The theater uses local talent to voice the scripts and to produce the music, and they always do a fantastic job! The stories are creative takes on classics and the productions are fun, visually interesting and the marionettes are beautifully carved. This is also a great place for birthday parties. They have a traveling set that does special events too. They put on performances on Saturdays and the third Monday of each month. This is truly a local gem!

They have drinks, food, and so many fun fall activities that you can really spend a whole day here. Staff are friendly, the premises is well kept and there's so much to explore. Rain or shine, hot or cold Clinton shade farms is perfect to check out during the fall months before Halloween.

We have gone here three years in a row to visit the corn maze! The maze changes each year, so it is…read moregreat to go back and give yourself a new challenge. They have a tracking app to help you while you are in the maze and we found it super helpful! Food trucks are available as well as a snack shack, beer truck, and country store with snacks and other handcrafted items like ciders, jellies, etc. I found some of the food truck items to be a bit overpriced for the setting, but items from the actual venue were reasonably priced. There is a variety of activities available - corn maze, pumpkin patch, fire pit for s'mores, games, hayride, etc. It is kid focused, so more activities for "big" kids at heart would take my rating up a notch!

A great zoo experience!…read more We took advantage of the CoolPASS offered by Experience Columbia, SC getting us access to the Riverbanks Zoo & Gardens, EdVenture Children's Museum, and the South Carolina State Museum and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend! This also covers your parking for the zoo. Easy to redeem by going to Will Call. A short 2.5hr drive from Savannah, GA was well worth it! Staff was helpful for any questions. General admissions gets you access to the Zoo, Botanical Garden, Waterfall Junction, and Saluda Skyride. They do have additional experiences at an additional costs but not necessary if you are okay with missing out of the petting zoo, animal feedings, the carousel, train, and the Sky High Safari. A couple of food options are available such as burgers, chicken fingers, pizza, sandwiches/wraps, and Kona Ice. Meals are easily $20 per person if you are purchasing drinks. No outside food and drinks are permitted into the zoo but you can bring refillable water bottles. Picnic tables are available outside of the park and same-day re-entry is possible if you show your original receipt. We easily spent 5 hours at the zoo without any of the "Explore More" options. A full day at the zoo is very possible! Plenty of shade and things to see and do! Drop-off or 15-minute parking is available if you have someone in your party who may struggle with walking from the parking lot. Bring your own stroller or they have them available for rent if you needed. We saw many families with wagons/carts.

Always have a great time here! We ended up getting an Explorer Family Pass so we can come back…read moreagain and again. The Explorer Pass allows us to feed the giraffe ride the train, go in the petting zoo, ride the carousel etc as many times as we want for free. Certain things like the rope course are discounted, not free, just be aware. The kids love walking around watching the animals. They loved watching the gorillas and tortoises being fed. They happen to see a scuba diver cleaning part of the aquarium which was cool. We can't wait to come back again!

Fun night watching Spamalot at Town Theatre…read more What I loved: - free, easy on street parking after 7 pm. - super affordable concessions including beer and wine - decent sound and lighting Some highlights from the show: - the actors came out into the theatre aisles several times - fabulous flexibility by the cast - many people played multiple roles - great costumes and costume changes - several South Carolina jokes slipped in Community theater at its finest.

My youngest daughter has an interest in theater and I wanted to give her an experience that would encourage and inspire her to continue to express herself through acting. While I'm originally from Lexington, I now live in Honolulu, Hawaii. So I did some research online and saw that there was to be a performance while we were in town. I jumped at the opportunity and purchased tickets for us. The prices were very reasonable and we were able to get seats near the front/close to the stage - but not uncomfortably close. The theater itself was very well maintained, especially since it's a older/historic building. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. They even offered to print our tickets since we had no way of doing so. Also, the need to print tickets never occurred to me as I've converted to having most things in digital format in my day to day life. We were guided to our seats and given a thorough theater layout (pointing out restroom locations, exits, etc.) The highlight of the evening, of course, was the performance. We were both impressed with how incredibly talented the performers were at this community theater. I would love to visit again next time we're in town and if I were to live in the Columbia area, I am confident that my family and I would have season tickets.

