What if... the land where Greenville High School currently sits was transformed into a downtown convention center, splitting the land with workforce housing and relocating the school to an innovative downtown high school tower?

What if... Greenville had co-living spaces (think: adult dorms) like Chattanooga’s Tomorrow Building?

What if... the Church Street bridge was pedestrian-only? Can you picture it? We were inspired by @carfreegvl on Instagram. Think of it as Greenville’s own NYC High Line.

What if... the Reedy River was cleaned and treated so it could be used recreationally for surfing like the English Garden in Munich, Germany?

What if... there was a lazy river around Unity Park? And they brought back the McPherson Park Train?

Between gardens bursting with lush blooms and a spectacular exhibition of vibrant glass art, what could be better than spending a spring day exploring Biltmore?

How about going back again and again to experience the historic residence year-round? Because, let’s be honest, it can be hard to fit all 8,000 acres of history and activities into just one visit.

Luckily, you can enjoy the beauty of Biltmore every season with an Annual Pass, on sale at a $90 savings now through Tuesday, April 30. Keep reading to see how we spent our sunny spring day as Passholders + learn how you can Try This.

What we tried:

We took a complimentary-for-Passholders daytime tour of Biltmore, which included a journey through the lavish Biltmore House, the blooming gardens and grounds, and a fun-filled excursion to Anter Hill Village and the Biltmore Winery.
