I'd highly recommend making an outing here!

Dear Friends, If…read moreyou want to make an educator happy try using the words free and learning opportunity in the same sentence. The Augusta Canal Discovery Center did just that on their annual Canal Day. I enjoyed it so much that I've returned three times since my Canal Day visit. The center celebrated their second canal day in April by creating a family friendly community event to show off the things that the center offers along with some fantastic performances. Canal Day offered free admission to their interactive exhibits where guest young and old could learn about the importance of the canal. I hadn't realized the significance of the canal until I started exploring. Augusta as we know it would be very different place if Henry Cummings had seen fit to use his intellect somewhere else in North America. After exploring the center, I snagged a discounted ticket on the Petersburg boat. Our facilitator was FANTASTIC!!! Even the littles were entertained with her knowledge and commentary. They also had fantastic performances that day. I didn't include a clip of the performers because I was so engrossed in their excerpt from their play, I completely forgot to record. I'm a sucker for kids showing off their talents. One of my former students performed and my smile was probably the biggest in the crowd. I'll always be in the front row cheering them on. Parents just know that once our kiddo, forever our kiddo. We love getting to see them blossom. I hope that Canal day continues to be an annual event. Until then, check them out. They offer several activities that include the following: Regular Admission: $6(adults), $4(senior/student ) or free with boat tour ticket. Civil War Tour: Call for more information Friday Music Cruise: $27( adults), $25 (senior/student/military). Saturday Music Tribute Tours: $27( adults), $25 (senior/student/military). Canal to Cloth Immersion Tour: $29 (adults), ($27senior/student/military). Group Suggestions for Tours: Have one person book your spots or agree to all book at the same time. The tours have a specific number of seats so you want to be sure everyone gets a spot in your group. Solo Suggestions: Prepare to make new friends and learn. The stigma of solo adventures is lessening and you'd be surprised how your friend circle grows by just getting out there. I would have met my friends Karin and Nikki without going on my solo adventures. Please share your story, reel or photo with me when you venture out to visit them. Wishing you much fun!

The scope of the canal here is quite impressive and to me, reminiscent of the canal that runs into…read morethe heart of Washington DC, as this one is from around the same time and has a notable aesthetic similarity. This one doesn't go all the way to the mountains, but you could easily spend a day on it on foot, and biking and boating are options as well. The infrastructure was good, and multiple open bathrooms and water fountains were available. The paths were generally quite wide (as former towpaths) and had plenty of space for bikes and pedestrians to share, with a couple of interesting exceptions. I didn't do any tours, but I expect the history is worth pursuing.

This is one of Augusta's most rewarding museums, a place that manages to tell a 12,000‑year story…read morewithout ever feeling overwhelming. The Augusta Museum of History is the city's oldest historical institution, founded in 1937 and now the only accredited museum in the Central Savannah River Area, which gives it a level of curatorial depth you can feel as you move from room to room. The museum's signature exhibition, Augusta's Story, begins with the region's earliest Indigenous cultures, including artifacts from the Stallings Island people, and then moves through the Colonial Era, the antebellum period, the Civil War, and the city's twentieth century reinventions. You see everything from slave‑made pottery to a 12‑pounder bronze Napoleon cannon tube and an 1869 steam fire engine tied to the devastating 1916 fire that reshaped parts of the city. It's a rare chance to see Augusta's full arc laid out in a way that feels comprehensive. The museum also excels at capturing the city's cultural identity. The James Brown gallery is a highlight, celebrating the life and global influence of the "Godfather of Soul" with photographs, stage pieces, and biographical context that show how deeply he shaped Augusta's modern identity. Several media options to watch him performing and to hear other leading figures discuss his influence. The golf and Masters Tournament section offers a thoughtful look at how the sport became intertwined with the city's reputation, and the medical history exhibit includes an impressive wall of antique medicine bottles that gives you a sense of how local healthcare evolved over generations. One of the most enjoyable parts of the visit is the Transportation Corridor, which brings Augusta's mobility story to life with a 1914 steam locomotive, a 1917 steam trolley, a reconstructed 1930s gas station, and a range of early vehicles. Walking through the restored streetcar and stepping into the rail car for photos adds a tactile, playful element that balances the more traditional exhibits. Upstairs, the museum's radio history exhibit traces the rise of WBBQ, one of Augusta's most influential stations, including a "then and now" section installed for its 60th anniversary. There are also exhibits on local law enforcement and firefighting, as well as a gallery of regional legends that highlights entertainers, athletes, writers, and other notable Augustans. The entire museum is comfortably explored in about two hours, which makes it an easy and rewarding stop whether you're spending a full day downtown or pairing it with the Morris Museum of Art or the Riverwalk. It's the kind of place that leaves you with a clearer sense of Augusta's character, from its earliest settlements to the voices and industries that shaped the city you see today. Don't miss it.

The first floor has a pretty extensive history of the city and was very interesting. The second floor has about five other sections including golf, James Brown, medical, and locals.

So your kiddos can go play while you let the dogs play. The dog park has two fenced in sides. The first side is for the 35lb and under dogs, the other side is for the 36lb and over dogs. Each side has water stations, about 8 poop bag stations, benches some with umbrellas, fire hydrants that spray water, and activities to keep your dog entertained. The only thing that I don't like about the dog park is the lack of shade for dogs. They have two bench areas on each side that have umbrella covering but it's more for the owners of the pets than anything. Seeing as it gets extremely hot here during the summer months some shade for the pups would be nice. I was warned that when it's extremely hot, the rocks makes your dog's paw pads burst. :(

On a really hot day there is no shade and the stones get hot on those poor puppy feet and my pups tend to get overheated. We started using this location when the sun is setting and it's not so hot. It could use an awning or some shade cover but overall this is a good location to let your run dog for exercise.

Highly recommend taking a run/ walk at night if looking for a track.
