Group Visits are perfect for camps, daycares, troops, reunions, churches, seniors, and etc. bringing 10 or more people. Come for an hour or stay for a fun-filled day of discovery.

The South Carolina State Museum is now in phase two of re-opening. Hours of operation have been expanded, meaning the museum is now open on Sundays. Please note: the museum is unable to offer First Sunday $1 general admission due to capacity restrictions.

The museum will also be managing our capacity to better meet social distancing needs.

*** Per Governor Henry McMaster’s executive order, guests aged 3 and above are required to wear a face covering while visiting state buildings, which includes the State Museum. ***
