The under-12 rooms
Family Activities in Savannah
Savannah is a family city: the squares, Forsyth Park, the children's museum, the railroad museum, and the Tybee Island day trip all land with kids.
The rooms below are real and open, in the order we would actually go.
The family anchors
Museums, parks, and the coast
Savannah Children's Museum
Historic District, 655 Louisville Road
The hands-on children's museum in the old Central of Georgia Railway complex, built for the under-12 crowd.
Georgia State Railroad Museum
Historic District, 655 Louisville Road
The historic railroad roundhouse and turntable, trains and rail history, a favorite with kids.
Forsyth Park
Historic District, at Gaston and Drayton Streets
The big green with the fountain, playgrounds nearby, and plenty of room to run.
Tybee Island day trip
About 18 miles east
The beach day, the lighthouse, and the pier, the classic Savannah family outing.
Free and easy
The no-ticket rooms
The squares and Forsyth Park are free, River Street is a free walk, and the riverside greens cost nothing. For a rainy day, the children's museum and the railroad museum are the indoor anchors. The parks page and the coast page carry the outdoor list.
Plan the day
The family weekend
The dated family events live on the events page, and the this-weekend page carries the weekly rhythm.
