Here Are 15 Awesome Things You Can Do In South Carolina For $10 Or Less
Everyone these days is living on a budget. It has become a necessity to stretch every dollar you have to the point of watching George Washington tear up from the strain. So, when your children come to you during the summer and tell you, “I/we want to go somewhere…anywhere, but here!” you cringe. You know that leaving the house means a big bite out of your banking account. But, I have news for you: It doesn’t have to mean you have to take out a second mortgage on the house. Here are 15 awesome things you can do in South Carolina for less than $10…minus gas of course.

They have free concerts all summer long 8:30 to 11 p.m. at night.
Take the children or just you and yours to this delightful little wild zoo and meet all the best friends! Best of all? It's free!
They have 10 different rooms full of visual happiness! Plus, they have children's activities. It's an awesome place to visit. Shhhhh! It's free.
It's notable as one of the premier American art museums of the South.
This can be a fun activity after you visit the museum to get the rest of the energy out of the children or just to have a bunch of laughs. There are 9 mice sculptures and there are clues for you so that you can play a bit of Hide-N-Seek.
This place offers many, many hands-on activities. You'll find the Gingerbread House, 3 Little Bears, and a Secret Garden along with so much more.
This is an interactive garden for children and you'll find such themes as "Butterfly Garden", "Dinosaur Garden", and "The Bird Garden".
Full of history and a great place to bring the children for them to run around while you take a leisurely walk. The views are so beautiful you won't even realize that you're still in South Carolina.
An absolutely gorgeous place to go and unwind for a day. Great for bird watching, looking for seashells, and just breathing in the nice sea air.
Visit the art gallery in Clemson. You'll be amazed at the different and rotating exhibits you'll see here.
A hands-on and interactive tour that shows you how energy and electricity is made. Also check out their small aquarium and give the fish the pleasure of your company.
This is a Revolutionary War battle site that commemorates the first battle fought south of New England on November 19-21, 1775.
This historic site is also to commemorate the battle that was fought here during the Revolutionary War. There's a visitor's center with an interactive exhibit and short film. You can walk the battlefield trail and the auto-loop road, and have a picnic afterwards.
Come step back into time at Kings Mountain. This park commemorates the only battle fought during the Revolutionary War in which Americans fought each other without assistance from other counties. It seems that some of them didn't want to separate from England. It was considered a turning point in the war itself. Visit the visitor's center and watch the film there and follow the historic trails.
Enjoy the beauty of nature here with hundreds of species of flora and fauna. There is even a mini waterfall. I heard somewhere that the sound of water can be very relaxing.
All of the activities I have suggested to you in this list are free! However, I can’t help you with gas prices and such. You can carry a picnic with you which is really fun and children always enjoy them immensely. Have fun and remember this: Some of the best things in life are free!
