Do you have a great place for teens to add to our list?
Kristina Hernandez is a mom of two girls, freelance writer and photographer and New Jersey native who is thrilled to call the Upstate her new home. She loves cooking, trying new foods, and checking out all that Greenville has to offer.
Great list! I would also add Big Air in Greenville on Woodruff Road, LeMans Karting, and Spare Time in Greenville. And something else not mentioned would be Craft Axe Throwing (ages 8 and up).
