Wow! Great place to see the gators and others up close. Great presentations and feeding. Place is clean and well maintained. Although some of the wood walkways and fencing is looking weathered. I guess it adds to the ambiance! Park personnel are kind and patient. Gift store is stocked with cool stuff. By the by gators are everywhere in case you were wondering. Additionally there is a nature walk above the swamps and water. Additional buildings w/ lizards, frogs and of course snakes. Other animals and birds as well. Go, enjoy, and have fun.

Coming to this place was a highlight of my trip to Myrtle Beach! This is a great family friendly place to visit for all animal lovers. They house all sorts of animals and provide great resources for learning about them. There are live shows that make the experience all the more immersive. I have never gotten to see an alligator up close or even in person so coming to Alligator Adventure makes for a unique encounter for those visiting from northern regions like me or really anyone who loves and support animal conservation.

I have been by this place probably a thousand times in my life. We decided to head down from NC to check it out. Wow! This adventure was fantastic, from the native animals to exotic birds, this place has its act together. We were impressed with how the area looked and maintained. All the reptiles and animals looked well cared for and safe. All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. They have animals/reptiles from all over the world...and if you want to see gators and crocs up close??? This is your kind of place.

They must have literally thousands of alligators here separated to some degree by age groups. Nice, clean, fully accessible facility just north of Barefoot Landing. Very nice gift shop. Food choices at snack bar very limited. You gotta go here at least once.

I went with my kids. My kids absolutely loved this place. We went to 3 shows while we were there. We just loved walking around looking at all of the animals! I noticed all the animal enclosures were clean. They had fresh water, clean enclosures, and most had some type of food/snack available. Our highlight would have been Utan the 20ft or 21ft crocodile. The kids just could not get over how big his head is and how round he was as well. An educational experience we all enjoyed!

Alligator Adventure was such a fun and educational experience! There’s so much more than just alligators—we saw snakes, turtles, exotic birds, lamas, hyenas, and even a rare albino alligator. The live shows were a highlight; the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. The park is clean, well laid out, and easy to navigate. There are plenty of shady spots, which is great on a hot day. We especially loved seeing the giant alligators and crocodiles up close—some of them are absolutely massive!

This was a very interesting place to visit. They had lizards alligators snakes birds turtles laughing hyena line and much more, frogs. It was a very friendly place and we enjoyed every minute of it. If you are ever in this area I highly recommend that you go to this place it's a must, and your kids will love it as well.

Barefoot Landing is a great little spot to hang out and kill some time and do some shopping. Most of the shops are overpriced touristy stuff but there are a few gems in there. The ticketed rides are extremely overpriced. Almost $7 to ride the carousel. There’s some nice views and the restaurants looked nice but we had eaten before we visited. Bring something to keep yourself hydrated as there are no water stations here (which is extremely annoying). Bottled water is $2+ at the stores. Seems like a disservice to not offer water when the shade is pretty limited.

What a beautiful place!! This is perfect for family a place to unwind, stroll around this place offer everything, from entertainment, food and activities, me and my family spend some times here, they have a lawn that you can get your own beach chair to watch their show, my daughter likes it and somehow participated, they also have a small inlet with boat and of course this place is surrounded by different kind of restaurants you have so many options, they also have a big playground where my kids spend hours of playing, and parents can always buy a refreshing drinks or cocktails while watching kids play, the bathroom is located inside the arcade, it's not clean enough that's the reason why I gave 4 star the bathroom is not maintained and it's stinky, other than that you can spend your all day on this place and I highly recommended family to visit barefoot landing whenever you visit Myrtle Beach.

Similar to Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing has quite a selection of shopping, food, and quality entertainment in north Myrtle Beach. During the day, visitors can shop for apparel, jewelry, and gifts or pick from a wide variety of attractions. Barefoot Landing is a shopping, dining and entertainment destination all in one. It is a must-see during your Myrtle Beach vacation. They have wonderful annual events, live music, great restaurants, and plenty of family-friendly fun all year round. It’s also very dog-friendly with specialty shops for your pooch and water dishes outside of many retailers around the complex. Lucy Buffett’s LuLu’s has a huge menu and is a great spot for families with little ones with a fun beach and plenty of seating. Enjoy the beautiful waterway views with a cold drink in hand at a few great spots around Barefoot Landing. We had the best time at Crooked Hammock Brewery

Very nice place, I liked walking there beside water seeing the yachts and boats, beautiful architecture, Christmas decorations, lights, the harbor and beautiful shops and restaurants.

If you grew up going to N. Myrtle, there’s a good chance you grew up at Barefoot Landing. Coming back as an adult feels like you never left. The walkways over the water, the magic shop, etc. The property itself is super clean, and there lots of things for the kiddos to do. Definitely recommend the playground to bring off some energy. Highly recommend!

Barefoot Landing have fantastic stores, foods, and more, it’s a great place to visit with friends and families, their are also ponds with fishes and it also looks cool, also I look at shirts of Football (Soccer), pretty cool because I’m a fan of Football, and their are shirts, plush, shoes store in this area, pretty cool, besides this place is a 100% the best one yet, and in Myrtle Beach, their are other places to visit.

Beautiful and clean place to hang out and just relax with several food, snacks, shops and bars. Kids can play in the playground while you can grab a pint of beer next door and listen to live music.

A Great bunch of people. Everyone were pleasant, polite, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. We had the best time.

Definitely recommend going if you are a cat or animal lover. Looking is free. Having pictures taken with the animals is expensive but well worth it! I have 2 of the most awesome pictutes ever! One with me and a baby tiger next to my face and another with my family with an adolesent white tiger laying across across our laps being bottle fed by my son! I've been wanting to go back ever since!

They were at barefoot landing between 6p and 8p as they said. It was free to see them there. Good little experience . you can pay to see them closer and get pics.

Awesome!!!! We didnt take advantage of the photo op/holding a tiger opportunity, but we did get to watch the babies play, and we got to pet a little monkey!!!! Loved this!!!!!!

We really lile the folks here. They care about the animals and quickly remove them from display if the weather us poor. The animals come first. Its a bit expensive but worth knowing the money goes to help perserve the tigers in the wild. The memories are worth all of it.

DO NOT GO HERE! THIS IS A FOR PROFIT BUSINESS WHO EXPLOITS BIG CATS. This is a breeder who has found a way to make money off his tigers. Here they have NO water, and babies are separated from the mother. This is sick.

Loved it. Staff were great! Animals were great! Wish I could have gone to the Preservation.

This museum is a gem for anyone who loves classic cars. The staff are genuinely friendly and make you feel welcome right from the start. There’s an impressive selection of vehicles on display, and the curator does a great job rotating the cars every so often, so there’s always something new to see on return visits. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting—you can take your time admiring the details, and there’s even a guest book where visitors sign in and share where they’ve traveled from, which adds a fun, personal touch. Before heading out, the small gift shop is worth a stop for a souvenir to remember the visit. All in all, it’s a wonderful little museum that delivers a lot of charm for classic car enthusiasts, whether you’re a casual admirer or a die-hard collector at heart.

If you are into cars, this place is a must! Truly a lifetime collection. Over 100 cars that you can walk right up to. Collector has another 100+/- so museum is always changing. Self guided tour. A lot of additional photos and articles. Little pricey but well worth the money. Large gift shop. Been multiple times in the past and will be coming back in the future. To Paul and family/friends, thank you for sharing

If you like old cars and some history with it this is the place to be. When we first Walked in we were greeted by two employees, after checkout he gave us some history of this place when it started who the owners were. Worth the trip.

A buddy of mine visited from out of town and I had never been here before - thought it would be a great place to see. It definitely didn't disappoint. The employee there gave a short spiel on why the museum exists and then sent us on our way. There are a hundred different classic cars to see and admission was $22 a person. Glad I went. I'm planning to bring my father and sister when they visit for Turkey Day.

What a neat place. They have many older cars models and, according the the man working there, they switch them out every so often so that there are new ones to see.

There's a lot to see if you're into cars and a fair amount to see if you just like old stuff. The employee we met was super friendly and helpful. Slightly pricy for what it is but maybe standard for car enthusiasts.

Great museum with a lot of classic cars - They alternate the cars once a year. Great staff, cute gift shop. Come check it out

First time here.its HUGE. Clean. Not enough direction for restrooms... Went looking for a specific pair of skechers at their store... didn't have my size found. Em at famous footwear... Said they were BOGO clearance... cashier definitely rang it up reg. Went back to dispute this problem. He refused to half process it. ...

Come at opening between 9:30-10am. Clean, no crowds and the best service.

