So much for so little money. This place was gorgeous. Look for discount coupons at Charleston Visitors Center. Great learning experience for children and adults. Tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Word of caution..bring some OFF or bug repellent and dress appropriately for weather (I didn't)

I'm wondering if the positive posters went to the same place I did. Total rip off. Hidden fees after you pay and I doubt the authenticity of the slave quarters. The trees were nice but the main attraction is the mansion. You see 3 rooms and a hallway. The guide is very disingenuous never mentioning any dates. Reason; the house was built in 1936 My house in Jersey is older !!! If anyone goes, please ask the guide (when she meets the group at the front door) about the date. Watch her flubber bluster. That's the best experience at BOOne.

The price of admission IS average, however, I have been to MANY other plantions in several other states and you get to see much more of the house. This was very dissapointing, only three rooms in a house that is younger than what most of us grew up in! I think it is false advertising that they only tell you when the house was built AFTER you paid to see this "authentic" plantation home. I would spend my money elsewhere!

I loved it! Beautiful piece of history. The Gullah Theater is a must-see event. Even though the house was built in 1935, it incorporates the spirit of the Southern Plantation. They carefully used materials from the former structures and from the brickyard that had been there before.

Very expensive to see 3 rooms and listen to self guided tour of grounds that were in state of repair, restaurant and shop not open, house not original and in need of upkeep. Try for another plantation and pass this one up.

It is a beautiful place but for the price of admission and the fact that you don't get to see the entire house it is disappointing. I was also shocked by the picture of the original house. The home that is there now looks nothing like the original home. And the home we toured is really not that old. I believe it was built in the 1950's. I think it is a nice place but a little pricey for what you get to see.

Three rooms is all that you can see of the plantation home. We walked around the grounds and saw the slave cabins but that was it. For the price of admission is a ripoff.

This is a waste of money. You get to see three rooms in the mansion! Our tour guide kept telling us that he was a volunteer and tips would be appreciated!!! Save your money! The driveway is beautiful but not worth the price!

The best and only good part about this plantation is the driveway. Its gorgeous lined with those old, mysterious trees. Those trees were what convinced us to visit.

Boone Hall is an idea. I've walked the sandy surface of the Oak lined drive and felt that I had truly stepped back in time. My first trip was in 1989 and my second was in 2002. I love them both. I did miss the pergolas covered with wisteria, but nothing lasts forever. Please remember that it cost a fortune to run this place, so a trip in February (Winter)is not going to be as gracious as one in June. Also this place is full of history, it is not an amusement park--it's a home. I would love to work/live in such an awesome place!!
