Magnolia Plantations & Gardens
Mar 13, 2009 by Chris from Atlanta
Overall Rating: 10

• Great place to go if the weather is pretty.
• About 40 minutes from Charleston.

“If you like history and/or gardens, this place has a lot to offer. We visited on a beautiful day. Interesting house filled with antiques and quilts that take your breath away. The house is a bit of a hodge-podge of styles. Many original outbuildings, also a bit of a zoo with ponies, etc. Huge, really huge gardens next to the river. The day we went the camellias were putting on quite a show. There are also some restored slave cabins and a few other acknowledgments of black history. Large gift shop with more than the usual offerings.”

Middleton Place Foundation

• Cost, food, nothing to see or do unless willing to pay additional fees.

“We had lunch at the restaurant and it was the worst 30 minute wait when not busy and food that was unpalatable and service that was less friendly than a fast food place.”

• The gardens are exceptional.
• The prices seem incredibly high.

“The gardens at Middleton Place are incredibly beautiful and very extensive. There is definitely a lot to see, even for someone (like me) who is not that knowledgeable about plants and gardens. The house museum was pretty good, but you should know that it is not the original home. For the price of admission, I wouldn't recommend it over some of the other homes in Charleston.”

“Beautiful home, very livable nicely restored.”