The tiger outlets are very quiet. There are some good stores with great discounts. One things that I like there was an American Eagle clearance store most expensive item in the store was $19.99. I really like the coach factory outlet. They had a great selection. I was able to get two leather purses for $355. They have a loft outlet. They have a Ralph Lauren, a torrid a Case jewelers and some shoe stores also sunglass hut.. quiet and clean

This is an outdoor open space outlet mall. Lots of plants and sitting area in between the pavements and sections. Lots of good stores avalanche like Nike, Under Armor, Crocs, Forever 21, Coach, Gap, Banana Republic, and Polo Ralph Lauren. All the stores offer good discounts and sale offers. Prices are very reasonable taking the discounted price in consideration. Multiple small vendors are around the outlet selling nuts, drinks and ice creams. The parking lot is close to the shops. I was able to walk to my car few times to drop off shopping bags while we shopped around.

I had a good experience here, not really a whole lot else to say other than it is outdoors so you might not want to come on a rainy day. Plenty of parking!

Its nice, had stores that I haven't seen at other Tanger outlets. The prices in some stores were great. They had a 7 brew next to it, love there drinks/coffee. Overall great experience.

Outlet stores are no longer outlets, but shopping malls. The stores here, for the most part, did not have discount items, although a few stores had "clearance" sections. This outlet is no different. Plenty of clean, well lit, well stocked stores, but the prices are just like going to any regular store to shop.

Would give zero stars if able. I have read the good reviews posted about this place and can’t for the life of me understand what they saw wonderful about these conditions. The only thing I can gather is that they were either confusing it with another zoo, are fake reviews, or were high as a kite walking through the place. There was nothing enjoyable. My kids and I left feeling sad and upset at the conditions these animals are forced to live in. Social monkeys that usually live in groups are living alone in small cages. All animals looked sick and malnourished, with many looking stressed or like they had bad health problems. The bears (pictured) and various other animals were missing large areas of fur. The monkey pictured below had eyes swollen shut. The Lynx was in a small 10x10 foot cage with no where to climb. All enclosures/exhibits were filthy and run down. 99% of the enclosures were WAY too small for the type of animal it was housing. It was sickening to see large cats and bears with no space to run or climb. No food or water was seen in any enclosure and it was a really hot day we were there. I have been to many zoos where animals get excited for food, but these animals fought each other to get food from us as if they were starving. I wish there was a way to get this place shut down and the animals moved somewhere they can be treated better and thrive.

I would give no stars if I could! I wish I had read reviews before going. I'm shocked that this place has been allowed to remain open! Absolutely disgusted over the state of these poor animals. Not only are the enclosures dirty, tiny and rundown, they're also lacking anything to engage the animals. No trees for the monkeys, some of them are in sheds indoors, the bears have either muddy water, concrete or about a 6 foot cage of mud to live in, the lions have a small concrete rundown cage with no way to see the sun. The animals look so unhappy. I'm contacting PETA to see if there is anything they can do. I'm including pics of the grounds, enclosures and animals.

Better than we expected. Loved the peacocks. We didn't get to see the kangaroo or alligator. But it was definitely a great visit. Be prepared to walk and it's alot of roots and uneven terrain so wear comfortable shoes. Staff was extremely friendly. Will definitely recommend to others and would visit again during next trip.

After reading reviews we weren't expecting much, but it actually turned out to be a pretty cool experience! The zoo is a little run down, but they had more animals than I expected; the lions and bear were a surprise. You could also feed most of the animals. Don't expect a meticulously landscaped and paved park with state-of-the- art exhibits. You will do quite a bit of walking on dirt paths with tree roots along the way.

My family went here the week of July 10th. The reviews online made me very skeptical about what we were going to see. My son had his heart set on going so we gave it a chance. I think that the employees really care about the animals. You can tell that the majority of the animals are well fed and cared for correctly. You can purchase feed at the register to give to the animals and you can definitely tell that the animals are used to that. The animals are really cute. We loved how the peacocks just roamed free! My first area of concern is that the zoo does need some repairs. Some of the buildings are run down and it could use some TLC. My second issue is that the map isn’t the easiest to read and you can end up going in a bunch of circles. My third problem is that it’s called a zoo but there are a ton of goats - all different kinds that you see. I would say that the majority of animals are goats. They are adorable though. Finally, it is advertised to see tigers but there were no tigers to see. That was disappointing. It was supposed to be one of the last animals we saw and then there were none. It was a let down.

Visited last week for the first time, had my 8mo daughter & my 14yo neice & we had a lot of fun! The ladies in the front were pleasant! Hand feeding the animals was great & the peacocks roaming freely was a sight! The only thing is the SC heat makes for a short visit diring the summer if your not properly packed! All animals (besides the monkeys honestly) looked well kept, just hot!! The big birds were my favorite!! Definitely something we will be back to enjoy!

My wife and I had a lot of fun here. Food bags were a decent price. There was a crapload full of turtles that we fed in a lake. There was over 100 I'm not over exaggerating. I like that the deer was free roaming around. One got very close to us and we gave it food. I loved seeing a bear up close. Bigger cages are needed yes but I really loved this place.

I remember going here as a kid and it is still as pristine and enchanting today. The only down side is that society as a whole doesn't appreciate the simpler and cheesy nature of life 20 years ago. Too bad because there is still so much fun and memories to be hard here. The buildings and restrooms were to notch in appearance and cleanliness. We'll worth taking the time to take selfies with the many quirky statues and props. Go here to make a few memories with your family and remember the nostalgia.

Not a 5 star place but my room was huge, very clean and a comfy bed. The village is a fantastic little tourist trap. Had a great breakfast at the place next to the gift shop and a really good steak under the sombrero... you should spend a day here just to say you did it, tell your kids Disney world was closed and that was the #2 option

Kids loved it. I definitely enjoyed buying things. All different types of things. The cleanliness, the feeling the experience brings and the level of enjoying South Carolina.

A Stay to Remember… for All the Wrong Reasons 1. Wi-Fi in the room? Nope. I got so pruney sitting by the pool just trying to check my emails. 2. Hours of operation: We know it’s off-season, but shutting down almost everything at 7 p.m.? Meanwhile, fireworks are 24/7? Make it make sense. 3. Amenities: The shampoo provided was enough to wash exactly one butt cheek. 4. Toilet paper: Felt like sandpaper on my poor behind. Please invest in Charmin Extra Strong—your guests will thank you. 5. The TV situation: Pretty sure I needed a telescope. Was that a 26-inch screen? Walmart has 40-inch models on sale. Just saying. 6. The bed: I didn’t realize I’d booked a stay with the Flintstones. The bed was harder than a slab of granite. 7. Check-in: The new front desk staff couldn’t find my reservation. After digging through my junk email they finally located it. We got a parking pass but no directions, so we looped around like idiots. #TrainingNeeded 8. Gift shop: Decent, but please restock your light-up keychains. Out of N’s, R’s, and L’s! 9. Cultural note: Not a single Mexican in sight. Was hoping to see at least one of my fellow people. #Latino #MiRaza 10. Activities: No mini-golf? Missed opportunity. 11. Room privacy: The blinds didn’t close all the way. Had I not changed in the bathroom, my “hot bod” could’ve been a free show. 12. Phone book nostalgia: Found a Yellow Pages from 2013. Fun trip down memory lane, but maybe update it? Half those numbers probably belong to ghosts now. 13. Coffee tragedy: The Folgers machine nearly scalded me. Then the powdered creamer looked suspiciously like crushed Tums tablets. Might want to check those expiration dates. --- Final thoughts: Between the Flintstone mattress, the single-cheek shampoo, and the Tums creamer, this stay was one for the books. Would I come back? Only if the Wi-Fi reaches the room and the toilet paper stops waging war on my butt.

I had a pool pass. The place was empty. I had a lovely swim for at least 20 min. The water was refreshing, not overly warm. The place could use some cleaning/painting. It felt like an abandoned gem. The geodesic dome is really nice from the water

Really enjoyed my stay. Room was HUGE. It's very quiet .it's old school and cozy. This is where I like to stay , instead of modern boring hotels that are popping up everywhere . Parking is very convenient . Friendly staff. Clean, beds and sheets are so comfortable . The room is spacious and at a great price.

Had a great time and haven't been there since the 70s. The rooms are dated but it was great overall just because it brought back memories as it child going on vacation and staying there with my family. It would be nice to say all of the rooms updated like some of them had been renovated but the ones we were in if there was any renovation done it was very minimal. Thank you for the wonderful stay and the wonderful memories but I had staying there with my sister and I traveling to Florida.

