3. Warren Lasch Conservation Center - H.L. Hunley Submarine
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 831 reviews
The Hunley became the world's first successful combat submarine in 1864 with the sinking of the USS Housatonic. After making world history, she mysteriously vanished. Lost at sea for over a century, she was finally found in 1995 and then raised from the ocean floor in 2000. Since then, scientists have been at work to conserve the legendary submarine and solve the mystery of her disappearance. Tours of the Hunley include viewing the Hunley in her 75,000 conservation tank, facial reconstructions of the crew, and interactive exhibits that tell the submarine's fascinating tale throughout the centuries.

Tanger Outlet is a great place to shop given the amount of stores and choices you are able to walk through without driving in traffic. The whole place is kept clean so it's nice to walk. I also enjoy the location in relation to the airport. The views are awesome of incoming and outgoing aircraft. Bonus view while you shop. Starbucks is also there and they are always good. If you need clothes or shoes and don't want to drive to several stores just stop by tanger
5. North Charleston and American LaFrance Fire Museum and Educational Center

The visitor center was small compared to other centers during a 24 day trip, yet a very helpful staff member. The center leads to the museum.My visit didn't last as long as I had hoped, had a second site at 12:00, while the center didn't open till 10:00 on Saturday. Photographed twenty vehicles-five horse drawn & fifteen 1900's fire engines, that range from a 1857 Button & Blade Hand Pump Fire steam engine to a 1969 American La France 900 Series Dominion Pumper. All vehicles are showroom quality. Glass cases have helmets & fire fighting apparatuses for every day fire fighting. Along one wall are the earliest types of firefighting-back to Roman times-Working in Turnout, Gear, Layered For Protection, High Pressure, Fire Fighting Nozzles, Enhanced 911, On Scene Communications & Modern Communications. Each vehicle is behind a three foot tall metal railing with a detailed history of each vehicle. For the children is a stairway to a tunnel slide. A theater shows about a 12 minute video about fire fighting. Plenty of free parking & a small gift hop. Any person with an interest in fire fighting, equipment, vehicles & a history of fire fighting, this museum will not disappoint. Even the children should enjoy a visit. For most visitors at most one hour should enough time, where my visit was a hour & half. A visit is highly recommended. NO large crowds.

Large taproom and production facility on Aragon Avenue in Park Circle, North Charleston, SC. Beer, wine, liquor and food right on Noisette Creek.
Reviewed By Wanderluster_10
We enjoyed an afternoon at Blind Tiger in downtown Charleston so learned about local breweries and got several recommendations. Lots to see & do in town and on islands & beaches, including Ft Sumpter tour, so we could only squeeze in a visit en route to the airport. Holy City is in a friendly industrial room with many choices and good food (the pretzels are sin-fully good!), so we enjoyed ourselves just a few minutes from CHS. It's the kind of place where you may not mind hearing about (another) flight delay. Cheers.
