    This market has a big variety of crafters and artisans and a few food and drink stalls. The prices are not different from the city shops. Charleston is hot and always humid and the market only has air conditioning in the first building.

    What a beautiful house. It was brought back to its original state and is stunning. The tour guides are great and know a lot about the family and the way they lived.

    What a great experience. Enjoyed the show plus we all had a part in it. Different from anything we have done in the past, but we will definitely go back again. A great night of entertainment at a reasonable price. You will not be disappointed.

    Interesting tour of a preserved historic house. I appreciated the audio tour included in admission. A few areas were closed during our tour due to an event.

    We went for the night time AcquaGlow Christmas experience and enjoyed it very much. It’s a smaller aquarium so I’m not sure it would impress as much if not for the extra holiday experience. One unique feature of this aquarium is the sea turtle rehab hospital. This was really cool and extremely educational.

    This is a typical regional museum, with exhibits on local history, natural history, etc. It is well laid out and the staff at the front desk were particularly friendly and helpful. It could have used a few more places to sit, especially where there was an interesting video to watch but no place to sit while watching it.

    Carol provided a lot of insights into how the dungeon had been used over time. The visual exhibits added to the information. For the Exchange, you did a self-guided tour. There were a lot of explanatory materials to provide details. The organization that runs the Exchange have done a good job with keeping up appearances. The tour was a little expensive.

    My husband and I have visited Charleston SC for years but had never visited the Cathedral of St John the Baptist. This recent trip we made, we decided to attend the Saturday Vigil Mass and were so impressed with how stunning and beautiful this cathedral is; we highly recommend visiting it if you’re in Charleston.

    My wife and I bought the joint Old Exchange/Old Slave Mart ticket. While a small museum, a lot of information was presented on the cruel sale of enslaved people. The market actually sold people until 1863.

    Sometimes, it's good to learn about the crueler parts of our history, so we can learn from our mistakes.

    Enjoyed our stop at the visitor center. Stopped in as our (bus) tour met here. Nice display, good resources and gift shop. Center has clean bathrooms and easy parking.

    Great and holy place to visit. Unfortunately, this picture is NOT of St. Michael's but the post office across the street.

    We absolutely love going into the Robert Lange Studio. Renewal of artwork on a regular basis makes each trip to the studio a new adventure. When you go, plan to spend some time there because you will want to go slowly to enjoy all aspects of the pieces on display.

    This studio allows us to meander our way through their works without interference from staff. It is nice to walk the floor without someone trying to sell something to us, making the experience that much more enjoyable.

    My daughter and I attended a show on our recent visit to Charleston. It was so much fun. As a teenager, she didn't totally relate to all the songs, but still admitted to having fun. Thank you to the team for such an enjoyable experience!