First time at this race track and it was a amazing experience. We stayed in Florence just outside of Darlington, getting to the track was easier than expected. Parking was not bad either, the police officers did an exceptional job with traffic control and letting people have fun without harassing. Fans were there to watch the race and party but were very respectful. After the race we stayed in the grandstands for about an hour then walked to the car and stayed for another 30 minutes to let the traffic lighten up. It was easy to get out and make it back to the hotel without big traffic jams. I would definitely say this would be a great race for the family to experience. 👍

We stayed in the infield for the 75th anniversary throw back race and lots of weird rules. No bicycles. Dogs can’t be outside of your campsite. Meaning you can’t walk them. Very very tight parking and hard to move around with a camper. Get in early cause if you don’t you won’t. Some of the long timers are not very understanding on why they can’t park there car in your campsite. Weird I know. But we had fun meet some of the drivers and did laps for charity.

This place was a awesome experience! I got to go through a whole new atmosphere, the second I entered property. I drove 8 hours to get there and it was totally worth it without a doubt!!! The museum they have is also very informing and great to learn about your favorite cars! I recommend coming and enjoying your time at Darlington raceway!

The venue was awesome, however you need to be prepared to do a lot of walking from where you park to the actual track. Nascar is always a great time.

I hadn't been in twenty five yrs. Nothing has changed, but the drivers we had a great time me and my son.

Always a great time! Friendly people and not a bad seat in the house.

Tom my mother, sister and a family friend to our first race at this venue and made memories. Now we are planning coming back next year

A wonderful place! We walked along the boardwalks and couldn't believe all the birds and different varieties of plants. I highly recommend it. Lots of stairs and tree roots be prepared. Only thing stopping me giving 5 stars is that they have fallen behind on maintenance and it could use donations and a face-lift. Support this oasis.

A great place to go and enjoy scenic trails. Thank you for inviting Darlington County Humane Society out to take part in the Earth Day Celebrations! Our sweet adoptables thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

The Mrs. And I wanted to go for a walk outside. We hadn't been to Kalmia Gardens so mad a drive. It was very nice. Smaller than I expected, but in retrospect, quite a nice size park in such a small town. There is a nice old historic house and the oldest tree in SC. The tree reminded me of the lone Cypress in Monterey - kind of a cyborg of wood and supporting metal. But cool. If we go again we'll need to make several trips around the park to make it worth burning gas to take a walk.

It was a cloudy and rainy Sunday...IT WAS PERFECT!!..for the stroll over and by the creek. Ate a lite lunch on the kayak dock.

I loved this garden. The azaleas were blooming and some camellias. The trails were a little challenging for my companions, but beautiful and peaceful. I had no problem avoiding the roots and navigating the slopes. The boardwalk through the cypress groves was awesome. A really wonderful experience.

Wonderful place to visit. We didn't get to walk the whole thing, but we did enjoy the time we were there. Lots of flowers were in bloom, so there was a lot of beauty to be seen. We loved walking the trail by water, it was very peaceful and the paths were great. We can't wait to go back when it is warmer and even more flowers are in bloom.

Great walking trails. Always open and free.

Hot day. Very impressive art work. Neighborhood is nice.

A neat little spot to see. Some of the pictures appear to be older as it is not as up kept as some show. With that being said, the time and effort that goes into keeping up with something of this scale is nothing short of extraordinary. The houses around must be family or great neighbors because their landscaping matches the garden. All in all....if you are near by or passing through thr area it is definitely worth a stop

So inspiring what one person can do. Beautifully sculpted landscape on private property made public through the owner's generosity. Neighbors have also sculpted their gardens. Not far off the highway and well worth the visit. Town is being revitalized with shops and cafes being added.

Well worth the trip to Bishopville. Mr. Fryer had such a gift, and I am glad there is someone who will be extending his legacy. I'm looking forward to the day when all the water features work again. I was also glad to see that the public bathroom is open.

This garden is a hidden gem. As I got closer, there is a sign on the right side of the road notifying me to turn at the next left. As I enter the street, I was greeted with some topiary on both side of the street. I entered a neighborhood where the topiary garden is located. Note, parking lot is a large grassy area facing the house/topicary garden in the left. To start the self guided tour, cross the street and go to the right side of the house when facing the house, and there is a station where you can get info and brochure on the garden. There is a donation box, and please make a donation. Mr Pearl is in his 80s and not able to maintain the grounds, and Mike is helping with maintenance including trimming the trees and bushes. Some topiary appeared to easily figure out. I think I saw a Cobra, swans, but many, if not all, are abstract art. Use your imagination. There are also creative art displays. For example, there were bells with chain decorating a dead tree, a fountain built with an old stove, etc... My appreciation for this park went hundred times after learning the story behind this park. We were blessed with running into Mike Gibby-Scissorhands Gibson, who shated the story with us. He was so informative and was so nice to stop what he was doing to talk to us and answered all our question. He said that Mr Pearl often sit outside to meet some visitors. The restrooms are on the right side of the house in the back.

It's a nice place to see, impressive that one man would take his time to do all that. I have to admit I was a little disappointed though. From the things I saw online when researching I thought it was some huge attraction that the family can enjoy and have a memorable day with. We drove 4 hours from GA (total of 8 hours round trip). Took about 10 minutes to see everything. This was supposed to be the highlight of the childrens spring break 😂😂. I really don't want to take away from his hard work. I am really in awe that the owner did all that personally, I just wish I had seen a honest review telling me I was traveling hours to go see someone's yard.

What a beautiful garden maintained very well. The sculptures are nice too. I hope people donate and help this place. It takes about 30 minutes to view the entire garden.

The Battle of Camden took place during the American Revolution. It was a bad loss for us but this allowed for Nathaniel Greene to step in and lead our southern troops as general. Greene was a great leader and would become a hero of the South! There is plenty to see at Camden, old historic structures & homes from the time period. You can also see the house that Cornwallis (British) stayed at! The actual battlefield is 8 miles away and you can park and find the flags where our soldiers fell. One large granite stone was placed there to remember a Scottish soldier that died right there. Scotlands Royal Guard flew out from Scotland to pay tribute to their fallen soldier. Many of these soldiers were quickly buried just 6 inches under the soil during the Revolution. However, in the last 2 yrs, Camden has reburied all 13 soldiers found with full honors and new granite military headstones! I came for the celebration and was really moving to tears. There are several staff members on site to answer any questions. As we all celebrate 250 yrs of America, this is a place to visit and find our early history!

I doubt that many Americans really understand the Revolutionary War. Everyone has heard of Washington and maybe the crossing of the Delaware River, but his many know of the battle of Camden, Cowpens, Kings Mountain? The Camden Revolutionary Park is a wonderful piece of history. We took the tour and learned about the original village, the coming of the Kershaw family and the growth of Camden into the largest, and most important backwater town in all of the southern USA. As this place grows it will turn into even a better representation. The Visitor Center is really great and walks you through the entire southern campaign of the British invasion and how the Patriots turned the tide, mainly because of what happened in battles all around this part of SC. For a history buff it was very well done.

Neat little site with replica fortifications and some Colonial era buildings. The self guided tour was $10 for adults and took us about an hour to go through everything. Easy walking trails and beautiful grounds: a nice place to spend this bright and sunny Saturday afternoon.

Lots to see here in this reconstructed historic site. They've put lots of effort into the buildings they moved there, etc. The stockade was fun for my kids and so was the well.

A great place to learn about the history of our town and the Revolutionary War. There are lots of events/activities that go on here every month. They have house tours, lantern tours, tea parties, craft classes, and demonstrations happening all the time. We come and walk the grounds and the nature trail alot. The trail is short and flat, but if it has rained it will be muddy in places. It runs along the Pine Tree Creek.

Lots of reconstructed buildings, helpful staff. Take note that this is not the actual battle site; it’s about 15 minutes up the road.

There's a Goth festival here every year with speakers on a wide range of subjects both Historical and speculative,plus vendors selling material historically and subjectively related to the festival and history. The museums and locations on the site were beautifully period, educational and we specifically enjoyed the surprisingly delightful stories each unique to the local and regional areas. One could easily make a fun filled day, evening or several hours visiting during a special event, or set aside an hour or two during normal hours to enjoy the museums,& buildings built & preserved with interactive American revolutionary war period pieces and stories.

This statehouse was beautiful from the outside. However I was disappointed that it wasn't open for self guided tours on the Sunday that I was passing through. Regardless, toured the grounds and checked out all of the statues there. Enjoyed the design of the dome. It was very different than most. I'll put this on my list of visited capitals but unseen from the inside.

