When it comes to spotting unique roadside attractions in South Carolina, your mind may automatically go to these 11 weird attractions. Or perhaps the giant turkeys that decorate the streets in downtown Edgefield come to mind. However, none of these spots compare to the totally unique roadside attraction in South Carolina that sits practically at the foot of Table Rock State Park.
It’s possible that you’ve actually passed Aunt Sue’s without noticing, simply because Table Rock is so majestic that most people pay more attention to the rock than anything else!

Roadside Attraction In South Carolina February 06, 2021 Kim Magaraci What is South Carolina known for? The Palmetto State is known for being a beautiful destination on the East Coast. Throughout the state, you’ll find historic remnants of the American Revolution and Civil War, where South Carolina was the site of many battles and movements. Our coastal towns of Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head Island, and Charleston are among the most popular tourist destinations in the country, and the inland town of Aiken is the winter headquarters of many international Olympic hopefuls in the equestrian sport of Eventing. What are the weirdest places in South Carolina? There’s no shortage of strange in South Carolina! Starting with the UFO Welcome Center in Bowman, you’ll be able to find all sorts of oddities around the state. Visit the Button King Museum, stay at the most haunted Inn in the south at the Battery Carriage House in Charleston, spend a day at the Kazoo Museum in Beaufort for a buzzing good time, or visit Taxidermy Paradise in Rock Hill for… uh, a closer look at taxidermy, if you’re into that. What one-of-a-kind destinations can I visit in South Carolina? If you’re a nature lover, visit Congaree National Park to explore the largest tract of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest in America, and maybe paddle down the Congaree River. The Riverbanks Zoo, in Columbia, is home to adorable koalas and an award-winning bird exhibit that houses king, rockhopper, and gentoo penguins. In Aiken, explore the breathtaking Hitchcock Woods or attend South Carolina’s own “Derby Day” during the Aiken Trials. Another must-see spot is the Oyotunji African Village in Beaufort County, which is a true West African village that hosts festivals and tours. And of course, Aunt Sue’s is one of the more unique roadside attractions in South Carolina.
