fort. In the fort you have old Canon and ammunition to see and also some unexploded bombs stuck in the walls (still there) of the fort. Once you are there, you can feel the emotions and spirit of the braves. Highly recommend

Awesome place to visit when you are in Charleston area. Rice history and great collection of stories, war artifacts in the museum. Scenic ferry ride and great view from the Fort.

Fort Sumter was a great experience and would recommend to anyone interested in American History. Remember to book your ferry tickets in advance, I chose the ferry that left from Liberty Square since it had move available time slots. If you take the first ferry of the day you get to experience the flag raising ceremony at the Fort itself which was cool. When on the ferry to the Fort, if the day is nice I would recommend sitting on the upper deck it has the better views of the harbor.

We had a great time at Fort Sumter and on the ferry ride to and from the fort! The ferry ride is about 30 minutes each way and you get to spend an hour at the fort. The fort has a museum and a small gift shop. The park rangers are very knowledgeable and friendly. They will answer questions you may have and they ask you questions sometimes.

Wonderful home to tour - it was very well set up and the self guided audio tour was perfect for me (they have guided tours too). The app comes with a city guide that I wish I had earlier in my trip. It also has AC which was much appreciated in the 100 degree humid day I visited.

An 1808 mansion built with the assistance of enslaved labor for a family who traded in slaves, rice and cotton. The oval staircase to all 3 levels is impressive though it is no longer usable. The carpenters constructing an upstairs curved room in Charleston's high heat and humidity really earned their um, their...

Very nice house. Sad that everything this family had was because of their implication in slavery. - cool self guided audio tour to walk us through the house - very interesting fun facts - beautiful garden!

Very cool historic house. I really enjoyed the self guided audio tour, after the main blurb about the spot you’re in, you could choose to listen to a bunch of extras or not! I like having the choice. Crazy to me that the doors were painted to look exactly like mahogany, but are just regular wood even though the family had enough money for the real thing 🤣 Lots of interesting facts about this place and all the workers were very sweet.

This is a beautifully restored 1808 Neoclassical mansion in Charleston. It is a jewel box with wonderful wallpaper, curtains, funishings, table settings, the works. It is not to be missed by locals or tourists.

This was my first tour of this kind. The gardens are beautiful. The restoration is nicely done, and we admired the carpentry and details. A round room with rounded doors is certainly something to appreciate. The staircase is a thing of art as well. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very patient in answering our questions and giving us time to view each space. Honestly, it was a tough experience, but I'm glad we visited.

What a beautiful place. Staff were so kind & friendly. Learned a lot & best of all handicapped accessible.

The Charleston Museum is a good diversion on a hot, humid summer day as it is air conditioned inside. It’s not the Met, British Museum or the Louvre, but the collections that it does have are unique. Plan to spend about two hours or more if looking at and reading everything. There is a small gift shop near the ticket counter in the lobby of the museum but there is no food service. Restrooms are available on the first and second floors. Likewise, the entire museum is wheelchair friendly as there are ramps to entire the museum and elevators to reach the second floor.

Great small museum. It's the oldest in the country, which is very interesting. They had a good collection of clothing which I really enjoyed and a children's area which was really cool, including colonial clothing for kids to try. Loved it!

This place is incredible. My family (2 adults, 2 kids aged 6 and 4) spent 10:30-after 1 exploring the museum. It was quiet and we were able to explore at our own pace. The kids' sections (both Kidstory and the hands-on natural history section) were incredible and we had to literally pull our kids away from this spot so we could eat lunch at a reasonable hour. There is so much to explore here and so much to learn. I highly recommend!

Exploring Charleston's rich history has been an incredible journey! We’ve truly enjoyed exploring this beautiful, historic town, discovering its captivating stories and breathtaking architecture.