One of the coolest state houses I've visited! Unfortunately I only saw it from the outside but even then the whole area is clean, beautiful and well maintained! The state house itself has very beautiful architecture. If you are in Columbia definitely stop by and walk the grounds of the South Carolina State House!

Definitely recommend a stop here. There is also a parking garage near by and a short walk to the main street area as well. We spent a solid hour just outside walking around the grounds. Very beautiful building and interesting history here. Lots of it. The stairs and view outside is worth going to view alone. When facing the building from main street the original building was a little to the right until it was burnt down in a war. The city was great to view and enjoy for the bringing in of the new year. The fireworks were great and wonderful to watch from the middle of main street and the oldest streets in the city.

My son Cian went here before. He sent me beautiful photos of the ceiling. The whole building is extraordinary. I visited to really get a feel for it. The security guards were melting. Their faces were rimmed with welts and rashes. A fire coiled in the corner, slowly engulfing the walls. Their faces metal detectors went haywire as they combusted into flame. Despite this, nothing was burnt when I stomped the fire out. At least my feet hurt now. It gave me something to feel. The building must be incredibly indestructible!

The South Carolina State House is very impressive from the outside. You can walk around this impressive building, and it looks different from every angle.

Beautiful place, lovely grounds, quiet on the weekends. Highly recommended.

Visited the State House on Saturday after visiting the Soda City Market a block away. The security guard was very friendly & courteous. We removed our personal belongings to be x-rayed & walked through the metal detector without issue. We did not take the free tour, but wandered around on our own. 3 floors & not all rooms are open. There’s a gift shop on exit. Make sure you walk around the grounds outside. Very nice state house.

There are 4 floors with so much to look at. We started on the 4th floor and worked our way down. 3 hours and I don't think we were able to see everything. I have a mobility cart and it was so easy to move around and see the displays. Reasonably priced admission and well worth it.

Had a great time here! Went on the first Sunday so admission was just 1 dollar. Even though there was a good sized crowd, it wasn’t so large that I wasn’t able to see everything I wanted to. Great place for a family outing or just something to do to pass the time. Would definitely go back again for some of the other paid exhibits.

Disney’s Heroes and Villains costume exhibit was well worth a visit. It featured a captivating collection of iconic outfits worn by renowned actors and actresses in beloved films. Seeing the costumes up close was magical. The museum's broader exhibit was extensive, covering a wide range of subjects and historical periods. The displays were engaging, with some interactive elements that added to the experience.

Had a good time here at The South Carolina State Museum! Went on the first Sunday so admission was only a 1 dollar. Lots of exhibits to wander through and a nice gift shop!

Overall an enjoyable experience, but extreme cold from too much air conditioning and poor working order for many exhibits affects recommendation for visiting the museum. I estimate that 25% of the exhibits are at some state of disrepair. In addition, the planetarium show I went to, while very informative, was more of an academic lecture than an entertaining show. Regarding the 4D Coastal Predators show, the production value was descent, but it was only 10 minutes long. Lastly, the attached photo provides a perfect example of improvement opportunities throughout the museum.

My adult daughter and I had the best time at the museum and loved the heroes and villains expo! We're planning another trip back before it ends!

I had assumed there would be the expected exhibits: We farmed rice and indigo... We defeated the British when they tried to take over Charleston the first time... oops on the second time ...Slavery was a stain on our history... General Sherman tore us up... And, oh, here comes a railroad. What I was *not* expecting was the collection of early telescopes covering several hundred years and the observatory on the fourth floor. Seriously, it's a museum and you need to go to it.

We bought tickets online ahead of time and they were slightly cheaper and you paid for parking right then too. The park was great, we went for my son's first birthday and just walked around and enjoyed everything!! I used to go there as a kid so I wanted to take him there as well. We drove from Savannah, GA! Would definitely recommend for a family trip. Great place, looks clean, nice staff, easy pathways, animals look well taken care of. Fun all around!!

We were visiting from out of town and looking for something to do and what a pleasant surprise we loved the zoo and gardens! There's lots of animals to see, some we hadn't seen in any zoos back home. Then you can take their new sky tram (included in ticket) to visit the garden side. I'm not a huge fan of plants so I didn't have high expectations, but that side was excellent as well! Right now they have Lego sculptures on display which is fun. Lots of paths to explore and a huge kid area with water features (seasonal) and other fun things. If I were local I would definitely buy a membership.

I can’t believe this place is only an hour and a half from my house—how have I never been here before? I was absolutely blown away from top to bottom. The entire zoo is incredibly elaborate, and you get to see every type of animal, bird, reptile, and fish you can imagine. It was truly unbelievable. I saw stuff i never saw before and I am a zoo addict. The closeness to animals was amazing. Every animal looked happy and well cared for, and the enclosures were spotless. The price was very reasonable, and the staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. I’m still shocked by how many different animals you can see here. Five stars doesn’t even come close to doing it justice. If you’ve never been, you need to go. I visited at a time when there was almost no one there, but I’ve heard it can get busy, and annoying —so definitely try to pick your timing. Either way, it’s worth every minute and penny. Im coming back this week with my little brother sponsor.

Always love a trip to the Zoo with the family. This time we headed to the botanical gardens. Did not disappoint. Amazing staff, lots to see and the air ride over the lake was great amd saved us a walk between the Zoo and botanical gardens. Will definitely return in the spring.

Went on a fairly busy day, but were able to move through everything in about 3.5 hrs with two young kids. Loved this zoo. Its not too big and provides a lot of shade on the paths and theres a good mix of indoor/outdoor exhibits, so going in summer won't be horrible. Theres a lot of events for kids like animal feeding, obstacle courses, carousel, and lots of food/bathroom stations scattered around. For 2 adults and 2 kids, it was over $100 to get in, but that didnt include the extra costs for animal feeding and extra events.

We’ve been here twice already, and we really love this place! Everything is compact, so you don’t have to walk too much. There are so many animals, all of them are adorable. Sometimes you can even see the feeding time, usually around noon. The area is clean and well-kept. I love animals, so I try to come here as often as I can.

The animals at Riverbanks Zoo are well cared for and very well fed. The zoo is small enough to walk in an afternoon but has so many animals and things to see that you could easily spend the entire day! Definitely get the upgraded family membership. Feeding the animals over and over was a must when we went.

Beautiful building outside. Did get to see the lobby only. Did try seeing the stage and seating area but the young lady that we asked said that the troupe that came in did not want us to come in since they had just arrived and were about to set up and didn’t want to be disturbed. We drove a long distance to see this historic place and considered a show after we saw the lineup. But…! The young lady was nice to us and tried for us, and we thank you. We signed the register and decided to move onto our next city (Greenville). We’ll come back another time maybe.

Adorable place, small and quaint. I sat in orchestra on the side which was a good thing, cause if I sat on the floor being short at only 4'11" with big ladies standing up and dancing, i wouldn't see a thing!! Also they say no pictures or videos. They dont endorse that at all. Otherwise, it would have gotten a 5 star.

What a Great place to catch an intimate show/concert. I was told its been redone and its very nice. Not a bad seat in the house. Do note that the balcony seats on right side upper are single file. Meaning if you buy 2 together you will face the stage and also stare at the back of your partners head! (Single file seats facing fwd) They offer booze (beer&wine!) Bathrooms are clean nice and updated. Staff was excellent. Saw a Ben Folds show(Indie piano guy) and the mix was done great. Slight hum on right side speakers but that was easily ignored.

Great venue for concerts. Very interesting decor as a smallish version of the 'Grand Old Opry House' with plenty of comfy seating. A major plus is their excellent sound system. Staff is friendly and helpful. We'll visit again soon!

Newberry Opera House provides comfortable, small venue for classic groups and shows you won't find elsewhere. Feel up close and great seats throughout. Earth Wind and Fire Tribute band even came into spacious lobby post-show for greetings! Great time, always, at the lovely Opera House!

I had a wonderful time at the Newberry Opera House! The place was packed, and every seat was a great view. I got to see Black Violin in concert, and I would definitely return to this venue. The opera house is beautiful and easy to find.

Awesome venue. Small intimate but able to feel like it is the center of the universe no matter what show you see.

We just had to stop in an see this landmark after hearing about it on TV and such. It was a bit out of the way, winding around to get to it and GPS wasn't the best. You have to let yourself through the gate to get into the park area. It was worth the stop to see it for real, and read the history presented at the park. It has been the point of jokes, and you can clearly see why in person. A great artistic idea that turned out a bit different than planned I guess.

Awesome landmark! So cool to see it every time I head north or south on I-85. For closer looks there is parking.

