Nights of lights - Not worth the money!! Overall the event was very disappointing. Most of the "light displays" were just figurines with lights on them, nothing seemed arranged with any sense of order or design. "Based on the website and the news promotions, I truly thought I'd be walking into a magical wonderland of lights. It definitely didn't live up to that expectation." Almost everything required a separate payment, except for the petting zoo, but the animals were far too large for the small space they were kept in. The whole setup felt disorganized and confusing. There were plenty of inflatables, which might suit very young children who don't need much to keep entertained, but overall the experience didn't feel thoughtfully put together. I wouldn't return. read more

This was my first time visiting Heritage Park period and to see the holiday lights. It was at my suggestion that we go for a family visit. My oldest niece and her family live in Simpsonville, but had never been to see the Christmas lights there. Heritage Park in my opinion is ok for the young at age and heart. No one was out there giving directions, it's too dark, not enough lights to see where the handicap parking is located. Not knowing and being able to even see where the entrance ticket gate is located, causes A LOT of walking, so make sure to put on your walking shoes. Tree roots that you could not see because there were no lights even to make sure you were walking on the walkways. An accident just waiting to happen. To make matters worse, unless you have a very very good sense of direction, to even remember where you parked in the dark. The admission cost is 5 and under free,$8 children 6 to 15 and $10 for 16 and up from Sunday to Thursday, the price goes up $2 for paying guests on Friday and Saturday. They're open from 5 pm to 10 pm Monday through Thursday and 5 pm to 11 pm Friday to Sunday. After admission you will still need to buy tickets for the rides, the petting zoo and pay $10 to ride the ONE pony. The place was VERY crowded with only two booths serving food items and beverages. The wait times for attractions and food is very long, only one place to sit and eat your food if you took the time to stand in the long lines. My suggestion is to eat before or after going. They do have watered down hot chocolate if you would like to wait in line for it. I did enjoy the light display and the look on my eight year old great nephew and two year old great great nephew's faces looking at the lights. Just looking at the number of people that go there and the money spent there, it should and could be better organized and much improved. It's worth at least one visit, children and the young in "age and heart" will enjoy it. This won't be a repeat tradition for me. As usual I did enjoy spending time with my family. read more

It's unbelievable to me that the entire park bans dogs. How can you have a park with running trails and natural beauty and not allow dogs? I can understand the field where the concerts are held not allowing animals. But there is literally a huge sign as you enter the property saying that no dogs are allowed anywhere on the property. I was really taken aback when I saw that sign. There are even studies that show the benefits of owning a dog and walking dogs because they get people out and about who otherwise may not get out and walk. I don't even go here. I just go to all the other beautiful parks in the area where I can walk and enjoy the beauty of the area with my friends and my furry friends. read more

Love the park, and come here OFTEN. The train is an unbelievable gift for grands. But if you're going to rent a pavilion I would suggest finding out what day they clean and then coming ON THAT DAY or the day after. Really embarrassing ... trash galore, cans haven't been emptied in maybe a week and flies and non-stop war with bees. Ruins the fun. BTW the train engineer (Al) ... an absolute ROCK STAR! read more

This has to be one of my favorite parks. Very clean and lots of parking. It is so serene and beautiful. If you are a walker or runner you will have plenty of room to get a great workout in. If you have young kiddos they will love the playground areas. Plenty of places to bring a picnic and listen to nature. read more

This is such a cute park in Greenville, so if you're on vacation (or live there) definitely check it out. The train ride is so fun, and for $2 it's a great time for kids and adults alike. The park itself is set up really great and has a great availability of things for kids to do. My only gripe was that there are 2 swings available which is small when considering the ratio of kids that visit. However this park is funded by donations so I completely understand. read more

Went here with the family on Labor Day. We went to the playground area to hang out and expend some energy. The play sets were well kept and sturdy with lots of obstacles and different activities for the kids to enjoy. I also like that that there is a lot of shaded area in which to relax while the kids are playing. Only one entrance so the safety factor is high. We enjoyed it and plan on going back. read more

I purchased special low back short chairs that the website says is allowed on the lawn for concerts. Guess what was banned? Hundreds of people having to walk back to their cars with short low back chairs like the website says is allowed. I'll not return there. Heritage Park acts like the concert goers are a hassle to deal with. I'll do us both a favor and look elsewhere for a place to attend concerts. read more

What makes it even more meaningful is the history behind it. Beginning in the late 1700s, water-powered industries clustered along the Reedy River, including trading posts, grist and corn mills, a sawmill, an ironworks, the Gower, Cox and Markley Coach Factory, a paper-making factory, and an armory. A century later, textile and apparel mills were established along its banks. Unfortunately, the mills discharged waste and excess dyes into the river, and the Reedy began to suffer from the spoils of progress. By the mid-20th century, downtown Greenville's stretch of the river was so severely polluted by upstream textile mills that the once pristine and popular falls became desolate and unsafe. Seeing how beautiful and vibrant the area is today makes you truly appreciate the restoration and revitalization efforts. It's peaceful, scenic, and rich with history -- definitely a must-visit when you're in Greenville. Cheers!
