Know Before You Go

Welcome to the Lowcountry's ultimate garden experience! Your garden admission gives you access to 66 acres of romantic-style gardens, including plants and trees that have been growing on the property since the 1840s.

Explore 6 miles of walking and biking trails. Walk the Audubon Swamp, a serene and undeveloped portion of the Ashley River. Stroll the bamboo garden and historic river walk. Don’t miss the Wildlife Center, home to many native species and rescued animals. Step back in history with a guided Magnolia House tour, the Nature Train tour, and "From Slavery to Freedom" tour.

We know there’s so much to see, do and explore! If you don’t finish it all in one day, your garden admission to Magnolia is good for one additional visit within the calendar year.
