We went to Cypress Gardens this morning and spent several lovely hours there. Overall, it's an…read moreinteresting place with a little bit of everything--walking paths and gardens, a butterfly house, the Swamparium, and, of course, the swamp boats. The gift shop is super small, despite looking much bigger from the outside. The Swamparium was interesting, with fish, snakes, and other reptiles from local waterways and wetlands around the world. I wouldn't want to be close to them, but I also felt bad they were behind glass. We saw several alligators. We wanted to explore some of the longer nature trails, but they were pretty overgrown and ran right alongside the swamp. We were a little nervous that we wouldn't spot an alligator with enough warning, so we stuck to the more maintained paths. We spent about an hour to an hour and a half walking around. The highlight was definitely the self-guided boat ride. My husband did most of the paddling, it took some effort! It was so much fun paddling among the cypress trees, seeing the water lilies, watching the ducks, and keeping our eyes open for alligators in the water. The guy running the boat area was really friendly and helpful. A couple of practical things to know: admission is $10, and if you want to do the boats, sign up as soon as you arrive. We got there around 9:30, about 30 minutes after opening, and were initially told the wait would be about an hour. It ended up being a little over two hours before we got on a boat. You connect to the park Wi-Fi, scan a QR code, and get your place in line. Overall, I don't know that Cypress Gardens would make my top list of things to do when friends come into town, but if you're a bird lover or nature lover, it's a good spot to experience the Lowcountry. And the boat ride alone made the visit worthwhile for us.

This park has been completely renovated and it is amazing! It is accessible for children with…read morespecial needs- from the swings, to the zip line and more. It is still gated and I only had to go by and close the gate once so, for the most part, people are doing a good job of keeping that secure. I loved all the musical instruments and the four hidden animals on the playground equipment (squirrel, owl, butterfly and frog). This park also has bathrooms which is a huge plus with kids.

He was not even walking at one point and didn't seem to be capable of using his right arm. He cradled and protected the arm from everything.

An enjoyable experience for us all!!! We will be back, for sure!

Update: over the holidays, we took the family kayaking. My brother, mom and I had never been. We…read morehad so much fun. A single kayak is $4 for 30 minutes. We also did the entire disc golf course over two days. The first day we did 7 holes and the second day we did 11. We were all pretty much beginners so we definitely struggled a bit (so many trees). I had bought a disc set off Amazon and luckily they were bright colors because one person in our group kept losing theirs in the dead leaves. If you have to rent, I believe each disc is $5. It was fun but it does take awhile if you aren't great, like we were. I would definitely go again to see if I can get anywhere close to par (not likely). Still highly recommend this park. We are lucky to have it nearby.

Gahagan Park has quickly become one of my favorite places to walk. Since the beginning of the…read moreCoronavirus, I've been staying with my boyfriend in Lincolnville. I have been trying to go on a walk every day. Most days, I just walk around his neighborhood. However, I was excited when I heard the parks reopened. I made a venture to Gahagan Park the first time almost on accident. I needed somewhere to go to get signal, as I don't get good phone service in Lincolnville. So I went to Gahagan Park for the phone signal, but after my virtual appointment, I decided to walk around this park. I found a track wrapping around a football field. I headed towards this because I assumed this would be the best place for walking. I passed a few baseball fields on my way. When I got to the track and started to walk around, I noticed that part of the track veers off. I followed this path to see where it lead. It went by some more baseball fields. It also lead to some public bathrooms and a picnic area. At the end of this walking trail, there is a graveyard. It is fenced in, and I couldn't get in. This is the point where I turn around, as the park ends and the walking path turns into a road. I like coming to Gahagan Park for my daily walks. I have a friend who plays ultimate frisbee here! This is a cool, fun, and relatively safe place to hang out. I definitely recommend checking it out!

Wannamaker County Park is one of our favorite outdoor spots in the area--especially if you're…read morevisiting with a dog. The park is very pet-friendly, with wide trails, open spaces, and plenty of room to walk, sniff, and explore. We love coming here in the winter months because it's much less crowded, which makes it perfect for letting our dog, Luna, really enjoy herself without a lot of distractions. She gets to explore at her own pace, and we get a peaceful, relaxing walk. Another nice bonus is the cost--it's only $2 per person to enter, which is very reasonable for how much space and how well-maintained the park is. We have the Charleston County Park Pass, so we don't pay anything to get in, making it an easy go-to spot for regular visits. The trails are well-kept, there's a great mix of wooded areas and open space, and it never feels overly busy during the cooler seasons. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, dog-friendly park, especially in the fall and winter when the crowds thin out.
