Educational opportunities can be found around every corner as this area is rich in history and culture.

One of the most popular attractions in the area is Cypress Gardens.

The price of admission includes entrance into the gardens, flat bottom boat rides in the swamps, a freshwater aquarium, various wildlife exhibits, and walking paths throughout. Visitors can expect to spend anywhere from 3-4 hours at the gardens, depending on their pace as well as their desire to see everything that is offered. If you are new to the area, consider taking the time to really learn what is in the state of South Carolina.
