Make Some Nature Discoveries
Hilton Head is literally dripping with nature. You saw the Spanish Moss adorning the oak trees, right? You’ll want to visit the 69-acre Coastal Discovery Museum to interact with all the island ecosystems. This Smithsonian affiliate has trails and gardens and low country animals galore — like frogs and lizards, an American alligator named Lawrence, a couple of resident horses and a seasonal butterfly enclosure. It also has a popular Kids Zone with toys, games and costumes. Thursday's Discovery Night at the Museum is an opportunity for some hands-on education — taking a stab at a local craft or learning about a particular animal. Portions of the museum are open only certain days or times so call in advance or check the website for the schedule of what's on.
