Charleston Attractions

If you are looking for something to do and see while visiting Charleston, you have come to the right place!   Whether you are traveling on business or vacationing with the family, Charleston has plenty to offer.

You will not have to look too far to find something to do with the family.  The South Carolina Aquarium is a great place for the entire family; you will have encounters with river otters, turtles, birds, snakes, fish and sharks as you explore the numerous living exhibits.  Or if you're looking for fun and games, there's Frankie's Fun Park, 'your one stop for good food and great times!"

If golf is your thing, Charleston offers a number of top rated golf courses.  Check out Kiawah Island Golf Resort on Kiawah Island or Wild Dunes on the Isle of Palms.

Or maybe it is history that you are looking for.  If that is the case, Charleston is rich in it.  From the early settlements and bustling trade center of the late 17th century, its involvement in the American Revolution or the prosperity of the post-Revolution era through the Civil War and into today's Contemporary era, Charleston has plenty to offer.  Check out the Charleston Museum, Patriots Point Naval Museum, Middleton Place, the Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon and more...

Yet perhaps you are just looking for a little relaxation.  At Folly Beach, Waterfront Park,. Francis Marion National Forest, the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site or the Sullivan Island Lighthouse you will find just what you are looking for.

If that's not enough, here is a full list of attractions and things to do in Charleston. Or if you cannot figure out what to do, there are a number of companies that provide Charleston Tours.
