This place is incredible but the highlight is really the main road with the canopying trees. I explored the entire site but honestly could have have turned around after walking down that main road. The road is about a 1.5-mile walk. In my opinion the trees toward the end are even more impressive than the ones at the beginning so plan your photos accordingly! They offer a shuttle from the entrance to the end of the road. I only took it on the way back, but it took so long to get everyone loaded in that I might have been better off walking if I hadn't been in such a time crunch. Plan to spend more time here than you'd expect! I was there for 2.5 hours because it does take time to explore the whole area. I got there at 10 a.m. on a Saturday and was surprised how slow it was, 95% of my photos had nobody in the background. By the time I got back about 12:30 p.m. it was PACKED so get there early! Parking is free, admission is $12 for adults. The gift shop is great too!
We were in town for the holidays and touring around a bit. We didn't know much of anything about the site when we arrived. We paid for our party of 5 to enter and loaded to take the ride towards the museum. The ride itself, extremely beautiful trees all the way, but quite uncomfortable for some of us. The benches are wood and the trek a bit bumpy, so it's probably not advised to use it if you've got any back or sitting issues. Three of us ended up walking back to avoid the tractor...lovely walk anyway. As for my elderly parents, we'd hoped to find them a good place to sit while we roamed that end of the property but there wasn't any comfortable seating around the museum so they just rode back to the entrance and waited for us in the rocking chairs. We'd hoped to see lots of birds at the marshy area but no such luck that day. Hands down the oak drive is the standout of the site. It was interesting to learn about the history of the property on the ride, but not worth the discomfort in my particular case. The visit wasn't the standout of our trip, and altho the trees were gorgeous you can see beautiful ones all around town so I probably wouldn't pay the entry fee to visit again.
Tony and I thoroughly enjoyed Wormsloe State Historical Site on Skidaway Island in Savannah! We were able to get into the park for $9 each since we are Seniors! It opened at 9am and we got there about 15 after. We paid our admission in the gift shop! We caught the shuttle to the museum on the site which runs every half hour. Once there we self guided toured the museum then walked to the Tabby Ruins of the original home plus his grave! Definitely a lovely historical park to visit! I purchased a magnet for my refrigerator! If in the area you should go!
We had a wonderful time exploring Wormsloe. While you can choose to walk the grounds, taking the shuttle through the iconic path of 440 massive oak trees was both informative and enjoyable. They've recently updated their shuttles, which made for a comfortable experience even though they are wooden bench seats. They run every 30 minutes, take you to the museum and trails, and the ride itself lasts about 15-20 minutes each way. After the ride, we spent some time in the small museum which was cute and took the trail out to the Colonial Life Area. It's a nice walk through the forest with plenty of fresh air and different kinds of birds that really adds to the visit. The Colonial Life Area was small so don't expect a large village or anything. We also managed to find a few things in the gift shop, which has a surprisingly good selection. Definitely a highlight if you're looking for that classic, historic, and forest atmosphere!
This was a beautiful place to see these beautiful trees. You can either walk it or they have a little transportation system that goes up and down the row of trees. The museum is very small a few interesting things in it, but the beauty is in the mile line trees.
Visiting Wormsloe Historic Site with Jordan felt like stepping straight into a movie scene. The iconic oak-lined avenue with the Spanish moss is honestly breathtaking. it didn't even feel real. I kept thinking I was in the middle of a romantic comedy, just waiting for the perfect cinematic moment to happen. What made it even more special is realizing that this place was once given as a birthday gift, like, can you imagine? It made the whole experience feel even more magical and surreal. For a second, I was like wow, that could totally be me receiving something like this. lol It's peaceful, beautiful, and full of history, but also incredibly romantic . Definitely one of those places that makes you slow down, take it all in, and just appreciate the moment.
Located a bit outside downtown Savannah, the Wormsloe Historic Site is a beautiful haven of oak trees, nature, and history. Most go to snap pictures of their famous road lined with oak trees, which alone makes the excursion outside downtown worth it. In recent years, they have made the prudent decision to prohibit commercial vehicle traffic on the road, and offer a trolley that takes you the full length of the Avenue of Oaks, and drops you off outside a museum. Admission is very reasonable, and includes the trolley ride. The only restrooms available during our visit were at the modern visitors center, as the museum ones were out of service. You have an option to rent bikes should you wish to explore more of the property. The trolley is excellent, as the employees are friendly and provide a narrated history of the site as you make your way down towards the museum, and are happy to answer any questions you may have. The decision to restrict traffic on the Avenue of Oaks was excellent, as I was able to snap some great pictures and take in the beauty of the natural surroundings without a slew of vehicles. The only minor deduction from my rating (4.5/5) is because the museum the trolley drops you off at is really old and outdated, and even the employees working there pointed out that it needs to be updated and modernized. They told me updates may be in the works for the future, but given the historic nature of the site, there may be some hurdles. I would recommend a side trip out to Wormsloe Historic Site to all those that visit Savannah. I only regret that it took me several visits to Savannah before I finally made the trip out to Wormsloe.
A really nice visit to an historical site. This is a nice place to spend some time exploring the past in Savannah. The visitor's center is great. They have a shuttle that takes you to the old structures. Dogs are welcome everywhere, even on the shuttle. The walking trails are lovely, especially near the salt marshes. The museum is simple. The colonial village and blacksmith shop was nice to see. The highlights are really just absorbing the beautiful forests and walking the trails. You can rent bikes and they even have electric chargers for your car.
Beautiful site, very peaceful. Paid in the front and drove very slowly to enjoy the view of the trees and the shade. Everything was serene and super clean. I enjoyed walking around and learning about this site.
If hiking, history and nature is your thing, this is for you! I personally wanted to see the oak lined road. And that its self was maybe a 5 minute walk from the visitors center. It is $12pp to gain access past the center. If I went again, I wouldn't go past the start of the trees personally. It's a mile and a half walk to the small museum. The trolley wait is 30 minutes and fits 16 people but the ranger was kind and allowed people in the bed of his pickup that was pulling it. I think the trees themselves are a must see if you're visiting Savannah. Also, they have shut down the tree lined road down to traffic, they said all the vehicles going through was killing the trees. So know you can't drive back anymore. Parking: Lots of free onsite parking at the visitors center. Restrooms: There are restrooms at the visitors center AND at the end of the mile and a half walk! Food: They have snacks such as trail mix, jerky, etc available in the visitors center.
The main reason you're coming here is to marvel at and take photos of the Oak tree alley that's about a mile and a half long (400 live oaks). You start at the visitor's center, which is mainly a gift shop with a few points of history. From there you can catch the shuttle (outdoor, some covered, some open) and get some entertaining info from Ranger Rick, who will take you down to the museum, tabby ruins, lookout, and some other historical sites related to Wormsloe and the family. Admission price is 12 dollars and there is plenty of parking. Nice place to spend a couple of hours.
This is a beautiful site with the historical remains of a building and an informative museum. The setting is a peaceful walk or you can take an open shuttle to the museum. The best part is seeing the oak trees with the Spanish moss. You can bring your dogs too! The walk is easy for people if all ages, as the path is flat.
This is such an amazing beautiful place. A must visit! If you can get the tour by Viator with Kelly tours and get Dennis as your tour guide then you will sure learn a lot about this place and the history! The trees are just magical, I always love oak trees with spanish moss. Just makes them look 10x more interesting. We visited in Nov which was cloudy and warm. But a great weather to walk around. Definitelly need to visit when in Savannah, will complete your visit for sure.
Overall rating: 4.7 Beautiful spot for pictures.. but only that? I planned to stay maybe 2-3 hrs and lasted 30 minutes. The pictures are beautiful but I'm not sure if I'd come again. The wagon also only drops at the end, versus being a halfway point. Really beautiful trees but there are tons of them in town as well. I do wish there was more background on the land or history. The ruin building was a bit random. read more
Was excited to re-visit Wormsloe with their new gift shop and welcome center. They now offer ample parking equipped with EV charging stations and a gorgeous new building at the start of the Wormsloe experience with gift shop, restrooms, and a cute "porch area". Single day tickets for Historic Sites are only available to purchase on site the day you visit, not online. However, the staff is very friendly and helpful. They offer a shuttle that will take you to 1.5 miles down the picturesque drive or you can walk. Cars are not longer permitted down the drive. The shuttle does offer some interesting facts and is open air allow you to take pictures and still enjoy the outdoors! The shuttle drop-off is at the museum that is on-site. It is in MUCH need of a renovation as some of the interaction pieces are no longer working. I remember visiting in either elementary school or middle school some 20-ish years ago and I don't believe it has been touch since then. You are able to walk the grounds to visit the ruins via the trails. It is waterfront property with views into the marsh and channels off the Skidaway River. Keep in mind that mosquitos and sand gnats may be a nuisance; plan accordingly. read more