There were about 17 food trucks/stands out today at this event. DJ Prince Ice was out today playing music to set the mood. Entry was $10.00 at the gate and $5.00 in advance. Parking was also $5.00. It was well worth it. We bought our folding chairs and canopy tent. There was plenty of tables and chairs but no shade. There were games for the kids to play and also free face painting. I will be looking out for this event next year.

We got there around three (it ended at five) so I was really surprised we were turned away the years prior when this was supposed to be a sold out event and there was so much room for people. There were no coverings, no shade so we sat in the sun and is why we went so late. Sorry to those who roasted in the sun for high priced beer and food. There was an odd assortment of food trucks, I expected more considering this was the second year at the fairgrounds which, again, made me question why last year we were turned away unable to even buy an entry ticket. There was a Mac and cheese truck, Jamaican, Korean, typical hotdogs, bbq and nothing else worth mentioning. I was excited to see so many craft beer places however, $7 for a lemon shandy which is $1.98 by my house is absolutely absurd!!!!!!!!! The gentleman understood but what can he do except give us a two for one...nice! It's still 3.5 for the price of one! Never again! There was no vegan options, vegetable spring rolls which I ordered and was equally disappointed. They were grease soaked and not even hot. The Jamaican truck had plantains but the line didn't move for the 25 minutes we stood in line. There wasn't any food coming out...HARD PASS! I, we, vegans, don't want fries that taste like fried fish or meat that's for sure. We enjoyed ourselves thanks to the two for one special and DJ Prince Ice played some great throw back jams but other than that, it was a waste. I won't be coming back unless there's a vegan truck out there. Who ever is in charge of marketing and recruitment should ensure to have something for everyone.

All the seats are actually good, but next time I will go early for a better seat choice. I actually liked the theater, even though its been neglected for many years. The outside of building is in great shape. The bathrooms are on the second floor, theater on third floor. Elevators are old and slow, we decided to use the stairs instead. No concessions, so eat before you attend. They are taking donations for the upgrade of the seats, I will post pics. The play was excellent, all the actors did such a wonderful job! I will watch the website for future plays. My daughter attended medical school at USC for 6yrs, so I have first hand experience on what the school charges for fees. Im really disappointed that the school has failed the up keep of this historic building. Im not accepting any excuses, its actually shameful. The Arts dept, staff and students deserve better than this. If you want the real history of the theatre, read the truth. I wasn't surprised at all. https://sc.edu/about/our_history/university_history/presidential_commission/commission_reports/final_report/appendices/appendix-11/recommended-for-removal/longstreet_theatre.php

This market is truly a hidden gem for the town of Lexington!!!…read more We've been to the Icehouse Amphitheater on Main Street in Lexington, SC on multiple occasions. For the past few weeks we've been visiting this location, because they have "The Market" every Saturday from 9am-1pm. They only do this local market from May 14th through September 24th. I have discovered some awesome local vendors that sell alot of homemade crafts. This Amphitheater also does many free concert events on Thursdays, and it's always a great time. There is a huge separate building that has both male and female restrooms. There is a public parking lot on site, as well as nearby street parking. Even when they've had large entertainment events, we've never had any issues with parking. I would highly recommend this local market and outdoor Amphitheater to coworkers, friends, and family members!!! Come by and say Hi, I sell here also!

The tickets said the event was for 6:00, then it was changed to 6:30. At 7:45, the band still had not made it out and people were complaining. When one of our party went to talk with the management to find out what was going on and why things weren't on time. The first person we spoke to said they didn't know what the hold up was. When the event planner was approached, he said that they were on time. We have never been to an event there where we had to wait so long before the performers began. Then when the event finally started, it was unbearably loud. So much so, that there was feedback and distortion. We had to leave. First time we have ever been let down, but this was a big let down and to top it off , we had to pay for the tickets. Surely their contract spells out what is expected of the band. When they are to go on stage and for how long. Also, I have never been there when it was physically uncomfortable because they music was so loud. My ears are still ringing.