How super cute is this! We randomly saw it on the map as we were driving through, so decided to stop for our picnic lunch. Fully fenced in, well-maintained grounds, peach trees, and 2 picnic tables. We even had it all to ourselves. I love finding spots like this. Tiny parking area.

Online says open 24 hours BUT on the fence says it closes at 5pm. So we had to take pictures from outside the fence. Still very neat to see.

Just driving down the interstate...when all of a sudden...a giant peach appeared out of nowhere! it was not on my itinerary but I had to stop and visit...(I mean how could I not?). There did not seem to be any signs directing visitors towards it...I thought I could figure it out...but it turned out to be a job for google maps. There is very limited parking. It would be hard fit for a larger car or truck. But it was whimsical, artistic and awesome. It is surrounded by a small park with picnic tables. Definitely worth a stop especially if you have kids. A great photo op for them to show their kids when they get older. 5 stars foy the Peachoid! (No admission or tickets required).

Gates were closed when we went. The resturant (Fatz) is closed and very much run down, so theres nothing else to do but look at the peach. Still a cool roadside oddity.

Although the former restaurant that was there is a safety hazard and an eye sore. It was a great spot to get a different view of the famous Gaffney Peach. The wiffey and I had a cooler full of food and drinks stopped by and had lunch. Then our back roads home was fantastic. GREAT way to spend time and see the sights with the ones you care about.

The Gaffney Outlet Marketplace is a large outlet center. Overall it’s fine but looks a little old and not perfectly maintained. They do have many of the large brand name stores that other outlet centers have, but many of the stores are closed. The stores that are there are great but the place is not very busy. We had a good time shopping there.

Some store are closed but we found what we were looking for. Some brand names had really good prices and we bought some things . It is a little dated since we have been here first few time about 15 years ago. Food court only had one option that we didn’t use.

This outlet could be great if the owner took pride in the location and renovated the building. With a few improvements, it could easily attract new businesses, but in its current state it’s not worth stopping for.

Bath & Body is the only great place to shop. More outlets here would be beneficial to the public. UGG, Kate Spade, Children’s Place, Corning, & Perfumania would do well.

A little busy but all shops are limiting entrance. Plenty of stores to choose from and a nice escape from corona lockdowns. All shops require masks and the sales and discounts flow like water. Downside is the wait at some stores. Not all have lines though.

This yellow building was once a Great Mall to go to. Most of the spaces are closed. The only restaurant left in the food court is a Chinese place. The mall looks abandoned with the exception of a few stores that are left.

This Outlet Village has definitely seen better days. Lots of the buildings are run down, there is litter laying around, half of the stores are either closed or almost empty, the restrooms are disgustingly dirty. Made a good bargain at Ralph Lauren but would definitely not recommend coming here.

Got their Philly cheese steak with fries. Meat, veggies, and bread were on point. The cheese tasted weird..I would probably get it again but without cheese or maybe sub the cheese for a different kind. It tasted like beer cheese? Or cheese you dip pretzels in. Fries were super good and the staff were incredibly friendly!

Really enjoy this brewery. The wheat/peach based Son of a Peach is amazing. It used to be available around Norris Lake in Tennessee but it is no longer distributed to this part of the country so I made a run from Cincinnati exclusively for picking up several cases. Well worthy the effort Also enjoyed the fish and chips which were perfect and brought out extremely fast. Great staff, great facility. Highly recommended.

Love this home made brewery. The live music is fun and they allow friendly puppies.

I have been twice recently and have not been disappointed by the food or beers! I’ve had the fried Phunky Chicken Sandwich and the Buff Puppies. The chicken was much larger than the bun which provided a few challenges but I would go back any time just for the Buff Puppies. The smash burgers are pretty tasty as well! It can be a little loud at times, but doesn’t make it impossible to talk and have a great time. I will definitely be going back.

this bar is THE hidden gem of spartanburg! their cocktails are out of this world! if you’re in town for a concert or a spartanburger game, this is THE PLACE to pregame. ask the bar staff what their recommendations for cocktails or beer are! they’re super helpful and can help you kick off your night the right way! also try the wings! best in spartanburg! smoked and house made sauces!!!

Was in town passing through for business. Great atmosphere usually live bands the nights I would patron. Barkeep we’re usually very friendly and the pace is broken up into two sections. 1 for the main taproom and the other will a full bar. All in all the experience was great and enjoyed the brews! Cheers!!

We did not come at a very good time to catch this place at its best, so I don't think we got to see how much fun this place could be. We'll definitely be back to check out RJs a few more times, and I hope to be able to bang out a solid 5 stars for them. I understand you can bring your dog to a certain area of the bar, so that's a pretty cool feature that I'd like to try out.

We got married at here in April and it was absolutely perfect. We did more of an elopement feel with a small ceremony and dinner. Tess was AMAZING to work with!!!!!!! She helped me with every detail from the schedule to the seating for the ceremony and seating for the dinner and catering set up and so much more. Every detail was perfect!! She made the process so simple. Tess helped set up everything, asked all the right questions, and truly made the day amazing. Other staff were so kind. Bebe fixed my hair right before I walked down the aisle!!!! I can’t say enough good things about our experience here. We also got engaged here the year prior and they custom made a label for my fiancé to propose!! We will be returning customers forever!!!

For our first winery experience me and my significant other really enjoyed it. We were greeted with a friendly staff. The wine tasting experience is a must with the amazing charcuterie board. My girlfriend really enjoyed herself and this actually made her birthday special with it both being our first winery experience.

Our group reserved a private event space here for our 30 year high school reunion. I worked with Tess to plan things prior to our arrival. She was amazing and so helpful during the planning process. When I arrived I was greeted by one of the owners who was so welcoming and she introduced me to Brittany and Caleb who were assigned to our party. The set up was beautiful. We had light and heavy hors d’oeuvres and with our event we were able to choose the 3 heavy options and we selected Chicken meatballs, Whipped Ricotta with Walnut Crostini, and baked brie. Everything was delicious! I asked Brittany to play 90’s R&B and it was the perfect backdrop to our class of 95 reunion. Caleb managed our tasting and he did an amazing job.!! We told him we liked more sweet wines and he changed some of our options that were on the tasting sheet. My favorite were raspberry, green apple and the Carolina peach muscadine. I highly recommend coming here for a group event. The vineyard was beautiful and shaded for a 5pm reservation in mid June.

We stopped here on our way from Savannah to Greenville. What a lovely place. We purchased 2 flights and a couple of bottles of wine. The property is absolutely stunning. Crystal was very helpful and sweet. We’ll definitely be stopping by again any time we are in the area.

First time here and first time doing wine tasting for the both of us. Our host, David, was absolutely amazing! Very friendly, very knowledgeable, and provided excellent service. Would love to come back!

We came to City Scape for bingo and have visited the winery several times before, usually with a great experience. The woman at the front counter was incredibly warm and welcoming, which started the night on a positive note. Once we sat at the bar, though, the service felt off compared to what we’re used to. Our bartender was friendly, but she would start talking to us and then quickly switch her attention to other guests mid-conversation. It happened several times and made us feel overlooked. There was also another young blonde employee who came across pretty short and made a “we’ll get to you when we get to you” type of comment that didn’t feel very welcoming. Overall, the vibe just wasn’t as warm or attentive as our previous visits. We still enjoy City Scape and will be back, but this particular visit didn’t meet the usual standard.

This place is amazing! Everything is Instagram worthy! The bar is so nice, great atmosphere with a scenery outside that is just lovely. My husband and I were here for the "sip and bites" event and there are no words to describe the experience. The decoration was dreamy. The sitting family stile was fun an interesting. The food was absolutely delicious and the pairing was perfect. They have the best wine on the region. the nicest staff ever, very single person we interacted with, beginning with the hostess, everyone at "sip and bites", the guys at the food truck... every single person here are the best of the best of the service industry. Please don't miss this experience and if you have a chance try their pinot grigio and the watermelon moscato.

Cool walk along present and past BMW vehicles produced in the plant there in Spartanburg County. A very cool building with the fountain outside made for a neat experience. They even had a few of the BMW motorcycles on display that were nice looking.

Don’t go with big expectations they have a few classics BMW’s and a sample of all the latest. No reservation required and is walkin to the museum. Clean space nice little cafe and a BMW souvenir store. Takes a max of 30-40 mins to go around

Very informative tour, beautiful facility. Impressive machines and efficiency of factory. Loved that they take you on a bus, give you safety goggles and headphones to guide you through the factory.

The building is an architectural art piece. The museum itself is lacking. Only about 20 cars, 5 worth seeing and 3 motorcycles. Video is interesting. Snack cafe has a few offerings. Most everything in the gift shop is made in China and overpriced.