We rented their bikes to make quick work of the trail that leads past the tabby ruins along the marsh to the Colonial Life Area. Bikes were an awesome option to make the best use of our time. The trail is beautifully lined with trees, but without the bikes, it's a good walk or you're on the schedule of the shuttle (where you can't stop to take pics). Biking, it was a nice little 2ish hour experience for us. Very cool and well done demonstrations of colonial life. read more
History whispers as you walk in the footsteps of the past. I felt it. It has been a dream come true to step inside Wormsloe Historic Site. It has been one item on my bucket list to travel to Savannah and step onto the soil where the painful history of slavery actually happened, but still echoes despite the century that has gone by. History has always interested me. I have been told that I am an old soul. Every time I travel to new places, I make sure there is a historical site that I will be visiting. I love the stories behind them. The moment I walked into the arched entrance, it seemed like I was transported to a different era. I was enthralled by the rich history of the state. I was awed by the moss-draped avenue of live oak trees that stand as prime witnesses to what really took place and who walked through there. At the heart of Wormsloe are the stately tabby ruins of the colonial estate of Noble Jones, one of Georgia's first settlers. The grand structures allow visitors to journey back in time to experience life in the 18th century. We enjoyed walking, getting near to the marshes, and exploring the maritime forest aside from the ruins. I believe that visiting Savannah, Georgia will never be complete without a visit to Wormsloe. read more

