SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA
At the intersection of two bustling highways—I-85 and I-26—Spartanburg is within driving distance of major Southern cities like Birmingham, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Richmond. But beyond a premier geographical location, this town offers so much more, from its various extracurricular attractions to incredible athletic facilities.
Your Spartanburg adventure begins at the BMW Performance Driving School, where visitors can enhance their driving skills and have fun in the process. The setting: a versatile driving course equipped with a skid pad, slalom course, and water walls. Great times await under the expert guidance of professional driving instructors, behind the wheel of a fleet of new BMWs. You can also head over to Croft State Park, which offers over 20 miles of biking and hiking trails, a playground, and picnicking and camping areas.
