Map
Near Park Circle Playground in North Charleston, this is definitely a great spot for families because of the large outdoor covered & uncovered space!
Holy City Brewing
Firefly Distillery in North Charleston is almost right across the road from Holy City Brewing & also great for families because of the open grass space. They often host farmer’s markets & events you can’t miss!
Firefly Distillery
Their Harbor View Road location has a great little (mostly) enclosed turf yard complete with picnic tables & a pretty doggy mural—perfect for families with littles who might need to move about.
Coastal Crust James Island
Definitely an off the beaten path spot off Ashley River Road (61) but is especially perfect with its fully enclosed turf yard —with both covered & uncovered space, lots of shade, and seating!
House of Brews West Ashley
Great for burgers & bourbon with a great back beer garden, fully enclosed with pretty murals & open space for littles to get their sillies out!
Bohemian Bull
Leisurely stroll up & down the boardwalk to look for boats or dolphins, or walk the shady path all the way up & down.. Prepare to get a little wet when visiting both fountains, including the infamous Pineapple Fountain!
Charleston Waterfront Park
This massive playground feels like a complex & definitely holds the littles’ attention! It’s not a far walk from here to Park Circle promenade with restaurants, bars & more!
Park Circle Playground - Welcome to City of North Charleston
A simple, easy way to get your steps in, enjoy some amazing waterfront views, maybe see some wildlife to then pop over the other side of the creek for something to eat!
Enjoy the Shem Creek Boardwalk
They truly had families in mind when designing the accommodations, amenities & every comfort offered!
Wild Dunes Resort
For rainy days or for families who love the ocean & animals!
South Carolina Aquarium
Tucked behind the tennis courts across the street from Colonial Lake Park! Naturally shaded & quiet—the perfect downtown spot for a quick de-stim for littles
General William Moultrie Playground
We’ve enjoyed going here all summer long - this place has stolen our hearts! The outdoor areas are tailored to families & kids as they’ve set up a little play kitchen complete with toys for the littles!
Cabana Burgers & Shakes
This is more ‘interactive children’s indoor play sanctuary’ than ‘museum’ — great for curious littles or on a bad weather day downtown.
Childrens Museum of the Lowcountry
This little tucked away indoor play place in the Citadel Mall has saved us on more than one rainy day!
OutSlide In
Has a great outdoor patio that encourages families to feel more relaxed to allow kids to be kids & it is virtually enclosed
Taco Boy Charleston
Complete with playground, this park also has beautiful paths through the park, around a pond (with geese & ducks!) for a lovely, quiet stroll away from bustling downtown areas.
Hampton Park
What a great spot & so much space with outdoor seating - perfect families! I also see us hosting a low-key birthday party here maybe..
The Garden at Charles Towne Fermentory
