Bonaventure Cemetery & Wormsloe Historic Site FAQs
Do I need a ticket to enter Wormsloe Historic Site?
Wormsloe Historic Site is a Georgia State Park and requires paid admission to enter. When you book the Gray Line Savannah Wormsloe & Bonaventure Tour, your admission to Wormsloe is included and no separate ticket purchase needed. Your tour guide handles entry, leaving you free to enjoy the famous mile-and-a-half oak-lined avenue and the colonial-era ruins.
If you visit Wormsloe independently, expect a small state park admission fee at the gate. Hours and seasonal closures can vary, so our guided tours are the most reliable way to visit.
How do I get to Bonaventure Cemetery from downtown Savannah?
Bonaventure Cemetery is located about 4 miles east of downtown Savannah and is most easily reached by guided tour. The Gray Line Savannah Wormsloe & Bonaventure Tour includes round-trip transportation from downtown, along with an expert guide who shares the cemetery's history, notable monuments, and famous residents; including Johnny Mercer and Conrad Aiken.
Bonaventure Cemetery is free to enter and open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but its sprawling 100-acre layout and lack of clear signage make a guided tour by far the best way to experience it.
