Review: A Must-Visit for Families and Enthusiasts Rating:…read more If you are looking for a fantastic way to spend an afternoon, the Model Train Museum is a true gem. It is an absolutely great place to take kids; the sheer scale and detail of the layouts are enough to keep little ones (and adults) wide-eyed with wonder for hours. There is something magical about watching the tiny locomotives wind through intricate landscapes that captures the imagination of every generation. Beyond being a top-tier attraction, they provide a vital service for the hobbyist community. If you have an old model train tucked away in the attic or a favorite engine that has seen better days, this is the place to bring it. They offer expert maintenance and repair services, handled by people who clearly treat every piece with the care it deserves. This is a five-star group of passionate individuals who are dedicated to preserving the history and joy of model railroading. Whether you're a serious collector or just looking for a fun family outing, the Model Train Museum is well worth the visit.

There is staff all around the area in the station so if you have any questions, feel free to ask them everyone is very friendly and the prices were good for what it was. Lots of trains lots of learning and lots of things for kids to play with of all ages. We were here for about an hour and a half and we probably could stay longer if we weren't on a schedule.

The birthday party proceeded perfectly well. All Big E staff did their jobs with care and perfection! They were all attentive to the needs of the host and seemed to really want to make this a memorable event for the birthday boy and his friends. There's eight movie screens, a full sized bowling alley, climbing and jumping activities to help keep the kids energy levels manageable. In better weather outside there's also a rather large and impressive miniature golf area. I can't believe that I've missed out on this fun place to take children to.

The only downside was that it's a little on the expensive side and you don't get any discounts if you have another children's museum membership.

Located in the Heritage Green museum area of Greenville, the Upcountry History Museum is the…read moreperfect small city museum. It has well laid out and informative permanent exhibits, giving you a great overview of the history of the region without it being information overload. They have a fairly large theater that plays a film if you're not too interested in walking around the exhibits. It's fairly compact in size, so you can visit both floors quickly if you are in a rush, or take an hour or two depending on your level of interest. They have several rotating special exhibits, which I feel is essential to keeping things fresh and encourages repeat visits. On my visit, I found both the special exhibits on the Avengers and Lady Bird Johnson to be of excellent quality. However, there was a dinosaur exhibit which I felt was of poor quality and not very informative, and it seemed to be more of an area for younger kids to play rather than have visitors learn. They are setting up to have a Looney Toons special exhibit some time in the next year. There is a small gift and cafeteria area with vending machines on premises. They participate in the Bank of America Museums on Us program, providing complimentary visits to cardholders the first full weekend of every month. Overall, I'd rate the Upcountry History Museum a 4.5 stars out of 5 for a small city museum, but happy to round up since I enjoyed my visit and found it vastly superior to the Greenville County Museum of Art a few minutes away.

On the campus are the Artists' Guild of Spartanburg County; Ballet Spartanburg; Spartanburg Art Museum; USU Upstate Art Gallery; the Spartanburg Science Museum; and the Chapman Theatre. These all have their own operating hours. The center is very easy to navigate and figure out where you want to be with the signs. I only visited the the art galleries as I arrived late in the afternoon. I would have loved to see a show at the theatre so now that I learned about the center I can follow the events as they happen frequently.