Very nice tour. Just wish you could take pictures on the tour. Amazed to see how much is sourced from the local area to make each vehicle. Makes me want to buy one.

This was park of a factory tour and we enjoyed it but there is not much to see at the museum and at the factory. It is about a 30mins walk inside the factory at most, a lot of robotic arms and not much to see as they have fence all around.

I visited on 3/6/24. Our tour guide was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions. The tour did not seem rushed and we were able to see many facets of vehicle assembly (excl drivetrain, mechanicals, interior), especially fit and finish. The museum was compact, but comprehensive. I wish they had some additional motorcycles on display; there were only four and I hoped the display would include adventure bikes. Maybe they didn't feature more because they aren't produced there? (Hey, BMW, they don't take up a lot of room!) The biggest miss was the gift shop. I wouldn't be so harsh had I not previously toured the Munich plant (Sept. 2016) and experienced that store. Munich's store was nothing short of phenomenal. Reasonally priced, custom-made goods, with European flair and design. I previously purchased a black "BMW Welt" women's fitted v-neck t-shirt with cool, unusual graphics and made with thick cotton, a "BMW Welt" rollerball pen, a blue "BMW Motorrad Motorsport" women's fitted v-neck t-shirt (again, thick cotton with white and red sleeves and a BMW logo appliquéd patch, a silkscreened image on the other sleeve and "BMW Motorrad Motorsport" larger and written down the back, on the reverse). What the Greer, SC facility did have was two light pink women's shirts that I wouldn't be caught dead wearing (one was a polo shirt). I saw nothing with "BMW Zentrum" on it. Instead what I found was typical American apparel with overinflated prices. I was interested in purchasing items for my three young grandchildren. There was nothing I could find to purchase for them! Two boys and a girl, ages 7, 4, and 2! My son always asks me to purchase books from where I visit for them. I purchased "Greenville, SC" books for them at O.P. Taylor's Toy Store in DT Greenville. I also wanted to purchase a book about the facility. There were no books, postcards, coloring books, children's books, or any reading material for that matter! During my visit I walked through the store three times to make sure there wasn't anything I missed. Nope. This facility has been open for 20 years! What gives? The gentleman working behind the counter in the Isetta Cafe made a perfect, European cappuccino! Bravo. Addendum (2/6/2025): The other day, my grandson was wearing one of the items I bought at the Munich museum gift store in September of 2016. I am adding them to my photos so someone at BMW can see the difference in items offered in the Greer location gift shop.

I had a blast going here. I did think it was going to be a bit more but I still enjoyed. I am excited to go back during Christmas to see what they have going on. As a mother I would not travel a long ways to go here. I also wouldn't drive the nicest car I have. Lol. I may have a little horn bump but what did i expect? Great laughs and beautiful animals.

We went for the Magic of Lights, it was so packed and I'm guessing if you have young kids it'd be great, but it was just OK, the best part was the drive thru deer experience, but that cost an extra ten bucks and no where does it say that when you choose which way to go, it'd be nice if the sign said "for an additional ten dollars, drive through out deer experience", because although that was the best part, it wasn't anything special. Great for little ones, teens and adults not so much, but I will be back for the zoo itself.

Their light display was one worth of the patience to experience... well maintained, though a little muddle, so don't wear good footwear. The deer forest was worth the admission and feed. Cows and deer came right to the vehicle and there was sure enough deer to keep you on your toes driving.. bring Hand wipes and sanitizer. Cows and bulls will sure make you wish you had some ... but hands down, best experience I've had the privilege to make memories from... Thank you hollywild.

We were very disappointed with our visit today. The main entrance listed on the website was closed, and there was a sign saying that all information is on the website. The website clearly stated that it is open on Sundays from 1–5 pm. We arrived at 1:30 pm, but everything was closed. Later, we saw another sign on the road pointing to a drive-thru, but that area was closed too. We even drove around the entire place, and every gate was locked. We also saw another car driving around, clearly trying to find an entrance as well. Our child was very upset, and the whole day was ruined. Very frustrating experience.

Took my mom and daughter. We had a very nice night. The wait at the beginning was about 10-15 min, after that, no wait at all until we got in line for the deer forest. It is very very muddy, but no a problem for my vehicle.

3HOUR WAIT TO GET IN. Seriously we got in line which is over a mile long at 5:45pm... they close at 9pm. We didn't get to the lights till 8:50pm a WASTE OF MONEY! We drove over an hour to get here and I bought tickets ahead of time in so we had to wait 3hrs for less the nothing. 3 hours 3 HOURS for the line to split into 6 lines.... 2 of which DON'T MOVE. Only to go back to 1 single line. Seriously the 2 far left lines don't get in them youll be stuck watching everyone else get in. The women working the shack are too busy chatting and having "technical issues" to get people through. Watched 12 cars in the line to our right get through as we just parked. I finally had to walk up to the shack and ask whats up and magically the line is moving.... then the person "directing Traffic" let's just the cars to the far right go and forgets there are other lines. I paid $90 to sit in a parking lot..... we also didn't get a chance at santas villages, too long to get in. My kid was heart broken at not getting to see santa or the grinch. Also if you buy online TELL THEM they aren't paying attention so deer forrest, small toys you buy if you don't tell them you don't get it. Just this was a horrible experience. 1 of the geese in the park also has a messed up beak and I felt so sorry for it. We got in 9minutes before they closed. Just not worth it. Paying $90 to get to see some ok lights and animals that are now overfed so the deer forrest wasn't worth the extra $10. None of the animals were hungry anymore. So not worth it. So terrible, I've been coming to hollywild since I was a kid....and honestly this is the WORST I have ever seen it. You'll be paying for a parking lot experience. This just was horrible. I wasted money and more importantly so much TIME.

We go every year. It’s a Christmas tradition. It always worth it. I highly recommend the deer farm! Go early because if you don’t, the animals get full and they won’t eat as much. Always a wonderful experience.

We visited for the Earl Scruggs music festival 2025. This place is like a mini city. It has several restaurants and shops, lodging, a general store, carousel & more. We had seats in the grandstand section which was shaded. Everything appeared to be pretty accessibility friendly. There were elevators to reach the grandstand area and a long section stretching the width of the seating area for wheelchairs or scooters.

Fantastic show venue with so many details keeping it fun for spectator and exhibitors! Lots of real restaurant choices, shoppes ans boutiques, as well as plenty if seating for the main event! Highly recommend the venue for your horse show list!

We had a great time at the Saturday Night Lights in May. The food at the Legends Club was one of the best meals I have had, and trust me, that says a LOT! The jumping competition was exciting and fun to watch. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful. That is the one word that describes this place. The barns for the horses, the rings, and everything else equestrian is top notch. The accommodations for the people is just as good! Plenty of cabins, of various sizes, a hotel, an Inn, and spots to set up RVs. A variety of places to eat so there is something for everyone. It is all laid out wonderfully so getting around is very easy. Will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone. You can tell the staff cares about what they do and where they work. They do an amazing job of keeping everything clean and well maintained.

Saturday Night Lights is always an enjoyable experience for me and my teen/preteen kiddos. Lots to see and do. We enjoy the window shopping, the activities, the live music, special events, the large variety of food options, etc, etc. It's neat and clean, well organized, beautiful scenery!

I went to check out the Earl Scruggs Music Fest 🎶. It was nothing like I imagined it would be, but still enjoyed my time there. Seriously, between finding 704 Leatherworks tucked away in the back near the silo bar, where Laura & Rhonda helped me build a really one of a kind hat that I LOVE ❤️. They were both extremely welcoming and full of creative ideas. The mayor of the Shop, Miles, slept on one of the hides while we designed my hat. Once I finished my hat I had worked up an appetite so, I went on the hunt & found the Silver Spoon Saloon. I ordered the Beer Battered Mushrooms & the Bison burger. I replaced the cheese from Gouda to Cheddar. The bacon jam was really good! The burger was really too raw almost bloody inside , but with the wait time & being as busy as they were, I really didn't want to wait another 30 minutes to try again. The Mushrooms tasted like they were freshly made & not from a frozen bag. Live music going on inside, so if you are looking to have any kind of conversations, this isn't the place. They even have cards on the table to let you know to keep conversations to a minimum while their entertainment is preforming. My final highlight of my time spent at the festival was Bonnie Bouche and her Fine Chocolates. They are tiny masterpieces. Attention to detail both in presentation & flavor combinations. On the average a piece is around $3.25. They are not inexpensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. I wish she shipped, but I also understand that for quality control & standards. Fresh, First Hand, Instant Gratification is Best! 😋 With that being said, there were plenty of vendors for all types of treasures to be found & had. My lasting treasure came from 704 Leatherworks & my tasty treat, Bonnie Bouche. If you make it that way, I hope you will stop in & make a hat or try some treats!

