The tour was fascinating as it provided a glimpse into pre-war and post- war (civil) history and how it changed not only socio-economics but also lifestyles.

Family descendants still occupy the third floor! Some scenes from the Outer Banks Netflix show are filmed in the house. The porches are incredibly beautiful. Great views of the ocean. I do wish we could have seen more rooms. There were a total of about 7 rooms, plus staircase/foyer and the 2nd story porch on the tour. A very cool artifact that hangs on the wall...the South Carolina secession ordinance (of 100 that were originally printed in 1860). Definitely a good way to experience one of the mansions from that period.

We very much enjoyed our visit to the Aiken-Rhett House. The guided tour was very well done, and…read moreour tour guide was knowledgeable and informative throughout the experience. We appreciated learning not only about the home and the family who lived in the home, but also about the enslaved people connected to the property and their lives. The preserved nature of the house provides an authentic experience. There were, however, a couple of distractions that took away from the experience. Early in the presentation, the tour guide was drinking a soda and repeatedly belched while speaking to the group, which felt somewhat unprofessional and made the presentation less enjoyable. We also did not care for the indigo art installation displayed throughout parts of the home. In our opinion, the artwork distracted from the preservation-focused experience that makes the house so interesting. Having modern art pieces placed among the furnishings made it harder to fully appreciate the rooms as historical spaces and also made it difficult to take clean photographs of the home itself. Overall, though, this was still a worthwhile visit, and we are glad we included it during our time in Charleston.

I absolutely loved this house and the three star rating has nothing to do with the preservation and…read moreI very much respect the opinion of others to leave the house as it was found but in MHO preservation also means to keep it in good repair as it was once kept in its original grandeur state or social importance. A few more years and the decay to the elements will bring this house to the ground. If you compare this house to the mansion in the Magnolia Plantation you can see what I mean, restoration doesn't necessarily mean modernizing the house with today's comforts like AC but actually preserve it so future generations can have an idea of how the house looked and functioned back in the years. It is not about the 16 dollar entrance fee but I would rather pay more to see what the house looked like in the splendor of the Chas boom rather than what it looked when the family moved out, moreover if the family was going through hard times and couldn't keep it up in good repair I am sure it was better than today and every day that goes by and for respect to the family the Charleston Museum owes some effort to make it look better not just show it as bad as it looks, just rain seeping through cracks and windows is little by little deteriorating it's appearance until some day it will be a parking lot. Our tour took almost two hours TMI

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.
