While in the south. My wife and I thought a plantation tour would be a really interesting stop on our trip. With a bit of research, we thought Boone Hall would be a good one to try. We were not at all disappointed. The lane way going in is lined with live oak trees that has been featured in a... More

The best part of this tour was the Gullah Theatre presentation at one of the slave houses. This is still a working farm producing berries, lettuce, and many other foods.

The grounds are nice -- especially the Avenue of Oaks leading up to the house! Makes for a breathtaking photo. I could've spent hours just looking at and walking under all the oak trees. However, I was a bit underwhelmed by the rest of my visit to Boone Hall. You can sign up for a house "tour", but in actuality... More

Spent the day at Boone Hall and had a really marvelous time. We recognised the property from "The Notebook" as Allie's summer home, and really enjoyed touring inside and seeing the grounds. The Gullah presentation was wonderful, too, as well as seeing inside the old slave cabins. Really interesting and eye-opening. The avenue of oaks with the spanish moss is... More

Spent the day at Boone Hill and was amazed at what I saw. I thought I knew a lot about Southern plantation life, but it was real here. Actual slave quarters still standing, cotton mill and more. Several movies were filmed here like 'The Notebook' and the mini-series 'North & South'.

The tour includes a house tour, slave quarters, Gullah presentation, tram/carriage tour of the property. And you're free to walk about and do your own tour. For $20 its a great value. We did the house tour and toured the slave quarters and Gullah presentation and we spent about 2 hrs. We arrived at 945am and signed up right away... More

this well restored facility is worth a visit. Its a real eye opener into the history of slavery that made the plantation profitable. Lots of things to do and see, plan on spending about 3 hours and be ready for some walking. They have a cafe on site for food and drinks

As a black person, the experience for me was mixed with various emotions, happy and sad. Happy because I am an American history teacher and I love being up close to real, hands-on history, Sad, because I could feel what the slaves had to endure and go through. It affected me so bad, I was not able to continue the... More

My husband, daughter (13), son (12) and I truly enjoyed Boone Hall Plantation. Tickets were $18.00 with a AAA discount (a steal of a deal compared to Biltmore). Included in the ticket price was a home tour, a reinactment, and a coach ride around the property. We really enjoyed seeing the Live Oak tree alley. Really something to see! We... More