Pretty cool spot to see some locks history. Fairly priced. Can probably view the entire museum in an hour or so. Worth checking out if you are looking for something to do

If it wasn’t for the “free” museum tickets from our hotel we wouldn’t have came to this place. So thank you to the hotel. The staff were helpful and kind. The exhibits are upstairs and it took about 90 mintues to go through! So much history and it was fun to explore all of it. Recommend if you come to visit

What a splendid museum! A wonderful physical facility, loads of excellently curated artifacts, thoughtful sensitivity to the city’s history with Native and enslaved people, and a terrific area for kids. As an old goat, I particularly appreciated the use of complimentary portable folding seats to carry around for when the knee of back wears out and one is between benches. How thoughtful!

East Bay St. will turn into East Battery Street where you’ll find one of the first mansions showing the typical Charleston Single House: a long rectangular shape with a narrow front towards the street, adapting to the shape of the lot. Located in a favored spot on the High Battery, it's one of the sea wall's oldest residences dating to 1825. Charles Alston, a wealthy Lowcountry rice planter, acquired the home and updated its architecture in Greek Revival style. Today, the well-preserved property remains in the Alston family. Visitors can see this blend of design styles in the home's public rooms and outdoor piazzas . Its architectural details, waterfront location, and knowledgeable docents who shared insights into 19th-century life for both the families and enslaved in Charleston It also has an original copy of the Ordinance of Secession.

Beautiful house and property. We visited with tickets for Wine On The Piazza. The team here really know the property well and while there isn’t a guided tour during the event, they happily answered questions. It was great to enjoy wine and charcuterie on the upper side porch with a view of the harbor. Would definitely recommend to locals and tourists.

Cool tour! We were just walking by and saw the signs and decided to go in. The staff were super nice and helpful. The next tour time was soon so we waited on the porch for a few minutes and chatted with the staff. The tour lasted about 30 minutes and was very detailed! The house has an interesting past and present!

Great history of the 2 families that have owned this house and still has a descendant living on the 3rf floor. Tour guide was knowledgeable.

Beautiful home with a rich history. We had a fantastic tour guide!

We took a tour of this great looking house while waiting for to go to the airport to catch our flight back to Dallas. It was short enough of a tour that my 10, 11, 12 y/o boys didn't get bored and informative and interesting enough to keep their attention. The book room was well stocked with lots of old books I could have stayed until longer if i could have opened any. The builder and owner was an old Presbyterian so I know there should be some books I would have liked to have.

We had a nice visit. Tours happen 15 after the hour and 15 before the hour. It lasted about 40 minutes. Enjoyed seeing the house, learning it's history, etc. It went at a good speed. Also a site for the filming of Outer Banks.

Another credit to our National park service for this historic site. Impeccably maintained, loads of history here and a very informative movie at the entrance building. I hadn't known much about Fort Moultrie until I took my time and read the displays at the welcome building. All very interesting, these are the things that make history come alive. Very helpful staff and knowledgeable tour guides. Thank you

Visited Fort Moultrie for the first time on a weekday right at 9am when they opened. We had the place to ourselves. The exhibits in the visitor center were nice. Restrooms can be accessed from the outside of the building and we're clean. Free parking, you pay inside the visitor center before crossing the street into the fort. Overall it was interesting and the views were great. Some parts definitely need attention maintenance wise. They also had a large amount of red wasps or hornets all around, likely from all the old wood. So be cautious if youre allergic. A guided tour would likely be a good idea if you want to get the most out of your trip, though we did not do one.

Great place to visit. Fort Moultrie is less frequented than Fort Sumter but it is definitely worth the trip. Very cool fort, bunker, museum, cannon row, etc to explore. Summer, one of the park rangers was very helpful and kind- thank you! She explained who Moultrie was (who the fort is named after) and how his victory led our country to be free!! You can get your National Park passes here which is super convenient. Also randomly happened to meet an Army veteran and military/ history buff and it was so neat to learn about everything from how they melted bread church bells in the south to make cannons to steel cannons up north, to the his own families ties to various wars and his British history and family roots in John’s Island! What a cool trip!!

Very nice national park with gave of Osceola adjacent. The park is an impressive layout of military defense that served well from the late 1700s when it was first built from Palmetto logs up into the 1800s when Ft Sumpter was built. I think appreciation of sites like this is improved when we imagine the men and women who had to endure the lifestyles and challenges of the time period. Definitely worth wandering through if you are in the area.

