Places to Take Your Parents in Clemson

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Clemson chapter.

With parent’s weekend coming up and family visits you might be asking yourself, what are you going to do all day?  Clemson has lots of cute places all around town for you to show them.  By the end of their visit, they will love Tigertown just as much as you!

1. Spill the Beans, Downtown Clemson

They serve everything from ice cream and frozen yogurt to coffee and hot chocolate.  Sitting on their signature comfy couches and eating your customized ice cream is a great way to spend an afternoon

 

        

 2.   Y Beach, Lake Hartwell

       Located just down the road from Clemson University, Y Beach is a great place to cool down from the South Carolina heat.  With a sprawling sand beach and a dock, you are guaranteed a relaxing day (and a tan).

 

       

3.    Attend a Home Game    

It’s one thing to see Clemson Memorial Stadium from the outside but it is a whole other experience being inside.  Check the game day schedule and invite your family down one Saturday this fall.  

4.   South Carolina Botanical Gardens

The Gardens are open everyday from dawn to dusk and are free of charge.  If you’re looking for an option that doesn’t require money, then a nice walk or drive through the area might be the perfect place for you.

5.  Uptown Art, Downtown Clemson

Everyday they offer canvas painting classes. You can check their calendar on their website to see what they’re painting that night.  If you are 21 or over you can even drink wine with your parents while you paint and have a blast doing it!
