My family’s go-to activity in Greenville is visiting downtown and the parks, so when the weather is rainy, cold or even hot, it can be tricky to figure out what to do in Greenville with the kids. The best thing about indoor places is they make a great bucket list for any day (no matter what the weather).
This list includes museums, indoor play places and arcades, restaurants with playgrounds, and more. All places on this list also offer drop-in or registration free activities for children making each the perfect place to head on that rainy, cold day when you need to get out of the house.
An amazing place for any age child where they have transitioning exhibits and many play stations. Three levels of learning and inspiration! Also a great thing to do on a rainy/cold/hot day!
