The history and exhibits are well written here. Enjoyed the 30-min ferry ride over to Fort Sumter. You get to see the shorelines, islands, bridges, Charleston peninsula, lighthouse from a distance, several fort locations, the aircraft carrier docked across the bay, U.S.S. Yorktown, on the way. The museum in the fort is closed due to COVID but the exhibits in Liberty Center are open. There is a gift shop in the center & a smaller one at the fort. Ferries run on specific reduced times now so check online. Ferry has 3 decks. Lower is well air conditioned. Middle deck is enclosed but too warm for the summer but has the snack bar. The upper deck is open & is great for photography. Nice breezes but sitting in sun is hot. Chairs are spread out for social distancing. Worth every penny to spend 1/2 a day!!

Liberty Square apparently is the area you cross to get to the aquarium and the boat to Fort Sumter. Those are down by the water. On the other side there's a parking garage which is a great place to park your car. In between there's an open grassy area flanked by walking paths shaded by trees. There are low knee-high walls along the paths that kids and some adults will want to walk on. They are decorated regularly with little bronze starfish and similar sea-themed creatures. I assume they are there to deter skateboarders, but they also look pretty neat. I'd call that good design. There's also a fountain down toward the one end with steps leading into the water that seems to invite you to walk in and play, just like the more famous pineapple fountain on the waterfront. However, this is not what they wish for you to do, as two small signs reading \please stay out of the water\ (or words to that effect) indicate that the water steps are just a bit of a tease. I would not call that good design.

Very worthwhile seeing. If you do the whole thing, it could take 4 hours. Alot to see.

I really like the Liberty Square park in Charleston. This green area that is part of the National Park Service surrounds the South Carolina Aquarium and the Fort Sumter Monument and has a nice wide open area that has a lawn, plenty of benches, a fountain, a covered area, and cool educational markers. The waterfront area is also really nice to catch views of the harbor and a nice breeze on a warm day. This location is very well maintained and clean at all times and is nice to have a place to go to on a nice day to enjoy some fresh air and even have a picnic or just run around and have fun. I have really enjoyed Liberty Square throughout the years and look forward to being able to come back here many times in the future.

Nice area with views and access to aquarium and ft Sumter. The small museum here is good. Good place to watch the water. We saw dolphins from here.
