Magnolia Plantation & Gardens

If you do one thing while in Charles Town , visit the Magnolia Plantation . The train and boat tours were fascinating with guides that were clearly passionate about their subjects! And Peacocks ...

Be sure not to miss the swamp tour . Amazing wildlife and grounds. Even saw 2 gators . And if you see the caretaker working stop to ask him about what he is doing. Learned an amazing amount from him.

So beautiful! Make sure to plan a whole day here, because it really is that nice. We did the Nature train , tour of gardens , and spent a ton of time in the Nature center with the deer.

Loved this place. Full of history. Took the nature train . Also have a slavery tour that is renowned. Lovely grounds. Don’t miss the Romantic period Garden .

Had a great time. Walked around, took pictures, took the trolley tour , and pet the animals in the zoo . Overall awesome. Packages could be created to save a little money.

The most beautiful place in Charleston! Make sure to do the train tour . Not too expensive , but early in the morning, I like to take a walk early in the morning.

I loved this place. Going to have to have another visit. So much to see & do. Too much for 1 day. Do the train your first.

Magnolia is beautiful, but it occurred to my group that you don't have to pay for most of the attractions . There are alternative paths to literally everything. Btw, Dick was an awesome boat guide!!

Get the Groupon. Worth a few hours to walk around if you enjoy nature

Beautiful! Nature train was great, and worth the $8!

The house is absolutely beautiful and the gardens are amazing!! Make sure to watch out for the wildlife though.

Worth every penny. Nice bathrooms with AC . For better or worse make sure you keep your eyes peeled wild life is everywhere.

Awesome gardens . Go on a cooler day otherwise it's going to be a really hot and sweaty walk. Make sure to bring the cameras because there is plenty of wildlife and flowers to take pictures of!

PEACOCKS, that’s all I have to say

The Cabin Tours are a must do on your visit here - very educational ; we opted for the boat tour rather than the Audubon Swamp Garden to get a quick, guided overview of the swampland

What a beautiful spot! Loved the gardens and our house tour guide Marj was excellent

Gorgeous grounds definitely a must see

Great trip through history. There's a basic fee to get in then there are separate fees for the house tour , cabin tour , tram ride, etc. We toured the house, gardens & zoo . It was fantastic.

Magnolia Gardens ' camellias bring in visitors every spring. It was owned by the same family as Drayton Hall. Read more

Magnolia Plantation and Gardens at 14 minutes to the north of Charleston Family Dentistry

Absolutely beautiful historic gardens and museum west of the Ashley. Definitely a must see when visiting Charleston. Off Ashley River Road (SC Hwy 61).

The map provided at the ticket counter isn't helpful. Just get lost and discover the gardens on your own. You never know what amazing views you'll find.

I love the scenery! It's beautiful!!

Did the House Tour and the Cabins Tour . Really enjoyed both! They leave at set times, so bring snacks and games if you have small children.

Check out the petting Zoo and beautiful grounds.

Great Place. Wonderful Wildlife . Bring a camera !

The map is not helpful but the guides and tours are amazing!!!

Stunning gardens . The nature and peace of the place makes you want to get lost in it, admire the beauty of its ancient trees as well as its wildlife .

Super cool! It's so amazing to see the plantation and the slave houses!!

Attended a wedding at the plantation. What beautiful venue!

Be sure to tour the entire Audubon Swamp Garden . We enjoyed it even more than the main grounds of the plantation. Amazing wildlife , great for photowalks!

Watch out for the gators in the swamp garden .

the zoo is really funny, and the train tour is fantastic!

Local easy to use and needs

Great pet friendly place to go for a walk.

They have wifi !

Be sure to tour the Audubon Swamp Garden . It is amazing. Don't miss the African American cemetery .

Love the old gardens and the house

Beautiful. We went with Charleston Tours . Don't miss the Nature Train ride!

Good to back

Watch out for alligators !! Unexpected surprise on my ride.

Beautiful place, definitely a fun time. The swamp is neat and the gardens are interesting.

Audubon Swamp-make sure to slowly wait to enter code in. If you mess up wait a minute.

Free admission for Vetean's Day on Sunday every year

Get here early if you want to see the gators on the swamp tour .

Beautiful place to get married. I had a fantastic March wedding at the Carriage House.

An Amazing place!!!!

Animals are fun and the grounds are pretty, but the tour of the house was disappointing. Our tour guide was miserable, like listening to a lecture about molecular biology from a cinder block.

Is it just me or does it seem like they're hiding the slave history of this place a bit...? If you don't want to pay extra for the slave hut tour you can see one yourself to the left of the snack shop