Absolutely breathtaking. Wormsloe Historic Site is a must visit for anyone who loves history and/or nature. I was so glad to have learned more about Savannah after having visited this state park, for there is much to discover here. Wormsloe Historic Site is operated by the state of Georgia as it's a state park. There is an admission fee and for veterans, there is a discount. If you're following Google Maps to get to this site, it will take you to the old entrance, which is not open. However, just down the road from it, you'll see the main entrance where the visitor's center is. Here is where you can find plenty of parking, buy your admission fee, use the restrooms and shop in the gift shop. There's also a free shuttle here that takes you to the park if you don't want to walk the mile to it. There's a lot of history here as is seen from when you walk around the park, especially when you get to Noble Jones' tabby ruins, which is the oldest structure in Georgia. Pretty amazing. This historic site was Noble Jones' plantation and is located along the Savannah River on a marsh, which you can walk out to on an observation deck. It's absolutely stunning. It really reminded me of being in this part of the country. There are many walking trails here, which are all dog-friendly, and what may be my favorite part is how many live oaks and Spanish moss you can see here! Loved it so much! You can even walk along the grand avenue of the live oaks instead of taking the shuttle, which I highly recommend doing. The live oaks are absolutely beautiful and really make an entrance. Coincidentally, we visited during the colonial faire event, which occurs in February and is where you can see people dress up and demonstrate 18th century life as it was. It was a great way to bask in even more history. I cannot recommend visiting Wormsloe Historic Site enough. read more
An absolute must see in Savannah! First time visiting the area so had to stop by this place since I've heard such great things. It certainly didn't disappoint! The guides were all very helpful in explaining the rich history of this historic site. Highly recommend checking this out! read more

