I visited the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens on a wet Sunday in December. There were not too many visitors, so me and my friend had a great time learning a lot about the history and way of living in the south. The restaurated slaves' cabins were a wonderful and enriching experience and our tour guide, T.J., made our day. I... more

We visited the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens today -only about 15 minutes out of the city; nice drive and little traffic. 1. The house tour average, the tour guide did not provide the history of the plantation. Most of the information was about family not the history of a working plantation. 2. We loved the gardens; they are extensive and... more

We've gone to Charleston about a dozen times, and each time the highlight has been going to the swamp at Middleton Plantation. We went when our 20-yr-old son was a baby, when our 2nd son was in a stroller (didn't work on the rickety boardwalk!), and when he was old enough to bring his field guides along to identify all... more

My husband and I were there today, Nov. 25th, and very little was in bloom. We could certainly see that it would be beautiful in the spring or summer, but we found it quite repetive with nothing in bloom and with no children, many of the sites were not for us. Also, we asked about whether there was much in... more

We spent $43 each at Magnolia Plantation to see all that it had to offer. (You can pay for each attraction separately.) We enjoyed the boat tour and the swamp walk tour the most because of all the wildlife we saw - alligators and all types of birds. This attraction is great for families because there is a petting zoo... more

The grounds and gardens are immaculate and really make you feel like you have gone back in time. The gardens are beautiful and by walking the garden tour you can really see what it would have like to have lived here when it was built. There are many hidden gardens, with decorative statues to draw you in. The garden tour... more

This is a very good attraction for people who enjoy horticulture and nature photography. We started off with the Audubon Swamp Garden boardwalk trail which takes you through the unique green swamp. At one point on the trail, a marker pointed to the old slave cabins and we were able to take a detour and look around the inside of... more

The Slave Cabin and House tours were well worth the extra money and both tour guides were VERY knowledgable. Our Slave Cabin tour guide, DJ Tucker, was awesome! He was knowledable and passionate, and it was greatly appreciated. He focused on the culture, contributions, and history. The House tour focused mainly on the objects in the home and family history,... more

I visited Charleston in July with my family. While we were in town we went to several historic sites. The best by far was Magnolia Plantation and Gardens! We spent the day at this beautiful plantation on the Ashley River. We took the Nature Tram, the house tour and the "From Slavery to Freedom" tour. They were all very well... more
