2. Lake Conestee Nature Park

4.5 based on 48 reviews
Reviewed By onemichael - Greenville, South Carolina
It is near the Donaldson Airport and Mauldin, SC and just 10 miles from Greenville. It is where the first baseball field was before it moved downtown Greenville. It is part of the watershed ( Reedy River) that travels to downtown. At one time i was very polluted but is much cleaner today and has several active beaver dams that raise the water level in certain areas. There are a couple of nature hike looks and about 12 miles of trails. You can easily do 2 or more miles as there are loops. Very little up and down so pretty level. Some areas might be accessible by wheel chair but other areas are a bit rough for that. A lot of bird watchers, families with small children, couples, etc. There is an old mill at one end. Plenty of parking and a couple of remote parking areas as well. We usually take more difficult hikes but wanted to see this place. It was very nice and nearby. Enjoy!!!

This area has wonderful walkways all along the Reedy River as it winds its way through downtown Greenville. There is a very large selection of places for snacks or full dining along the walkways on both sides of the river. Definitely bring your children! They will love all the ducks! There are countless photo opportunities on the pedestrian bridges. I saw an afternoon of smiles....it is a joy. And there is plenty of signage telling you the history of the river and the surrounding area.

Reviewed By Richard F - Greenville, South Carolina
My wife and I saw two shows a singer Jane Monheit and James Gregory a comic. Both shows were very good and the volunteers at Younts are outstanding. Very friendly and helpful. The building was an old school, which was redone very tastefully and the art work on both floors were very good. Now that we know about Younts Center we will definitely go back again.

I booked a spa day with my sister. I looked at another well rated spa, but chose Soulace because their relaxation room looked so inviting and well, relaxing. From the moment we walked in until the end, we were treated very professionally. The lockers are labeled with your name and inside are your robe and slippers. The robes are to die for! I had a pedicure, facial, and massage. All services were superb. First was my pedicure. They have headphones you can wear to listen to nature sounds etc. The foot massage and the hot towels were a real treat. I don't remember her name (Sandy maybe?) but she got out knots in my feet I didn't know I had. Up next was my facial. Meagan did my facial. She is very good and knows her stuff. This little powerhouse gave me a neck, shoulder, and arm massage that was out of this world. Didn't know I had knots in the palm of my hands! Last but not least was my actual massage. I know why it was booked last because I was completely done after this. Again, knots were massaged out that I didn't realize I had. The hot stones felt so good on my worked over muscles. Between each service we got to spend about 15 minutes in the relaxation room where we snacked and sipped champagne (different options are available for your food and drink). The only problem we had was my sister's massage therapy had gotten mixed up, but that was quickly resolved. I have had other massages before in Greenville, Hilton Head, and IOP and I must say that Soulace is near the top of the list. We will be back.

The not-for-profit Peace Center is the premier venue for live entertainment in South Carolina.
Reviewed By Lynne T
This was my first time visiting the Peace Center. It was a very pleasant experience, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Drinks were available for purchase, bathrooms easily accessible, available parking across the street, Starbucks within walking distance.
The concert hall was larger than I expected and decorated with an updated charming decor. We had box seats and that proved to be an enjoyable experience.
I totally enjoyed the concert and look forward to returning to the Peace Center again.

I'd rather take my chances walking through the Falls downtown. I wouldn't have minded as much, but I couldn't even relax where I sat. By the looks of the people that were there and the way they acted and talked I decided we couldn't leave our things behind.
I was even more upset due to the way they charged us on the way in. My wife and I had a buy one get one free. They made us use the free one on our daughter who was 1/3 the cost of us. I didn't even get in the trashy water.
Go somewhere else or don't go at all.
