Born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, I have watched it transition from a little town in the upstate to a rapidly growing city. For some, Greenville is a stop along the way. For others, it is a destination. Regardless of your duration, here are a few tips. This is my guide to Greenville, South Carolina, or as the locals say…”Yeah, that Greenville!”

Created for children 12 and under, the museum’s mission is to “spark a lifelong passion for curiosity and learning through play.” Exhibits are designed to enrich the knowledge of young children with enjoyment. They include components of art, health, environment, science, and other major subjects to help enhance learning.
