Aiken is known for many things equine pursuits, the arts, sporting facilities, nature, and even playing a part in our country’s Rail Road birth and our fight in the Cold War era. With a history most small towns have never experienced the likes of; you’ll be enthralled with stories of our past and enchanted with the reality of a beautiful, charming, sophisticated town.

Aiken is a wonderful destination for a quick get-a-way or an extended stay, with countless activities to offer, many of which are free. Just 20 miles east of Augusta, GA, home of the Augusta National’s Masters Golf Tournament, Aiken offers a relaxing time for you to reconnect with friends and family.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing weekend or a more active respite, Aiken has something for you. Explore the Redcliffe Plantation (where “Cotton is King!”), Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and the DuPont Planetarium, just three of our many cultural sites. Get outdoors in one of our many parks, experience a polo match or tour Rose Hill Estate, where you’ll glimpse the past in the most well persevered “Winter Colony”.

Aiken will keep you busy and coming back for more with golf, history, star gazing at our Planetarium, gardens, concerts, shows, plays, art, festivals, antiques, history, tours, outdoor adventure, parks, softball, baseball, tennis, equestrian events and more.

We look forward to welcoming you and hearing your definition of what “Aiken Is.” Please visit us at www.aikenis.com today!
