The drive to the ruins is lined by majestic moss covered oaks that arch over the roadway creating a spectacular entrance. There's a sign up asking that you not take any photos or walk in until you've paid the entrance fee ($10 per person). Pay the fee and take your picture. It's also a place couples choose for weddings.

Owner description:
A breathtaking live oak avenue leads visitors one mile down a colonial road to a vistor center, where they can watch short historical film, tour a museum, and browse a gift shop. A walking trail leads to the 1737 tabby ruins of the oldest remaining structure in the Savannah. Trails meander past scenic marsh views to the Colonial Life Area, where costumed interpreters provide living history demonstrations in the afternoons, weather permitting. Five more miles of nature trails are available for those who are more adventurous.

The whole shebang here is the driveway. It is absolutely stunning to drive down the mile and a half drive, but $10 per person seems a bit steep if that is all you want to do. If you want to hike up to the ruins or take a picnic it is probably worthwhile. We happily paid our $20 basically to...

A great addition to earning the history of how the Savannah colony was created. The oak alley is one of the longest ever, great photography.

The entrance is lovely. You can almost picture what life was like years ago for the family who entered the property down the long tree lined driveway. There is no home on the site, just the ruins. They have a short informational video to watch in the visitors center, which was very good. It gave you the history of the...

The entrance to Wormsloe is beautiful. Driving through the live oaks is breathtaking. The park also has a nice visitors center and interesting ruins of the original house and out buildings.

Wish there was more to see here. The 400+ 1.5 Mile treelined entrance is enough for a quick visit. Not much to see at the end, The old house and outbuilding are all but gone.
I would recommend eating at SandFly BBQ which is just a couple of blocks from Windsloe. Not the cleanest, but popular with the locals for...

We took a long walk around the Wormsloe Plantation and loved it. Very informative, a stunning setting and a very good visitors' centre with a small museum & an informative film about the place. Adult admission was $10 which we felt was very good value - we shall be returning!

The drive into the historic site is breathtaking and worth the small entrance fee. The movie for orientation was good and strolling this site was pleasant, relaxing and worth a return visit. Bring a picnic lunch, there is a small picnic grove.

The 1.5 mile driveway is lined with majestic live oaks and is worth the stop alone. We skipped the tour since we were in a hurry and didn't want to wait for the next one. We walked the grounds ourselves. There was plenty of shade to make it a comfortable walk, but nothing fabulous to see besides driveway. We might...
