The art museum at Auburn University has rotating exhibits inside and out with a mix of faculty and student contributions as well. The outdoor gallery is located around a pet-friendly walking track and water feature. It’s also a Pokémon Go fan favorite location for its multiple gyms and points of interest.

An array of trees & other plants native to the Southeast, spread over 13.5 acres with walking paths. The arboretum is located right on campus so you’ll have to go on a weekend or after 5 to make sure you can park. You can also walk from the CVS shopping center across from campus. It’s a great place to get close to nature and to learn a little about the plants native to the area.

Out of so many pizza places in downtown Auburn, this is the one to go to. A local favorite for great pizza by the slice and beer by the pitcher. Great place to start or end your night out. If you’re especially hungry, I’d recommend the Stromboli, cooked well done (for an extra crispy shell).
