Experience the ultimate Auburn football getaway! Known as the "Loveliest Village on the Plains," Auburn, Alabama, is where the excitement begins, and it doesn't end at Jordan-Hare Stadium or with the game. Discover historic Toomer's Corner with its iconic oak trees, soak in the beauty of the Auburn University jogging trail, and indulge in art at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art. Splurge with a wine tasting or culinary class at Auburn University's Tony & Libba Rane Culinary Science Center or enjoy musical theater, chamber arts, dance, jazz, and celebrity concerts at the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center. Take a moment to breathe at Chewacla State Park where you can camp, hike, bike and swim in Lake Chewacla. And for something truly special take a tour of the Auburn Raptor Center and meet the resident raptors while learning about the rehabilitation program.
Nearby cities include LaGrange, Phenix City, and Opelika.
Toomer's Drug Store, a cherished Auburn tradition for over a century, stands at the crossroads of downtown Auburn and campus life, offering not only "world-famous lemonade" but also a nostalgic journey back in time. This original soda fountain-style diner and drugstore is a beacon of small-town charm, where you can savor mouthwatering sandwiches, soda fountain classics, and the iconic lemonade that put Toomer’s on the map.
