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.

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!

TryciaDriving down the avenue at Wormsloe feels like stepping back in time. The centuries-old live oaks create a majestic, ethereal canopy, with Spanish moss draping over the branches like silver veils. It’s more than just a beautiful sight; it’s a hauntingly serene atmosphere that defines the heart of coastal Georgia. These are the prices of admission that you can just purchase on site. Adults (ages 18–61): $12.00 Seniors (ages 62+): $9.00 Youth (ages 6–17): $5.75 Children (under 6): $3.25 They will load you up on an open-air tram pulled by a tractor with a guide to narrate your 1.5 mile journey through the oak trees. We went on a weekday in August and it was super hot so make sure you are dressed accordingly and bring a hand fan and drinks if necessary. They have indoor restrooms on site and they so have cold drinks for sale at the gift shop there. We loved it here and I would definitely recommend visiting if you ever find yourselves in Savannah, Georgia.

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!!
