Aside from the usual blooms you can expect from a garden, Brookgreens also have some orchids and other air plants, a lot of trees, a zoo with a new wolf sanctuary, and beautiful sculptures. This was our second visit and I'm glad it was beautiful that day and we were able to take in the scenery more. The live oak alley is still my favrotire! The new conservatory was open during our visit which houses an impressive orchid wall. It is quite beautiful! The zoo area has some otters and bird sanctuary, goats, alligators, horses and many more! I love how beautiful everything is. Even when you're at the zoo, you will still find touches of the garden and a few sculptures here and there.

We had a group of ten, so I reached out to the museum (as on their site it recommends doing so for groups of ten or more). We were able to schedule a group tour and art activity for $5 per person! But we also would have been free to just visit the museum on our own. The museum is housed in a beach house that was actually moved to the current location from further up the coast. It is a beautiful building with a more modern add on that houses the offices and studios. There is a gorgeous sunporch with games and puzzles that you can enjoy while there. The museum always has two digital exhibits. When we were there it was two South Carolina artists with extremely different styles. One was batik and nature scenes that were full of beautiful color. The other was more modern/abstract and used some interesting layering techniques. The museum educator gave us great information about each artist along with information about some of the museum's permanent collections and history of the museum and building. When we were done with our tour, we were able to make our own batik designs which used white wax crayons and watercolor to design whatever we wanted. It was really fun to get creative in this beautiful space! Overall this is a lovely place to visit. The museum is free but they do accept donations. You won't spend a ton of time here, but it is a great place to spend an hour or so, especially on a rainy or cold day.

Staff was excellent, and the Impressionist exhibit was wonderful. Well worth the modest entry fee…read more We will be back. The series "Lateral Hazard" aspires to be a "playful and thought provoking" exhibition on MB's title of golf capital and our history with the military base. It was neither. The art itself was "meh" and the two artists expressed distain for both the military and golf without exploring beyond condemnation. The "thought provoking" was roughly at the level of "golf and the military power connection are bad, man" I'm a big fan of free speech, so they can say whatever they want. And I'm just a regular guy, not an art critic. Just expected either thoughtful discussion, or engaging art- got neither. Waste of time and space.

While driving home on Hwy 17 going through Georgetown I saw a sign that said Rice Museum. Yippee . Next thing I know we are in this historic section. The Rice Museum has many steps, and I have a bad back and hip right now so we could not go on the tour but we did get to look around the gift shop area. The gentleman working this shop/museum was so nice and friendly. I bought my rice and he made sure I was aware of how to store it....in the freezer. Who would have thought? (2 lb bag $14.95 and a 1 lb bag 10.95) They also have a yellow and a brown rice. The whole area is cute. If you are driving through pull off and stop and look around. You will be delighted.
