As we left, we let the staff at the front desk know about her remarks. The two staff looked at us, shrugged their shoulders, and said, "Oh, that's just Carol."

We hope someone will review the tour script and suggest more inclusive and affirming language.

The Old Slave Mart is located at 6 Chalmers Street and is a must-have on your itinerary, even if…read moreyou visit Charleston for a short time. In the heart of the French Quarter, near the French Huguenot Church, One of the first African-American slave museums in the country, Old Slave Mart, is set inside the building where enslaved people were auctioned before the Civil War and is a somber, but important part of a Charleston trip focusing on history. The tour is self-guided, with signage explaining the history. There are also personal accounts from enslaved individuals, artifacts, and audio and visual exhibits. It is a small but deeply affecting museum that gives a sobering view of history. Here, you can listen to the recording of an interview with a former slave. Old Slave Mart was a real slave auction site in the 18th and 19th centuries. Slave auctions were held here till 1863.

This one is kind of small. They did have a cool outside area with putt putt and parts to make loopty loop tracks for the golf balls which my son liked. My daughter liked "working" at the seafood restaurant. They both enjoyed "shopping" in the grocery store, but the check out area/scanners weren't working. Overall, glad we visited once, but for the size vs the price, we probably wont be back.

We visited with our kids on 8/16/26 from 2:30 PM-4:30 PM. and had mixed feelings about our trip…read more The exhibits are great for a smaller museum, well thought out for young children and clearly designed with care. Unfortunately, none of the staff were welcoming and didn't even acknowledge us being there outside of checking in. The only time the staff talked to the children was when reprimanding them. There was no real warmth or friendliness, which was disappointing for a place centered around kids' experiences. Also be prepared to stand for a majority of them time because you have to stay with your kids but they don't provide anywhere to sit besides child size seats and not very many of them. So keep that in mind if you aren't able to spend long periods of time standing. If your child is older than 7, they will be bored in about an hour. If they're older than 11, they will be bored the whole time. It's decorated nicely and the areas are cute. That's about all it has going for it. Just kind of pathetic compared to other city's museums. I don't find it to be worth the money at all. It also smells weird but it's probably because the building looks to be 100 years old. They could use some tips from the Children's museum in Greenville. It blows this one out of the water in multiple ways.

I'm a fan of Level Four, but I don't feel qualified to say they're the best in the business, though they are certainly the best I've encountered in my limited experience. Level Four has actual metrics they use to make their recommendation whereas their competition (specifically: Cranial Technologies, Inc) seems to make their recommendations based on feelings and assumptions. Though my assessment may not be valid, Level Four seems to have a much more accurate and quantitative system of evaluation which provides ratios and percentages and uses fancy math to describe the symmetry of a child's head while the other place took a neat 3D picture and pointed to parts of his skull saying things like; "that looks a little uneven there" and "that probably won't correct as he gets older." Level Four's pricing is almost half of what the other place charges for what appears to be a nearly identical product, but I feel like Level Four does a better job evaluating and they were not pushy at all. At Cranial Technologies, Inc, I felt a little pressured to proceed with treatment though they were very nice. Level Four's office was not as fancy as Cranial Technologies, but it was clean and the office staff was friendly - we felt very comfortable and the man that evaluated my boy was super gentle, very genuine and likable. In the end, Level Four said that my son does not need to use a band - his symmetry is not perfect, but it is extremely good, nothing abnormal and will improve as he develops.
