Liberty Bridge

Reviewed By llbutin - Austin, United States

Amazing engineering suspension bridge right over the Falls river giving a great view of the Falls. If you're squeamish or motion sensitive but want to walk the bridge, then stay in the center where stability is better

We had a rental for a few days in this location and it was perfect. Lots of restaurant choices and coffee shops. The best part was the wonderful park with all the paths to walk and beautiful landscaping.

Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery

Temporarily Closed

Reviewed By 3dogluvr3

The museum building remains closed while preparations are made to move to town. However, tours for groups of 10 or more, and special events provide available viewing of selective and remarkable works on display in varied locations. Reservations are necessary, but easily arranged. I look forward to once again viewing their unique collection of sacred art when their own building opens in downtown Greenville which is growing, thriving, and among the best places to live and visit in the USA.

What I love about the museum is the many offerings for all age children. There are story hours, science classes, crafts, traveling or changing interactive displays, and a wonderful playground. I highly recommend a membership!
