The National Park Service has done an incredible job maintaining and promoting this historic civil war site. Once inside the fort, the guide is a treasure trove of information revealing his passion for the fort's history as well as the war's history. Explore...walk the ramparts, take in the officers quarters, and imagine what it would've been like to be here during war time. I'm grateful for preservation sites like these which are tangible proof of the cost of our American freedom.

Mainly a self guided tour but there are rangers on site and give some education sessions. We did not attend but talked to several park rangers and they were very nice and could tell they loved their jobs. We also walked to view the light house. If you do this , take bug spray. I was attacked by mosquitos and have over 30 bites. My own fault.

We are so grateful that our friend (Judy) gave us the national parks pass book. We bought a Life Time membership to the national parks, and it’s been so fun learning the history of America. This has to be one of our favorite forts that we have visited. We met a local gentleman by the name of the Lowell that volunteers there and gave us some great information and showed us around, thank you, my friend. It is a must! it is so educational. We even met our new friends, Lowell and Susan. They were so excited that I asked about the camper and he showed me around. It is wonderful. We might have to buy one. I WOULD RECOMMEND

They have a nice visitors center to help you get oriented to the monument. A friendly ranger informed us that if we hustled to the fort, we could catch the talk by a park volunteer about the construction and history of the place. He gave a very informative and sometimes humorous lecture. Especially interesting if you like Civil War history. Afterwards we walked around for about an hour going up to the battlements where you can see a 360-degree view of the area. We saw a container ship enter the channel heading to Savannah harbor from up there. It was a nice place to take a few hours and learn a little history.

We are so happy we stumbled upon this fort during our trip to Savannah. We listened to a guide talk about the history of the fort and learned a lot. The fort was so well-preserved and it was really interesting that we could see actual battle damage. And, it has a moat! How cool is that?

The fort is fantastic. The Rangers tours were informative. The inside cannon loading and firing demonstration was great. There was a nice trail or two to walk out to the Cockspur Lighthouse. It was well worth the time and I went twice. You should see this historic monument

We enjoyed our visit to Fort Pulaski. The visitor centre had heaps of information including a detailed 20 minute video, about Fort Pulaski and its importance through the years. Ongoing restoration and maintenance means the site gives you a good sense of what it might have been like back in the day. The park ranger, Max, who led a ranger talk on our visit was eloquent, enthusiastic and involved the group in the story of the fort. Unfortunately, it started to rain when we planned to walk to see the Cockspur Lighthouse at the end of the island, so we missed that. The sheer size and engineering of the site and the fort was pretty impressive. We had a great couple of hours there.

Having visited Fort Sumter earlier on the same trip to the US our expectations of Fort Pulaski were low but this is a much better, larger and more scenic example of an nineteenth century American fort and has its own equally interesting civil war story. You could rush round in half an hour if you wanted to (or needed to) but we spent a couple of hours exploring the cavernous and fascinating interior. The jumping fish in the moat were a bonus! There is ( of course) a small gift shop on site. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful history, great information and lots to explore and learn! The whole family enjoyed this stop! Kids did the junior ranger tour and had a good time! National park passes of any type work here.

Fort Pulaski National Monument was amazing. Our experience going over the moat and into the fort so cool. We read all details throughout the fort and truly enjoyed learning about it. Rangers were very informative, friendly, helpful. Our dog was able to come with us on this tour.
