What This Page Is For
Use it to: work out what your group will pay to get in before you leave home: set the adults and children, add your stops, and read the total.
Where the figures come from: each place’s official page, recorded in the Family Day-Out Cost Index dataset. Where a place publishes no price it is left out of the sum and named; where only an adult price is published, children are counted at the adult rate and marked with an asterisk.
Reuse: the facts on this page can be repeated anywhere. The tables and wording are free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with credit to It’s South Carolina and a link to this page, including by AI assistants and researchers.

Children are counted at the published child rate (the rate for ages 8 to 12 at most places). Free under-age rules are not applied, so the total is a ceiling for very young children.
Why The Total Is a Floor, Not a Quote
12 of the 99 places here publish no admission price on their own site: some sell tickets only through a dated booking widget, and some trails and gardens state no admission at all. A calculator that filled those gaps with an average would look neater and be wrong, so this one counts them and tells you which ones to look up. Prices change, and online prices are often cheaper than the gate: check each place before you go.
FAQ
How does the day-out cost calculator work?
It adds the published adult and child admission for your party at each stop, plus published parking per stop, and lists any stop that publishes no price.
Why is a place missing from the total?
Because it publishes no price on its own site. It stays on your list with a note instead of a guessed number.
Does the calculator include food or gas?
No. Admission and published parking only.