Amazing experience. There is interesting history this place has. It's located next to the beach. This was my first time coming here cause I was seeking somewhere to power walk. I drove by this place. It looked so interesting i had to stop. I ended up getting my power walk, seeing the outside historical wonders of this place and fishing. Three in one, can't get any better, then that!

Not a lot to see. Park for free. You are supposed to pay to see in fort. I went after to pay and after wandering around the visitors center and no one there I left. I do have my parks pass which they take so didn't steal from them.

Outstanding historical site. Guided tour on the boat by NPS rangers. Free time in the fort. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this Gem of a place. If you love sitting outside with a view of the water and boats passing, this is a must visit. The special cocktail 🍹, the seafood appetizer and meals were all A+. Can't say enough about the place and there is plenty of room out on the deck to set. The wait staff were friendly, checked on us several times and even brought my son's family dog water, a snack and scarf for her neck. 2 out of 10, they get a 14 !!!!

Great place to eat! Right on the water, great staff. The nachos look great-wish we had ordered them. The brussel sprouts were amazing. I had the creek bowl-filled with great stuff but lacking in flavor. The pulled pork and brisket tacos were really good.

The view and service was amazing! The drinks were great. The food was good. The trashcan nachos were a great presentation. The chips do tend to get soggy pretty quick. A suggestion would be to maybe have a little bit of the chips on the outside the can to have some solid chips. The brussel sprouts were my hands down favorite. The fried green tomatoes were well done & the sauce was a wonderful balance. The shrimp were perfectly cooked & the sauce had a great balance of spicy and sweet.

I recently enjoyed a fantastic dining experience with breathtaking views that perfectly complemented the meal. The service was impressively swift, even during busy hours, and the staff remained incredibly patient and attentive. I highly recommend the nachos—they're delicious and a must-try. However, I wouldn't recommend the calamari, as the rings were quite tiny and seemed overcooked, which affected the taste. On the other hand, the flounder was absolutely exquisite crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Overall, a delightful spot that I look forward to visiting again!

Great dog friendly restaurant. We were seared quickly even with a line, food was good, but service was a little slow. They were very busy though, so I cant complain. Staff was very inviting and they even have a "dog menu" not to mention the drinks and view were fantastic

Saltwater Cowboys is a great place for delicious food and great drinks. We really enjoyed our evening. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We sat outside, so we had a great view of the sunset. The brisket was really tender and tasty. If you're a sports fan, there are plenty of televisions at the outside bar. For yourself a favor and stop by today. You won't be disappointed.

Great find in Shem Creek on the water ! Love the vibe outside and food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the shrimp and grits, and the Coconut cake. It was huge and delicious. Not overly sweet! The brisket bowl lunch special was so yummy too ! Perfect spot for drinks and lunch in the sun !

Believe the hype. Ok. I know I am a little free and easy with the ratings. My wife tells me all the time. 5 stars is only for “ when nothing could possibly been better”. Well. We had an Old Fashioned. A wine. Two Manhattan's. The bread basket appetizer and the clams. All highly recommended. And nothing could have been better. Staff is very friendly and will tailor your mixed drink to your budget. You want a $15 dollar drink or a $50 one ? They got you. Will be very happy to come back. .

The menu contained a lot of high fatty foods and sugar which is ruining America's health. The quiche was too creamy and had an apple garnish that was too sweet. The apple tartness should be balanced with much less sugar. The grapefruit was Brulé but too much sugar on top again. The chef would do well to cut back on the sugar and the fat and offer something other than fried chicken on several of the entrées because it is making Americans fat and is very bad for the health. Perhaps they should be updated in nutrition. I know the chef is trying to create unusual food but it's just not working for some of us who are health conscious and want cleaner food, less sugar and less fat.

The food was phenomenal, definitely try the grit flight. Inventive dishes and southern classics, top notch service and such a cool atmosphere. Highly recommend you make reservations ahead of time. For three adults we spent $200 with tip- so pricey but the portions were massive- more than enough for two meals. This place would make an impressive first date or fancy date night out.

