In the early 18th century, cotton plantations were enormously profitable and a giant of Charleston's lowcountry cotton farming was this stunningly beautiful estate. Boone Hall is one of the oldest working, living plantations. Instead of cotton, now they produce peaches, strawberries, tomatoes and pumpkins. During certain seasons guests are allowed to pick their own food. Boone Hall is an understandably popular setting for weddings, and has been featured in several movies. The world-famous Avenue of Oaks and the plantation house alone make this a worthwhile tour. Open all year except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Admission for adults: USD17.50. Children: USD7.50. Children 5 and under are free. See their website for operating hours and further information.

Just not worth it.
By Bummed in Beaufort, 01/16/10
Not an old plantation. Not one single thing - except the trees - that is original.
 
 
 
 
 
WOW! A MUST SEE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/24/09
So much for so little money. This place was gorgeous. Look for discount coupons at Charleston Visitors Center. Great learning experience for children and adults. Tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Word of caution..bring some OFF or bug repellent and dress appropriately for weather (I didn't)
 
 
 
 
 
Stay Away !!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/18/09
I'm wondering if the positive posters went to the same place I did. Total rip off. Hidden fees after you pay and I doubt the authenticity of the slave quarters. The trees were nice but the main attraction is the mansion. You see 3 rooms and a hallway. The guide is very disingenuous never mentioning any dates. Reason; the house was built in 1936 My house in Jersey is older !!! If anyone goes, please ask the guide (when she meets the group at the front door) about the date. Watch her flubber bluster. That's the best experience at BOOne.
 
 
 
 
 
Not Impressed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/11/09
The price of admission IS average, however, I have been to MANY other plantions in several other states and you get to see much more of the house. This was very dissapointing, only three rooms in a house that is younger than what most of us grew up in! I think it is false advertising that they only tell you when the house was built AFTER you paid to see this "authentic" plantation home. I would spend my money elsewhere!
 
 
 
 
 
Azalea heaven
By Roberta, 04/04/09
I loved it! Beautiful piece of history. The Gullah Theater is a must-see event. Even though the house was built in 1935, it incorporates the spirit of the Southern Plantation. They carefully used materials from the former structures and from the brickyard that had been there before. Yes, it's a little pricey, but I'd do it again. Disappointing that the gin house is not restored.

Boone Plantation don't bother
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/06/09
Very expensive to see 3 rooms and listen to self guided tour of grounds that were in state of repair, restaurant and shop not open, house not original and in need of upkeep. Try for another plantation and pass this one up.

Not what I expected.
By Jordan, 02/02/09
It is a beautiful place but for the price of admission and the fact that you don't get to see the entire house it is disappointing. I was also shocked by the picture of the original house. The home that is there now looks nothing like the original home. And the home we toured is really not that old. I believe it was built in the 1950's. I think it is a nice place but a little pricey for what you get to see.

A disappointment
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/22/09
Three rooms is all that you can see of the plantation home. We walked around the grounds and saw the slave cabins but that was it. For the price of admission is a ripoff.

Waste of Money!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/19/09
This is a waste of money. You get to see three rooms in the mansion! Our tour guide kept telling us that he was a volunteer and tips would be appreciated!!! Save your money! The driveway is beautiful but not worth the price!

if i wanted to see a home from the 50's i'd go to my grandparents home.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/28/07
The best and only good part about this plantation is the driveway. Its gorgeous lined with those old, mysterious trees. Those trees were what convinced us to visit. AAAANNND end good part. The bad parts? The home is boasted to be this old mansion, what you really get is an old lady who looks like she just wanted to play dress-up taking you into four rooms and showing you items from around the 1950's. The home itself is only from the 1950's. No histroy here. Actually- the more our group asked questions, the shadier this place got. The gardens were poor at best. My backyard looked better. And beware of bees. Our group was chased out of the garden by a flock of them. Nice way to end a visit. My advice? Go to Middleton Place.
