Definitely not the place for me! They have tons to do - tram around nature, the 'gator / swamp area', the gardens, the house etc. Pros: - Tons to do - if you like flora / fauna etc. you will love this place - great area to grab lunch (good variety) and sit at a table Cons: - Petting zoo... More

Beautiful home and fabulous gardens. Expensive to spend the day. House tour was lovely but you see only a couple of rooms.We stayed for 5 hours, so only place to lunch without leaving is their cafe which is adequate. Some of the tours (nature boat and nature train) cover the same territory and the same information, but are relaxing and... More

If you are a history buff, one must see is the tour of the slave cabins, which was led by an excellent tour guide named Tommy. In an hour you get a historical glimpse into the plight of the many who toiled here. One highlight of our trip was a chance meeting with the garden superintendent, Isaac, whose family lived... More

The splendor and charm of the Old South is here waiting to be seen. Don't skip this plantation tour if you are here. The gardens are beautiful and the nature tram is a nice touch to tour the wildlife areas. The mansion is a beautiful example of country life back before the "War of Northern Aggression". You will enjoy this... More

We toured the gardens took the nature tram, had a bite of lunch then did the swamp garden. I would not recommend doing the tram and then walk the swamp tour, very much the same thing. Plus no maps and tiring. I wish we would have done the cabin tour instead. The gardens would be really nice when either the... More

As struggling graduate students, my fiance tried to be really picky with what we saw when on our weekend getaway to Charleston. We chose to try Magnolia for it's great reviews and relatively descent price. We chose to also take the tram tour which ended up being really nice and a great way to see all the grounds in a... More

Walk around the many paths, some along the river to see a quiet plantation filled with greenery and flowers. Try to come in late March through April to see the showy azaleas. There are other things to do here, but I always go to see the flowers.

Always good visit when we go here we love the place and the animals, did a boat tour it was great the captain was great, although I forgot his name he was great! Beautiful place full of history!

We spent an afternoon here on a Friday. There is a fee for each attraction you want to do which you could easily spend almost 70.00 per person. We did the Nature boat and From Slavery to Freedom tour. Slavery to Freedom Tour-45 minutes long. We got onto a shuttle to where the slave houses were located. We got about... More