9/13/2025 decided to try this place for breakfast. The orange juice was $5 for a very small glass!!! That was not a good start. I know it's Charleston but that was a rip off. I ordered the flight of grits, two scrambled eggs and the sausage and gravy biscuit. The flight of grits was delicious! The grits with gouda cheese was my favorite. The pesto grits were interesting but tasty. The jalapeño grits were delicious, get them if you like spicy. I was disappointed in the biscuit with gravy. The biscuit needed to be split in half and it was too dry. The scrambled eggs were delicious! Some of the best I've had, one suggestion, don't salt the eggs let the customer salt them. They were on the verge of being too salty for my taste. I would definitely go back for the grits! We also got the Johnny cakes, they were interesting not my favorite. My girlfriend loved them though. Get bigger glasses for orange juice! You can see the small glass in the Johnny cakes pic.

Was looking for a place to have dinner my last night in Charleston. I was planning on going downtown but as I was staying in Patriot’s Point area, decided to see what was around. I came upon G&G on search, read the reviews and checked the menu. Looked good so decided to go. I’ve worked in the food and beverage industry for most of my life and managed casual to gourmet. This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time! The Fried Oysters Rockefeller app would have made a great meal on its own. It’s a dish you can’t describe, just have to try it. The quality and taste of all the ingredients were perfect! Could eat that every day… I intended to have a seafood night, but saw there was a Smoked Beef Rib on the menu. I haven’t had a good one since I was in Texas a couple years ago, so decided to try that at my server’s recommendation. Wow!! Another home run dish. Not only was it sizable, I didn’t need to use my knife as it was cooked to perfection, super tender and absolutely delicious. Once again, all the elements on the plate were perfect together. Unfortunately, there was no room for dessert. I had eyed the Coconut Cream Grit Brûlée had there been. I will have to wait until back in the area again to come dine here, but if you have the chance to do so, you will not be disappointed! Come with like 4 people so you can try different things. Also, you won’t need to deal with all the hassles of navigating downtown parking, crowds, etc. What a great find…

This is a breakfast restaurant with a whiskey bar vibe but family oriented at the same time. Great customer service with amazing food. We definitely over ate and over ordered.

If you like grits at all you must come here! But beware you may never cook grits the same again. The grits flight and oysters Rockefeller had me blown away! The the Golden Tile fish over butterbeans and cream corn was superb!

Everything about this place is great EXCEPT for the food! The drinks are amazing, the staff is very friendly and courteous, but the food leaves much to be desired. I ordered a brisket and I felt as thou it was all fat! That’s was a major bummer, but I decided to keep it and not a big deal of it. Then the desert came and my banana pudding was FULL of whipped cream! I was so disappointed! They may as well rename that dish whipped cream with cookies! I ordered 2 of them too and at $9 bucks a piece I feel cheated! Check my photos for proof, it’s not just a top layer of whipped cream, it’s all the way throughout!

The atmosphere was nice, and the server was very hospitable. I can't remember his name, but he had dark hair and tall. As far as the food, the homemade sausage had a great taste, but rather tough. Perhaps over smoked? The pork belly was "ok" as it is claed smoked, but didn't taste the smoke. Thier Jalapeño BBQ sauce really lifted the lack of individual taste. The corn pudding was a bit dried out, but pallette with a great taste. The brisket beans were a lovely compliment to the meat. I also ordered the 4 side plate. I ordered the hash and rice, mac and cheese, Cole slaw and grits. The Mac tasted good to me, as well as the grits. Im glad they dont use instant grits, or if they did, then those "quick" grits are good. The coleslaw was flavorful but a bit too wet, yet good. The hash and rice were not pleasing at all, so the replacement was the potato salad. The potato salad is more of a sour cream base....I really liked it. The pork rind nachos were very tasty with the pulled pork and honey Tabasco, jalapeños, and queso drizzle and BBQ sauce. The only downside with those are, if you dont eat the quick enough, they are soggy and chewy. The queso set up so quickly as we were sat under the ac that I had to ask for more. BUT VERY tasty! I ordered a bag of pork rinds to go and they gave you a good bit for 7.00. The total bill for two 2 meat plates, 4 side plate, pork rind nachos, a bag of pork rinds, and two waters were $86 and some change. Wasn't a bad visit! We visited on the 14th of June around 5:30.

