Unique Things To Do

1. Dive into the Prohibition Era

The American Prohibition Museum is a new, interactive museum experience that takes you through 40 years of history, the events that lead up to Prohibition and everything that occurred as a result. The museum is 6,000 square feet of exhibition space that holds 13 galleries, four vintage cars and live actors that help bring the stories to life. If all the alcohol talk leaves you thirsty, you’re in luck. After your museum tour, you can visit the fully-stocked speakeasy, just remember the password to get in!

2. Explore Historic Fort Pulaski

Fort Pulaski is located between the city of Savannah and Tybee Island. During the American Civil War, the Union Army successfully tested a rifled cannon here, ushering in significant military advances. While many boasted that the fort was impenetrable due to its 11′ thick walls, the Union Army’s direct land assault using the rifled cannon proved to be its downfall. The loss of Fort Pulaski crippled the Confederate effort during the Civil War. Since its reconstruction, the fort has been featured in several films, including Robert Redford’s The Conspirator, and is a historical treasure in Savannah.

3.Have Southern Style Afternoon Tea at the Gryphon Tea Room

The Gryphon Tea Room in Savannah is known for its unique breakfast, lunch and dessert options along with its distinctive décor. Sit down at the bar counter, order a pot of southern style tea and catch your breath after touring around the city. Owned and staffed by the Savannah College of Art and Design, the Tea Room’s elegance and artistic ambiance are not to be missed. This is the height of southern style and an off the beaten path must-do for Savannah visitors.

4. Check Out the Savannah Gas Company Globe


The Savannah Gas Company Globe is located near the intersection of White Bluff Road and DeRenne Avenue in Savannah. The globe was first used as a storage tank by the Savannah Gas Company, but soon after its construction, the structure was re-imagined to resemble the Earth. Interestingly, it was painted again in 1998 to include Hurricane Floyd as it headed toward Savannah. The Savannah Gas Company Globe is accompanied by a mailbox in the shape of the Moon, and both are stunning, one-of-a-kind additions to the city’s landscape.

5. Visit the Oatland Island Wildlife Center
