I'll admit that I'm a little biased because I've been volunteering at RMSC off and on for about 15-yrs. They try their best to deliver a quality experience, and hopefully after COVID-19 abates they can resume likewise. The construction of a new building with state-of-the-art features continued during the pandemic, and is now set to open. RMSC was already a jewel, but now it will shine brighter. Whether your interest is the natural sciences or a demonstration farm, RMSC will not disappoint. For several years, until COVID-19, they had an annual butterfly experience, where you were immersed in butterflies with a magic wand to attract them. They have always had a great little farm where you could see heirloom vegetables whose seeds go back a hundred years , Saturday events where you could visit the half-dozen heritage buildings that were dismantled from someone's old homeplace and reassembled at RMSC, and goats you can feed, and blacksmith and woodworking areas to visit on select Saturdays. Volunteers abound and make everything work. They have a Planetarium with the latest projector and an observatory with one of the largest telescopes in the country. The Butterfly Garden is exquisite, and is maintained by Greater Greenville Master Gardeners. Wholly owned by Greenville County School for the past 20 years or so, it is the ultimate field trip. A visit to Greenville on a Saturday when RMSC is open to the public, especially if you have kids, is a must.

We loved the fossils and were very impressed by the museum, given it looks so small from the outside. There is a lot to look at! You could easily spend a bit of time here learning about fossils and minerals discovered locally in South Carolina and the rest of the world. The fluorescent room was great and also the opportunity to see (in real-time) work being done excavating fossils in the small side room.
