🌴 Hike the TRACK Trails & Explore Cypress Gardens
Fun ways to explore Cypress Gardens and other parks in the Lowcountry as a family.
To Do: Take a Hike on the TRACK Trails

We’re lucky to have one of South Carolina’s beautiful attractions, Cypress Gardens, in the neighboring town of Monks Corner. If you’ve watched the Notebook, Outer Banks, The Patriot (among other shows/movies), you glimpsed the beauty of Cypress Gardens. The Gardens include a butterfly house, bird exhibit, Swamparium, boating, and a play area. And now they have a brand new attraction that’s perfect for the family, the new TRACK Trail that opened on August 17th.
TRACK Trails are an initiative of Kids in Parks to give kids an engaging and fun way to explore nature. When you visit the Kids in Parks site, you’ll see a variety of trail adventures with e-Adventures and brochures that give your kids goals while they walk a trail.
Kids can log each adventure to win free prizes.
Nearby we have TRACK Trails at Rosebrock Park in Summerville, Wannamaker Park in North Charleston, Old Santee Canal Park in Monks Corner, and now Cypress Gardens in Monks Corner.
The e-Adventures at Cypress Gardens include “Bug Out,” “Flower Power,” “Nature’s Hide and Seek,” and “Birds.” The brochures you can download include activities to learn about ponds, flowers, nature cycles, and the birds specific to Cypress Gardens.

Cypress Gardens admission is free for children 5 and under, $5 for ages 6-17, and $10 for other ages. The Gardens are open seven days a week from 9am-5pm with last admission at 4pm.
