I'm not going to prepare this, let's see what comes up with a quick answer.
1. Main St.
2. Reedy Falls Park
3. Drive up through Travelers Rest and out to Caesar's Head and Table Rock
4. Boating on Jocasse and Keowee
5. Weekend in Charleston
6. Friday night at Greenville/Pickens Speedway!
7. Early morning walk at Furman
8. Canoe on Lake Robinson
9. Burgers and a Shake at North Main Soda Shop
10. Drive to Highlands,NC for day of window shopping.
Interesting, as I typed the list (tried to do it as fast as possible), I realized most of what popped into my head was actually going to surrounding towns. That doesn't mean Greenville lacks anything, just means there is some cool stuff around us.
I'm sure you'll get better lists that include more restaurants, etc. We're not restaurant people.
1. Take in a dinner and play at "Cafe and Then Some"
2. Sun and play on the rocks around Reedy River Falls.
3. Go to a Drive game at West End Field.
4. Have evening cocktails in the lobby bar of the Westin Poinsett then do dinner at Restaurant O, followed by late night jazz at Brown Street.
5. Spend a morning on the greenway trail....explore all the different paths through all the parks.
6. Have lunch at Northgate Soda Shop or Tanners Big Orange.
7. Take an afternoon drive up to Caeser's Head.
8. Have a theater evening at any of the downtown professional theaters: Warehouse Theater, Little Theater, Centre Stage Theater.
9. Attend the US Pro Cycling Championship (the Superbowl of cycling) on Labor Day Weekend in downtown Greenville.
10. Shop and eat your way down Main Street and through West End.
Oh boy, a really fun post to make! Now how do choose only ten out of so many fantastic options? I'll stick with the free or affordable attractions and events, so that everyone is included.
Stroll up and down Main Street, stopping into various shops and galleries. Mast General Store in particular would be a great place to check out.
Stroll through Falls Park on the Reedy, over the internationally-acclaimed Liberty Bridge, and along the RiverPlace Riverwalk.
Visit West End Field during a Friday night Greenville Drive home game and stay for the fireworks afterward.
Moonlight Movies at the Dow Amphitheatre (Peace Center for the Performing Arts) and/or Shakespeare in the Park at the Carolina First Amphitheatre in Falls Park
A Broadway show or Greenville Symphony Orchestra concert in Peace Concert Hall (Peace Center for the Performing Arts)
Any of the many annual outdoor cultural festivals downtown
Visit the BJU Museum & Gallery on a Sunday afternoon (free)
Drive or stroll around Furman University and its beautiful lake.
Drive over Paris Mountain on Altamont Road (Breathtaking!)
Drive to Ceasar's head State Park overlook and then hike to the Raven Cliff Falls (not too strenuous or long, but definitely gorgeous!).

Greenville Braves??? They've been gone for three years now. We have a much better team in town now, with an incredibly nice ballpark in the West End. The field is a mini-replica of Boston's Fenway Park, complete with the "Green Monster" in left field and the "Pesky Pole" in right field. The new ballpark, called West End Field, won the "2006 Ballpark of the Year" from baseballparks.com. It is definitely a top 10 "must do" in Greenville.
And I work for the Greenville Drive too. Also, last time I checked Biltmore Estate was NOT in Greenville.
