Such a fun experience, and a must when visiting Tybee. Lots of beautiful views, and loads of history. Many interactive chances, walking up the to the top, listening to the videos (in AC!), and QR codes on exhibits that pull up YouTube videos. Don’t forget to walk across the street to the other museum, it’s included in your ticket. My favorite part was actually being able to walk inside all around the lightkeeper’s house; even upstairs. Free parking!
Aug 2, 2026 · Google ReviewGreat Climb if you enjoy Lighthouses. The tickets include several historical buildings onsite and a museum across the road. Also offers a Teacher Discount! Other discounts for military and veterans are also available. I climbed with 2 boys, 7&9, who can be a little rambunctious. The historian did an amazing job using a long cardboard tube to explain the importance of being quiet and it worked! Never heard my kids do such a great job whispering the whole way up. Once up there were amazing views and a terrific breeze. We went in the morning which I recommend especially in the summer heat.
Jul 11, 2026 · Google ReviewNo backpacks allowed. There was not a gift shop. Good access around outside the tower and keeper houses to take pictures. Have to pay admission to get close to the structures. If there was a gift shop in one of the structures that we did not notice, then you must pay a fee to shop there as it was inside the admittance area. Enjoy!
Jul 1, 2026 · Google Review178 Steps to the top and worth it for the view! Quite hot inside and continuous stairs so plan for proper footwear and clothing if you are visiting in the warmer months. Definitely recommend. Also, there is free parking for the museum and light house, we didnt realize this before paying for parking elsewhere so save your money and use their parking lot.
