Tanning Oasis

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.

The kids who visit the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry are highly encouraged to reach out and touch whatever catches their interest. This attraction is a truly inviting place that welcomes curious minds and hands that aren't afraid to grab hold of various exhibits to get a better look at how it all is put together. The children are welcome to explore a castle, dig in the garden, get wet with waterworks and even experience what it's like to be on a shrimping boat! There are always special classes and presentations scheduled, so check back regularly, and bring your little ones for a museum visit they will never forget.

Enjoy the best of both worlds at the North Charleston Wannamaker County Park. The kids will love running free in the expansive park that spreads out over 1,000 acres. The park features various terrains for the kids to explore that include paved and unpaved trails and spacious fields for any type of sport they choose. The attraction also features picnic tables, a snack bar, playgrounds, restrooms and lots of parking. Plus, the area features a water park that offers many rides for all ages. To make visiting the aquatic adventure more convenient, there are also changing rooms and water equipment rentals available.
