School is out, the weather is magnificent, and daylight is abundant. Is there a better time of the year than summer for kids? Is there a better place to enjoy family-friendly fun than at Brookgreen Gardens?

Visitors to Brookgreen Gardens this summer will be treated to a display of larger than life illuminated silk sculptures. The flora and fauna of the Lowcountry will be displayed through hundreds of “lanterns” in 17 separate scenes in the tradition of extravagant Chinese Lantern Festivals.

There are few places richer in culture and charm than the South Carolina Lowcountry. From gardens and wildlife to historic landmarks and sculptures, this region along the state’s coast is as educational as it is inspiring. To make the most out of a trip to the Lowcountry, Brookgreen Gardens is a must.
