It may take you several times to do everything there is to do in Downtown Charleston for FREE. Pace yourself! One of my families favorite places to go is right on the water, at the water front park. It is a few blocks south of Market Street and over a block toward the water, I believe it's Concord St. You can also go down Venue. There is a large water fountain type sprayer at the opening of the park. The kids can wear their swimsuits and get wet if it's warm enough. Then there are family swings under an awning going toward the water & dock. ON the dock is a view finder, so you can look at the Yorktown across the water or the Bridge or anything your heart desires.
Just before the swings are several block style maps of Charleston at different stages in history, very interesting. There are open fields and benches, so you can bird watch or eat lunch or through a ball. Also, there is a huge Pineapple fountain that is great for picture taking. There are steps to go into the water under the fountain, so watch the kids. I think it is a foot or 2 deep. There is also another dock down at the other end and ships galore! Don't forget to look up above the homes there. There are all kinds of things to see! You can even park down on that end. Parking there is usually FREE and that's our favorite word! Also there are public restrooms on the left looking away from the 1st sprinkler toward town and 2 others. One is a few blocks to the right in the parking garage and the other is in the parking garage 1 block up to the left a few blocks (good to know). Later I'll tell you other places FREE you can go!
