The Augusta Canal Discovery Center at Enterprise Mill tells the story of industrial revolution in the American South and how a city used its waterways to reinvent itself and define its destiny. Located in a former textile mill, the Discovery Center is your starting point of all canal boat tours. Be sure to allow time before or after your cruise to explore the exhibits, view the orientation film in the Rotary Club of Augusta Centennial Theater, and browse the Canal Gift Shop. Discovery Center admission is $6 adult/ $4 senior & student, or free with your boat tour ticket purchase.

“I had no idea about the quality of this field trip. It's one of Augusta's "treasures" in my opinion. I plan on telling my fellow teachers & bring my guests here as well. Thank you for making our experience so great!”