The entrance building and gift shop is gorgeous- I sincerely hope they can updater the museum further into the park grounds too. I was very happy they offer a tram to take you down the gorgeous live oak drive and back to the museum. AKA- this is handicap accessible. The gift shop had a variety of gift items. I bought some cookie presses and John snagged a magnet. Staff here are great! Very informative tour on the tram. They run 2 trams- it takes about 15 minutes to drive back. There are hiking trails and ruins of an old fort on the grounds. With the heat and limited physical abilities- we stuck to the tram. I would love to return and explore more in the future! read more

Easily one of my favorite stops while visiting Savannah! If you are an out of towner, I would 100% add this spot to the itinerary. We were staying in downtown without a car, so it was an Uber away for us, but still very worth it. If you have your own car, maybe plan it for a day you are driving in or out of the city already. Our driver was born and raised in Savannah and actually had never visited herself! So natives, if this is your equivalent to a New Yorker visiting the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty, plan a day to go! You'll love it here if you love: -walking (you've got to really love it though) -ogling at nature's beauty -history -being outside Our Uber dropped us off right at the entrance and top of an incredibly beautiful long road lined by oak trees. We paid our entrance fees and started our walk. It's long, but not hilly or difficult. After the long road, you can wander different paths, walk through the small museum/history center to learn about the family that has owned and lived on the property since the 1730s. Some tips to make the day even better: -wear comfortable and close toed shoes! I wore birks and my toes were basically black from dust and dirt. -bring water! They have vending machines, but were out of water the day we went. -don't go hungry. The walk was long and beautiful and I would have hate to cut it short because we needed to get food. Enjoy! read more
This historic site charges a fairly large admission fee per person for a state park. It is quite a nice area, though. The entrance is one of those canopied rows of trees that was made to impress visitors to the plantation that used to be here. This was hundreds of years before Instagram, but the aesthetic is still impressive in the modern age and everyone was stopping for pictures. The plantation itself, however, is mostly gone, leaving a set of historical exhibits and some trails that give the visitor an opportunity to imagine what settling this sort of terrain might have been like. The ruins of an old mansion are made with a mix of shells, creating a distinctive aesthetic. The Spanish Moss is abundant, and the property adjoins tidal creeks surrounded by swathes of spartina grass. I've been to quite a few such sites, but if this was my first one, it would have convinced me to come back for more. I didn't even fully peruse the history museum or catch any events, but for a day hike on the edge of Savannah, it was a quality site. read more

I've been to Savannah a ton of times, but never knew about this hidden gem! This is a stunning photographic must-do! It's scenic and peaceful! The trail walk out to the ruins and the wetland area was beautiful! It was nice to see a trolley being used rather than cars going down this beautifully photographic road. The bike riders seemed to enjoy the serenity too! read more

We went in mid November with cool weather & sunny skies. They have transportation under the trees and down the lane in a trailer being pulled by a tractor. They closed it to driving traffic a couple years ago because the traffic was damaging the roots of the trees. The tractor trailer was comfortable enough and fits a lot of people. We were the only group on our tractor going down the lane, so our guide was able to answer all our questions and was friendly. The first trailer had no bars over it, so our view of the trees was unimpeded. The trees are beautiful. People were also walking up and down the lane instead of the trailer ride. The trailer takes you to the museum which is nothing amazing. Very basic, took 10-20 minutes. There are trails around to go to ruins and other places, so in good weather plan to spend time walking around the property. They have bikes for rent and a lot of people did that. Dogs are allowed. The trailers seem to come every 30 minutes to pick you up from the museum and take you back to the gift shop. The trailer on the way back had bars above the seating, so videos and pictures were more challenging. The gift shop had some nice stuff and they sell soda, water & ice cream bars. The only bathrooms that were working when we went were at the gift shop, the ones at the museum were closed, so be aware of that. A lovely place to spend 2-5 hours depending on if you want to walk the trails. Kid friendly, but its nature site seeing, so younger kids may not love it. Although, they can run around, so maybe they will. read more
This park is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The draw to this place is the gorgeous path you are able to walk and bike on that is covered by live oaks and sprawling Spanish moss. When I was here, there were many people taking photos. We saw girls in their prom dresses and also a couple taking maternity photos. There is a cost to get in, but it is well worth it. If you ever find yourself taking a trip to Savannah, definitely add this to your list of things to do as it is only a few minutes drive out. read more

