Things To Do
Telfair & Jepson Art Museums
Wander the galleries at two of Savannah's finest art museums. The Telfair museum houses a collection of art from the 19th and 20th centuries, while the Jepson museum focuses primarily on modern art. One ticket will get you into both museums, as well as the Owens Thomas house.
Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum
Stop by this three story museum for an in-depth history into the Civil Rights Movement in Savannah.
Oatland Island Wildlife Center
Our venue is an active wildlife education center during the day (10am-4pm) - if you'd like to stop by and see their host of native animals, admission to the wildlife center is $5/person!
Skidaway Island State Park
If you feel like getting some easy exercise, Skidaway State Park is a beautiful park roughly 30 minutes from downtown Savannah. There are several easy trails stretching throughout the park to enjoy.
UGA Marine Extension Aquarium
This is a cute (but small) aquarium on the grounds at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography. Once you've finished looking at the critters, take the nature trail next to the aquarium for lovely views of the marsh and maritime forest.
Fort Pulaski
For the history buffs, this Civil War era fort has a wonderful guided tour that details the blockade of the Savannah Harbor. Stop by on your way to Tybee Beach!
Savannah National Wildlife Refuge
This wildlife refuge contains the freshwater portion of the Savannah river and is a wonderful place to spot alligators, turtles, and plenty of other wildlife. There are several trails throughout the refuge, though they are more strenuous and less shaded than others on this list (bring water!).
