Wonderful Experience for Young Children! I took my…read more2-year-old grandson to the aquarium on Skidaway Island, and he absolutely loved it! He was fascinated by all the turtles and fish, and I really appreciated that they had step stools for the little ones to see into the tanks more easily. One of his favorite parts was the touch tank, where he got to feel sea shells and crabs--it was such a fun and interactive experience for him. After the aquarium, we went on a short hike along their natural trail, which was a great way to explore the outdoors. The scavenger hunt they provided made it even more engaging, as we searched for animals and other natural items along the way. Overall, it was a fantastic outing. I highly recommend a visit--especially if you have young kids!

Thoroughly entertaining and professionally executed pirate-themed boat ride for kids. My…read morefive-year-old granddaughter is more of a unicorns-and-mermaids girl, but she absolutely loved the interactive play (particularly firing water cannons at Stinky Pete), swashbuckling storyline, and theatrical elements (face paint, temporary tattoos, pirate names, complimentary costume vests to use on board). We sprung for the extras--bandana, foam sword, eye patch, flag--because she doesn't have pirate gear at home, but you're free to bring your own costumes/accessories. Sure, it's pricey, but if you're looking for one special, memory-making excursion to share with your child or grandchild--particularly ages 4-7--I'd highly recommend this pirate cruise.

The crew did a great job with the kids before and during the adventure. You can buy your pirate gear once you arrive at check in or bring your own. We chose to bring our own.

We took our 5 year old daughter to see the Mermaid of Hilton Head. The experience did not…read moredisappoint! Mermaid Nina's friend, Pinky Plankton, guided us on a lovely boat ride to search for Nina. Pinky made the ride fun - interacting with the children, and educated us all about how to protect our oceans. The boat ride was an hour and fifteen minutes. The perfect amount of time for young children. The boat is comfortable and holds approximately 20 to 25 people. Once Nina was found, she stayed in character the entire time. Even when the evil Professor Al G tried to kidnap her. Nina explained how to protect the ocean and encouraged questions from children and adults too. When I was scheduling this excursion, I thought it was a little pricey, but after the experience was over (and watching how much fun my daughter had) I changed my mind and realized it was worth every penny! We took this boat ride to meet Nina over a month ago and my daughter is still talking about it! Highly recommend!

We came on Sunday when they have an adult promo access that includes a Pizza and soda. A very good deal overall The different attractions and games are very well maintained and orderly. Although, I was tired after the first 30 minutes, My 4 year old nephew had the best time of is life and kept running around and going on every slide for the full 2 hours . You do need to buy their socks and they do not accept identical socks from other similar attractions , but you get to re-use them at least when you visit again. They also do adult parties, which might be a lot of fun for groups looking for some adventure

Chase was the nicest young man who got us checked in effortlessly and was so helpful when I needed to buy my daughter a T-shirt to change into. Our hostesses, Ava and Raven, were nothing short of spectacular. Our entire party was well taken care of and they were SO polite! It's not often I see teens/young adults with the work ethic I witnessed from not only them, but everyone I encountered who works there. I made a point to speak with the manager, Jamie to let her know that she was doing an incredible job with her staff. If you need a child friendly event to host I highly recommend Adrenaline Monkey. We will definitely be back!!

Very very disappointed in this facility. I was unsure if it was a "play gym" or preschool…read morefacility. Very small!! Only about 60ft x 40ft space. We called the day before we went to ensure it was an "open gym" for Monday, 5/23. The women who answered said it was. We arrived at 10 and were surprised to see an organized class going on. The women stepped away from her group and signed us in and charged $12. Other than being very small and there already being a class of 6 kids, not a lot of space. The women "teaching", clearly NOT a certified teacher or child care provider. Was RUDE! She didn't say two full sentences to me the entire time. She hardly said 10 to her class. Her ton was VERY unpleasant and she appeared to be very unhappy and even irritated at all the kids. Dispute the "supervision" the kids in the class had no supervision.... They were left to "play" with little to no adult supervision. The women just walked about playing some "kid" songs from The cell phone in her pocket. If your paying for "preK" with this person or facility I'd suggest you spend a day here and see what they are doing. In the two hours we were there to play open gym they class played music, wrote their name once and ate lunch. Again with little to NO teacher guidance. Yikes.... We will not be retuning. Upon leaving I asked the women; said her name was Kim, if they were a licensed childcare facility. She said no. I asked if she was licensed to reach? She said no. I then ask; well what are you doing here, are you mot providing child care or teaching. She said "No, this is my PreK class." I said what? So your not licensed at all for teaching or childcare but you have this group of 6 you are providing care for. I told her it was obvious she WAS NOT licensed and left. BEWARE IF YOU COME HERE!!!

I wish there were other kids for my son to interact with when we went but I also appreciate the social distancing. We will without a doubt be back for more play time!

Parents and grandparents were included in the fun and laughter. A great time for very young and slightly older children.

My wife and I were scheduling our annual vacation in HHI and decided to stay in Bluffton a few days…read morebefore heading over to the Island. I saw the Old Town Bluffton Inn and we gave it a try. WHAT A GREAT PLACE! When you walk in, you think you are in a building that was built in the early 1900s, yet it is only 6 years old. Old charm with modern amenities! The staff was so friendly and the happy hour each day let you mingle with others. Adults only so it was quiet and comfortable. The morning breakfast was very good and rotated daily. We parked our car on Thursday and didn't get in it until Saturday when we went over to HHI. Right in the middle of everything and everything is walking distance. Shopping, dining, etc! Definitely THE PLACE to stay when visiting Bluffton.

My wife and I were in the area for something work related last week and we spent a night at this beautiful spot on the center of town. From the outside this building looks older than anything in my current city (in a good way) and the inside is absolutely stunning from the hallways and lounge area to the rooms themselves. We arrived in town a little early so we decided to call the front desk to see if we would be able to check in early and they immediately said yes. When we got to the hotel and parked, the staff were quite possibly the nicest and most helpful people I have ever met in my life. They were so kind and made the entire process super quick and easy, and the best part? A DOG! There's a little white dog who loves belly rubs and high fives that I very much enjoyed hanging out with anytime I was in the lobby. The room itself was a solid size and had two twin beds, some wonderful furniture, and a TV which is everything I could possibly want out of a simple room. Overall, The Bluffton Inn was a five star experience from the moment we checked in till the moment we checked out. With amazing staff, clean rooms, and even complimentary snacks, breakfast, and beverages in the lobby staying at this place in the future is an absolute no brainer.