This was one of my fav stops in Savannah. We came in early on a Saturday afternoon and walked out to the trees. Definitely need to have walking shoes and bug spray on for the walk and some water in hand. Learning the history of the property through the different generations along with the raw beauty of the area was memorable. Parking is free and easy in a large lot in front. Plus, the gift shop had great trinkets to bring home and you can become a Junior Ranger if your kids are interested. read more
Picturesque Oak Avenue alone was worth seeing. We took the free tour which was about 45 minutes or so. The guide was a wealth of information on everything about the property including the vegetation, the tabby (not the cat) and just anything related to Wormsloe. read more

Great entry site - we did a lot of walking but if you want there is a tram that will take you most of the way out and back! We enjoyed our hike through the maritime forest and the Wormsloe specific things were awesome! Highly recommend if you're looking for some great outdoor time...the avenue of oaks is so inspiring! read more

Loved the Spanish miss drenched live oak lined path, beautiful. We rented bikes and was very hot and humid but shaded by the trees and movement of wind as you rode made it bearable and glad we did it. Walking would have been brutal this hot day, shuttle wouldn't have been as fun although probably would have a learned a bit more history from the guide/driver. Got some great pics! read more
My wife and I went to visit historic Wormsloe and did the self-guided tour of the grounds. It was a fascinating window into colonial Georgia and the early settlement of the Savannah area. I do HIGHLY recommend taking and using bug spray on this visit. Since this is near salt marshes and the river, there are lots of various bugs. On this particular visit, I was feasted upon by "no see-ums" and biting flies. However, that was towards the end of our visit around 4pm. Plan to spend 2-3 hours visiting and touring the grounds. It was quite serene, peaceful and beautiful there - there was a good energy in this area. We enjoyed listening to what wind talking through the cabbage palms and Spanish moss. Also, if you're quiet near the salt marshes, you can hear the mud pop. read more
Entering this site brings the feeling of .. things have happened here. The massive tree lining road is impressive and something special. You're greeted by the park staff up entering who have an unbelievable amount of knowledge about this site. As you drive along the path line with the massive trees I felt like i was going back in time. and makes you realize how special this historic site truly is. Fairly easy walking paths table you to various points on the site and enjoyed the peace and quiet while being here to take it all in. it's a fairly easy ride from Savannah and worth hanging out for an hour or two . read more
This is a beautiful historic park! It's on the top 10 must see sights when visiting Savannah! I do believe that it is worth seeing! Make sure to have comfortable walking shoes! At the entrance you'll pay for each guest. They have a disabled veteran discount. There are kids prices and adult. I paid about $20 for 2 adults and a 5 year old. We drove through the park to the parking lot surrounded by beautiful arched trees! It was really a sight! At the tourist center, there is a bathroom and a gift shop. There are bugs out so you may want to have bug spray!! Big tip! There are many paths in the park that you can take and can end up walking a few miles easily! Bring a stroller for the younger kiddos. Dogs are allowed as long as they're leashes or carried. I wish that they had more seating areas around the park. We only came across one on our walk. read more

This park is both beautiful and rich in history. Entry is through the gift shop, and we had the pleasure of learning fascinating historical details about the park and Georgia from our knowledgeable tram driver. Although our visit was brief due to arriving near closing time, it was absolutely worth it. We'll definitely return when we're in the area! read more