The PBR was outstanding as usual. The Tryon international equestrian center is not like going to a county fair rodeo. It has very comfortable seating that is covered. Also many vendors,a free concert, restaurants and things to do before the rodeo. A five-star recommendation is probably not enough stars. Well worth the money. I highly recommend this to any PBR fans or Rodeo fans. You won't be disappointed.

Smaller zoo which makes it great for toddlers! We were able to walk through in less than 2 hours. We purchased our tickets ahead of time, walked right in, and had no problems! They allow you to bring in outside food and drink as well which is always helpful with kids. The biggest attraction is the giraffes. We were able to feed them right at 10am when the exhibit opened. Would definitely recommend if you have kids in the area!

It's a small downtown zoo, so you have to have perspective. You can walk the entire thing while taking your time at each enclosure in 90 minutes. So if you are expecting the NC zoo size, then it's quite different. The variety of animals is quite good and on a calm and pleasant day you got to see everyone active. Distance to every animal is fairly close so getting pictures or seeing their movement is really easy. The entire park was clean, well laid out, and simple to navigate. Pricing was typical for concessions and souvenirs, and gate price was lower than your really big zoos which was nice to see. I was very impressed with what you were able to experience while being wedged into a near downtown area. I will come back.

Greenville zoo is a fun place for a family outing! If you can, I suggest you buy tickets online as it saves you $2 per ticket and all you have to do when you come to the gate is give the confirmation number and you are all set! I went on a Thursday and it wasn't that busy at all! I went with a friend and our young kids and they loved it! Especially the Orangutans and the Monkeys. We only had 2.5 hours to spend there including having our packed lunch which took a half hour of that time. We would have easily spent 3 hours in the zoo part and probably another hour at the park outside the zoo.

This is a small zoo. It's beautifully maintained. The animal habitats are well-designed and constructed. The exotic animals, birds, reptiles, and tortoises we saw looked in peak condition. The Barnyard exhibit is empty. It is going to be rebuilt. There was no litter or graffiti. It was our first visit. We definitely plan to visit again.

Such a fun time! Was busy but not over crowded. Went at 11 AM and left around 1 PM. Got to visit multiple areas more than once. It took us about 45 minutes to get through the whole zoo. Short sweet and cute for a quick spur of the moment, need something to do on a Saturday.

Fun day at the zoo with the kids and grands. Small zoo and some exhibits were closed. But still a cute zoo to visit. Very hot the day we went. They had misting stations around zoo, which helped cool things off.

Great spot for a family outing! We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn’t too busy, which made it easy to enjoy. It’s the perfect size for a 2-hour visit—you can see everything without feeling rushed. Our 3-year-old especially loved feeding Miles the giraffe, which was definitely a highlight. A fun, laid-back experience for families with young kids.

This was a very smart move the city made in creating this public environment for all to enjoy. They're lucky that they have this natural waterfall feature in their town. it's a great for the locals and a awesome place to stop as you travel. There's a parking garage nearby the charge $3 an hour we stayed for about 3 hours it was plenty of time to relax walk around grab something to eat and head on to our next adventure. The kids like going down to the water and walk on the cross the rocks. It was a very beautiful, and romantic we seen a couple get engaged there. Looking forward to our next visit there.

Amazed to see the waterfall inside the park & inside the city :) it was charming beautiful & clean. Entry is free. Fascinating to that park & surrounding areas were reclaimed & redeveloped - I can imagine it would have been such taunting task. Reedy riverside walk is awesome. Bridge adds to the beauty.

This park was so beautiful!! And it was within walking distance of our hotel (Embassy Suites). It was so peaceful here. We walked down the creek for about a mile. It was nice to see people enjoying such a beautiful green space together. There were walkers, joggers, and bikers all on the trail and people fishing in the creek. This is definitely a must visit if in the Greenville area.

It’s our first trip to Greenville and this downtown area is so impressive it makes you want to sell everything back home and move here!! So many dining options, then a great path to take an evening stroll, watch the waterfalls and the ducks. We loved it!

It’s truly a beautiful park with so much to see and well-maintained trails. You can even get into the water, and there are plenty of spots to relax or enjoy a picnic. If you’re visiting Greenville, I definitely recommend stopping by here. We parked a bit farther away, but parking was free for two hours.

What an outstanding place located right in the heart of downtown Greenville, South Carolina. The river played a major role in the development of the city from its settlement days forward. The park and the immediate area pay homage to that. A magnificent curved bridge spans the river high above, allowing terrific views of the falls and the rocks that form the bed of the river. There was not much water flow the day we were there, October 18th, but my understanding is that when there is a lot of rain it is an incredible sight to see. There are a lot of activities, restaurants, points of interest, and things to see within walking distance of Falls Park, so find a parking spot and take it all in!

Wow! This place is Beautiful! I could spend the whole day there! We are visiting and my cousin took us there yesterday and we thoroughly enjoyed our time! She said on Saturday they close down the street and put up a market. We are absolutely going to go back for that!🙂

Not a bad seat in the house. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Great place to see anything you like from Greenville's amazing Symphony Orchestra to plays and concerts. The acoustics are excellent for sound transmission and quality. It's a lovely building too.

Received an in person tour from Lindsay a week before my event. Needed to see a better view of seat uptime before I purchased. Tour was very good. Lindsay was very kind and helpful. Seats were every comfortable. Aisle way is bigger than expected so no problems there. The balcony is in fact high as hell. Just like all the comments mentioned. If that doesn't matter to you... it is a great view. Hope this helps. You can also look up view from my seat online and it will help as well. Learned that from Lindsay.

Peace Center was very easy to find being in a great location. There are tons of employees to accommodate finding your way, whether it be to find the restrooms or even a cocktail. Memorabilia station was quick and organized. The show Back to the Future was great. This was a gift given to us and isn't our normal entertainment but enjoyed the show. It was even equipped with a REAL DeLoren, moving stages and of course lots of singing.

Nice concert venue. Friendly staff, good acoustics, cheap parking near by. Get the private balcony seats!

Went here for the Witcher In Concert tour. Was a wonderful concert made better by this nice concert hall. Very spacious and comfortable seating for what it is and the outside of the hall was very clean and aesthetically pleasing to look at. Concessions were courteous and fast as well. All around, great.

I've gone to several concerts and shows at The Peace Center. Beautiful and not a bad seat in the house!

Wow!! The Peace Center in Greenville SC is a phenomenal venue for all sorts of concerts drama productions are musical theater. I’ve had the Privileged to enjoy many events, including @Wicked and @LionKing and @ Moulin Rouge. All FANTASTIC.

A pleasant little park. The Covered Bridge is beautiful but as you can tell it is the main and only attraction to the park currently. If you're in the area it's worth stopping by, but not something I would make a special trip to visit.

Nice little price of history and park. Great place to take a walk and also enjoy a picnic. Holiday pictures would turn out amazing here.

Campbell’s Covered Bridge in Landrum, SC built in 1909, 35’x 12’ featuring diagonal timbers and vertical iron rods. There are a few trails and a picnic area. It was a beautiful day and saw lots of colors.

Very cool old bridge in a nice park. Great place for lunch or to picnic. You can walk down to the waters edge to dip your feet on a warm day.

Really cool to see the last covered bridge in South Carolina and read the history behind it. There’s also a great little half mile loop trail. I was amazed at the actual architecture of this bridge. Definitely worth seeing.

Stopped right as it was closing. Was able to grab some photos. The bridge looks like it might not have much more life in it. Looks very crooked. Very picturesque.

Easy access, handicap parking, trails, well maintained, dog friendly, very pretty park

We love going to baseball games and enjoying them with friends. The venue is spacious and clean, and we can enjoy ice cream, drinks, and food inside the stadium. Everyone is very respectful and friendly. We especially like going to this stadium because it supports nonprofit organizations, such as the Hispanic American Women’s Association, which hosts the Hispanic Heritage Festival there to raise funds for scholarships for young students going to college. I believe it’s important to support businesses and establishments that give back to the community.

We are new to SC and I won tickets to the game. It was so nice!! All of the food and drinks were very reasonably priced. Staff w a s friendly. During the 7th inning stretch there was Tyler's Balancing Act which was so impressive and entertaining. The fireworks are the game were beautiful. Totally recommend for families visiting or locate residents.

