Auburn University, the home of the Tigers and the constant ring of "War Eagle" in the air. Settled in the small town of Auburn, Alabama, football season is the only important season and we bleed orange and blue. But what is there to do for fun? Well, let me tell you...

Toomer's Corner

One of the most iconic things about Auburn, grabbing a freshly hand squeezed lemonade from Toomer's Drugs is a must for everyone who passes through this quaint college town. If your sweet tooth isn't quenched with just the lemonade, grab yourself a delicious homemade ice cream sandwich from there, too!

Samford Lawn

Take your lemonade and head across the street to Samford Lawn where you can sit and relax in front of the most iconic building on Auburn's campus. Take a friend and a blanket or a frisbee for a game of catch. You will find many people Enoing on the surrounding trees and enjoying the beautiful view and great Alabama weather. For dog lovers, you're almost guaranteed to meet a furry friend.

Rolling Toomer's Corner

Anyone who is in Auburn for a football victory must participate in this tradition, no matter what team you root for. Throwing toilet paper throughout the streets of downtown with the excitement of a victory is an explicating feeling. It is a one-of-a-kind tradition that must be witnessed and experienced to fully understand.

Chewacala State Park

A little slice of adventure smack dab in the middle of Opelika. A small climbable waterfall, multiple trails for hiking, and a small lake perfect for paddle board, swimming, or kayaking. Or take a ride on the mountain bike trail. There are endless spots for picnics and hanging out in hammocks. If you don't want to leave, you can always spend the night in the campground!

Abandoned Big Fish Movie Set

About an hour out of Auburn and a little past downtown Montgomery sits the abandoned set for the movie "Big Fish." Walk through the the town of Spectre and even into the houses that remain standing. Meet the new residents of the town's church which has been turned into a goat barn. This is a very quick afternoon trip that is well worth it! It only costs $3 a person!

Downtown Opelika

This sister town of Auburn holds a lot of history. This quaint little historic town is home to coffee shops such as Sidetrack Coffee. Eat at the delicious restaurants, and shop at the cool boutiques and other stores such as Music Town Records. Walk across the railroad tracks and check out the mural of Drew Holcomb painted on a wall next to a picturesque music venue that holds many up and coming artists. Only a short 15 minute drive from downtown Auburn!

Coffee Shops

Just like most college towns, Auburn has many coffee shops for you to choose from. If you want to be close to campus, Prevail Union on South College street is just a few steps from Samford. A few other around Auburn and Opelika include Coffee Cat, Sidetrack Coffee and the Bean. These coffee shops are great places to go hang out with friends, read a good book, or even study and do homework.
