Brookgreen Gardens is primary reason to visit. It was constructed by the Huntingtons as a sculpture/art garden for the wife,
There is also a historical section recently added to interpret the slave life of the five rice plantations acquired by the Huntingtons to create Brookgreen. There was a very interesting boat trip to see how the rice plantations operated. Slave housing has also been replicated.
Entry ticket is for multiple days so you can do the art section one day and historical areas the next. be careful around the realistic animal sculptures. My wife walked up to investigate a "carved" alligator and then realized it was a real one, just in time!!
