    We went Christmas Day and it was not too busy. Unexpectedly ran into the American Gardens when walking down King Street. Check their website for when the vendors and carousel are open. Picturesque small park with bright decorated lights, wreaths, water fountains and christmas tree - extending from one block to the other. Highly recommend adding this stop to your holiday stroll and photo ops

    The new American Gardens is small but beautiful. It is easy to miss as you walk down a busy Meeting St or King St and it paying attention. But turn off on either end and you'll see a broad lawn with tall fountains on each end with patio style seating. Located in the middle of the park is a carousel! When I heard that they were opening a carousel soon I couldn't wait to get down there. At the time of this post it was not yet open and operating, but it will be soon. I think it's a great addition to Charleston and the charm it offers. This would be a great spot to have a picnic with the family or friends, maybe grab a coffee and book and perch at one of the patio tables, or grab the kiddos to take a spin on one of the wooden horses. While the park itself is free I do not know if the carousel will be charged or not. UPDATE: I was informed the carousel is only here for the month of December. It is free so enjoy it while you can!

    Beautiful new park in downtown Charleston between King and Meeting street. It was beautifully lit with bright clear Christmas lights. There was a carousel for kids to ride, large Christmas tree, and a few wooden stands selling food. The layout is a nice rectangular block, and balanced with 2 beautiful water fountains. It had a European Christmas market feel at night. I noticed magnolia trees on one side along the main path with a few benches. It's a nice addition to Charleston. Check it out.

    Nicely decorated, cute relaxing area. We went on Sunday evening, but it was soooooo busy with people. Very packed. The hot cocoa and everything was a nice touch and option to get. Would like to see more options available though. Live performer we saw was a violinist i believe. The carousel was of course the high light for the little ones. The gardens is a nice addition for the area.

    Absolutely magical and breathtaking garden to walk through on a cold winter night. Lights were everywhere. Such a great spot for a photo. Little shops with snacks, drinks, and decor to purchase. Live entertainment by one entrance. Can easily spend an hour or so just roaming and exploring this trendy spot.

    This cute new park with lots of tree, fun carrousel, and nice to for walking around during day time or just to sit and relax in downtown Charleston on King St. There is drink vendor that open in the afternoon evening and I came in the morning so I don't see the shop open yet.

    This is a known park in Charleston, as there is a lot of history in the place. It's also a local…read morepark for the locals who live in the area. I will make a note that there are lots of birds and they are not afraid of dropping ppoop from above. My cousin was a representative of that, as well as someone else we saw in the park. There are lots of statues with history in them as well. On a hot day, the sea breeze feels great, and in the winter, it can make it much cooler. There are lots of homes that look out to the park and give it a vibe that is out of a movie. There are sidewalks and ramps in the area, but sometimes there are a situation of off-road driving is needed. As not all of this is ADA-compliant. We got to see some cannons as well as the place where they were fired from. You can see lots of dogs and its leash free park, so you might have a four legged from come say hi. There are still rules about how they have to be friendly, and that you still have to have control over your pet. There was a gazebo in the middle that was a great place to take a break without fear of bird poop falling from the sky. Overall, it was a great park to visit while getting some history.

    The battery is a nice walkway around the Charleston harbor area. The entire walking path is about…read more2.5 miles of sidewalk. It takes you from a coast guard sector and ends close to rainbow row. It also wraps around white point garden. There are so many sights, it's very pleasant, and the whole thing is along the water. My husband went multiple times on our trip to get our morning jogs in. I highly recommend it as a sunset walk as well.
