The gardens are beautiful, can't imagine what they would look like in full bloom. House history is cool too. They have an encampment of american revolutionary soldiers there which was funny to see and listen to.

Owner description:
Middleton Place is an 18th century rice plantation and National Historic Landmark comprising 65 acres of America’s oldest landscaped Gardens, the Middleton Place House Museum and the Plantation Stableyards. The Gardens reflect the elegant symmetry of 17th century European design. Sculpted terraces, parterres, and reflection pools inhabited by swans are highlights of their intricate design. Rare camellias bloom in the winter, while vibrant azaleas blanket the hillside above the Rice Mill Pond in the spring.

I visited this plantation with my boyfriend on 5/7/12 shortly after touring magnolia gardens. This place was beautifully landscaped but more expensive than i thought it should be.

The ground were very scenic. All the staff were excellent. Only complaint would be about the carriage ride. A large portion of the grounds were closed due to flooding. The carriage tour was diverted from the outlined route to the stable area. We should have been told this prior to us purchasing the tickets.

This is a place to absorb the Ashcy river, once elegant lifestyle of the Middletons along with the rice paddies, alligators and slave quarters. The modern/ wood and concrete of the...

Middleton Place is set on some beautifully landscaped grounds. There are self-guided tours of the grounds, a guided garden walk, house tours and carriage rides. The base admission fee lets you walk anywhere on the grounds and take the garden walk. All other tours are extra. There is also the restaurant. Lunch is a 3 course, fixed price meal. The...

While it was a nice place, I didn't find the grounds to be that beautiful. I was hoping to see flowers and that wasn't the case. Well there were a few flowers but not enough in my opinion. If you are hoping to see lots of flowers this is not the time of year to go. Steep admission price, bring...

We only had a few hours to explore but it is well worth any time you can spend here. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is friendly and full of information about the plantation and life on a plantation.
