Allie A: You almost need to spend the whole day here to really cover everything! The staff was very informative, and the national park app has audio tours. Even though this was a place where so many lost their lives, its a peaceful place to visit.
Grim_lens: My partner and I recently visited Mother Goose Village, and it was truly a magical experience. Having fond memories of this place from childhood, I was thrilled to see that it still holds the same charm and wonder after all these years.
From the moment we arrived, it was like stepping into a nostalgic fairytale. Every corner of the village was beautifully maintained, with vibrant colors, whimsical details, and a sense of enchantment that made us feel like kids again. The attention to detail in the displays and storytelling elements brought back so many cherished memories.
One of the best things about Mother Goose Village is how well-kept it remains. Even after all this time, the village still feels alive and full of magic. It’s clear that a lot of love and care goes into preserving its charm, making it just as delightful for new visitors as it is for those returning from childhood.
Overall, our visit was an absolute joy. Whether youre reliving childhood memories or experiencing it for the first time, Mother Goose Village is a must-visit destination. I’m so glad we got to see it again—it remains a wonderful, timeless treasure.
Jennifer Hennequant: This is run by the Civil War Railroad Tunnel.
The whole complex is spread out, and worth seeing each area. Some parts like the recreated general store have to be set up in advance. So much history here! Worth taking a picnic lunch and relaxing on the grounds.
The covered bridge is neat to drive through.
If walking is a concern, there is parking outside of the Clisby house, the museum, and the tunnel.
For some education prior to visiting consider watching the Great Locomotive Chase, or read up in it.
Melissa Jack: Okefenokee Adventure Park is an incredible place to explore, and at just $5 per person for a full week of access, it’s an amazing value. We could have easily spent multiple days here soaking in the beauty of the swamp.
We took the 90-minute guided boat tour, and it was fantastic. The calm, relaxing ride was full of fascinating sights—alligators, turtles, birds, and all kinds of plant life. It was engaging enough to keep our 3- and 2-year-olds entertained the whole time, which is no small feat!
Beyond the water, there’s plenty more to see. The short hike along the canal was great, and the Chester Boardwalk was a highlight. The 1.5-mile round-trip walk includes little stop-off points to rest and take in the scenery, all fully handicap accessible. The observation tower at the end gives a stunning view over the swamp.
Swamp Island Drive was another favorite. It’s a slow, scenic drive where you can spot tons of wildlife—definitely take your time so you don’t miss anything!
Overall, we loved this place and highly recommend it. Whether you’re boating, hiking, or just taking in the sights, Okefenokee is a truly special adventure.
cnelson14850: An awesome, must see, for fans of the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The tour was entertaining and very informative about the history of the house. The inside of the house is stunning and filled with a diverse collection of art. This was the highlight of our visit to Savannah. (No photography is allowed in the house.)
Connie Tronnes: $27 Senior ticket gives access to all 4 buildings for a full week. All within walking distance of the others. Great value for your money. Educational as well as beautiful experiences.