Great Pit Stop 🏁 on the way back to Beaufort! 🏝️ The staff were accommodating and friendly - The food was absolutely delicious 🥩🐖! They have a GF 🌾🚫 menu with plenty of options - Great drink 🍷 options as well - Outstanding value! 🧾 We’ll be back soon! Dog 🐶 Friendly Porch :)

It was my first time at this place as a customer yesterday because I wanted to try something different. The waiter was quick to give me a water to start off with. I ordered the Biscuit grilled cheese with Mac and cheese on the side. When it came down I can smell it burned . I saw it had a pickle which I personally like because it looked like a regular one but it was so spicy. I know I didn’t ask if it was spicy and the reason for that because on the menu I didn’t see fire on the menu saying it’s spicy. But, the waiter should have gave me that the pickles were spicy. If he would have voluntarily said it was I would’ve said no pickles that are spicy just the regular ones if they have them. On the bright side the meat was good and the Mac and cheese. I should have taken it back but I didn’t I was just starving and I didn’t want any of the Chiefs to spit on my food because some people do that for complaining. Yet the reviews I saw online was mostly positive. After a couple of hours I felt absolutely miserable from eating it . Yet I like never complain about restaurants. But this definitely has to be addressed,

The family platter was mid at best. I would compare it to cafeteria-style seasoning. The Pulled pork is dry and flavorless. Some of the cuts were mostly fat. $150 down the drain. Would never order from here again. There are so many better options.

We ascended to a new realm during our dinner here. I am not exaggerating when I say that my fiancé and I started tearing up while eating. Our server Jasmine went absolutely above and beyond with 10/10 recommendations, she is an absolute gem. The food is just as incredible as it looks, and the sauces are *chef’s kiss* you can’t go wrong here. 1000/10 thank you for changing our lives. Xoxo love you Jasmine

Stopped in for food during a weekend trip to Charleston and wasn’t disappointed! The pork rind nachos are definitely different but SO GOOD! We ordered the dry rub wings as an appetizer, as well, and they were also great. Decent size and seasoned perfectly. For entrees we ordered brisket, pulled pork, and smoked chicken with collard greens, baked beans, potato salad and corn pudding. The meat literally melted in your mouth. The sides tasted like someone’s grandma is in the back cooking them up from her family recipe book. I could honestly just eat a platter of the corn pudding by itself 😅 Very reasonable pricing and a cute space. Parking can be a little tight but trust me, it’s worth it.

We visited from out of town and my 3 year old had a blast! There was so much to do there even with it being pretty busy. There was an indoor and outdoor area which was really nice. There were constantly workers coming through and cleaning up and organizing toys. We were able to park our stroller on the side while he ran loose. It was such a fun experience and highly recommend!

Great place to let the kids explore and learn. You may have some of these small toys at home but kids will watch and learn how to play them differently with the exposure of other children around them, one of the key thing to let kids grow in the real life environment. There is a work bench where they provided hammer, nails, screws and screw drivers for older kids to try their hands on the basic manual tools, with some safety gears available to use. Outdoor playing area is huge and lots of different activities to do for kids.

This is an excellent day activity for children, in a well appointed building. It is not the same size of major city children’s museums so I would suggest planning for maybe 2-3 hours but not an all day event. For two adults and 1 child it was $45, which seems about average.

A little worse for wear with broken devices, scuffed surfaces, battered toys, unorganized puzzles, and an unappealing outdoor space - especially on a hot day. It feels less like a museum and more like a glorified playroom. Nonetheless, our toddlers enjoyed it. But the price is steep if you’re visiting as a family. Might be worth it if you are a local and have an annual membership.

