If the heat is getting to be too much for you, cool off in style at Charleston's Splash Zone. This water attraction features both tube-style and open, 200-foot slides while also providing a children's Caribbean play area with slides, wheels and sprays that are more suited to the park's younger visitors. If you prefer to just lounge and enjoy the scenery, float along the 500-foot lazy river which offers some unexpected fun with sprays and a big waterfall along the wet and wild route.
The Gibbes Museum of Art has worked hard to earn the respect of both critics and art lovers as it has consistently striven to present the work of some of the most influential artists in America that date as far back as the 16th century.. More significantly, they appropriately focus on some of South Carolina's most famous artists like Peale, Sully and West, whose works are prominently displayed in this impressive and well-designed facility.
The Charleston Stage Company lives up to the magnitude of its name, offering entertainment for the whole family. Founded in 1978 by playwright Julian Wiles, this venue is the state's largest professional theater company in operation and it resides in the city's equally impressive Dock Street Theatre. The quality of their productions is quite impressive as the performers and directors are not only seasoned professionals but also meticulous when it comes to honing their craft to the finest detail. Shows such as Chicago, Inga Binga and more are slated throughout the season, and special workshops and presentations for children are also slated at various times of the year.
If your kids love to have fun in the sun, there's no better place to let them run wild than Folly Beach, affectionately known as "The Edge of America."

Showers, bathrooms and other conveniences are close by, and the sand, surf and sun of this popular stretch of beach will fast become one of your family's traditions whenever you're in Charleston.
