Wonderful! The gardens and surrounding area is fantastic. Would suggest a tour that covers whole plantation, it is worth it! The amount of history and beautiful scenery is amazing.

Don’t know why this place has a good review. The grounds are unkempt and neglected, the house in serious disrepair. The fact that they get away with charging admission is ludicrous. Obviously the money doesn’t go toward restoration and upkeep.Felt cheated and disappointed.

It was nice to see how family plantations were back then and now. The tour guide Allan was very informative and knowledgeable. However Magnolia Plantation needs to speed up their cafe food service, lines are slow & long, only one person taking orders and another preparing the food. With 15 minutes between tour and bus departure, almost impossible to get served.