Have been here for a few games now, and also have sung the national anthem here. Very classy stadium and just outside the downtown area. Friendly staff and all the locals I met were friendly as well. Food was excellent, there are many food options here.

Such a great stadium and family-friendly experience. They do not sell concessions in the stands, which I love. Plenty of bathrooms, concessions stands, information tables, trash and recycling bins, attendants. It's just very well executed. The between inning entertainment is also very well planned and engaging.

Fluor Field is a fun and welcoming place to watch a ball game. It’s unique as it includes the green monster in homage to its major league affiliate the Boston Red Sox. It’s great to see the stars of tomorrow in downtown Greenville. I highly recommend going on white claw Wednesday’s when they’re only 3 dollars. The fireworks after many of the home games are a great addition to cap off a fun night.

Absolutely stunning field! The facilities were spotless which is really difficult to do during an athletic event lol. We had seats on top of the Green Monster which is the green wall in the outfield. The view was incredible. We had an amazing view of the field and the surrounding buildings (a lot of work has obviously gone into this area). There were plenty of bars and restaurants surrounding the stadium so there was plenty to choose from. We found parking easily and affordably. I cannot say enough good things about the staff! I am disabled so going up and down steps is extremely difficult for me. The attendee escorted me to a restroom inside the team facilities so I wouldn't have to walk a long way. We chatted about minor league baseball and the different teams and fields which took away any awkwardness whatsoever. He then showed me where to meet him to get to an elevator after the game. He actually was waiting for me to make sure I got turned around correctly. While I was in the facilities I met one of the vice presidents and a couple of her interns. They were very down-to-earth and very friendly. We will definitely be making another trip up here! It is about a 2-hour ride but it was worth every single minute!

Tonight we went to our first game as SC residents. We were occasional Fenway Park fans, so we were excited to see a game that in in a stadium that was modeled after Fenway. Its much smaller and more affordable BUT my snapchat to friends back in NH fooled them. They thought we were in Boston! We loved the free parking and free trolley ride to the park and back to our car after the game. And, hats off to Greenville, SC police for posting at the parking lots for fan safety. That was awesome! Though we are Red Sox fans i must admit that we spent more time at Lowell Spinners games. We always found minors league MBL games to be more dynamic and way more affordable than Fenway. Boston is simply expensive. Period. So, we are delighted to find a Red Sox farm team close to our new home. BUT... and its a big one. The crowd is soooooo mellow. I think that the park tries to jazz things up, but the people could be a little more ummmm excited?? Also, just a suggestion for the owners of Fluor Field. I think you nailed it. Your park is truly a mini-Fenway and its wonderful, clean and your employees are fantastic. But... it cannot be a true replica of the real thing until you get a Dunks. I am not the biggest fan of Dunks, but I found myself wanting a Dunks iced coffee REAL BAD. Its part of the Fenway experience... along with the Sam Adams.. wink wink... power suggestion. Thank you Fluor Field and the Greenville Drive for a wonderful date night! We will be back... many many times.

Beautiful hike. We took the stairs up to the upper falls. Totally worth it if you can do it. There are lots of places to stop and take a break if needed. We visited on a Wednesday and it was not crowded at all. We feel truly blessed we were able to see both the lower and upper falls.

Catawba Falls is reputed to be one of the best water falls in Western North Carolina. Having just visited them, I would agree they're outstanding, and definitely should be seen. It is a very popular place, and though the parking lot is large and often nearly full, it doesn't seem crowded. The two falls are completely different in their appearance. Linked by a series of 500+ steps or stairs with an observation platform midway, a visit to both is worth the effort. From the parking lot to the Lower Falls is an easy mile hike that gradually gains elevation the closer you get to the falls. Many people will choose to turn back after seeing them and not climb the stairs. If you climb another 0.3 mi to the Upper Falls, you may return the way you came or continue up Ridge Trail (2mi) and complete a loop back to the parking lot. Initially the Ridge Trail ascend along a broad level path, giving glorious views of the Piscah Natl Forest. Then it begins a long, more shaded, downhill path until you arrive back at your car. The loop this way is highly recommend as most of it is downhill. Nice moderate hike; well maintained trails with some repairs being done. Trailhead is easy to find; near Old Fort & I 40 exit. Vault toilets and trail map at the starting kiosk.

A breathtaking place, full of stunning autumn colors. The trail can be completed in about two hours, but it’s quite a challenging climb. Heading right takes you up the stairs, while turning left leads to a longer, scenic path through the forest. Truly a must-visit for nature lovers!

We love this hike, especially in late fall as it’s a bit lower elevation so the colors hang around a little longer. Our two littles do great as it’s flat with slight gradients and stairs for the big ascents. There are two pit toilets which can get a bit of a line and parking can be difficult sometimes but there’s usually good flow with people leaving. The stairs are a beast if you want to do the full loop, but it’s easy to get to the base which still offers great views! And afterwards we love stopping by Foothills Watershed or Hillman for some snacks and bevs.

Strenuous hike either way you choose to go on the loop- highly recommend clockwise so you have 500+ stairs on the way down. Path well maintained entire way. Pretty waterfall up at the top but very crowded with people climbing all over and their stuff spread out on every available bench. Trek down the stairs was pretty with mini waterfalls all the way. Highly recommend starting early to avoid crowds, bring lots of water and not stopping except for short rests it will take you about 2.5 hours to complete. We went on a Thursday around 9am.

This is a pretty long hike but unfortunately I wasn't able to complete due to the person I was with. It was very busy in the afternoon, but it was a beautiful Saturday & the leaves were holding on to their last bit of color. There are places to stop & rest.

We had a group of 16 hiking this trail. Kids ranging from 3-8 years old and a few babies in packs. It was a good trail, wide and enough space. We chose to hike the 1.1 mile to the lower falls, had lunch and came back down. It is very beautiful.

Don’t ask to use the restroom 6 minutes before they open because the answer will be NO! I stepped into the delivery door to ask and after being told no, she closed the door fairly hard. I don’t understand the lack of empathy. I wasn’t trying to cut the line. Picking up 10 scones for our staff’s breakfast. This place has great bakery items, pizza and sandwiches. I come often and never have been disappointed. Returning for pizza pickup at lunch for a work event also. Have your receipt ready for online purchases. Good thing my co worker sent me the online receipt link since at the register I was told the scones were not part of the lunch order.

Flat Rock Village Bakery nails the wood-fired, thin-crust game — bubbly, crisp edges with a perfectly chewy center. The toppings are fresh, flavorful, and generously applied, and even 35 minutes later it stays hot and delicious. This is hands-down the best pizza in town — full stop. The classic organic crust is worth every penny, and if you like thin, light, wood-fired rounds, this is your place. It’s always my go-to when I want a standout pie with no fuss and all the flavor.

This is one of the most unique eateries in the area. Outdoor deck seating under a spreading tree, quiet and relaxing. My club sandwich was great and I may have added a pastry from the glass case full of enticing treats (hello pecan bar)!😋

This quaint bakery is situated directly on the main street running through Flat Rock. The parking can be difficult, but the food is worth a few extra steps. The staff is bubbly and professional, with warm invitation to enjoy excellent coffee and delicious food. Bagels, bread loaves, cookies, muffins, tarts and quiche are a few of the amazing in house pastries made to perfection. Their food options of pizza and sandwiches are delicious. I only have one recommendation for improvement. Destroy the recipe for the "ranch". I have never had a ranch that had lemon in it... It wasn't ranch. It actually made me quite sad.

Sweet little wood fired bakery, great local hub, kind folks, and comfy indoor and outdoor vibes. Cooperative Roasters coffee brewed to perfection.

Got the worst chicken salad I've ever had here. 3rd time visiting hendersonville but our first time eating here and Because of the reviews I thought it was going to be good but unfortunately it was not. The chicken salad was nothing but large pieces of red onion. Barely any chicken or any chicken salad at all on thr two large pieces of tough bread. So it felt like I was eating bread and onions. For thr price it was not worth it. Doesn't even come with chips or a drink. We got pizzas too and they were disappointing. The pizza cheese was just crumbled cheap parm and super salty. The pizza dough was so thin that you couldn't pick up the pizza without it sagging towards the floor. Would of been better off with frozen pizza from the grocery store. The only staff that was nice was the girl that took our order and thr lady that was very cheerful and smiling. She helped get some parm cheese for my husband. Because of them I gave the service 2 stars. Unfortunately we will not be trying them again. Spent almost $60 on terrible food.

We brought out of state guests here. Everyone loved their food. I had BBQ pizza with gluten free crust. It is a thin crust pie, but it was delicious! The flavors were great, and it is one of the best GF pizzas I've ever had!
