Graciela CornellWormsloe Historic Site is a charming place to visit and offers plenty to see and explore. As soon as you arrive, you'll find a small gift shop where you can purchase souvenirs, rent bicycles, or catch the tram that takes visitors farther into the property. While the tram is convenient, I highly recommend walking the famous avenue of majestic live oak trees draped in Spanish moss—it's the highlight of the visit and absolutely breathtaking. Inside the property, there's a small museum with interesting exhibits about the site's history. Don't expect to see a grand plantation house, as only the original tabby ruins remain, but the ruins themselves offer a fascinating glimpse into Georgia's colonial past. At the back of the property, you'll also find a peaceful overlook of the marshlands that's well worth the walk. If you're visiting during the summer, be prepared for the heat and humidity—they can be intense. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of water, and take your time enjoying the scenery. Overall, Wormsloe Historic Site is a beautiful and historic destination that's well worth a visit while in Savannah.

Aitana GallegoYou have to pay an entrance fee, which also includes parking. There is a shop where you can buy magnets, shirts, and souvenirs, and the architecture combines a modern design with the natural, wooded surroundings. The ticket also includes a ride on small tractor-style vehicles that pull several seats behind. These run every 30 minutes and have a guide who explains the tour along the way. The museum itself is not very big or particularly impressive. However, what stands out is the beautiful tree-lined path from the entrance to the museum. The trees are very old and have a stunning natural shape. Once you arrive, you can also visit nearby ruins just a short walk away. Overall, the museum itself is nothing too special. You also have the option to rent bicycles, which I recommend if you want to take the classic photo along the tree-covered path. The restrooms were very clean and had accessibility for people with disabilities.

CA SunOur visit to Wormsloe State Historic Site with our dog Billy was absolutely unforgettable—one of those places that feels almost surreal in its beauty. Driving through the iconic avenue of live oaks was a moment we’ll never forget. The trees form this breathtaking natural tunnel, draped in Spanish moss that sways gently in the breeze, creating a scene that feels straight out of a movie. It’s the kind of entrance that immediately makes you slow down and take it all in. As we explored the grounds, the experience only got better. The walking paths wind through peaceful maritime forest and open up to stunning views of the marsh, where the landscape stretches endlessly under big coastal skies. Along the way, you’ll find remnants of Georgia’s colonial history, including the tabby ruins of the original estate, which add a fascinating and meaningful layer to the visit. Everything about Wormsloe feels calm, spacious, and steeped in history. It’s the perfect mix of natural beauty and storytelling, where you can take your time wandering, learning, and just enjoying the surroundings. Having Billy with us made it even more special. It’s such a joy to be able to share a place this scenic and serene together, and the open space made for a relaxed and memorable outing. If you’re anywhere near Savannah, this is an absolute must-see. Between the iconic oak-lined drive, the peaceful trails, and the rich history, Wormsloe State Historic Site delivers an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

Jordan EssigWe had a wonderful time exploring Wormsloe. While you can choose to walk the grounds, taking the shuttle through the iconic path of 440 massive oak trees was both informative and enjoyable. They’ve recently updated their shuttles, which made for a comfortable experience even though they are wooden bench seats. They run every 30 minutes, take you to the museum and trails, and the ride itself lasts about 15–20 minutes each way. After the ride, we spent some time in the small museum which was cute and took the trail out to the Colonial Life Area. It’s a nice walk through the forest with plenty of fresh air and different kinds of birds that really adds to the visit. The Colonial Life Area was small so don’t expect a large village or anything. We also managed to find a few things in the gift shop, which has a surprisingly good selection. Definitely a highlight if you're looking for that classic, historic, and forest atmosphere!

Tami FosterThis was such an interesting tour. Really fascinating history. Beautiful!! I would have loved the 1.5 mile walk, however the trailer ride was nice as it was extremely hot & humid, the guide on the ride was good, but I was really hoping for more history on the place. There were lots of signs to read & the most fascinating thing I learned other than this is NOT where they filmed Forest Gump - was NOT to touch the Spanish moss. They said there is “red bug” in it that will burrow into your skin & give you a nasty rash!! Good to know since Spanish moss is all over Savannah!!
