Children's Museum of the Lowcountry Description
The Children's Museum of the Lowcountry gives kids 3-12 the chance to do the kind of stuff that they wish they could do at home, like paint murals on the walls. While they're at it, they can also work in a garden, run a shrimp boat, work at a grocery store, and cook a meal fit for a king. (King Arthur, that is.) Another favorite is Raceways, where kids race golf balls through chutes and loops. The adults call it physics but the kids call it fun.
Kid Tips
Babies: The Totally Toddler area is what you hope it will be: a soft play area for babies (and toddlers, naturally) to crawl around without parents having to worry about sharp corners, stairs, or easily accessible exits.
School-Age Kids: Racing boats in Waterwise, an elaborate water table, will be a popular activity.
Planning Notes
- Check the Website. The museum offers free classes and activities, such as kids' karaoke, Caribbean music, and creating animal masks.
- Convenient location. The museum is located below the Visitor and Information Center, making it a wonderful first fun stop for your visit.

What we didn't love:
cant think of a thing.
This place is amazing for smaller children! There is an art room where kids have access to an apron and every kind of art supply you can think of. There is a midevil castle complete with dress up costumes, secret tunnels, puppet show theater, a shadow making room, a kitchen for cooking, a throne, and a spinning round table where kids can learn about actual knights. There is also a room where you can race golf balls down different pitches/slopes and tracks. The fun continues with a waterplay room that teaches about the water cycle. There is also a pirate ship, a kid sized grocery store with cash registers! and a soft play area for very small children. Outside there is a little garden where kids can water the plants by filling up a watering can in a little shallow pool with a waterfall. This place is so much fun and its a short walk to Pasta Joes, a really tasty little Italian restaurant. TIP: Walk to the visitors center and get a buy one get one free admission coupon for adults.
