We visited Ft. Pulaski on a Saturday, hoping to hear the cannons shot off. Possibly because of the nearby pirate festival on Tybee Island, there were not enough volunteers to shoot off cannons. We did get to hear a volunteer share interesting information about the fort and later, demonstrate the use of their guns along with a couple other volunteers.... more

Took my boys - preteen and teen to check it out before we left town. This was $3 very well spent! Boys loved the tunnels and looking out over the walls. They had a gun demonstration while we were there which the kids loved! They were also starting filming of The Conspirators there - too bad we didn't see Robert... more

We visited this fort as well as Fort Sumter. Its important to visit this first. This fort is similar in appearance to Fort Sumter, however this fort has been restored, where as Fort Sumter is a ruin. In using the word ruin, I do not mean it in a derogatory sense. Fort Sumter was bombarded heavily during the Civil War.... more

A must see if in the Tybee/Savannah area. My husband and I really enjoyed it, our 4 children did as well. Lots to see and learn about. We started out on the guided tour, but our two smaller children made that a little difficult, so we ventured out on our own. Our two older children definitely enjoyed the history of... more

My husband and I really enjoyed our time at Fort Pulaski. So much history! We enjoyed the demonstration of the civil war guns and listening to the stories of what life was like during the Civil War. We took many pictures, walked to the Lighthouse, and saw the resident Gator. I purchased a very interesting book in the gift shop... more

If you get a chance to wander away from Savannah or Tybee Island, definitely stop at Ft. Pulaski. A very interesting piece of our U.S. history. The NPS-Ranger guided tour was great, and the interpretive lecture given in the cell block area was very moving. We didn't get to observe the canon firing, but did get to see a live... more

Very informative and beautiful. Go see it on a day when they do cannon firing. Also take a stroll down the trail to see the lighthouse. more

Ft. Pulaski is a fun civil war fort with a museum and gift shop. There are cannons and real time quarters, ammo rooms, powderkegs, a jail, etc. There is also a long nature trail surrounding the island and picnic facilities. A mote surrounds the fort with an alligator living in it. So much to doand see there. more

My husband and I and our three boys ranging in age from 6 to 12 all thoroughly enjoyed Fort Pulaski. We arrived at 1:00 and left about 3:30, and I would say give yourself a good three hours to fully take in everything. We opted for the guided tour which started at 2:30, and we hiked to the lighthouse on... more
