Day 1: Discover Savannah's historic charm
Begin your Savannah adventure with a leisurely stroll along the riverfront, where cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and views of the Savannah River provide the perfect introduction to the city. Take time to explore the shops and watch the cargo ships pass by before heading into the Historic District. In the afternoon, enjoy a horse-drawn carriage tour through Savannah's iconic squares, where you'll learn about the city's fascinating history, architecture, and famous residents.
A note from Four Winds Adventures
Book a morning or late-afternoon carriage tour to avoid the hottest part of the day, especially during summer months.
Day 2: A pirate adventure with a touch of mystery
Today is all about embracing Savannah's pirate past. Start the morning at the Savannah Pirates & Treasures Museum, where interactive exhibits and artifacts bring the Golden Age of Piracy to life for children and adults alike. For lunch, dine at the historic Pirates' House, one of Savannah's oldest and most legendary restaurants, where tales of sailors and sea captains add to the experience. After dinner, cap off the day with the family-friendly Fraidy Cat Ghost Tour, an entertaining introduction to Savannah's haunted history that is designed specifically for younger travelers.
A note from Four Winds Adventures
Reserve ghost tour tickets in advance, particularly during weekends and school holidays when family tours often sell out.
Day 3: Savannah Bananas baseball fun
Spend your final day experiencing one of the most unique attractions in sports: a Savannah Bananas game at historic Grayson Stadium. The Savannah Bananas have transformed baseball into a family-friendly entertainment experience filled with music, dancing, crowd participation, and nonstop fun. Arrive early to enjoy the pregame festivities and soak up the atmosphere before first pitch. Whether you're a lifelong baseball fan or simply looking for an unforgettable family outing, a Savannah Bananas game is the perfect way to wrap up your weekend.
A note from Four Winds Adventures
Tickets often sell out months in advance, so secure seats as early as possible when planning your trip.
Need to know
Savannah is an extremely walkable city, but comfortable shoes are essential due to the cobblestone streets along the waterfront. Families visiting during warmer months should plan for frequent breaks, shade, and hydration, especially in the afternoon. Many of Savannah's most popular attractions are concentrated within the Historic District, making it easy to explore without a car once you've arrived.
