- USAOnTheMoveCharleston, SC239 contributionsThe SOH is simply elegant and reminiscent of the intimacy in Broadway theaters. Not a bad seat in the house. Parking around town is easy and free. Several locally-owned restaurants within walking distance. I love seeing historic venues like this revitalized and bringing talent to the smaller cities and towns. A fun date night and perhaps an overnight with a hotel just across the street. Will definitely visit again.Written October 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Norma H9 contributionsThis park offers baseball cages, tennis courts, water pad for kids and playground area. On the otherside is a concrete walking path and two small wooden bridges to walk over and see fish and turtles from. The trees, plants and flowers are all beautiful. It's a very peaceful path to walk on.Written July 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Barbara KSumter, SC222 contributionsThe Sumter Gallery of Art, in the Historic District, though small, has excellent taste in their changing art exhibits. All media--photography to oils and water color to fabric, to clay to popsicle sticks-- are displayed from a wide variety of artists, local to international. Thought provoking, playful, imaginative. You can't go wrong with a visit. Free, donations appreciated. Nice gift shop.Written June 18, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dewayne PElizabethtown, KY2,024 contributionsThis small battle site was inspirational to me and definitely worth a stop if you are a Civil War buff. There are a few markers and monuments and the battlefield is pretty well preserved. There is a small parking area, no fee, and plenty of information about the battle.Written March 11, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- B9788DNjessicaaSumter, SC4 contributionsMy son and I saw the Sherlock Holmes play here and had an amazing time. Yes it is little, but that’s part of the charm. There’s not a bad seat in the the house and the local theater talent is amazing! There is a good variety of shows for all ages as well; family friendly, teens, and “adults only”. It is a wonderful time close to home!Written March 20, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- poptopEBSLexington, SC251 contributionsMany would greatly enjoy even a 30 minute visit. I spent nearly 2 hours there & had great talking with Diana Roof, museum site manager. When I went to The Citadel for college in 1962, I had ZERO awareness of antisemitism because Jews and were such a prominent part of our community. One display in the museum excellently affirms this. Great summary of Jews in S. C. as well as many of the Sumter families. The Temple with seating area & alter and plaques of deceased members is part of the museum. If possible, I highly recommend a call ahead to see if Diana will be on site.Written July 3, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Erin ESicily, Italy71 contributionsWhat an INCREDIBLE time we had yesterday playing the Tomb Raiders room! First, Megan was AWESOME from the moment we met her. She was enthusiastic and energetic and got us stoked for our room. Two of us have done numerous rooms and this Egyptian themed room had quite a few unique puzzles and features we had never seen before. Each twist and new item to solve was entertaining and challenging and kept us on our toes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and was worth the almost two hour drive. HIGHLY recommend this room, this location and ask for Megan as your host. Will definitely be back again!Written August 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
