The house tour was very nice, the tram tour was not worth the price. More

We had read that you shouldn't miss visiting a plantation in the Charleston area and based on guide books and reviews, we decided upon Magnolia Plantation. They have a boat tour, tram tour, house tour, cabins tour, gardens, petting zoo, swamp garden and more. Our children are easily entertained and love those type of attractions. The tours, however, are strikingly... More

Amazing grounds but expensive with separate fee for house tour, nature tour, slavery presentation and swamp access. The swamp is amazing and accessible by raised boardwalk - bring your binoculars, birds galore, great blue herons, green herons, ibis, an egret rookery...... We did not do house tour as it is not original plantation home. Nature tour was good. Flowers were... More

A repeat vist- a new entrance road, but once there, the gardens and grounds remain beautiful. There's a petting zoo for children and adults. There's marked paths that allow you to take a wonderful walk through the gardens. Also took an optional boat ride on the plantation waterway to see some of the different birds and other even a few...