Great place for children! My one year old enjoyed herself! The best part in my opinion was when they called bubbles and all the “older” kids went outside. My daughter was able to have more space to explore without as much chaos. There isn’t much space in the building. In my opinion I do wish it was bigger.. For the price, I honestly wish it was a little cheaper… as it is for children mostly…

We came here with our 6 and 3 year old daughters and they both had a blast here! It's not a huge place, but there's plenty to keep kids entertained including multiple indoor play areas, an art area, and some outdoor activities as well. Our kids had a blast going between the different sections over and over. Prices were a little high, but you should be able to get a few hours of entertainment out of this place. Overall, I recommend checking out this museum for anyone with younger kids.

Decent museum. It worked for the purpose of escaping some pretty intense heat and keeping our son occupied. A few of the rooms felt half-baked, especially the room whose theme was 'broken attractions'. Grocery store room was fun but would become a chaotic mess whenever the volunteers would leave the room. Imagination room was OK too but we felt was only really interesting to a narrow range of kids. This left the under 3 room, the recycled art room, which was fun, and the fish restaurant room, which was good for a laugh. Actually, the spot we enjoyed most was the sensory closet. More like this! Keep in mind that this is $15 per body. If we did this again, maybe Mom could go shopping while Dad watches the kid(s).

Always clean and plenty of areas to park. They do a great job on the flowers. Live music on my way to the movies. You want. An easy spot to park on. Use the garage

Great place for breakfast! Service was great and Kelly, our server, was the best. Definitely recommend coming here and will be back when come to Mt. Pleasant. We tried the blueberry cornbread with lemon butter-highly recommend!!!

Was not too bad but not a great selection of unique shops. All the basics you can get just about everywhere. Not a bad place to just enjoy the weather and walk around but the shopping was a letdown

Great shopping center very close to both Charleston, Mount pleasant, and isle of palms. Great selection of retail stores, a movie theater, and plenty of 🌮🌭🍔 restaurants. It is definitely a walkable shopping experience with plenty of ♿ wheelchair accessible parking and entrances.

Convenient, Reasonable, Organized and clean where our family take a quick rest after a long working week. We especially like the ideas of shopping, dining and watching the newest movie.

Great shopping area with good selection of stores. Great landscaping. Palmetto Moon is our favorite stop here.

I am well impressed, it is a huge mall is like other city into Charleston! A lot of variety of stores and products: food, gas station, bank, clothe, beauty, perfum, library, house,ice cream, pub (bar) ...and I didn't see it but there is a cinema too. I walked during one hour and I can barely watched part of this beautiful and colorful mall.

Our national park ranger was amazing. We were there for the taking down of the flag, which was a cool thing to see, especially with a flag the size of the storm flag on the fort. The ferry ride was nice too. Plenty of places to sit in the shade and still see all around.

Well worth it. The guides were very passionate about history and getting out on the water to see the fort and surrounding islands was super cool! Price was right. We also saw dolphins on our journey. There is no bathroom on the fort so make sure you use it while on the ferry. Also a museum and gift shop.

I recommend calling ahead to make sure there is no school group booked when you are planning to go because they may be very loud and unruly (at least it was in my experience). Also, the ranger cannot give the regular tour speech and you will end up missing some interesting facts.

We visited this place by ferry and the volunteer was very nice and informative. They explained very well the history of the fort. In the fort you have old Canon and ammunition to see and also some unexploded bombs stuck in the walls (still there) of the fort. Once you are there, you can feel the emotions and spirit of the braves. Highly recommend

Awesome place to visit when you are in Charleston area. Rice history and great collection of stories, war artifacts in the museum. Scenic ferry ride and great view from the Fort.

Fort Sumter was a great experience and would recommend to anyone interested in American History. Remember to book your ferry tickets in advance, I chose the ferry that left from Liberty Square since it had move available time slots. If you take the first ferry of the day you get to experience the flag raising ceremony at the Fort itself which was cool. When on the ferry to the Fort, if the day is nice I would recommend sitting on the upper deck it has the better views of the harbor.

