Roper Mountain is the place to bring your families for a hands-on and engaging experience whether it’s during the school year for field trips or during the summer for Summer Adventure and Summer Camps. Just ask other families in the area about their experiences and you’ll see why Roper Mountain continues to be a “must-see” experience in the upstate and beyond.
The beautiful 62-acre campus contains an array of state-of-the-art educational facilities including a Planetarium and Observatory, Marine and Ecology labs, a Rainforest, a Living History Farm, Dinosaur Adventure trail and a new Environmental Science and Sustainability Center.
Families can attend numerous events throughout the year including Friday Starry Nights, Afternoon Explorations, Summer Adventure, Laser Days of Summer, Summer Exploration Camps, and seasonal holiday laser shows. Regardless of age, you’ll surely find a plethora of engaging activities and fun for everyone to enjoy.
BridgeWay Station is a vibrant, all-ages destination for families, friends, and fun — and we’re thrilled to be named Best Date Night Activity by Kidding Around SC! This immersive town center blends stunning architecture with a lively culinary and lifestyle scene, anchored by 12 locally owned eateries.
Whether it’s grabbing a beer and playing pinball bowling at the brewery, enjoying an upscale dinner at Tavola, Rotie by Stella’s, or Restaurant Rocco, dancing the night away at salsa night on Cabanas’ rooftop, or savoring a late-night dessert and glass of champagne at Old Europe Desserts — there’s always something in store for a memorable date night here.
Visitors can explore diverse dining, shop local boutiques, hit the gym or nail salon, and even work or live right on site — all in a seamlessly integrated community setting. With a year-round lineup of farmers markets, live music, and family events, BridgeWay Station has quickly become one of Upstate South Carolina’s favorite places to dine, shop, work, live, play, and relax.
