Jepson Center for the Arts Reviews

Beautiful space. Good addition to our vacation in Savannah.

EL ARTE EN TODO SU ESPLENDOR 😍😍 BELLÍSIMO

Had a nice evening out. This is my 2nd time visiting the Jepson Center. Such a beautiful building

Highly recommend seeing this house when you're visiting Savannah. The history comes alive. One is definitely stepping back in time when they visit

This place was so interactive and fun. The art was engaging and informative. There was so much we could touch and interact with. The immersion impressionist floral garden downstairs is so fun. They also do movies in their theatre during the days. Fern Gully was playing when we were there. If you visit be ready to play and have fun. They also have food but it's not very kid friendly unless your kids like pb&j or grilled cheese. It's also expensive but you get entry to 3 places.

You can spend hours here or get through in 20-30 minutes. It has a great flow and tons of beautiful things to see. The 5th floor was closed when we went this summer but the Black Prince piece was worth the visit alone. Make sure to make time to see all three places so toy maximize your money!

Amazing! Very educational. Staff friendly and knowledgeable

Very nice museum. The interactive section for kids was great!!

$70 for our kids to see their entire section in 15 mins. Highly would not recommend for parents with Children.

Great museum and beautiful antiques preserved and showcased very well. The store is great to get all sorts of gifts, we loved Sandy so much!! Helped us figure out and find the things we needed. Would come here again!

We booked a tour on July 8th at 11:45am to visit the house. Would not recommend. First of all, we learned more about the home, architecture and about the lives of the people that lived there by reading their website, rather than on the tour. The furniture in the home was also not original. Second, our tour guide spoke so quickly that it was hard to understand him. During our tour, we had to walk through one room to get to the other room. Everyone didn’t fit in the other room and my mom and I were left peeking over from the first room. While the guide was talking, my mom was looking at a painting in the room that we were in, and he stopped his talking and asked her, “excuse me, can I help you with anything?” That came off very rude because she was obviously still listening to him but just didn’t want to stare at the back of someone’s head. Third, there was a hallway that was not closed off in the house that the group before us went through and for some reason our guide didn’t take us there. When we were in the basement, we heard the group after us saying how glad they were getting their tour guide because he was more informative than ours. Their guide even took them around the basement, explaining everything. Overall, if you get a good tour guide, you’ll get a good tour. The art museums that came with the tickets were great though.

Our tour guide Duke was the BEST! He was super kind and answered all of our questions.

I went on a tour here for my bachelorette trip. When we got to the Owens-Thomas house our guide, Duke, was the absolute best! He was so funny and great the entire time. He was super kind and attentive to us. Even asked to get a picture with our group since we were the first bachelorette group he’d been able to give a tour to.

The history of this house was neat to learn. Beautiful restoration, staff is very knowledgeable. I do think it is overpriced.

This was a great choice for our weekend trip to Savannah. The museum does such a great job at handling such a difficult topic. Our tour guide was so good, kept our interest the whole time.

Not worth it. They force you to buy admission to three sites not one and the house itself was “restored” based on whatever they were able to find. In fact even some of the furniture is not authentic

Historical accuracy was awesome.

The Owens-Thomas House is a must see if you are visiting Savannah. There are many other historic houses that we saw, but this one was still our favorite. Our tour guide Kate did a great job. We learned a lot and would go back if we had the chance.

Disappointing experience. Our tour guide did not focus on the history of the house and slave quarters but rather socio-political “interpretation” that was merely opinion with little to no factual basis or scholarship to support it. Not worth $30 per person.