We had a great time at Fort Sumter and on the ferry ride to and from the fort! The ferry ride is about 30 minutes each way and you get to spend an hour at the fort. The fort has a museum and a small gift shop. The park rangers are very knowledgeable and friendly. They will answer questions you may have and they ask you questions sometimes.

Good spot for kids to burn some energy but expect to burn some cash! Plenty of parking and geared more towards school aged kids. My 2 and 4 year old weren't able to do as much as some of the 5+ year old kids. Paid $20+ on 3 small icees. Tickets for a 2 and 4 yr old were $35 and could jump for 1.5 hours which was enough time for them. Seating for parents to watch was limited. The staff was attentive to the areas in the jumping sections. Bathrooms were clean. Lockers avaliable. No coffee for parents and i did suggest they carry Celsius. Otherwise just soda and water. May go back or try a different place. Thanks!

Took my little cousins to have a fun evening jumping and rock climbing. Unfortunately, they did not have their air on for some reason and the girls were about to pass out from being so active without AC. Remember this is Charleston and July temperatures can be really high. For $82 dollars (2 tickets and 2 pairs of special socks), I would have expected a better experience.

Came for a birthday party-the entire staff were on their phones the whole time. Good thing I follow my daughter everywhere-because I’m not sure if she or someone else was hurt that any of the staff would notice. Though I should say the girl who checks us in and saves the party was extremely kind. But would j drop my kid off here-absolutely NOT.

Was in town for the day so my son could visit a friend. They had a ball. The price is not bad. The inside had a lot of areas including a same arcade. There were rooms used for birthday parties. We didn't pay for the all day pass but as it was not busy there played for 3 hours which was an hour past there time. If you're looking for a place to let your kids burn off some energy, this place will do it. We live about 2 1/2 hours from there and he slept for most of the ride home.

The park was amazing and my children had fun, but there was a team member I think who was named Violet that came up to us and asked us when we were leaving. I think that is far from professional and not something you should ask a customer.

Great place! Kids love it. Better to go in “off hours” for younger kids but overall a fun activity. Clean and well kept. The staff are really sweet with my young ones and when it’s not busy always make time to play with them. I think my kids love the staff more than the trampolines!

We had a great time here! We brought our students from School of Rock Mount Pleasant for an outing. Sky Zone did a great job working with us, and made sure we had a great time. I definitely recommend it!

Dude at the front was super nice and even gave me a price I could afford because I was short on cash. I was with a date too so he was real for that. We didn’t escape the room in time but the guy gave us like 2 extra minutes to figure it out, which no escape room business has ever done for me before. To summarize Elite Escape Games looks after you and makes sure you have a good experience. Shoutout to them. It is expensive though.

We did area 51 which was good and then the new one can't remember name I think " happy camper but supposedly scariest one. Loved that one. Lots of jump scares and puzzles were each different and required brain power and aiming skills.

We escaped Area 51! We do a lot of escape rooms so when we travel we are always looking for new ones. We liked this one a lot. Cool themes, creative rooms, and puzzles. It is also a bit cheaper than the others. Staff was friendly! Only a very short drive from the historical part of Charleston.

We did the Train derailment Saturday WOW !!!! Talk about working as a team . They break your party up in this game scenario so your in two different train compartments. All I can say is LOOK LOOK LOOK!!! Everything is clue sometimes it’s just in place to make ya think. I am also enclosing some picture of the ONLY ICE ROOM in the country ! The room is set at 4 degrees , you only have 30 minutes to escape this room . The Train derailment is in an hour. . So if you are looking for something different to do on vacation or resident this is it ! I would bring a small pocket flash light for the Train just to help you with the lighting .

Me and my husband had such a fun time going here! We did the dinosauria, chillers bone cabin, and undead outbreak! They were so so fun! I cannot wait to come back next year! Don’t forget us please! Yall are amazing workers!

Great facility. Friendly staff, very clear instructions and fun games for all ages. We had a family group of 21 ranging from 8 to 73yo and everyone has a lot of fun and was engaged. I definitely recommend it!

So fun!!! And makes your brain work. Definitely would recommend when you wanna try something new. I can confidently say I’m smarter than my bf now haha
