I can't believe we haven't gone before

We have gone to Myrtle Beach every year for the last 10 years and this was our first time visiting Brookgreen Gardens. I can't believe it took us this long. It sits on an old plantation. You can take guided tours and learn some history...More

Fantastic Botanical and Sculpture Gardens

OK. I'm a self-confessed botanical gardens nerd, so I have seen a lot of them. This place was HUGE. I was there a bit past the spring bloom, so there weren't as many flowers as I had expected. But there was so much more to...More

Beautiful!

Such an awesome place to visit. Lots of beautiful grounds, waterworks and sculptures. They also have a butterfly house and shuttle tour. Even the gift shop is beautiful. Lots of shade on a hot day and very friendly staff.

Beautiful and lots to see

The gardens are beautiful and so are the sculptures. I recommend the garden tour. There is a tram to take you around to the different areas. We also enjoyed the creek tour and the birds in the zoo area

Is the whole area wheelchair accessible including the boat ride?

Response from Lauren J | Property representative |
Hi there, Yes most of the gardens are wheelchair accessible and the boat ride is also. Brookgreen has three wheel adult "strollers" that may be easier to push through some of the garden pathways.
