My friend and I went here on a rainy day a couple of weekends ago. We went on a Sunday. We had a lot of time before our flight and were looking for something to do indoors since it was raining. The cost was $12 for an adult. There is a small fee if you pay with credit card. The museum isn’t very big but it is nice. There are a lot of cool artifacts and information about Savannah. Towards the end is the iconic bench from Forest Gump. There is also a cute gift shop to pick up some souvenirs. For the price I think it is definitely worth visiting. We had a nice time!

We really enjoyed our time at the Savannah History Museum! We went on a weekday, so other than one relatively quick group of noisy elementary school kids (they weren't bad, just kids being kids), we wandered through the exhibits at a leisurely pace without feeling crowded or rushed. Individually, each exhibit is fairly small, but that makes for easy pacing, and I think it makes it better for families and kids as it keeps things informative and interestingwithout being overwhelming. There's still a ton to learn, and their Jazz exhibition was especially nice! Also, the gift shop is nice (though predictably high in price), and it was especially neat to find a Gullah New Testament there.

Great experience, a very interesting exhibition of the history of Savannah. The volunteers were very kind and helpful.

There were so many informative displays and even a film being shown in a theater. We learned so much in one visit. The staff were wonderful and took time to fully answer any questions we had. I didn't know the park bench from the Forest Gump movie was here.

My husband and I recently visited the Savannah History Museum in mid May of 2026. The greeter was very well informed about the early history of Savannah. Of particular note for us was the historical context exhibits of Savannah and world wide events as well as the Juliette Gordon Low exhibit. Well worth the $12 per person admission.
