Thinking of planning a trip to Patriots Point and wondered if anyone else has been? I will be traveling from Baltimore to Charleston and was wondering about distances to hotels, the Point, other attractions?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Mike

As I recall, Patriots Point is quite a ways from downtown Charleston - over a high bridge if I remember correctly. I took my parents there back in the early 90's. I was especially interested in the Yorktowne, as I had visited that ship in Long Beach, California in the mid-60's before it was retired. My dad was a WW2 vet & really enjoyed seeing the planes on the deck. We actually stayed north of Charleston & went into the city for a carriage ride & other sightseeing. It was too cold that February day to go to Fort Sumpter.

My new "default" station (EKH) has no baggage service or QuikTrak machine, but the parking is free! And the NY Central RR Museum is just across the tracks (but not open at Amtrak train times. . ..)
