Cypress Gardens

Fodor's Review:

Explore the inky swamp waters of Cypress Gardens in a complimentary flat-bottom boat; walk along paths lined with moss-draped cypress trees, azaleas, camellias, daffodils, wisteria, and dogwood; and marvel at the clouds of butterflies in the butterfly house. The swamp garden was created from what was once the freshwater reserve of the vast Dean Hall rice plantation. It's about 24 mi north of Charleston via U.S. 52, between Goose Creek and Moncks Corner.
