Places to visit
Personally visited places in the low country with my two toddlers. If they liked it - we've added it here.
Awesome for Upick!
Willie's Roadside Market At Boone Hall Farms
Best place for strawberries! Out of this world! Even kept the big kids (and adults) entertained!!!
Westbury Farms Strawberry Fields/Marymeade Market
Mrs. Cindy hosts time for tots every month. She’s not only a wonderful friendly lady but she manages to keep 2 dozen toddlers engaged and having fun. For $5 this place is amazing.
Old Santee Canal Park
All the new renovations have been phenomenal! The way they’ve moved things around and the additions outside have made it so hard to leave each visit!
Childrens Museum of the Lowcountry
On the more pricey side for an aquarium but fun for the littles!
South Carolina Aquarium
Glorious park for kids all the way into early teens. Nice tables, easy walking path, adaptive. Basketball courts, pickleball courts, events and splash pad! It’s got all the goods.
Central Creek Park
Definitely one of our more favorite parks to visit! And with Summerville hosting 4U sports and a trail to walk/run. We definitely spend a lot of time here
Gahagan Park
Toddler time:
T/Th/F 8-1pm
$3/toddler!
We love this for my 4&2yo. There’s a bounce house, soft blocks, ride on cars, soft balls, hot wheels and a bunch of other toys. The staff is so nice and helpful! We love it here for early mornings. They al...
Rollins Edwards Community Center
Our new favorite place.
They have ducks, goats, horses, donkeys and pony’s. They have food to feed the animals which is a big hit with toddlers.
Full Circle Farm, Johns Island, SC
 Great place to bring your kids when you need to get some work done. Tons of activity space utilize really well. The coffee is pretty good and tons of local vendors showcasing their stuff on the shelves
Sip n' Slide Play Cafe
Such an awesome place to walk through. Small but fun playground and just enough to keep the kiddos entertained and exploring! Definitely a fun walk.
Riverfront Park
One of my favorite places to do a long run. 2.5mi over the bridge. There's a new splash pad that just opened up. Lots of history & a fishing pier where you can come empty handed and get everything you need. A lot of large ships pass through which...
Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park
Hands-down, some of the best food and drinks I've ever had. And they supply kids with crayons and coloring menus 10/10
Sunsets Creekside Bar
Huge Damn good donuts. Definitely shared size. Parking isn't the greatest and it is small so get there early.
BKeDSHop Nexton
Such a great location full of an assortment of items. Great for souvenirs that aren't your typical tchotchkes made overseas. Local vendors some reseller vendors. Either way a good time.
Charleston City Market
One of the best places to go bang for buck. They've now opened up a splash pad small but effective. And clean. Bathrooms are usually pretty clean. Small aquarium of the swamp. Butterfly garden, and then the grounds themselves. You can also go for a s...
Cypress Gardens
Great trail for hiking with littles. It's got just enough for a clear path but tons of foliage and animals to keep the littles interested. Great in the spring and fall.
Biggin Creek Bike Trail Mountain Bike Trail, Moncks Corner, South Carolina
This is one of those secret spots. There's always people oyster harvesting and my son loves watching and chatting the people up.
Pitt Street Bridge
One of the coolest natural areas on the coasts I've ever been. My son loved touching everything. We found shells the size of his head. Every visit makes you feel something new.
Botany Bay's Boneyard Beach
I love this park and everything it has to offer. I love that our Charleston county parks gold pass gets us in no cost and admission to the light show at Christmas time. Just everything.
James Island County Park
Such a fun historical place to take the kids. My son loves the cannons
Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park
Such an interesting location with lots of lush green to walk around. Little hands stay busy playing with nature all around! Nice and quiet. Definitely a top spot for relaxing, learning and enjoying nature
Not really a park but a small pier near the bridge - great for shark teeth, local tidal pool wildlife, fishing and crabbing. Toddlers haven.
Northbridge Park
Phenomenal park - but definitely crowded as heck during peak times. Keep in mind there's no water features during the height of the summer heat.
Park Circle Playground - Welcome to City of North Charleston
We love love love going. There's a small zoo, a ship replica, and enough walking path to wear those kids out!
Charles Towne Landing | South Carolina Parks Official Site
Freaking awesome playground shaped like a ship for the kiddo's on Sullivans Island. Old school vibes with a couple of great restaurants and relaxing beach.
J MARSHALL STITH PARK - Updated March 2026 - 2058 Middle St, Sullivan's ...
Amazing inclusive playground for kids and adults! Only downside - no water features. However there are a lot of sail shades so that does help with the heat.
