7 reviews for Fort Pulaski National Monument
Say what you will about the Confederacy, but they sure can build a nice fort. They thought of everything! Decent bathrooms, wheelchair ramps, a baby changing station, coke machines with vitamin water, a gift shop for postcards and whatnot. Very comfortable by 19th century standards, and certainly ahead of their time! If it wern't for those darn rifled cannons. Dagumit!
Decent fort to visit. Well preserved, easy to get around in, even with a stroller. Good guided tours and demonstrations. It is cool inside, even in the summer. Very nice views from the top. Unless you linger, you can be in and out of this place pretty quick. I'm glad we came.

This is a great low budget visit. If you enjoy history and some creepy haunted vibes, I would suggest you stop by for a visit. It's only 1 to 2 hours of your trip.
Fun and educational for the kids. Musket firing at 1:30.
Our kids had a great time here.
The 3 year old had fun running up and down the stairs and the older kids (7 and 8) picked up a bit of history while running up and down the stairs. It's very cool and well restored. Definitely worth a stop with the kids if you're in the area. Probably best for 6 and over but the little ones can run around even if they don't pick up much history.

If you're a history buff who likes an up-close, hands on experience you'll love this place. It's not hard to walk around the bunkers, cannons, and earthen berms, and in the tunnels, and imagine what it was like to be Civil War soldier. Add a little more Southern coastal jungle and marsh to your imagination, erase the manicured lawns from the picture, and you'll see how brutal and boring it must have been. I put on a hoopskirt in my little fantasy and imagined visiting those poor, bored soldiers. Southern belle, indeed! Too bad those soldiers were bombarded out of there by the Yanks in the first and only action the fort ever saw.
There's a big moat. There are big alligators in the big moat. What are you waiting for? Go.

Because this is not one of the better-known, more historically-important Civil War sites, it is one of most untouched and best preserved.
I first visited as a small kid during our annual summers in Savannah. It's a ghostly place, a treasure, and dark and mysterious like seemingly every other place in the Savannah area.
If you stand still and meditate, you go back in time...
This is by far one of the best historic monuments in Savannah.Even for those who are not fans of military history, the location itself is beautiful, and seeped in history, sitting in the 2nd largest salt water marsh in the country.For those who are fans of military history an interesting fact is, that Robert E. Lee, future commander of all southern forces in the Civil War, built this fort, when he was tasked with improving Eastern Seaboard defenses, while in the US Army Corps of Engineers.In addtion it has a very significant importance in being an example of the failure of static defenses, after it fell in a day, leading military thought to revolve more on offensive operations rather than defensive operations, from that point on.
