What a surprising and beautiful place! Took a break from the beach to check it out on our last day in town. We spent 4 hours here and enjoyed the zoo, butterfly house and the sculptures. There was plenty of shade and areas out of the sun. Highly recommended this if you enjoy botanical gardens. The trees with the moss are totally breathtaking. The sculptures and gardens are so peaceful and beautiful. A great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas.

A must see when you're visiting Low County. You'll really get the feel for what the area looked like before it was developed as you walk through the beautifully maintained garden. The sculptures and artwork are spectacular and add to the depth of the garden experience. Make sure you see the butterflies when you're there, they are enlightening!

There are so many fun things to do with kids! We loved Mrs Millie! She was so informative or all of the animals and did such an amazing job capturing the attention of everyone that attended! We also did the boat ride and it was so much fun! This place is a MUST visit and has become a regular place we come to every time we’re down!

We were headed for the State park but they were at capacity so when we seen this place we pulled in and it was so lovely we opted for an annual pass. There is so much to do here we didn't even finish it all in one day. The gardens and nature trails are magical and the art installations are out of this world. There are lovely indoor galleries, a gift shop with the best honey and other nature's treasures and a really nice museum of sculptures. There are animals and historic markers to explore, smoothies at the cafe and staff are very friendly and eager to converse and inspire your return visit. We will definitely be going here a few times a month at least. Even just being here for lunch breaks from your busy day is worth the annual pass. Thankful the State park was full and we ended up here. My kiddo loves the playground and there is so much to do here even on a hot day. We visited right after the tropical storm and there was enough shade and indoor attractions to be here for a half day! 🙏🥰

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How can I get tickets to next years Night of a thousand candles?

Natosha Frye | Mar 30, 2018
SECoastal Breeze | Mar 31, 2018

They usually go on sale the end of Oct or beginning of Nov. The tickets can be purchased directly from the Brookgreen website. Since 2016, tickets must be purchased by date, so know the date you want to go before ordering. This is a wonderful event, and we make an adventure of it every year. Late lunch at Drunken Jacks, Brookgreen and then a late supper at Bistro 217, then spend the night at hampton inn , then shop the local shop (General Store & Artisan Alley , Hammock Shops and the Freckled Frog) then lunch in Georgetown at the River Room then home to Charleston. A great way for delightful memories among friends!

Brookgreen doesn't rent scooters, but there are a couple of businesses in MB that will rent scooters and wheelchairs and will deliver them. Brookgreen does have free push behind adult strollers available on a first come first serve basis, but they are too large to go into the inside galleries or restrooms, so they should not be considered an alternative to a wheelchair.

Hi, we do have an alligator in our Lowcountry Zoo, but he is very old and well-fenced. As any open areas in coastal SC, (golf courses, community ponds, etc) there is always the chance of seeing "wild" alligators. Our ponds all have signage warning guests to stay back from the edge of the water. We also keep a close eye out for any that may wander close to a public area and relocate them as needed. We have never had a problem.

Hi, Nights of a Thousand Candles is our largest fund raising event during the year and is very important to Brookgreen Gardens. Especially this year, with the impact of Hurricane Florence and the flooding. We are a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization and funds go to fulfill our missions of collecting, conserving, and protecting art, native plants and animals, and lowcountry history. Each year is a bit different. Guest favorites are usually brought back, but we are always looking for ways to improve and add new experiences and exhibits. Thanks for your question!

All our animals are secured and we have staff that will remain on-site during the storm to check on and feed as needed. Our emergency plans are part of our Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accreditation and have always kept our animals safe and under the least amount of stress possible. Thanks for caring about our animals!

Tripods are fine during regular garden hours. We don't allow them during crowded events like Nights of a Thousand Candles. We also ask that you not set up in planting beds or block paths. Commercial photography is not allowed. You are welcome to take photographs for your personal use, not to be used for sale.

Do you have wheel chairs

Fran Rinaldi | Mar 30, 2019
Deanna Mapes | Mar 31, 2019

They did not have any, but had adult strollers, if you want to call it that, but a limited number and you couldn't reserve them, so when they are gone, you have to wait until someone turns one back in. The volunteer staff there is very helpful and super nice. I am sure they can help you with a quick phone call. It is a great place to spend a few hours and very handicap accessible.

Do they do military discounts

Brookgreen Gardens has no control over the installation of a traffic light. SC Department of Transportation makes those determinations on where signals are needed. We would like to have a signal there, but it isn’t our call.

Between the cost to get into the Gardens initially then to pay another $8 for adults/$4 k t in to the dinosaurs exhibition.....is ridiculous!!! So not worth it!!! We've waited months to take an 8 yr old boy here & he even thought it was "lame"!!!

Janet Davis | Mar 30, 2018
mariajuliana montoya | Mar 31, 2018

I enjoyed the gardens, the galleries, the art and the zoo. We skip the dinosaurs mainly because we didn't want to pay again.

Are there benches to sit on along the paths during the night of candles? What is the distance that is decorated? A mile or more?

Janet Farrell | Mar 30, 2018
Henry Reynolds | Mar 31, 2018

There are benches here and there, but I wouldn't say everywhere. It's a very well attended event so it can be difficult to find a place to sit. You can easily spend an hour to two walking through the gardens. I agree with above, I'd say it could be a mile of walking zig zag through the gardens. You can plan to eat there and that can give you some down time.

Nights of a Thousand Candles runs from Nov 30- Dec 17. I don't know how similar it would be to what you saw in NC, but it's beautiful!
