Our three family-friendly hotels on these streets, The Marshall House, East Bay Inn or Olde Harbour Inn, allow families to walk everywhere and enjoy Savannah with ease.

Things To Do in Savannah with Children

  • 1. SAVANNAH CHILDREN'S MUSEUM - The museum features over a dozen exhibits designed to expand the imaginations of children, including an exploration maze, a reading nook, and a sensory garden.
  • 2. GEORGIA STATE RAILROAD MUSEUM - With a fully operational turntable, you have the chance to explore historic railcars, experience the handcar, and go on guided tours.
  • 3. JEPSON CENTER - The Jepson Center houses ArtZeum, an interactive children's museum space, and museum admission is always free for children 12 and under! It's designed with young people in mind, but challenges young and old alike to rethink their ideas about art. The ArtZeum features twenty-four activities exploring some big ideas about art: What is art? Why do we make art? How do we look at art? How do we value art?
  • 4. LEOPOLD'S ICE CREAM - All of Leopold's super-premium ice cream is hand-crafted in historic downtown Savannah using the original, secret recipes handed down to Stratton Leopold by his father.
  • 5. FORSYTH PARK - This 30 acre park is home to a half-shell theater, tennis courts, basketball courts, a cafe, two playgrounds, and ample room for sports and events.
  • 6. TAKE A TROLLEY TOUR – We always recommend a trolley tour for our guests. It’s a great way to see Savannah, and tours pick up directly from each of our three family-friendly Savannah hotels. Ask about Old Savannah Tour’s trolleys with characters!
