Finding the plantation

Boone Hall is on Long Point Road in Mount Pleasant, about eight miles from downtown Charleston. The entrance leads along the Avenue of Oaks.

• By car or taxi: Boone Hall is about eight miles from downtown Charleston, on Long Point Road in Mount Pleasant.
• On arrival: you will receive a gate sheet with the day’s tour times.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• The Butterfly Cafe, with snacks, sandwiches, barbecue and ice cream.
• Picnic tables outside for food you bring.
• Video tours of the house and the tractor tour, on site.
• Same-day re-entry with your admission receipt.

Wear comfortable shoes for grass and sandy paths, and bring sun protection. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The grounds are grass and compacted sand, so electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters manage them best. The house has about six entry steps and steps between rooms; a chair can be provided in each room, and video tours of the house and the tractor tour are available on site.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask the tour guide on the front porch of the house if you would like a chair in each room.

Visit the plantation thoughtfully

• Photography is welcome on the grounds and in the gardens, but not inside the house.
• Drones are not allowed on the property.
• Pets must be on a lead on the grounds and are not allowed in the house, on the tractor tour or in the café.
• Leave the trees, buildings and exhibits untouched, and supervise children.
• The cabins tell the history of people who were enslaved here; visit them with respect.

A little care helps protect Boone Hall and its history for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Butterfly Cafe sells snacks, drinks, sandwiches, barbecue and ice cream, and picnic tables outside are open to visitors who bring their own food.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

You can leave for lunch and return the same day with your admission receipt.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: drive in along the Avenue of Oaks and follow your ticket’s instructions.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, sun protection and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: Boone Hall suggests three to four hours to see the tours and the grounds.
