Family Fun Day | Coastal Discovery Museum

Each year the Coastal Discovery Museum celebrates the end of summer and start of the schoolyear with a FREE Family Fun Day. It’s our way of giving back to the community and a must for families of all ages! Explore Honey Horn and learn about the Lowcountry from Museum volunteers and community partners. We will have activities and information tables across our property so you can walk around and enjoy all we have to offer - pull a crab trap, try indigo dyeing, search for caterpillars, “dig” for artifacts, meet local authors, get creative in the gallery, learn some Gullah words, sing a few fun songs, and much more! August 10th, 2021 - 10 AM - 1 PM

Stay for lunch and support local farmers and artisans at the Farmers Market (open Tuesdays from 9-1).
