Spring break isn’t just for kids. Embrace your inner child at the South Carolina Aquarium, where you can explore the wonders of marine life while enjoying the beauty of Charleston.
From exhilarating dive shows and scavenger hunts to interactive talks and hands-on animal encounters, there’s something for everyone to see and do.
Whether you’re enjoying family time on the kids’ days off, taking a break from school, or unplugging from work, the Aquarium is a magical spring break destination.
Don’t forget to spring forward this Sunday, March 9 — daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m., so turn your clocks forward one hour. This means the sun will start setting ~6:45 p.m. in Greenville next week, giving you more time to play around our city.

What do you think of Main Street’s newest mural? | Photo by Blank Canvas Mural Co.
Greenville is home to a number of meaningful murals. Today, we’re sharing where to find some pieces — old and new — that really paint a picture of our city and beyond.
Downtown
Ballard Designs, the corner of South Main and River Streets | By Adam Schrimmer, Blank Canvas Mural Company | The beloved Coca Cola mural had to be removed from this corner near Falls Park when the historic building began its transformation, and local muralist Adam Schrimmer was tapped to create a colorful nod to Greenville’s greatest landmarks.
West End
Welcome to the West End, 1 Augusta St., Greenville | By Emanate Brands | Featuring a 1 Augusta address, this mural was conceptualized as a landmark to represent all the businesses down Augusta Street.
Midtown
Greenville, Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack, 420 Laurens Rd., Greenville | Timothy Maddox, painted by Jeremy Kemp | From the waterfalls to the swamp rabbit, this mural pays homage to Greenville and the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail.
What am I doing this weekend? I’m so glad you asked. I’ll be visiting one of my favorite things in Greenville — the South East Punk Flea Market. It only comes into town a few times a year, but whenever it’s here, I go. If this is a bit too eclectic for your taste, check out our guide to other markets across the city.
