Easily noticeable from the interstate but well worth a turn off to stretch your legs or grab a bite to eat. There’s plenty of parking at the restaurant beside whatever you call this water tank. I went mid day and it seemed the gates were close to enter it, I don’t know if that was a service route or what...but whoever did this has a funny sense of humor. I know Georgia mad about this one.

One can not ignore this water tower. While it is not uncommon to see fully decorated towers, this one in particular stands out due to the added detail of the stem and the massive size.

I actually went to the fats café and this attraction happened to be there... The kids find it interesting. The café was amazing with amazing food!

Noticeable from the interstate and fun stop if you have seen house of cards and you would like to quiz your friends to see if they remember it. Other than that, I wouldn’t stop there, the restaurant next to it is ok but not amazing

This had to be the most thrilling architecture weve seen traveling the highways and bi-ways in South Carolina! I get excited and take pictures every time I see it.

You cant pass it on the interstate without stopping and taking a pic. Abbott Farm stand is a good stop, too

Fun stop, especially after a long day of driving. There is a small parking area and huge fenced in grassy area around the peach which was great for our dogs to run around in! Right off the highway and easy to get to.

An obscure stop just off I-85 in Gaffney, South Carolina, this is an great place to take a.picture of something different. There is a fence around it. But, it is not locked. It worth a quick rest break.

A water tower disguised as a perfect peach complete with leaf and stem. Cant miss it traveling south on Interstate 85. Worth a stop to get a great photo op. Will definitely make you smile.

Worth stopping for a photo, but that is it. This is not a venue or a welcome center. The huge peach is a landmark only.

One of the wildest water towers ever. Have to see in person to properly understand why

This is in the backyard if the Fatzs Restaurant. Peachoid is a land mark in Gaffney. It is a gigantic peach. It can be easily seen from interstate 85. It can also be seen from Highway 11 as well as other roads in Gaffney.

Hi
Review №33

It was a super neat place to stop and take a photo. I didnt know there was a restaurant at the base of the water tower, so maybe next time we are in town we will try Fatz at the Peachoid. The Peachoid itself is a memorial to Jack E. Millwood, which made stopping at a giant peach water tower even better.My only suggestion would be to bring bug spray and wear tennis shoes.

Not sure why its called the peachoid when it is really a giant butt. It is nicely illuminated at night. Go giant peach butt.

Review №41

Im not much for reviewing water towers unless there is something interesting about them, and this is the most interesting water tower I have ever seen. It is shaped and painted to resemble a giant peach, giving a call out to peaches that are commonly grown in South Carolina although Georgia claims the title of peach harvesting. It has been recently given a fresh coat of paint and is easily seen from the interstate.

I MYSELF grew up in this town.... Well let me be honest, I grew up in Blacksburg.But everyone knows if you need anything, anything at all..... You have to either go across Broad River Bridge or Hit 85 to Gaffney. Or we of Blacksburg can go allllll the way to Shelby NC, THATS THE CHOICES WE HAD when I grew up there.I moved away to TN for round 14 years ago.... Thanks but no thanks TN.... IVE HEARD SC has gotten a lil scary, well my neighborhood is now. 2 shootings in 6 months 25 ft from my !!!!I WILL TAKE HOME AND SCARY OVER TN FOLKS ANY DAY!!!!!

The Peachoid is a local gem. Made famous by House of Cards Frank U. hometown in Gaffney, the Peachoid, continues to bring joy to all that pass it. The Peachoid was painted once a couple years ago and then repainted to reflect more of a peach appearance in 2017. It looked pretty good to me with both paint jobs.

Just drove by this on I-85. It was a life changing experience. After the numerous adult stores and strip clubs you have to pass by to get to it, its refreshing to see such a family friendly and welcoming attraction.Also it looks like a big butt.

Review №49

What great way to dress up an ordinarily prosaic bit of infrastructure! It makes me smile whenever I pass it on I-85. Its a short detour off the interstate, and the bonus is the opportunity to stop by Abbotts Farm store, where you can purchase everything peach and more. Try the peach and muscadine ciders.

The Peachoid is so stupid and awesome all at the same time. Its definitely worth the 2 minute drive off of the freeway to take in its glory. Huge parking area behind Fatz Cafe, and plenty of spots to take silly pictures with what appears to be a giant orange butt.The Peachoid was featured in season 1 House of Cards as a major plot line, so this is a must-see for any HoC mega-fans.

Visited for the Great Eclipse of 2017. The oid was fun when traffic prevented arriving in Greenville in time. A few concrete picnic tables and a paved path around the tower - thats it. Watch out for the fire ants!

The big Peach is easily seen from I-85. Its how we know we are halfway to our vacation distanation! We did not know that there were picnic and grills under it. A quite well maintained little park to stretch your legs and let the kids run around. The only bad thing was that the gate to the park was locked the day we went by but the park is easily accessible from the Fatz parking lot.

What could be better than a water tower shaped like a giant butt?!

Cmon - its a water tower that looks like a giant peach. Or, from the right angle, a giant butt. Seriously, isnt this something you must stop for?To be honest I dont recommend that anyone travel 50 miles out of their way to see it. But if your on the road and passing by its worth a stop to stretch your legs and take a selfie. Then go down the road and buy some fresh peaches, youll want them after seeing the Peachoid.

Bizarre structure - made famous by House of Cards (US) when President Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) returns to Gaffney - his home town - the Peachoid features! Despite the high profile in the series, Gaffney folk dont seem to want to make the link! Worth a look at as its so weird.
