Charles Towne Landing Park is located on the original site where English settlers landed in 1670 and set up the first permanent European settlement in South Carolina. The park boasts a 12-room exhibit hall with interactive exhibits, a replica of a 17th-century sailing ship, an Animal Forest natural habitat zoo, and a gift shop. Tour the ship, take a peek at otters, bears, bison and more, walk a history trail (self-guided with audio), or rent a bike for use on the 7 miles of paved and unpaved trails. All this, for a small admission fee!

1670, the first English colonists landed on this spot, just across the Ashley River from downtown Charleston, and promptly named their new town for King Charles II. Charles Towne Landing's exhibits expertly re-create what life was like for those early settlers: the fort they built, the wooden palisade wall they erected to keep out enemies, the crops they planted to feed their colony, and a full-size replica of a 17th-century cargo vessel, one they would have used to ferry supplies and provisions. There's also an animal forest where you can see native species that the settlers would have encountered in their new home at South Carolina's first colonial settlement. Recommended for Outdoor Activities because: This National Historic Site is located just a short drive from downtown, and is the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Carolinas. Check the Charles Towne Landing website for special events such as musket-firing demonstrations and family movie nights in summer.
