Spring Break is coming up, and summer isn’t far behind. Looking for a destination for a family vacation? We’ve got one that’s packed with history, culture, and indoor and outdoor activities — and it won’t break the bank.

Enter: Columbia, SC, a ~1.5-hour drive from GVL.

To make the planning easy, we’ve rounded up some of the top itinerary activities for you to choose from. Enjoy exploring, GVL.
  • History: Check out the South Carolina State Museum, EdVenture Children’s Museum, walking tours of Main Street, the Capital, and more.
  • Culture: You’ll want to plan a visit to the Columbia Museum of Art, enjoy the public art around the city, and maybe catch a family-friendly musical at Town Theatre or puppetry performance at Columbia Marionette Theatre.
  • Indoor and outdoor activities: Stack your schedule with a mix of family-friendly indoor activities and outdoor options to really get a feel for Soda City.
If you’re bringing your furry family member, you’ve got the pick of the litter when it comes to pet-friendly hotels. If you’d rather wake up to fresh air, pick from camping options, or opt for a bed-and-breakfast or full-service property.
Ready, set, stay in Soda City

Your favorite Falls Park memories

February: Breaking down Greenville Parks and Recreation success in 2024 by the numbers
We love our parks, we love the people who keep them beautiful, and you loved this article celebrating it all.

Grab your party hats. Our very own Falls Park celebrates its 20th birthday this year, and we asked you to share some of your favorite memories at this Greenville landmark. You didn’t disappoint.

“We had our first kiss at Falls Park. We went back to the same spot at Falls Park two years later and got engaged there. Now, we take our kids there to show them where our story started.”

“Furman Universty Flash Mob in 2011!”

“Eating at Passerelle Bistro overlooking the falls and walking through the gardens. We come down the mountain from Fletcher, NC at least once a month for a romantic walk in the park.”

“My husband completely surprised me by proposing to me on the bridge.”

“I proposed to my wife at the bench swing across from the waterfall on December 19th, 2015.”

We can feel the love, Greenville.

I found out after taking a DNA test in 2020 that I am fully Irish + English. Since then, St. Patrick’s Day has felt a little more special.
