Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site

Everything was great here! My kids are 18, 11, and 7 and they each enjoyed it. The animals were a favorite part. They were sluggish mid day when it was hot. Morning probably would be better.

They have on-site archaeological excavations & accept volunteers. Archaeology also helped inform some of the park design & recreations . There is a great museum in the visitors center.

I LOVE this place. I love the zoo , the trails , It's a wonderful, cheap thing to do on a great Saturday, pack a lunch and pick a spot on the grass and enjoy! AND you're in the middle of history.

Photo Tip: Be sure to visit The Adventure, a fully-functional replica of a trading vessel used during the time Charles Towne was founded.

Great education experience. be sure to walk on down to the boat and hear about it’s history. The captain will tell you all about it!

If you're a runner, they have numerous runs here. High probability of getting an age group award, usually unique awards too. And they have a great dinner afterwards.

The birthplace of Charleston. Where the Carolina colony was settled in 1670. The most historic place to visit in the area with the area’s only zoo .
