This small foothills town delivers big fun for families

Greenville Has Plenty To Offer Families

From parks, playgrounds and trails to museums, restaurants and festivals, Greenville, South Carolina has plenty to offer families for a day or weekend excursion.

Explore and Picnic at Falls Park

Spend some time at iconic Falls Park, where the 355-foot long pedestrian Liberty Bridge spans Reedy River Falls. Grab a loaf of stecca bread from the Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery, along with local fruit, meat, veggies and homemade cookies to create an enviable picnic lunch to enjoy at the park. Many special events take place at the park throughout the year. During Artisphere, happening May 10-12 this year, you may be entertained at the park by an artist creating magnificent paintings. Any number of restaurants line Main Street during Fall for Greenville, one of the largest food festivals of the upsate and one of the most popular in the Southeast, happening Oct. 11-13.

Mice on Main

For fun at no cost, stroll along Main Street and look for the nine Mice on Main. These small bronze statues of mice are inspired by the classic book “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown. Children can use clues to see if they can spot the mice throughout the downtown area.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
