Plan A Field Trip
 

When you bring your students to Fort Pulaski, you will:
•Learn about one of Savannah's most interesting historic sites.
•Help meet specific Georgia Performance Standards.
•Have fun.

Field trips to Fort Pulaski are free!

You can plan either a self-guided visit or a visit with help from a park ranger. Ranger-guided programs are available only when staffing is available. Please contact Park Ranger Mike Weinstein at (912) 786-5787 to arrange a ranger-guided program.

You will need to make a reservation for your visit. Reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Your reservation will be made when you fill out a fee waiver request, which will qualify you for a free field trip. You will receive a written confirmation (either by email or fax) when your fee waiver has been approved. Please bring this confirmation with you during your field trip and present it at the entrance station.

While much of the fort is under cover, walking from place to place will take your group outside. And even when you are under cover, there is no climate control. So plan on being outdoors.

There is a picnic area, with covered tables and rest rooms, in the park. The picnic area is a three- or four-minute drive from the Fort parking lot (or about a 3/4-mile walk from the parking lot). In order to maintain the historic character of the Fort, picnicking is not allowed inside the Fort.

The fort is two stories. The upper level is not wheelchair-accessible. There are no railings on the upper level. Small children need to be very closely supervised on the upper level of the fort.

There is a visitor center with a 17-minute video that is show every half hour and a small museum. Food and drink are not allowed in the visitor center. There are restrooms at the visitor center, the fort and the picnic area.
