Too chilly to go to the beach? There are lots of activities in and around Charleston throughout the cooler months, so no worries. In order to have an unforgettable experience in the Holy City, grab your jacket and check out some of these seasonal favorites.

Watch the sea turtles
Sea turtles are the favorite species of all people and the South Carolina Aquarium’s main draw. Spend some time in the aquarium’s brand-new Zucker Family Sea Turtle Recovery section, which takes visitors on a journey down the path taken by a rescued sea turtle as it receives care and rehabilitation before being released back into the water. Through a glass window and on a TV monitor, visitors can observe a live surgery. Explore the aquarium’s additional displays, which feature more than 60 aquatic animals, from river otters to sharks, and depict South Carolina’s diverse ecosystem from the mountains to the sea.
Stride Museum Mile
Along a mile of Meeting Street, you can find six museums, five historic homes that are known all over the country, four beautiful parks, a Revolutionary War powder magazine, and many historic places of worship and government buildings, like Charleston City Market and City Hall. During the month of January, you can get into all of the Museum Mile locations that are taking part with one discounted ticket. Buy an adult ticket for $25 and a child ticket for $10 to gain access to 11 different locations.
