Fort Mill offers a wealth of activities for a fun-filled day! Our family recently had a free Saturday and explored all the exciting options in town. With a two- and five-year-old in tow, we packed our day with various experiences to keep everyone entertained. Read on to discover all the local spots we visited!

Fort Mill Now at Mr. Putty'sBREAKFAST

We first fueled up for the day at Poppyseed Kitchen. With breakfast sandwiches, burritos, specialty baked goods, fruit, and granola, it was just what we needed to get going! From coloring pages and tabletop games to a giant Connect Four on the patio, it’s equipped to host kids of all ages.

COFFEE

Olive's CoffeeWe then headed to Fort Mill’s Main Street, where we stopped by Olive’s Mud Puddle, home to great coffee, local artwork, and eclectic vibes. We grabbed a couple of iced lattes and the new Discover Downtown Coloring Book featuring charming illustrations of local businesses by local artists. This is Fort Mill’s first coloring book curated by the Downtown Co-Op of Fort Mill Creative Committee and makes the perfect gift for any child or adult.

MINIGOLF

Off to Mr. Putty’s Fun Park for a round of minigolf! We love this 18-hole course that features water features, entertaining course detours, and air misters to help you cool off. If time allows, and if you’re of age and height, they offer a fun ropes course, zip line, challenge zone, and more to explore!

ARCADE GAMES & SNACKS

Replay Brewing

Feeling the effects of the Carolina heat, we sought relief at Replay Brewing, where we enjoyed food, drinks, and arcade games. This family-friendly brewery offers coloring books, crayons, and free video games, although you'll need cash for pinball and other arcade games. While Replay Brewing offers a great menu of small plates, we couldn't resist the Taco Molino nachos. Conveniently, QR codes on the tables allow for easy ordering. The nachos, paired with a refreshing Replay lager, were delivered promptly and hit the spot perfectly!

DOWNTOWN ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS

Pickle eating contestNext, we circled back downtown to The Print Shop (another stop on the YoCo Brew Trail)! In celebration of their recent second anniversary, they held a big day of pickle-eating contests for kids and adults (both of which we partook in), Kona Ice, and live music. Celebrating one of our favorite family-run breweries while indulging in Pop’s Pickles was a blast! A few doors down, Crossings on Main was celebrating its 30th anniversary! We adore Crossings on Main for their exquisite selection of gifts and décor, but their children's section is equally impressive, filled with puzzles, toys, quilts, lovies, books, and more.

SWEET TREATS

Candy StoreWanting to end the day on a sweet note, we walked up Main Street to Sweet Treats Candy & Confections. This new candy store in Fort Mill offers a fantastic selection of specialty chocolates, hard candy, jellybeans, lollipops, and so much more. It’s worth popping into to indulge in your favorite sweet treat. The kids were spent at this point, so we headed home and ordered Donato’s Pizza - a perfect savory way to end Saturday.

What a fun-filled day bopping around town, seeing friends, and visiting several of our favorite spots in York County!
