Visiting the Tybee Island Lighthouse Museum was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The admission to the lighthouse permits you to climb the 178 steps to the top. The climb wasn't too bad and the view was well worth it. We earned a fantastic view of Tybee, the surrounding islands, Savannah in the distance and of course the... more

Wear your comfortable walking shoes and climb the 178 steps to the top of the Tybee Island Lighthouse. There is a resting area about every 25 steps so you can take your time going up and down because it is well worth the trip to the top. What an awesome view of the Atlantic Ocean, the entrance to the Savannah... more

I recently went to Tybee Island on vacation early fall 2009 and was very happy about our experience at the lighthouse. It was a beautiful structure that can be seen for miles around. We were greeted by friendly staff and then began our climb up the 178 steps. Although the climb was a little steep, we made it and decided... more

My husband and I love to see and climb lighthouses. This was our first trip to the Savannah area and we got to see three lighthouses so we were very impressed! The Lighthouse staff is very knowledgeable about its history and we enjoyed the museum very much. Lots of history there. Thanks for a great experience! more

We visited the lighthouse this past Sunday morning. Of course, it was Labor Day weekend, but this didn't deter us. We arrived just in time though, since a tour bus pulled up after us. While the light tower itself is pretty impressive and the views from the top were great, the maintained historical buildings on the site were neat and... more

The admission is pricey for what you get. The view from the lighthouse top is realy not to exciting since all you see is beach and rooftops. The museum wasn't really about anything, I'm surprised they even call it one. I think in any other city it would be a free park operated by the city's Parks & Recreation Department.... more

Took my family to see the lighthouse - the kids seemed to enjoy it but it was not going to hold their attention long. Luckily it was not very expensive and we got to learn a little more history of this particular lighthouse at the site. more

We wish we'd known there was a museum across the street included in the price of admission! We toured the lightkeepers' buildings (awesome to see period furniture and the attention to rennovation that the historical society did!), and we climbed the lighthouse...although most of us had to stop to catch our breath on the way up! The kind man who... more

We had to cut our visit here short, and regretted it, so I recommend you allow several hours to take advantage of all there is to see and do here. Be sure to park in the Tybee Island Historical Society Lighthouse museum lot- your $6 admission will cover parking, so that you can save the $3 parking fee charged across... more
