Our visit to Coastal Discovery Museum was unplanned and sporadic. It’s worth a planned visit though. The staff was knowledgeable and the exhibits provided a lot interesting information on the area. The outdoor marsh boardwalks were enjoyable too.

Fun for all. We were able to experience the critter meet and greet which was a lot of fun for my 9 year old. We also explored some of the grounds, learned a lot in the museum, and went into the butterfly experience.

We spent a great morning with our grandkids at the Coastal Discovery Museum. Entrance was free, donations accepted. There is a scavenger hunt for kids - that takes you all around the grounds to explore the various features. We dropped by the Barn to meet the horses. The girls learned all about loggerhead sea turtles and completed a free craft. We stopped by the carnivorous plant exhibit and learned about the Venus Fly Trap (native to the area.)

i took my two grandchildren ages 3 & 5 to the drop in live animal classroom. it was maned by two knowledgeable volunteers who informed us about the baby alligators horseshoe crabs bees turtles etc . there were hands on activities on the tables that the children could bring home with them. we spent an hour in the classroom and then explored the active butterfly garden. we all loved it ! go!!

We booked three tours through the museum and each one was excellent. Spent a day on Daufuskie Island on our golf cart, did a history tour of Hilton Head, then did a Gullah tour. Each tour was unique, professional and excellent. Then we spent time at the museum, walked around the walking path, got fruit at the Farmers’ Market and thoroughly enjoyed our activities and visit.

We toured the Museum and grounds and found it quite interesting. We also took the Blue Crab Discovery tour with Carol Horowitz who was a knowledgeable and friendly guide, and the Dolphin and Nature Cruise which was a blast. Both were excellent and well worth the cost of admission!

Absolutely worth a visit! The museum is informative concerning local culture, and preservation. It’s sits on a stunning property with beautiful, old growth trees and an amazing camellia garden. The employees are knowledgeable and welcoming, and really seem to want guests to get the best experience possible. Bonus is the farmers market held on Tuesday mornings which was small but had some great options for art, produce and gift items.

The museum has a number of good exhibits focusing on the Hilton Head area and the salt marshes. I also had booked a tour of the surrounding historic Honey Horn plantation. The docent, Ken, did a great job showing me and explaining both the marsh and upland areas. The extensive Camellia Garden (over 135 species) was in bloom and beautiful.

Great way to spend a couple of hours on a pretty January day! Free museum and open grounds to visit with lots of information about the area's history. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful and proud of their museum. We were there while the camelias were in bloom on the grounds and they had over 100 types - very pretty. Small gift shop. Donations accepted to help defray the operating costs.
