Traveler reviews
Plantation home tour was interesting.
Tour was nice esp of the house. In July the gardens are not what I imagined. I expected beautiful flowers everywhere and they were only in the front. If visiting in the summer being big spray and a fan because it is very hot. The tram ride wasn’t much. A few birds and some well hidden alligators. I would skip it. Although it did go past the slave quarters but we couldn’t get out to look. It’s a long walk to see them once the tram returns to its start. House was interesting and a lot of historical information given. The guides are nice. There is a food stand available. The good thing was the bathrooms were air conditioned.
Magnolia
Beautiful place to explore and reflect.
Great tour of South Carolina’s plantation history.
Greg was helpful and a great narrator for the trip to Magnolia Plantation. We liked the variety of plantation and swamp components of the tour. The grounds were magnificent and we had a delicious lunch at the outdoor restaurant. Bring mosquito spray!!
Beautiful
Wonderful experience. Beautiful property. Hours there was well spent. Scott (our tour guide was a wealth of information). We did not have a chance to do the freedom walk or the river tour but we would love to return and do it. The day that we were there was saturated with mosquitoes. I recommend bringing some repellent or be prepared to pay about $10 to buy 3 oz at facility
Great trip
A good idea to bring bug spray, sun screen and water if it is warm out. You essentially are in a tropical environment it will be hotter and more humid than you think.
