Top Charleston Attractions & Museums

The USS Yorktown is the WWII aircraft carrier in Charleston Harbor, and this group ghost tour takes you on board after the museum has closed and the crowds have disappeared. Hear the stories behind the sightings reported on board, from maritime superstitions to sailors who went missing, alongside the history of a ship commissioned in 1943 and crewed by more than 3,000 men who lived, fought, and died onboard.

As the oldest preserved plantation house in the country that’s still open to the public, Drayton Hall allows visitors to tour this early 1700s estate. Along with an admission ticket, this activity includes a guided tour of the estate as well as free time for you to take a self-guided stroll of the grounds. Drayton Hall is close to downtown Charleston and has free parking, making it a great activity for travelers short on time.
