Falls Park
Falls Park is undoubtedly the most popular spot in Downtown Greenville. The falls are a sight all in themselves. Of course, swimming is frowned upon, as is climbing on the rocks, but the view itself is still really nice. Taking a walk across Liberty Bridge is almost an act of initiation. If you haven't done it, did you really visit Greenville? Falls Park is also host to many plays during the warmer months, as well as the occasional movie night or two. For more information and events in the park, please visit http://www.fallspark.com/167/Falls-Park.
Fluor Field
Fluor Field is home to The Greenville Drive and hosts many home games during baseball season. With tons of seats to choose from, plenty of food and drink vendors, and a talented team, a baseball game is good for a date night or a family night. Fluor Field has also been known to do an egg drop during Easter time, so if baseball isn't your type of thing, then you might visit Fluor Field for the kids! To purchase tickets for the next Drive season, or see special events, please visit http://www.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t428.The Peace Center and The Bon Secours Wellness Arena
The Comedy Zone
The Comedy Zone is Greenville's best place for comedy. It hosts a number of eclectic comedians every month and even provides visitors with a chance to show their own comedic skill. Guests also get the chance to eat and drink while enjoying the show. Pour Boutique, also located Downtown, offers free admission to guests who attend The Comedy Zone shows. There are age restrictions on both places, so it's best to check https://www.greenvillecomedyzone.com/ for tickets and policies.
Coffee Underground
Coffee Underground isn't your standard coffee shop. While their coffee and dessert is to die for, they also offer a theatrical aspect to their atmosphere. There are open mic nights, comedians, poets and the like. For a relaxed, coffee shop vibe along with enjoyable performances, this is the place to go. For a calendar of events, please go to http://www.coffeeunderground.info/events.The Greenville Zoo
The Greenville Zoo is one of the smaller zoos to exist. However, they are constantly renovating and expanding where they can to increase the quality of animal life. The Greenville Zoo provides tons of educational opportunities for kids and families. With events like Boo in the Zoo, and cheap admission prices, what's not to love about a visit? For information about animal conservation, ticket prices, and special events, please visit http://www.greenvillezoo.com/.The Museums
Upcountry History Museum, The Children's Museum of the Upstate, and Greenville Museum of Art all boast a little bit of culture in their own way. These three locations hold information and fun for every age and interest. The Upcountry History museum is sponsored by Furman University, and the exhibits are constantly being changed for a wide range of exposure to different information. The Children's Museum has tons of interactive displays for children to get their minds running, to keep their hands busy, and to teach them about the world and the way it works. The Greenville Museum of Art is a standard art gallery that houses plenty of works for the passionate artist. All three places are known to host a variety of events and exhibitions to keep every age interested.The Swamp Rabbit Trail
The Swamp Rabbit Trail is perfect for the outdoor nature buff and the curious explorer. With 21 miles of nature to explore (starting in Travelers Rest on Tate Road, going through Furman University's campus and downtown Greenville, stopping at Greenville Tech on Cleveland Street), there are trails for every type of person. There are bike trails as well as walking trails. There are plenty of things to do and see while going along the trail. To see a full, interactive map of the trail and to get more information about trail construction and important information regarding trail safety, please visit http://greenvillerec.com/swamprabbit/I'm sure this isn't everything Greenville has to offer, I mean after all, it's constantly expanding, right? Though, to be fair, I made sure to list the majority of the top ten places in Greenville as ranked by TripAdvisor. That site backs up what I listed on top of suggesting even more fun around the area. I can only give so much information before you get bored, right? I'm almost done, I promise.
Let's not forget that there are plenty of events during the year to look forward to, such as Ice on Main in the winter. The area in front of the Courtyard Marriott is transformed into a small ice skating rink at the beginning of the winter season and goes well into the next year. There's Downtown Alive during the summer months, which hosts a variety of food vendors and musical acts. There's Artisphere, which hosts numerous vendors that showcase their talented hard work. There's the Greek Festival, which I think speaks for itself. I could go on and on. Main Street in Downtown Greenville is the place to be for events throughout the year.
Aside from these events and special places to visit, let's not forget about the restaurants and shops that line the streets of Downtown. It would take a whole other post for me to get through those as well. But just trust me when I say that they are all worth trying out.
Whether you're new or used to Greenville, this list (and the links I provided) should hopefully get you up and around, exploring new areas and participating in fun events. Greenville has something to offer everyone and you should never be in want of something to do, no matter the time of year.
