Jonathan RowsonApril 1, 2016Truly a great place to visit even if you aren't a lighthouse buff! Your entry fee also gets you in the museum across the street.Upvote10DownvoteUpvoted 1 week ago- Park for free in the lighthouse lot, then get ready to climb to the top! Your ticket gets you into the lighthouse, two keepers' cottages and summer kitchen, PLUS the museum and the yellow cottage.Upvote8Downvote
Corey JonesJuly 12, 2017The 2nd Assistant Keepers Cottage is informative and air conditioned. Climb the tower then cool off and learn the history.Upvote7Downvote
De CogginsDecember 27, 2017Stretch the legs before and after taking on the 174 lighthouse steps. Or pain the next day. Amazing view from above. A senior’s visit.

Greg PollakJuly 7, 2014A very interesting place to visit. If you go up the lighthouse, be prepared to climb some stairs and take your time going up.UpvoteDownvote
Your Savvy AtlantanAugust 4, 2013178 steps to the top! Built in 1753. It remains as an active intact lighthouses today.

Yaisiel TorresSeptember 5, 201310 bucks for a museum and getting on top of the lighthouse. The museum is moldy, old, and shabby but the lighthouse view is worth the cost.Upvote1Downvote
Cassie ParrisSeptember 7, 2014Climbed to the top. The view was beautiful. The breeze was the best part!UpvoteDownvote
Visit SavannahJanuary 28, 2012Terrific fun and exercise (that climb to the top can be a little brutal!) The view is worth it!Upvote9Downvote- Aileen CorreaOctober 24, 2016Stairs.....lots of STAIRS!!!!!!! Beautiful view worth the STAIRS!!!!UpvoteDownvote
Brandon RogersJune 6, 2013Beautiful views but it's a workout getting up there. Be prepared for your cavs to burn.Upvote1Downvote
Haley HarrisonMarch 21, 2012If you come around a meal time, make sure to eat at the North Shore Bar & Grill! Delish!UpvoteDownvote
Cj GillonOctober 14, 2013I was impressed with the lighthouse, but the staff was very rude. Don't expect ANY museum reciprocations to be honored, not even the Coastal Museum Assoc. (they're members). No interactive exhibits.Upvote1Downvote
Tara RievleyJune 29, 2013Have water and oxygen to go to the top of the lighthouse ;) 😊UpvoteDownvote- Chuck BolenJuly 17, 2011Parking is free at the lighthouse parking the battery is included with the lighthouseUpvote1Downvote
Travis VolleFebruary 24, 2011$8 dollars per person plus $1.50 to park makes this somewhat expensive. It also costs to visit the Battery museum as well.Upvote1Downvote
Ashley PhantomhiveMarch 18, 2013It's worth the 6 flights and there are landings to rest!UpvoteDownvote
Brian WilderJuly 25, 2012No water or backpacks allowed on the climb, so hydrate first.UpvoteDownvote
Laura Daughtry 🧘🏼♀️June 23, 2010$3 to park for 10 minutes and $7 for a SELF-tour of this tiny lighthouse? Not worth it.Upvote1Downvote
